The Lord or [Jehovah]?
From 2001 Translation
Although
there are no existing ancient Bible (Greek Scripture) manuscripts that contain
the full name Jehovah, there are four
reasons why we (and certain other Bible scholars and translators) believe that
it existed in the original text. They are:
1. The
Name is found iin many of the Hebrew Scripture texts
that are quoted by Jesus and his disciples (but it isn’t found in the existing
Greek texts now)
2. Jesus
mentioned Godd’s having a Name in ‘The Lord’s
Prayer,’ and at John
3. The
Name still appeears in a combined form in Revelation
where the word hallelujah is used (hallel is Hebrew
for ‘praise,’ and Jah is a shortened form of the name
Jehovah)
4. The
fact that Chrisstians who lived in Jerusalem were
still worshiping at the Temple of Jehovah late in Paul’s ministry proves that
they still viewed Jehovah as their God (see Acts 21: 21:20
20-26)
In
view of the fact that there is no evidence that early Christians ever used the
name Jehovah, one might wonder why these translators have taken the unusual
position of adopting it. Well, if you believe that there are two in the Bible
who are spoken of as ‘the Lord’ – ho Theos (the God) and tas Christos (God’s Chosen or Anointed One)
(see also Psalm 110:1, 2) Mt 5:35 Lu 20:43 Ac 2:35 Heb 1:13
110:1
The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at My right hand Until I make Your enemies a footstool * for Your feet."
110:2 – it seems inconceivable
that Bible writers would have left them without any differentiation. So, to
help readers understand when each is being spoken of, we have elected to
substitute [in brackets] the name Jehovah where ‘the Lord’ appears to be
referring to God. Of course, no such change would be required if one accepts
the Trinity doctrine (see the attached link ‘Who Was Jesus?’).
Some
have objected to using the name Jehovah, saying that would have been
offensive—and might have even resulted in stoning—if Jesus and his disciples
had spoken it. Yet, the Name had to be used when preaching to the gentiles, or
they simply wouldn’t have understood which God Jesus’ disciples were talking
about (remember, they were polytheistic). And to have two separate individuals
called ‘the Lord’ would have been very confusing to everyone that Jesus’
disciples preached to, both Jews and Gentiles. So, we question whether such use
of God’s name was considered as offensive prior to
The
reason why the name was removed from later copies of the Hebrew Scriptures was
because Jewish Scribes had become so awed with God’s name that they refused to
write it or say it, so, they started substituting the term ‘the Lord’ (the
Master) wherever His name was found. And since all existing versions of the
Septuagint come from the second century or later, it isn’t surprising that
God’s Name has been omitted from such modern texts. The fact that the name
Jehovah was once there is well substantiated from ancient Bible manuscripts,
both Hebrew and Greek. In fact, a verse in the Jewish Talmud claims that Jesus
received his miraculous powers because he had sewn the Holy Name (Jehovah) into
his skin, which indicates both their (his enemy’s) recognition of Jesus’
miraculous powers and the common view of God’s name.
What
about the Greek Scriptures? Recognize the fact that most early Christian
Congregations (especially the one in
That
the Name Jehovah (which means, He who
Causes to Be, or, The Creator)
was originally in the Bible, is documented in all
ancient Hebrew texts. And it appears that the Septuagint translation that was
available to Jesus and his Apostles, carried that Name, but in the four Hebrew
characters, YHWH.
In
the Hebrew Scripture portion of this Bible, there is one Chapter in Genesis
(Chapter Eighteen) where we have deviated from the rule of substituting the
name [Jehovah] where it is found in ancient Hebrew texts. This is where Abraham
was talking to three ‘men,’ one of whom he referred to as Lord in the Greek
Septuagint. In this instance, Abraham was obviously speaking to a messenger
from Jehovah (possibly Michael), because, as God told Moses, ‘No man can see
God and live.’ So, in these instances we have left the term ‘Lord’ unchanged.
Perhaps
Christians would more deeply appreciate the need to use the name Jehovah,
rather than the title ‘Lord,’ when referring to God, if they understood that
the term ‘the Lord’ in the language of the Canaanites was ‘Baal.’ And the same
term in modern-day Arabic is ‘Allah

Plato taught that God has no name (Timaios
28b,c). Philo, the Gnostics, Justin Martyr, and
Clement of Alexandria likewise considered God nameless or unnameable.
However, Jerome, translator of the Latin Vulgate, wrote in his Prologus Galeatus: "And we
find the name of God, the Tetragram, in certain Greek
volumes even to this day expressed in ancient letters." Due to the fact
that these Hebrew letters were consonants, and there were originally no written
characters for the vowels, it is held that the pronunciation of God's name is
lost to us. Or it is thought God's name should be pronounced "Yahweh"
due to the weight attached to the evidence of the Egyptian Elephantine Papyri.
Gerard Gertoux in quite convincing fashion
demonstrates the inaccuracy of these concepts in the light of compelling
linguistic and historical evidence. Gertoux asks
(p.114), "Was there really a prohibition on
pronouncing the Tetragram in the first century? The
answer is no, as, according to the Talmud this prohibition appeared from the
middle of the second century." Gertoux readily
exposes a solidly entrenched factoid (p.3): "that Jehovah is a barbarism
originating from a wrong reading. As unbelievable as it may seem, this last
affirmation is known to be false among scholars. This crude error has been
denounced by Hebraists of all confessions, and with the support of the
