Do you/they even understand why Yahweh is used? Why the insistence that I subscribe to your use of labels?

I dont use 'Yahweh', why do people insist its the "same thing" as my words for Deity?

- i dont use yahweh
Personally found they don't; my understanding based on textual usage is:
Yah H3050 = Lord
Havah H1933 H1934 = To Be, To Become, To Make Manifest, etc
Thus Lord To Be, is a concept...
The first title was EL which simply meant God, and then it became the Lord To Be; then Yehoshua meant the Lord that Saves.
Almost every religious name for deities, has additional meaning behind its metaphoric terminology.
Unfortunately we've got to use specific labels to identify certain attributes, else we wouldn't have any reason for using language if there was no meaning being placed behind it.

Are you saying that when I write, 'YHWH', I am not identifying the attributes inferred in Scripture?
YHVH is the same, as what described above...
It is just the definition that people have got wrong, Jews seem to think Yah is just a shortened version of the name, even though we can show references of it being used as Lord.
