Thought for the day: Jehovah is God's name.  It was originally in the Bible in over 7,000 places but has been removed by various bodies due to superstition etc.  Micah 4:5 For all the people will

To know God's name Jehovah, is more than just an awareness of it's existence.

I know my grandpa loved God, and talked to him as if he was a friend. But he never had the opportunity to realise the importance of using God's name.

What about those through the centuries, who may have been anointed, but may have only vaguely been aware of God's name, and in some cases not even known it.

The title 'Elo'him' is used in the Hebrew scriptures for the following:

Jehovah (the true God)

Dagon (Philistine god)

Nisroch (Assyrian god)

------------------------------------

The Greek term for God, Theo-os for:

The true God

Zeus (Roman Jupiter)

Hermes (Mercury Novel)

It is essential to distinguish the true God by the use of His personal name Jehovah.

Jehovah will have His message preached to the extent He has foretold, there may be ways that reach those that have yet to hear, that we are unaware of.  Who would have thought, as recently as last year, that we'd be carrying out that preaching work using electronic means.

It is not outside of the realms of possibility to consider Jehovah able to 'know' how a person 'would' react had they heard the good news.  That's not what I'm saying will happen, I'm simply saying all things are possible with God, and some of those things may fall within the following scripture:  Isaiah 55:9 - "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So my ways are higher than your ways And my thoughts than your thoughts"

That is what faith and knowing Jehovah results in, absolute conviction that what He has said He will do, His way.

It is indeed, especially when someone happens to be from a non Christian culture with all kinds of gods. Then like the apostle  Paul, you need to identify which god you are talking about, and familiarize them with the one and only true God, the creator, whose name is Jehovah.

When you talk to "Christians" they only believe in the true God, the God of the Bible. Although of course many times he is part of a "pretzel", the trinity. And many times, when you talk about Jesus, they think you are talking about God. It's always good to establish first, exactly what they understand under the term god. And then you can move forward with showing them that God and Jesus are separate beings, and that God also has a name. I had a Bible study once, who was previously an atheist, and for her, it was no problem to understand that Jehovah is the creator, and that Jesus is his son. She didn't have the baggage of the trinity belief.
And then I had a return visit, where the lady just couldn't get past it, and just kept insisting Jehovah is a triune God, and when pressed as to the scriptures which clearly show Jesus is God's son, she said it was a mystery. And that was that.

I have a very good book, written by a brother, Brian Holt, called "Jesus-God or the son of God?" It is chock full of scriptures, many that haven't been covered by the org. and it's great for anyone who wants to spend hours and hours studying to disprove the trinity. I never did, but it's there for reference if I need it.

In the field, I have found that it is sufficient to show a few fundamental scriptures, where Jesus is clearly talking about God being his father, because there is no point with reasoning  beyond those fundamental scriptures with a die hard trinitarian, because they are simply unwilling to reason.

It is good to mention also, that when someone is praying to God with a sincere heart, even when he doesn't know His name, and believes He is Jesus, the Universe, or some other god, Jehovah knows who he is praying to. And He lets Himself be found. How else would He be able to send someone to them if he didn't hear their prayer?

@Emma Rose When I started studying with JWs, way on back in the 1960's, they said God's name was YHWH.

Then they said it translated into Jehovah. Um, YHWH = Yahweh or at best Yehowah. 

As has been discussed many times on here the letter J did not exist.  If you and others are prepared to just believe all you are told by your GB through the Watchtower magazine, that is your choice. 

Have the GB changed God's name to JHVH and if so when ? 

None of us 'earthly folk'  know the truth because we are not inspired of God's Holy Spirit. And the GB have admitted to not being inspired too. 

Whilst I can fell your sincerity coming through, and that is not sarcasm, I do not pretend to know truth from lies, about God's true name.  I now only use the words 'Heavenly Father' or 'Almighty God'  in my prayers.

It occurred to me, after speaking Jehovah's name in Hebrew out loud, just what a beautiful language it is and what a beautiful name belongs to Jehovah, in any language.

I love the sound of Hebrew, it is a beautiful language. We were just watching an Israeli film with English subtitles. 

It would be cool if we spoke Hebrew in the new world. Chinese, not so much (I apologize to the Chinese 😁, to me it just doesn't sound very attractive)

    • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
    • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
    • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
