god 99 names in islam and complete http://www.ezsoftech.com/islamic/iqlas5.asp

unfortunately many christians does not know about their religion and speaks bad about Allah swt(Glorified and Exalted be He)

Answer 1

Allah may mean god, but the Allah has a set of laws in a book that is diametrically opposed to the God of the Bible and the Bible is the ONLY religious book that has been validated by objective science as truth. So the question is moot.

Answer 2

Yahweh is a specific name of a specific god within the Canaanite pantheon. Yahweh does not mean "Lord." The worship of Yahweh predates the Bible, the Israelites, and Judaism.



Yahweh means "he creates." It is a shortened form derived from "el dū yahwī ṣaba’ôt." That means "The god that creates armies." [el = god; yahwi = he creates; sabaot = armies]



The original religion of the Bible was polytheistic, and Yahweh was the god of war among many fellow deities. During the Babylonian Captivity, the Israelites first encountered Persian ideas of monotheism. And gradually, Yahweh became not one god of many...but the only god.



Over the centuries, Christians and Muslims and Baha'i mimicked the basic idea...albeit attaching so many contradictions and logical impossibilities to it that it became absurd.



Additional Info: El Shaddai, doesn't mean "God Almighty." Shaddai comes from the word "shadad," meaning "to destroy." So El Shaddai means "god that destroys" or "god, the destroyer."

Answer 3

Hebrew and Arab languages are sisters together,so many words have the same meaning ie;Sabbato=Sabah=Seventh day=Saturday,Shalom= Salam=Peace,Yahweh=Ya Huwah=Oh GOD,Ellohime=Elahi= Allah =The Lord Oh GOD,etc;

This is to prove that Taurat,Injeel ,and Al-Quran being revealed to the Three Mesengers of GOD in Hebrew,Aramiac and Arabic respectively came from the same GOD ,The Lord of all the worlds .

Answer 4

Well...first, you need to recognize the difference between a name and a title. For example:

- Mr. President - title

- Barack Obama - name

- President Obama - both combined



Now, in English, these things are all titles:

- God (when capitalized)

- the Lord (when "Lord" is capitalized)

- Lord (when capitalized)



So: to answer your questions:



1) Is Yahweh a name or does it means The Lord?



This is a little complicated.

- "Yahweh" is a name

- "Yahweh" does not mean "the Lord" (scholars have theorized various meanings, such as "I am what I am" and "I am he who is". In general, all of the proposed meanings include "I am".)

- However, it is a convention in English - and has been convention in other languages at least since the time of Jesus - to use the term meaning "the Lord" in place of the name "Yahweh". In the Biblical New Testament, in every single case in the original language copies of those documents, the term meaning "the Lord" is used instead of "Yahweh". This includes quotes from Jesus. When Jesus quotes an Old Testament passage that includes "Yahweh", in every single case the Bible records Jesus using "the Lord" instead of "Yahweh". Scholars know that the name "Yahweh" was considered by Jewish people too holy to speak or to write in the time of Jesus with two exceptions:

- it could be written only when copying holy documents (i.e. Old Testament documents)

- it could be spoken one day a year, by the high priest only, during a particular religious ceremony in the Jewish Temple

So - apparently Jesus and all of the New Testament authors followed that convention, one considered a religious rule by the Jewish people in the first century.





2) Elohim



"Elohim" is a Hebrew word that can have any one of several meanings. When it appears in the Bible in plural intensive form, it is most often translated "God", which by English convention means "the god", the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Scholars believe that the plural intensive form is essentially identical to what we call "the royal we" or "the plural of majesty". (For example: when Queen Elizabeth II speaks in formal situations, she uses the term "we" to refer to herself. That is considered proper grammar in that context.) However, the word "elohim" appearing in a regular plural form (not plural intensive) indicates that it has a more "common" meaning - usually, "ruler". More info:

When a word has so many different meanings, obviously context is very important in determining the exact meaning.





3) El Shaddai (Lord God Almighty)



This is a mistranslation. Although "el" means "god", scholars are quite sure that "shaddai" does not mean "almighty". Unfortunately, the meaning of "shaddai" is not certain and is disputed by scholars. It has become a convention in English (and several other languages) to translate "shaddai" as "almighty", and only because the exact meaning remains disputed is that still the most common translation.





4) Adonai means My Lord



The Hebrew word "adonai" means only "lord" - not "my lord".

Answer 5

are they going to reveal who the trolls really are in real life? I wouldnt be suprised if that show literally calls these people up and interviews them because honestly the government has ways of finding out who is who beind the computer screen and if the government can make money off of it they will find a way to reach you. thats why i never participated in trolling or anything like that.. whether or not you think you are confidential and identity is not known, the truth is thats not even close to true.

Answer 6

Jehovah was the creation of Moses to keep the 'rebellious' Israelites under his control.

Answer 7

God has many titles, such as God, Almighty, titles that mean God (Allah), etc., but one name: Jehovah or Yahweh.

Answer 8

Jehovah does not translate to "Lord" The word for "Lord" (Adonai) was substituted so the speaker would not have to say the name out loud. Jehovah/Yahweh is the tetragrammaton spoken aloud with the vowels from "Adonai" added to it. "El" in Hebrew is "God", just as "Allah" in Arabic is "God". They are both Semitic languages, so the words are similar.

Answer 9

God has one name and it's Armando. This is not too well known but it's still the truth according to religious experts.

Answer 10

Lord and Christ are titles, Yahweh and Yahshua are names.

Answer 11

In Exodus 3:13-15, God names Himself first: אהיה אשר אהיה (I AM WHO I AM), then אהיה (I AM), and finally יהוה (YHWH) and states that this is His Name forever and a memorial name to all generations.



Exodus 3:13-14:

"Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is His Name?’ what shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”



Yhvh: the proper Name of the God of Israel

Original Word: יְהֹוָה

Part of Speech: Proper Name

Transliteration: Yhvh

Phonetic Spelling: (yeh-ho-vaw')

Short Definition: LORD



As for Eloah, this term for God was clearly used for Israel’s God, the One True God. The Hebrew word 'Eloah' is quite similar to the Aramaic 'Elah', the usual name for God in Biblical Aramaic. As for the Arabic 'Allah', Arabic is descended from Aramaic; therefore, Arabs used the derivative of the Aramaic word 'Elah' as 'Allah'.



The key in the study of all biblical words is not their etymology or derivation, but their use with the ingredients of the context as the defining issues. Clearly these words are used in the Old Testament of the One True God Who revealed Himself to the nation of Israel by divine revelation in various ways through Jewish patriarchs and prophets.



In Deuteronomy 6:4, the well known passage called the Shema (from the Hebrew word meaning “to hear”), Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is One!,” the word 'One' is 'Echad', which refers to 'One' not in the absolute sense, but 'One' in the collective sense, as we see i the Godhead of Father, Son and Spirit. What Christians refer to as the concept of the Trinity begins with God's initial revelation to us in the Old Testament.



Most remarkable is the fact that the Name for God, 'Elohim', despite the -im ending common to many plural masculine nouns in Hebrew, 'Elohim' is grammatically singular, and takes a singular verb in the Hebrew Bible when referring to God. In other words, 'Elohim' is a masculine plural word using a singular verb. This has long been known as referring to the Godhead, Father, Son and Spirit in One Almighty God.
