We can see from this that Jesus received a name above the names that MEN have, here on Earth, "under heaven." The Father's own name would not be considered applicable to this fact.
Show a scripture that designates "The Father's
own name " as being YHWH
What on earth do you think the Father's name would be? Isn't His name in the Old Testament over 7,000 times? If His name is there, why would it suddenly not be used by people? It is shown clearly what Jesus' Father's name is in many places that the two are spoken of together.
Jesus claimed to be the Messiah (John 4:25,26), and he said that he fulfilled Isaiah 61:1,2 (Luke 4:18-21). The scripture in Isaiah :
As written in the Bible translation
Young's Literal Translation: "The spirit of the Lord Jehovah is on me, Because Jehovah did anoint me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent me to bind the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives liberty, And to bound ones an opening of bands. To proclaim the year of the good pleasure of Jehovah, And the day of vengeance of our
God, To comfort all mourners."
Another place is at Psalm 110, where the Young's Translation rendering is this: "The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord [the Messiah]: 'Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.'" This is accredited to Jehovah and Jesus, the Messiah, at Acts 2:34-36 and Luke 20:42-44.
If that's not clear enough, Jesus said that the Father was the "only true God," (John 17:3) so in the verses above they state God's name is Jehovah, and He is of course the Father that Jesus prayed to.
