God only has one "name"; everything else is a "title"....

"YHWH" – Hebrew letters Yud Hey Vav Hey -  יהוה  (pronounced “Yah-weh”) is His Name, the ONLY “Name” He has. The rest are all titles. The two most-common titles for God are "Adonai", which expresses authority or the exalted position of God, and "Elohim", which expresses concepts of creative divinity. Both "Adonai" and "Elohim" Are Plural Hebrew Nouns. "Adonai" is the plural form of "Adon", meaning "my lord"; and the name "Elohim" is the masculine plural form of "Eloah".

More explanation:

Several passages in Genesis reveal that YHWH provided His Name:

Genesis 4: 26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. That is when people began to call upon the name of YHWH.

Genesis 12: 8 He (Avram) left that place, went to the hill east of Beit-El and pitched his tent. With Beit-El to the west and 'Ai to the east, he built an altar there and called on the name of YHWH.
Genesis 21: 33 Avraham planted a tamarisk tree in Be'er-Sheva, and there he called on the name of YHWH, the everlasting God.

YHWH's NAME was never "God" or "ADONAI" or anything else; those were simply TITLES....

We are then told in Exodus that He provided His Name to Moses:


YHWH in Hebrew is comprised of the letters Yud-Hey-Vav-Hey: God Himself revealed His Name to us, and man has had acess to it all along. Ironically, traditional Jews refuse to utter his Name for fear of mispronouncing it or misspelling it, etc.; and on the other end of the spectrum, you'll never hear the Father's Name in most Christian churches as they are all concentrating on "Jesus" whom they think came to replace the Father and abolish all his original Divine instructions/teachings....


  1. YHWH is the name above all names but it left me wonder why most of the church today doesn't mentioned His name in their sermon or even when reading the scriptures. They always used the title alone.


    1. Good question, and because I have several things to say about this, and these blog replies don't allow much space, this will be divided into several "replies":

      Anyway, w believe it's because "the church" concentrates all their efforts on "Jesus" who seems to have more importance to them than "the Father." Never mind that they are "one" and that "Jesus" never came to replace the Father; rather He came to proclaim the Kingdom and do everything His Father commanded.








    3. Yeshua Himself said He came to do HIS FATHER's will; not His own!



      Yeshua came to proclaim the Kingdom of YHWH and to do everything His Father commanded. He tore down the fences of man's legalism. Neither He nor His Apostles ever advocated against Torah!




      [3] The Commands of YHWH bring eternal life. YHWH's "Commands" refers to all of His Commandments; these are one and the same as every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of Elohim. These are not Commands only between Y'shua and His Father but they are universal for all souls who will enter into the Malchut Elohim.


    4. Yeshua was sent by the Father NOT to do His own will, but the Father's! So many seem to think He came to replace the Father and abolish Torah....Yet He came to restore man's relationship with YHWH and remind us to totally rely on YHWH for everything.

      Many (if not most) Christians keep insisting "God is love" and that's all we need to know.A father teaches his child not to cross the road unless he has looked both ways; he did that because he LOVES the child. The child, believing that the father's love is all encompassing, doesn't bother to continue to obey what the father SAID because, hey, "Dad is LOVE!"; he just goes ahead and crosses the road without looking - and consequently gets smashed by a semi-truck. So, how did the father's LOVE save that child? It didn't! There are commands the kid should have obeyed in order to please his father and continue living with and FOR the father. Loving God includes obeying His rules because they are our ONLY blueprint for moral, holy living!
