  Name Jehovah

  by allyouneedislove in

  i have a question regarding the name "jehovah".. is yahweh an english translation of the name?

  if not, and some say that we don't know exactly how it should be translated, what about the argument the wt makes regarding "we do not know how jesus' name was originally said either".

  other bible translations translate names like "jeremiah" from their original language.

  Is this argument sound?

  *** rs p. 196 par. 3 Jehovah ***

  Most names change to some extent when transferred from one language to another. Jesus was born a Jew, and his name in Hebrew was perhaps pronounced Ye·shu'a?, but the inspired writers of the Christian Scriptures did not hesitate to use the Greek form of the name, I·e·sous'. In most other languages the pronunciation is slightly different, but we freely use the form that is common in our tongue. The same is true of other Bible names. Is the difference between transliterating (Jeremiah in Hebrew) to "Jeremiah" vs. transliterating YHWH to "Jehovah" possibly that, since the Jews did not pronounce the name YHWH for so long. that there is no way to know how it is pronounced? If so, how are we able to know how to pronounce Jeremiah (how do we know what vowels to use)? PLEASE HELP!!!

  I asked a question like this a couple months ago. I am not trying to troll. Its just that it seems that "Jehovah" or something very much like it is the best transliteration of YHWH. No Hebrew names were written with vowels, right? But, most Bible translations transliterate their names into English. By no means am I trying to defend the WT. Its just that through a number of searches online, it seems that using LORD or Yahweh in the old testament is simply not justified. And, neither is adding "Jehovah" to the NT.

  I can confirm because I was forwarded an email from a reliable JW.

  I am disappointed because I keep thinking "Will JWs ever have real truth?"

I need information on how to handle publisher cards, etc. Also, is there a way to see the letter they send the new congregation?
