Originally posted by duecerNo your wrong. Some may acknowledge that it is a name but most are confused as to who it really belongs to. Either God or another name that they think is Jesus's once the trinity factor gets mixed in.
virtually every Christian denomination.
But NO other religion uses it in the preaching work, schools, Bible's and does all they can to promote it.
I'm sure your familiar with the Watchtower magazine? Check out the front cover......
Plus God said he would have a people for his NAME. We call ourselves Jehovah's Witnesses.

Wake up dude🙄
Plus God said he would have a people for his NAME. yes they are called jews
all of your arguments simply point out how my original thesis is correct. You do NOT use the correct name of God. For starters, ancient Hebrew didn't have a "J" sound, secondly no one knows for sure which vowels belong in the tetragrammaton sooooooo you may in fact be worshiping a false God, be careful.....

"This, then, is how you should pray:
" 'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
11Give us today our daily bread.
12Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.[a]' 14For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Christ our model says we should pray to the Father, to Abba, to Pater

Originally posted by menace71The point here is that it has been accepted by most parts of the world as God's name as Robbie has shown. It's been in movies, literature, etc, by people other then JW's for decades and decades. So what 's the big deal when we use it? You use Jesus's name freely and no one is sure how it's supposed to be pronounced either.
We can't or don't know for sure that's the point. The Jews believed it to be too holy to utter out loud anyway. So we know the JW's do not know or have God's correct name.

At least we make a sincere effort to use it, glorify it and promote it in the ministry work.
And what better way to have a good relationship with our God then to address him by name instead of just calling him by a title.
And if it was such an offensive thing to god for us to pronounce his name wrong I think he would have surely told us by now especially if it was something that would endanger or life's.

Originally posted by galveston75Actually we know how Jesus name was/is pronounced. Also using that logic I could argue because 95% of Christendom accepts the trinity then it must be true. Or all of these nations recognize Jehovah as a name for God then it must be true.

Originally posted by menace71how do you know we do not pronounce it correctly? that is correct Manfred my son, you do not, nor could you. Same for deucers arguments, he cannot state with any certainty that we do not pronounce Gods name correctly, for he does not know how it was pronounced 🙂

Originally posted by menace71So if I were to call you MAN everytime I spoke to you instead of at least trying to say your name if I were in doubt of pronouncing it correctly, that would be ok with you? It would seem to be very impersonal. And as I said before he has not informed us it is wrong and told us a correct way, if, it is even wrong to begin with.
Yes but on the same point nor do the JW's. It's not known how it was pronounced.

I am sure God appreciates you doing all that and them mispronouncing his name at the same time (no "J" sound in ancient Hebrew)
And what better way to have a good relationship with our God then to address him by name instead of just calling him by a title.
How about Abba? How about Father? Adonnai? Lord? Jesus said when we pray we should pray the the Father (Our Father who art in Heaven....)

God is not in the habit of calling out from heaven every time one of his children does something stupid
