Every bible scholar on earth knows 100% that God put his name --( YHVH(Jehovah) = the tetragramoton) in his bible in over 7000 spots because God wants it there. Thus wicked men by satans will removed Gods name to mislead and replaced it in OT( nearly 6800 spots) with GOD or LORD all capitols--quoted in NT over 200 spots where God willed his name.
Now in light of Jesus, who at the Lords prayer has clearly shown to all that his Fathers name( YHVH(Jehovah) is the #1 most important thing, followed by his Fathers kingdom and will. Thus to a true follower Gods name is #1 most important issue.
So then one must ask why is my religion using altered translations in support of satans will over Gods will on the matter of his name belonging in his bible? Would you say to mislead is the answer? Yes it is.
Here is a prime example of the misleading that it does
Joel 2:21-22--Whoever calls on the name of YHVH(Jehovah) will be saved---quoted 2 x in the NT at Acts 2:21-22--Romans 10:13--But since satan willed translations have LORD at Joel, Lord is at both spots of NT, and all who know Jesus is Lord will call on his name in error because they are being mislead. God is not called LORD in the OT by his will, his name belongs there. it is causing major confusion.
The New world translation corrected that matter, yet every religion using the altered translations condemned the NWT. Why because with that name back in it exposes all of those ones using the altered translations as false religion.
The sad fact is that they know Gods name belongs in all of those spots. So what are you going to do about being mislead?

Re: Gods name
Post #721. All authority etc is not equal. A mother has authority over her children but that her authority is not equal to the King of England's.
2. Not all that has authority is a person. The bible is authoritative in this subforum, but the bible is not a person.
3. Mentioning three entities or persons or a mixture of both in the same context does not necessarily imply equality and certainly does not impose them all being the same single entity (are John, Paul, George and Ringo all ...Ringo?)

It just mentions three individual entities, and nothing about the relationship among the three except the Son, of course, would be subservient to his Father who gave him life. The Holy Spirit is just the Holy Spirit. It doesn't make it equal to any of the other two.Capbook wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2024 7:34 amThe definite article (the) is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of the noun is known.onewithhim wrote: ↑Sun Aug 11, 2024 6:05 pm
There is no "singular name" which includes the force that is the Holy Spirit. The Father can be named and the Son can be named, but the Holy Spirit has no personal name. It's because it isn't a Person. I don't know what you mean by the Holy Spirit having "the same definite article." Please explain. Of course Jehovah uses His Holy Spirit to Comfort and Intercede and Advocate. That is what He uses His Spirit to do, among other things. That happens without the Spirit being a Person.
The union of these three names in the form of baptism proves that the Son and Holy Spirit are equal with the Father. Nothing would be more absurd or blasphemous than to unite the name of a man or a force with the name of the ever-living God in this solemn rite.
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Would it be not more absurd or blasphemous than to unite the name of a man or a force with the name of the ever-living God in this solemn rite?
