Does God have a name...assuming he exists?

    If God has a name is that name Jehovah?

    Having studied the Bible for many years along with
    individuals on this discussion board, often times it
    crosses my mind whether or not God has a name.

    If so, is that name Jehovah as what we were taught
    as Jehovah's Witnesses? The name Yahweh in Hebrew
    and the Tetragrammaton YHWH, do these have any
    significance?

    Not defending the Watchtower

    The questions presented above are not in support
    of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. However,
    curiosity still grips me regarding whether or not God
    has a name...or does God even exist?

    Although, I am not sure of either of these questions
    I still will respect the name of God whether it is
    Jehovah, Yahweh or anything else, should he exist.

    Still searching for the meaning of life

    Admittedly, I am still searching and trying to
    make sense as to who, what, where, why or
    when, we as human beings were placed here
    and for what reason .

    Understandably, the Watchtower does not have
    the answers and as of present I am an agnostic
    who is very hesitant to even consider entertaining
    the thought of becoming involved with another
    religion.

    Did anyone on this discussion board ever think
    about whether or not God exists?

    Respectfully,

    If at one time you were the only entity in existence, would you require or need to have a name?

    You would simply be the "I am"

    I think that the complexity of creation indicates that God exists. He probably has a name. I also believe God is beyond human comprehension.

    God? Does it seem wise to consider a finite god of human emotions and actions found within the pages of the Bible to be responsible for an infinite universe? Why behold an unending expression of life and existence, and then accredit a small definable and nameable deity as it's Source?

    Perhaps the first step towards an answer, is to thoroughly examine and investigate who/what is seeking God.

    Know thyself.

    Wanderer... I have had the same questions myself. Also still searching for what to believe, not sure what I believe anymore and terrified of organized religion.
