Did You Know that the Name Yahweh Is Never Once Mentioned in the New Testament?
By Author Eli Kittim
Jesus never once translated the Old Testament (OT) name of God as Yahweh, nor did the rest of the New Testament (NT) writers. They always translated it as "Lord" (Gk. kurios). This has profound theological implications. It means that Jesus is the "LORD" to whom our worship should be exclusively directed! And that represents the essential revelation of the NT, namely, that Jesus Christ is Lord!
Accordingly, those who still claim that God's name is "Yahweh" or "Jehovah" (a Latinization of the Hebrew YHWH) are in error. That's the whole point of the NT, namely, the revelation of God in Jesus Christ! After all, salvation in Christianity is based on invoking the name of Jesus, not Yahweh. In John 14.6, Jesus declares:
I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Acts 4.12 says categorically and unequivocally:
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.
We should of course accept the OT as an inspired book, and, yes, Jesus is considered to be Yahweh, the Great I Am of the OT, according to the NT writers. But the NT represents a new revelation about God and his name.
For example, in the NT, Jesus is never called by a Hebrew name, such as yeshua hamashiach. Rather, he is known by his Greek name: Iésous Christos. Keep in mind that the original NT was not written in Hebrew but in Greek!
In contrast to modern preachers----who often use the words Yahweh and Yeshua to refer to God and to Jesus in order to give the NT a Hebrew flavor----the NT writers wrote exclusively in Greek and always referred to God as Lord, and to Jesus as Iésous. These Biblical facts speak volumes about the unique message of the Greek NT and the Greek name of the Lord Jesus! Therefore, we must put a stop to all this nonsense about the Hebraization of Greek names in the NT!

So normally, I don't talk about this stuff on my blog, but I just want to say I'm a follower of Jesus and his name his Jehovah. (He has many names, but I call him Jehovah)
I learn about Jehovah through Jehovah witnesses but I just want to say Jehovah is the only one I follow, I don't follow a religion just Jehovah. You can call me a Christian but that's a religion to me I don't follow the church (is what I mean) I just follow Jehovah.
Now I just want to say that just because I follow Jehovah doesn't mean I'm going to judge you for you're life style or anything mean and negative, now if you ask me a certain question about love and the same sex r/ship I will say this. I used to be bisexual and then a demisexual but then I found out I like men, but I don't have sex unless I love him.
So to me. From my experiences same sex relationships are not healthy but in the Bible GOD says it's not okay.
Now, this is where I want to say if you are gay, bi, and others, I'm not going to judge you for it or anything like that. My blog is a safe place for those, but I will say GOD doesn't agree with it, but he says love the sinner, not the sin.
Therefore, you are safe on the blog. You will not be judged by me. However, if you judge me because I'm a follower of Jesus and you just start spilling hating from left and right, then you are not welcomed on my blog.
I do not have to agree with you on your views, we can have debates (if you wish) but I have a faith.
I know I may lose some friends for being a follower of Jehovah, but you know what it's not like. I'm shoving it down your throat. I'm not hateful towards you or your way of life, I just don't like sin.
I do not hate the sinner. Why? Because I'm a sinner myself, I ask forgiveness every day or talk to Jehovah, whether it's through anger or just talking to him.
I have no right to judge another person (which is why I dont).
P.s. I might start sharing some Bible verses here and there, and some key points I think are important due to the Bible verses that I share.
I just wanted to take a minute to ask you all to surrender to Jesus. I’m not trying to be pushy, but I believe I’m called to invite you to heaven. We have all messed up and done bad things, and that keeps us from God. He is loving, but he is also just, and must punish sin. But,He loves you so much that would gave his life for you on the cross and make a way for you to be forgiven All you have to do is believe and trust in his sacrifice to save you from your sin. He will transform your life and make it more abundant and free. Also, Jesus is coming back one day, and we don’t know when. I believe that all believers will be taken to heaven in an event called the rapture. Then, God will judge humanity and trust me, you don’t want to be here for it. Seven years of pure hell on earth. Famine, war, diseases, and to top it off, an oppressive one world order that makes you comply or die. Also, you never know when you could die, your next breath isn’t promised. And, trust me, actual hell is even worse. A whole eternity of pure torture and separation from God. I don’t want you to have to go there, God doesn’t want you to go there, so much so that he made a way of salvation So please, trust Jesus today if you haven’t already and make him Lord of your life
