YHWH, Yahweh, Jehovah, adonai, lord, elohim, god, allah, Allah thread.

Heres something interesting i read recently: at one point the hebrews called Yahweh Ba'al as a name they borrowed it from the caanites until jezebel tried to start a cult and the yahwehists killed it off from:Page not found - i-cias.com from:http://www.jewishgates.com/file.asp?File_ID=799interesting stuff how the name of god has changed over the centuries
good site about gods many names
just thought i'd add something here

But buzz YHWH/YAHWEH/JEHOVAH are titles just the same as Allah is, God really only has names that dipict something about him, he's not named JEHOVAH like a man is named bob, they all just discriptions of the creator now you are just nitpicking, arabic christians call the christian god allah, so it is the same god well duh, the same thing would happen in a christian dominated country
you make it sound like christians have some sort of worse plight than muslims do all the names we give to the creator are discriptive, what name doesn't discribe him?
even the name "god" is a description
what is he? he is a god or the godhe has no names that arn't describing something about him, say if we named him bob that might not be true, what does the name bob discribe?
calling a guy named bob tiny would be the same thing, its a label but its not his name i hope so, but i'm wondering if you arn't being a bit one sided about this, considering

where is god saying this buz? and you know that islam doesn't consider jesus the messiah buz go read what people believe please, they consider both the NT and OT corrupt, why would you teach something that you consider a lie?
the jews did the same thing, they would kill anyone who led the people from the path they believed was the right one, they considered many christians minim for doing sothe only problem you seem to have is the fact that they don't consider jesus anything more than a prophet. god is still god.

well go learn some language history buzz, the "J" sound is a conversion of the "Y" sound in german, english is a distent relative of german, but the J sound is borrowed wow thats amazing! your blind willful ignorence about the history of the bible is just astounding, hebrew scholars both conservative and liberal, conservative christian scholars and liberal ones agree that the origins of the name jehovah is a corruption of YHWH and adonai. allah is a title, it was the title for sin, until islam took over, and they worship YHWH under the name allah
for fucks sake buz christians in those countries call god allah.i mean come on what do you want for empirical evidence? i mean come on you are dictating someone elses beliefs, the fact is that allah may have been used for a title for Sin the moon god is irrelevent nowit would be like someone saying your beliefs are invalid because at one point yahweh was storm god that people worshiped along side el, and tiamat
the fact is they don't worship the moon god, they worship the jewish and christan god
the whole allah=moon god at one point is a red herring and a weak argument thats crap and you know it! this is complete and utter BS!
do you even read the bible? why did god keep having to punish israel? oh because they would stop worshiping him and start worshiping other gods maybe?
this is rather silly don't you think?
The fact is archaeologists have found that the jews worshiped the goddess Asherah, who was the queen of heaven, wife of yahwehin fact Jeremiah condemns it
they have found jars with her image,statues, and poles used for her worship
revisionism has led to the abusurd belief that yahweh was the only god, but they worshiped ba'al and el as well
