    Chicken Scratch Apologetics. Jehovah's Witnesses say the name of God is Jehovah? Is that true? Can we just use Yahweh? Do I need Jehovah to be saved?

    I really wish i could get my dad to leave the organization, however once JW's have their claws in you, they use every sort of tactic to keep you in their grip. The more popular use is guilt tripping and excommunication. It's sad. I've seen it tear families apart, including my own. I wish to one day have a conversation with my dad where he feels like he doesnt have to be constrained.

      God "chose" both my brother and i ... we serve the KING, Christ Jesus! our dad is a JW who was previously ex-communicated and after 2 decades of seeking the things "of this world" he has found his way back to kingdom hall and now he just seeks the things "of this world" under the guise of "jw".
      i dont like to ay that but its the truth! he lives in the Philippines with a girl thats less than half his age and hes 65 i believe. he wont talk to me or my brother because we told him that jw is a cult!
      told him that noone is saved by any religion whatsoever(because its true) and told him that "religion" is the "works" of and "go to" of the devil..because it is.
      i told him that he is a polytheist because jws believe that Jesus is "another, lesser god" which is absolute blasphemy.. and they believe that Jesus "became: the arch angel " Michael" when HE was crucified! can you believe that? they believe that Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Alpha & Omega" the RISEN CHRIST, the redeemer, the SAVIOR OF THE WORLD....is Michael!!!
      im baffled at their beliefs... i did my due diligence. i studied their "religion" as honoring my dad like the bible says and yet, he hasnt honored his own son like the bible says to.
      he outright rejects the diety of Christ...jw is complerely a "works" based religion... they hardly use the bible ...they "study" the " watch tower" magazine . theres just so much i can say about that " CULT" and how its all wrong however the "governing body" trains...more like indoctrinates them not to talk to people outside of their religious cult when not doing " field service"...
      im sorry that youre dealing with all that my friend, i understand your frustration and pain and im sure that er have more in common than that.
      i think i will stop with what ive said now... i hope that your dad realizes how he as well as my dad has been "BAMBOOZLED BY BEAZELBUB" .....
      May God Almighty bless you and your family...CHRIST IS KING!!!

    There seems to be some major misconceptions about the name "Jehovah."
    1. Can YHWH be transliterated as Jehovah? Sure.
    2. Are JW's the only group who use the name "Jehovah"? No, as DH pointed out, many Christians use the name Jehovah in worship. "Yahweh" is often used over "Jehovah" when teaching but "Jehovah" is still used. So JW's are wrong if they think they are the only group that uses the divine name.
    3. Christians do not have a problem with the tetragrammaton being transliterated in the Bible as "Jehovah" rather than using the circumlocution "LORD." So why do most (not all) English translations use "LORD"? People may not agree with it, but they should at least understand why translations made that decision.
    4. The controversy always centers on the NWT's insertion of "Jehovah" into the NT. The Greek NT that we have (JW's included) does not contain the tetragrammaton.
    Therefore, Christians content that it is illegitimate to insert the divine name into the NT since the tetragrammatonis not found in the NT.
    JW's contend that the original manuscripts contained the tetragrammaton and that between the time John finished writing (c.95) and the extant manuscripts (c.200) that a mystery group replaced the tetragrammaton with Kurios. So they have "restored" it.
    This would be admirable if it was true but there is no evidence for their claim. The NWT provide pages and pages of arguments that can seem impressive to the untrained but the trained examiner sifts the arguments and finds them devoid of evidence.
    JW's want to claim people can trust the NT based on the numerous manuscripts and textual criticism while at the same time denying textual criticism and claiming that all of the manuscripts have been deliberately corrupted my some mystery group. They can't have it both ways.
    If a mystery group was able to track down every NT manuscript throughout the Roman empire and the tetragrammaton without leaving a trace and without anyone taking notice (which is beyond reason) then there is no way to know if they changed or added other things. Maybe this mystery group added the virgin birth story.
    Bottom line is that the manuscript evidence is unanimous so to claim the tetragrammaton was originally in the NT is to claim the NT cannot be trusted.
    This is what the dispute over JW's use of Jehovah really boils down to... and the fact that they inconsistency (even according to their own standards) "restore" the name.
    JW's should take this seriously.

    In what we call, 'The Lords Prayer,' Jesus told the disciples and all believers right in those very first words to refer to God as 'Our Father,' then 'who art in heaven,' followed by 'hallowed, (holy) be thy name.' We are not told to invent or guess at a name, but rather, Jesus tells us that God's name is holy and, very distinctly, gives us no name to use other than 'Father.' Our relationship with Almighty God is a father/child relationship. What a wonderful fact that is, that God loves us and accepts us as His children, wants us to share a two-way, intimate, loving, father/child relationship with him. Matthew 6 9-13. 2 Corinthians 6 18. A relationship made possible by Jesus Christ Himself.

    Another nicely put together video. I have cousins who are JWs and the use of the sacred name is important to them. But what they don’t understand is that Jesus said to call God, “Our Father” no need to use the formal name. Besides, Jesus implies that to refer to God as “Our Father” is to establish an intimacy. Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but JW founder Charles Taze Russell was drawn to the occult and it’s possible he thought that if he used the name of God it would some how be like “magic.” The Kabalah Jewish mysticism seems to imply that if one uses a particular sequence of words in Hebrew God’s power is unleashed/manifested. Anyway, just a thought I had. Thanks again for your postings! Very helpful and informative.

Righteous and true are your ways, King of eternity. 4 Who will not really fear you, Jehovah, and glorify your name, for you alone are loyal?

Ehyeh is not YAH, as in Halleluyah, which means "Praise YAH." Jehovah is NOT God's revealed name. The apostles never knew the name of Jesus. The disciples knew Christ as YAHSHUA, but on the streets of Jerusalem, they heard the common Aramaic name Yeshua. The name Jesus has only existed since the 17th century. God revealed the name of salvation, and to reject this one revealed name, YAHSHUA, is to stand condemned (John 3:18).

      MR D C1 is a troll, so don't pay any attention to him. He doesn't watch the videos he comments on, doesn't answer people's questions, obviously doesn't read what people write, etc.. Bottom line he's not honest.
      As far as Lev 24:16, that's really interesting-I've never seen that before. I think the translation reflects the translators view at the time (c. 250 BC) that to speak the divine name of God could be considered blasphemy.
      We see Jesus being sensitive to his contemporaries view on this matter by using circumlocution instead of the divine name (eg. Mar 14:62).
      There is nothing wrong with saying the name of God ("Yahweh" or "Jehovah"-however you want to say it), nor is there anything wrong with just using the title "Father" as Jesus taught. The only times it would be wrong to use the name of God is when it is being used irrelevantly or flippantly and in situations where it might offend others (like Jews today who think it's wrong to utter the divine name).
      I'm glad you and your wife got out of the JW. Thanks for this post :)

    Hi friend,
    This is completely off topic, but could you do a video breakdown of Matthew 24. It’s one of the most complicated chapters in the Bible in my opinion, and there are many different opinions on it, and what applies to the talk of the destruction of Jerusalem, and what applies to Jesus’ literal coming. As much as I disagree with the preterist interpretation of scripture, it does sound like a large portion of it had a first century application. Thanks so much

    If it is so un-important to use Gods proper name, why are there scriptures such as Exodus 9v16, whereby he tells Pharoe that he has let him live, to show him his power, and "In order to have MY NAME declared in all the Earth".?
    Then, in John 12v28. Jesus said. "Father, glorify your name". Therefore a voice came out of Heaven. "I both glorified (It) and will glorify (It) again"! Then, in Acts 15v14-17, he actually points out, using The Apostle Peter, (Cephas), as to the name that the people he choose will be called by. ! Backed up by Psalm 18v43.!

    Rom 10:9-13 is one that I often throw at a JW. They often cite the passage and ONLY in the JW bible (NWT) do the cite the name Jehovah when the whole context is about Jesus. You should see the shock look on their face when ask them to read the full context. Then I add "proof that you when you use technology to do a search and replace to add your trademark god name to the bible, you come up with human errors or just blasphemy. " Or was it intentional to add the company brand name Jehovah to that text? Just goes to show that the true God is not going to allow the son, Christ Jesus to be replaced since he will always exist in full context.
    BTW, great video on the "truth" of how use their god's name. But I will always have to disagree with God and Christ being the same and coming to earth in the flesh. That's another video of course. Still Christ is salvation, and we say all prayers in the name of Jesus.

    “Jehovah…” (Yehovah) It is widely used in many churches. It is considered by many Christians to be hollowed, and many beautiful hymns also endear it, however, this name “Jehovah” is a concoction of man. Therefore, it is a “mongrel,” a “hybrid,” and it is “fantastic,” a fantasy, and it is “monstrous!” There is something very wrong with this euphonious name Jehovah. Therefore, the name of Jehovah was a name never revealed by the LORD. The facts have only to be known to justify this verdict. What are the facts?
    Ever since the Babylonian invasion of the Kingdom of Judea, and the enforced diaspora of its noble class in 597 BCE, the Jews have had a strong penchant for hiding the name of the LORD (YHWH) from the Gentiles, thus preventing them from potentially profaning the LORD’s name revealed to Moses (specifically the name of YAH, “HaYAH”, as found in Exodus 3:13-15). YAH is “the name which is above every name.” Readers in the synagogues would inadvertently attempt to pronounce the LORD’s name, as there were no vowels in the Hebrew words within the Hebrew Bible [or known as “The Old Testament”] when coming upon God’s name: YHWH. Later, the Jewish clergy developed the practice, around the 1100s of adding Hebrew vowels created by the Masoretes, to the Tetragrammaton [Gr. word for the four consonant letters of the LORD's name]. The vowels were taken from at least three other Hebrew words, namely, Adonay (meaning Lord, with the vowels of a-o-ai causing the hybrid name YaHoWaiH, or later shortened to YAHWEH), Eloah (meaning God, with the vowels of e-o-a causing YeHoWaH later Jehovah or Yehovah), and Elohim (meaning Gods, with the vowels of e-o-i causing YeHoWiH, as shown in Strong’s Dictionary of Bible Words # 3069). These hybrid names were never meant to form any legitimate name for the LORD but were placed there to remind the readers in the synagogues to say, “Adonay” instead of attempting to pronounce the LORD’s actual name.
    How was this euphonious name, Jehovah, propagated?
    Later in Medieval times, the Roman Catholic Church was known to raid Jewish synagogues, take their gold, and the Hebrew Scriptures [the Old Testament], and persecute Jews. Raymondus Martini was a 13th century Dominican friar and theologian. He is remembered for his book called “Pugio Fidei” (in the year 1270 CE). Finding the absconded Hebrew Scriptures in the Dominican Library, and believing he had discovered the name of God, he used the name Iehovah (or Iehova) in his book not understanding that these vowels were not original to the LORD’s actual name. The name and pronunciation of “Jehovah,” (and also the name Jesus unknown until the 17th century) were essentially unknown in the years before 1520 CE, when introduced and propagated by Peter, Galatinus (1450-1540), he held the office of penitentiary under pope Leo X. His chief work De Arcanis Catholicae Veritatis, a book, written at the request of the pope, the emperor, and other dignitaries, in the year 1516 CE, as he also used the name Iehovah in his book. The name Iehovah was altered with the addition of the letter J, which was a recent addition to the English alphabet in the 17th century. Galatinus also did not know of the Jewish practice of adding vowels from an entirely different word. He did not know that the vowels found around the Tetragrammaton YeHoWaH were from the Hebrew word Eloah, and if he did, he did not care. Noted Bible scholar J. B. Rotherham, essentially stated, “To give YHWH (Latin: IHVH and later JHVH) the vowels of the word (ELOAH) to remind the Jewish reader to say, ‘Adonay,’ and to be pronounced by the Christians, ‘Jehovah,’ is about as hybrid a combination as it would be to spell the name of Germany with the vowels of Portugal-viz., Gormuna” (The Emphasized Bible, J. B. Rotherham, Kregel Publication, 1994, Pp. 24-25). Jehovah in its present hybrid form has only existed since the 17th century. Fact: The LORD’s essential name is YAH, and Bible scholars have acknowledged YAHWEH (see Strong’s #3050), as in “Praise YAH,” Hebrew: “Halleluyah!” The English “Hallelujah” is a misnomer. YAH is “the name which is above every name” (Philippians 2:9), and YAHSHUA is the only name by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and this name is to be known among every language, and tongue, as the essential revealed name of the LORD according to the Gospel (Philippians 2:11), YAH, as in HaYAH (the I AM). The Savior identified His name as “I AM” (YAH, see John 8:58). The prophet Isaiah identified the name of salvation as YAH (Isaiah 12:2 NKJV). And “shua” means “my help”, as in “my salvation.” To reject the revealed name of YAHSHUA, which was given by the angel (Matthew 1:21) is to stand condemned (John 3:18). YAHSHUA is shortened from the name YAHOSHUA, which is commonly spelled Yehoshua largely due to the Jewish practice of hiding the name YAH, by adding vowels to YHWH, the Tetragrammaton, from the Hebrew vowels of Eloah, which caused the false Yeh, as a result, scholars would consider YAHOSHUA a philological impossibility, however, they are mistaken.
    What does the name Jehovah mean in Hebrew?
    Je-hovah, “hovah” in Hebrew means, “Ruin, Mischief, and Calamity” (see Strong’s #1942, #1943). The Jewish Encyclopedia, states, under the name “Jehovah,” “This name is commonly represented in modern translations by the form Jehovah, which, however, is a philological impossibility” (p. 160). The Jehovah’s Witnesses admittedly make a similar reference that the name Jehovah is inferior, in their book: Let Your Name Be Sanctified (p. 16). Undoubtedly, the name Jehovah is not the revealed name of the LORD! Many Christian clergy know the truth that the name Jehovah is bogus. Still, due to their tradition, or the fact that this name erroneously appears in the King James Version of the Bible, they hold to this euphonious name for the sake of their tradition, which makes void the revelation of God (Mark 7:6-7). The Lord has a warning for them, “And now, O priests (pastors and teachers), this commandment is for you. If you will not hear, and if you will not take it to heart, to give glory to My name,” says the LORD of hosts, “I will send a curse upon you, Yes, I have cursed them already, because you do not take it to heart” (Malachi 2:1-2). Satan is deceiving the whole world (Revelation 12:9). Despite being told the truth of the one name of salvation, YAHSHUA, they will hold to the name Jesus and Jehovah, despite never having been revealed by the LORD. Many will reject the name YAHSHUA leaving only a few, and being of the many despite the admonishment: “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). The name Jesus was never revealed by the LORD, or an angel of the Lord, and history proves this, as eminent historian Ernest Renan acknowledged that the Savior was never in His lifetime called “Jesus” (The Life of Jesus, p. 90). The name Jesus, in its present form, has only existed since the 17th century.

      I think you need to do some research based on recent ancient manuscripts now digitised and put online , such as the Allepo Codex, and the Royal MS 16 A II available online at the British museum which have the tetragrammaton with the VOWEL POINTS, the vowel points being the "Sheva, the Cholem & the Kamatz.
      There is also a clue in the names of people in the Bible whose names were made up in part from the names of their gods, referred to as THEOPHORIC NAMES IN THE BIBLE,,,,,,theophoric names are names derived from a god. For example:
      False gods: Bel and Nebo: Bel = Belteshazar (Daniel) Nebo = Nebonidus, Nebuchadnezzar,
      True God Yeho(vah) ….Yehoyakim, Yehoram, Yehoshua, Yehoshaphat, Yehudah, Yehoash , Jeho-a-haz
      The CLUE is in the name. If you really are open minded and really do want to find out the real way to pronounce God's name, then may I suggest that you look into it with an open mind. The Hebrew scholar Nehemiah Gordon will point you in the right direction as he does NOT have a horse in the race, and will prove how the name was NEVER LOST, but rather was hidden !

    The vowels of “adoni” are not used in Jehovah. The proper Hebrew pronunciation is Yehovah. Germanic languages translated it Jehovah. English uses this. But since both of us are not skilled Bibles translators, I’ll keep it simple.
    Proof from the scriptures that Jehovah is the proper English translation is the name of men with God’s name in it.
    JEHOADDAH (Jehovah Has Decked Himself)
    JEHOADDAN or JEHOADDIN (Jehovah Is Pleasure)
    JEHOAHAZ (May Jehovah Take Hold)
    JEHOASH
    JEHOHANAN (Jehovah Has Shown Favor)
    JEHOIACHIN (Jehovah Has Firmly Established)
    JEHOIADA (May Jehovah Know)
    JEHOIAKIM (Jehovah Raises Up)
    JEHOIARIB (Jehovah Has Conducted [Our] Legal Case)
    JEHONADAB (Jehovah Is Willing)
    JEHONATHAN (Jehovah Has Given)
    JEHORAM (Jehovah Is High (Exalted)
    JEHOSHABEATH (Jehovah Is Plenty)
    JEHOSHAPHAT (Jehovah Is Judge)
    JEHOSHEBA Jehovah Is Plenty
    JEHOSHUA Jehovah Is Salvation
    JEHOZABAD (Jehovah Has Endowed)
    JEHOZADAK (Jehovah Pronounces Righteous)
    Notice the prefix JEHO- in all these names. Look in your many dictionaries, that blaspheme Gods name by not giving it proper respect, and their definitions to those names and they all say “Lord“ this or that. That prefix isn’t for “LORD” or adoni, but for “Jehovah”. Not one scholar has criticized the translation of those names and said, “There is no”J” in Hebrew. When discussing the name Jehovah, we’re not discussing Hebrew, we are discussing English translation from Hebrew.
    This is just one huge evidence that the proper name of God translated to English is Jehovah.
    How do Jehovah’s Witness pronounce God’s name in Hebrew? Yehovah.

    It depend on what bible you are reading from. How do you know the bible you are reading from is from God?
    The words in the bible have been messed around with for years.
    Which religion is the right religion?
    There is no religion, there is no church, kingdom hall or any other building of worship that speaks the truth. You can pick fault with everyone one of them.
    The way to God is through Jesus and only through him will you be answered.
    I don't go to any place of worship as once they open their mouths you can tell you are being mislead.
    The only way is to talk to God through Jesus and then you will be saved.
    Why people like you mock JW's and not the rest of them is beyond me. Why not talk about the Catholic Church that bow to Mary for their sins. Mary is nothing, she is just a woman.
    How about Islam, another false religion.
    There must be around 100,000 different religions alone in America
    The road is narrow, and few will find it..... True words them, as 99.99% of people that go to Church are in the house of Satan and not God.
    Stay away from these places and cut out the con man. Pray to God and talk to him to put you on the right path. But, there is no need to judge other religions because you disagree with them. It's not your place to correct them but Gods.
    If someone is truly wanting to be saved God will show them the way.

      I had confronted you several times with this key text of the New Testament.
      I am forced to repeat the accusation that you are unteachable because you refuse to accept irrevocable biblical facts, especially since the message in this biblical text cannot be misunderstood.
      According to verses 1-3, the apostle Paul laments his fellow Jews, even though he testifies that they show zeal for their God Yahweh.
      According to verse 9, the apostle Paul emphasizes that true worship of God requires that Jesus be recognized as Lord.

    There is also a clue in the names of people in the Bible whose names were made up in part from the names of their gods, referred to as THEOPHORIC NAMES IN THE BIBLE,,,,,,theophoric names are names derived from a god. For example:
    False gods: Bel and Nebo: Bel = Belteshazar (Daniel) Nebo = Nebonidus, Nebuchadnezzar,
    True God Yeho(vah) ….Yehoyakim, Yehoram, Yehoshua, Yehoshaphat, Yehudah, Yehoash , Jeho-a-haz
    The CLUE is in the name. If you really are open minded and really do want to find out the real way to pronounce God's name, then may I suggest that you look into it with an open mind. The Hebrew scholar Nehemiah Gordon will point you in the right direction as he does NOT have a horse in the race, and will prove how the name was NEVER LOST, but rather was hidden !

And with this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written: ‘After these things I will return and raise up again the tent of David that is fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins and restore it, *so that the men who remain may earnestly seek Jehovah, together with people of all the nations, people who are called by my name, says Jehovah* , who is doing these things, known from of old.’ Therefore, my decision is not to trouble those from the nations who are turning to God.” (Acts 15:13-19)
    This is the reason JW’s proudly identify themselves as *Jehovah’s* Witnesses. *His name has to be represented by his people* .
    So although the “J” does *not* appear in the original Hebrew-Aramaic language, however, the most commonly accepted translation of YHWH in *English* is *Jehovah* or *Yahweh* .
    Jesus Christ was given, *by God* , “the name above every name”, *with the exception* of God’s own personal name: *YHWH* . (Psalm 83:18)

      JW DEFENSOR. Jehovah has nothing to do with the WT Organisation. WT committed identity theft when Jehovah's name was hijacked in order to scam people.
      After the death of the deluded Charles T Russell, the crafty Joseph Rutherford took over Russell's bible students and ran the organisation for his own nefarious benefit. In 1931 Rutherford hijacked the name Jehovah as a brand name for the scam that he played on desperate and vulnerable folks during the Great Depression while he lived as a king in luxury. He created the Jehovah's Witness religion, continuing to use the Bible as a front for his own gain.
      Watchtower is a scam that is still perpetuated today by evil men to control the lives of JW's in order to maintain and expand its empire, it is a publishing business that poses as a religion.
      It is a dystopian organisation, an Orwellian world, that uses the Bible as a front for its heinous agenda in a similar way that criminals use a legitimate business as a front for felonious activity.
      Watchtower's Jehovah is a fake; no wonder WT's predictions never come to pass, no wonder the Organisation has to keep coming up with 'new light', no wonder WT shuns and gags people who discover the truth about 'the truth' from enlightening JW's in the Organisation, no wonder this evil Organisation can be so controlling and abusive to its members, no wonder WT can feed JW's hogwash that has nothing to do with the real Jehovah. Nothing comes through Watchtower and the Governing Body to Jehovah's Witnesses from the real Jehovah.

      @MR,
      You and I do *not* know if apostle Paul used YHWH in his *original* writings. Remember: *All we have today are copies* . Hence, *based on evidence* , he most likely did use YHWH, *since it is found in the Hebrew-Aramaic referenced by Paul* .
