My question is, why do Christian denominations refuse to use or say God's name? God is just a title not a name, and quite impersonal. Jesus prayed on the last night of his life, lifting up his eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." 

Jesus clearly says his Father is "the only true God". As Jesus concluded his prayer, he said, "And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it..." Jesus clearly states his Father, "the only true God", has a name, and he made it known. What is Jesus' Father's name? 

God's name in the Bible is the Hebrew Tetragrammaton represented by the four consonants YHWH. It is recognized as Yahweh in Hebrew or in English, Jehovah. The only true God's name is Jehovah, and that is the name Jesus made known to the people. There is only one place translators of the Bible did not remove the name and replace it with LORD, and it is found at Psalm 83:18, where it says, "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth."--KJV 

Jesus made his Father's name known, which is Jehovah. Should we follow the example of Jesus? If we are a Christian and following Jesus' example, absolutely.

The Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail, the Shroud of Turin, and the Cross--What is the Truth about These Objects

Image
Many religious legends and fables have been concocted through the centuries. The reason was to legitimize the grand lie that became a new religion during the reign of Constantine, when Christian names were attached to pagan celebrations and beliefs. As to the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail, the Shroud of Turin, and the Cross, you will find none of these objects being physically used or spoken of in the New Testament after the original events they were involved in, and two never existed. The Ark of the Covenant disappeared before Babylon conquered Jerusalem and its temple. When the Babylonians ransacked the temple before burning it, the Ark of the Covenant was nowhere to be found. Is it possible God disposed of it to prevent it from being misused if captured or shown inappropriate idolizing? One thing is certain, Jeremiah stated its relevance would no longer be consequential with the original temple gone. It served its purpose. Jeremiah the prophet wrote the following about the Ark...

Jesus' Birth According to the Bible

Image
Jesus set the standard when it comes to worshiping God. He said, "...they that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth." This is the truth about Jesus’ birth according to the Biblical accounts of Matthew and Luke. The scriptural account in Luke tells us the shepherds were living outdoors watching over their flocks and it was nighttime. This is something they would not be doing in late December. When the winter cold began, it is a fact the shepherds brought their flocks in from the fields and would not be living outdoors, especially at night. So, Jesus' birth took place in a warmer month. More appropriately, a fall month. While the shepherds were in the fields with their flocks, angels appeared and announced Jesus’ birth to them. There is no mentioning of them seeing a star. The shepherds did not need a star to point the way. The angel told them exactly where they could find Jesus. The shepherds went to Bethlehem to see their Messiah. There was no mention of the M...

Jesus Christ is the Rock Upon Which the Church was Built

Image
Nowhere in the New Testament does it say or even imply that the Apostle Peter ever went to Rome. However, it does say that the Apostle Paul went to Rome. He was the perfect choice to do so. He was Jesus' choice. When Saul was converted and became the Apostle Paul, Jesus said this of him, "But the Lord said to him: “Go! because this man is a chosen vessel to me to bear my name to the nations as well as to kings and the sons of Israel." (Acts 9:9-19) (Romans 11:13)  Even though the Apostle Paul was born a Jew, he was also born a citizen of Rome, Peter was not. Being a citizen of Rome gave Paul certain valuable rights and immunities. One important right Paul had as a Roman citizen despite being a Jew was the ability to appeal an injustice. If certain capital offenses were involved, a citizen could request to be sent to Rome, there to stand trial before the emperor himself, which Paul took advantage of on several occasions. Thus, he fulfilled Jesus words, "to bear my nam...
