Yahweh ~ The Self-Existent One
The name Jehovah is used some 6,800 times in the Bible. It is the
personal covenant name of Israel's God. In the King James version of the Bible,
it's translated Lord God. Not only does it speak of God's strength, but also it
speaks of the sovereignty of God and the goodness of God. The root of this name
means "self-existing," one who never came into being, and one who
always will be. When Moses asked God, "Who shall I tell Pharaoh has sent
me?" God said, "I AM THAT I AM." Jehovah or Yahweh is the most
intensely sacred name to Jewish scribes and many will not even pronounce the
name. When possible, they use another name.

RULES OF THE ROAD:
1)The Names and Titles of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior will be respected at all times.
2) Discussion is encouraged, however, respect for other people and their opinions is the rule---play nice.
3) No profanity, allusions, innuendos or just plain nastiness will be tolerated. Decency WILL prevail.
This is MY house and YOU are a guest here and differences of opinion will be tolerated as long as you conduct yourself accordingly. If "the exercise of civility is beyond your ability" or you were never taught by your parents, feel free to take your toys and go home and vent your pent-up anger elsewhere.
