What is his name? What is his sons name, if you can tell?

Maybe we need to think of it this way: A name would be for our benefit, not for God's. I, for one, don't think of "God" as a name, but rather a title. Sort of like "Sir", "Ma'am", "Sire", etc. A lot of people in the Christian faith, just call him "Father".

I always always taught that God's name was YHWH which translated means "I Am That I AM" in the Faiths of Abraham.

This is exactly along my line of thinking, alot more research will lead you to his true name. I use YAH simply because this name was left pretty much intact as opposed to all the other transliterations/translations. Thanks for the input.:)

yes it is! I never wanted to learn about the Most High until I left the witnesses, something about their teachings left me unfulfilled granted, you will have to sift through a lot of crap before you get to some truth. I'm just happy to finally have some interest in his word. Do you speak and read Hebrew (i am dying to learn) ?! tell me, what are your thoughts on the names?! or if you have any study material, it would be welcomed.

It is my belief that the scriptures are inspired of YAH, he authorized the writing of this book, but to each his own, if you don't believe this to be true than of course you will come to another conclusion or be doubtful, but I think that's where faith comes in.

So the Authority of the Bible comes from you.

He does have a name and he extols us to use this name repeatedly throughout scripture. He gives his name in Exodus as well as Psalms.

In your preferred scripture, but a different name in another, and no name still in other. If God exists, God is not physical. Names are given or taken, but a puff of air in the physical world on planet Earth is not, and cannot, represent something that is infinitely larger and extensive than the whole universe. Not even the radioactive blast from a quasar is big enough to name such a God.

That's how language works. We make words to represent the ideas and concepts.

I have a name, given by my parents, but would I have been any other person throughout my life if they had chosen another name at my birth? I don't think so. A name is just a reference. A pointer.

If God is a person and can communicate with us, he can take on many names, or no name, whatever he/she/it wants.

I always always taught that God's name was YHWH which translated means "I Am That I AM" in the Faiths of Abraham.

It's like the "This".

I see "I AM" as one way of representing the whole reality, existence, world, life, consciousness, universe, etc. All in one. It is. We are. This is this. We are referencing itself and ourselves and that is God.

:no:

where in my quote did you see me type and/or say this? Bottom Line: I believe the bible to be the inspired word of YAH. YAH is the ultimate authority, I believe the bible to be his word, I'm not saying that anyone else has to believe as I do, just giving my POV is all

maybe not, but as you said in "my preferred scripture" his name is given and I choose to call him by the name given in scripture. The name given there was given by YAH himself.

Sure you do by your belief. Without your belief the Bible has no authority over you.

That's the funny thing. The highest authority in any person's life is him/herself. God, Bible, whatever can't have authority any more than what a person allows it to. So who is the real God in anyone's life in any given moment? The ego.

Then I will humbly accept that authority. I have lived long enough without the Most High in my life, made more than my fair share of bad decisions and stupid mistakes.The most high has proven his power in my life repeatedly ( whether or not I realized it at the time). Let's just say I owe him, and therefore can not turn my back on him.;)

But that simple truth scares the heck out of many folks. It's why prophets and scriptures exist. We are not responsible for truth and morality. No, God is responsible. Just look at His words or listen to His prophet.

So we have vicious fights over which prophet is true. It's a curious state of affairs, mindwise, if anyone asks me.
