Jesus the living Temple reveals the glory of God
I don’t know any JW, or anyone else, who thinks that Jesus “made an announcement” that God’s name is Yahweh/Jehovah. This guy says it’s an absurd idea. He’s right, it’s absurd, but who actually thinks it anyway? Pretty bizarre clip.
I have run into plenty of JWs who think the most important thing Jesus did was give us the missing vowels of the Tetragrammaton which were then removed by false religion.
I kid you not , the entire religion is a big game of wheel of fortune.
This is great, thanks for sharing. JWs DO use this scripture as a common proof text to say that Jesus commonly used the name Jehovah even though there is no record of it.
Let’s say your a contractor or small business owner in a small community. Why do you do good work or charge fair prices ? It’s cause your name is at stake. Your name represents what you are.
Jesus is called the image of god. The exact representation of the father.
Jesus saying I have made your name known or thank you for the name you have given me has more to do with this kind of thing than providing the missing vowels of the Tetragrammaton.
Jesus had no need to provide the missing vowels of the Tetragrammaton. While the many references to the name of God indicate it was still in use at that time, even if it was not we know that the High Priest would pronounce it every year on the Day of Atonement.
In addition, later writers of the Hekhalot literature, such as Greater Palaces, Lesser Palaces, Account of the Chariot, and Divine Dimensions show that even after prohibition it continued to be used in some circles.

No he's saying that (I assume) witnesses are Jesus "foot step followers" - yet always say first and foremost they come to make gods name known to people (& it is kind of the first thing you're taught).
Yet he's saying it's ridiculous because everyone knows gods name and always has done.
That's why he makes that absurd analogy...its stupid! If they purport to follow Jesus example, It's therefore stupid for witnesses to do it.
Philippians 2:9 For this very reason, God exalted him to a superior positionn and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name,o 10 so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend—of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the groundp— 11 and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lordq to the glory of God the Father. (NWT)
Even the NWT says Jesus has been given a name abover every other and we should "openly acknowledge" that Jesus is Lord.
Steel - thx for the video - I'll watch later today but I like this guy. Someone on here follows him and referenced him previously. He's quite a scholar and interesting - not that I'm a believer but doubt he'd agree with the cult on much.
