    Yahweh is a pagan god’s name. His name is Yahuah

  2. @SusanKGreen-zu3xb on July 14, 2025 at 11:20 pm

    We dont day G-d’s name out loud. It is too holy. We also dont write it, except in holy books. Have some respect. אהיה actually is the future, I will be.

  3. @SrirachaMama711 on July 14, 2025 at 11:22 pm

    Yahuah, not Yahweh.

    Reminds me of the idea about our existence with the classic, " I think , therefore I AM".

    I am staying with the language I know and I really don’t speak that very well even though my great grandmother was Cherokee, in John , Jesus Christ told the Pharisees, He knew Abraham! And the Pharisees rip their clothes and they said you are not 50 years old yet and you claim to know Abraham? Jesus Christ reply’s, before Abraham I Am ! So they picked up stones to throw at Him and Jesus Christ walk threw them as they had no ideal what they was doing anymore! So basically Jesus Christ was telling them He was God , and they wanted to kill Him for saying that ! There is one group that claims to be Jews and are not! I truly believe it is the Pharisees, that is not Jewish but is the branch of Cain and most know the history of the branch of Cain and ham was part of that branch! The King James Bible really doesn’t get into personal life’s of some people in the Bible, but we can speculate that ham most likely was not Noah child ! The bad sin ham committed , most of us know in a sense , it was not Noah that he seen nakedness! And i will leave it at that , for you to know who he actually seen naked and even more !

    So yahweh is satan… got it

  7. @amsterdamG2G on July 14, 2025 at 11:27 pm

    YEHOVAH comes from the same root as Ehyeh: the hollow root HYH. Yehovah is actually a combination of three verb-forms: Hayah "he was", Hoveh "he is", and Yih’yeh "he is now and will continue to be in the future". Together Hayah, Hoveh, and Yih’yeh combine into the name YEHOVAH.

  8. @EliLeubner on July 14, 2025 at 11:30 pm

    for anyone wondering the entire name od God that he refers to himself as is "EHYEH ASHER EYHEH" which means I am that I am

  9. @EduardQualls on July 14, 2025 at 11:31 pm

    *No, it does NOT mean **_I am!_** That verb is in the Imperfective Mode, which means the verb-action referenced HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED: it is **_imperfect._** Therefore, it means, "I am becoming," or "I will be." (The imperfective mode is always either present progressive or future tense.) No Semitic language of that period had (and very few now have) a verb form meaning "I am [x]," "you are [x]," "he is [x]," etc. Such a phrase would have been formed with the personal pronoun subject, followed by the complement, as in אֲנִי יהוה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם **_Ani Adonai eloheikhem, I am the Lord your god_** (where "ani" is the subject pronoun, "I"). Again, there is NO verb form in Biblical Hebrew that means "I am."*

  10. @joelsteinhauser3609 on July 14, 2025 at 11:32 pm

    (Eyeh) אֶהְיֶה is the imperfect so would be translated "I will be". As it is in Exodus 4:15 וְאָנֹכִי אֶהְיֶה I will be (with your mouth)עִם־פִּיךָ

    That’s dope… TMH also says HIS NAME MEANS POWER!!!

  14. @netzayork613 on July 14, 2025 at 11:37 pm

    ehyeh does not mean i am, the expression, “ani ehyeh asher ehyeh” means…”i will be who i will be” that is the most correct interpretation of those 4 words.

  15. @EliLeubner on July 14, 2025 at 11:37 pm

  18. @IAMBadDadTarot on July 14, 2025 at 11:45 pm

    Now, think deeper what that actually means in Language. It’s an Affirmative Statement. Just like we use it to say "I AM cutting the grass" or "He is cutting the grass". The ONE has no name. And, El came before Yahweh. Scripture says Yahweh "is a man of war" in the Song of Moses. He also has arms, legs, a male tool and "He is" an ancient Storm and War god. Lots to love about his lust for being worshipped and his thirst for blood. Oh… He’s one time referenced as the likeness of what we would now say is a dragon.

    The word yahweh dont exist… its got written YHWH.. a name that cant be spoken!!!! Thats why they have to add letters to speak it out, so YHWH is yahweh/Yehowah

  29. @arielperetz7210 on July 14, 2025 at 11:56 pm

    אֶהְיֶה means I will be is in the future tense

  30. @dreojs27 on July 14, 2025 at 11:56 pm

    Please confirm y/n YHWH or YAHWEH. one is correct the other is incorrect.

  31. @PinkyisntReal on July 14, 2025 at 11:58 pm

    You liar. Because Jesus said he is, they called it blasphemy. Gods name is I am! That is his name. It’s personal and has everything to do with u, u idol worshipper. All happiness comes from within. What you believe about yourself in your heart is true!

    No it does not

  33. @tinamurphy3572 on July 15, 2025 at 12:03 am

    I have long wondered if this was a present perfect tense, i.e., I was, am, and will always be? Thus, loosely should be translated into English as, I am, only because in English we don’t do justice to the present perfect tense?

  34. @kingdomconcepts777 on July 15, 2025 at 12:06 am

    Why not pronounce the name according to the Hebrew vowel markings?

  35. @ARM-gy6xo on July 15, 2025 at 12:06 am

    THE WORD YAHWEH IS AN ARAMAIC WORD. IT IS NOT A HEBREW WORD!!! IT MEANS "BEAUTIFUL ONE".
    THE PERSONNEL NAME OF GOD IS YEHOVAH.
    IT IS MENTIONED OVER 6600 TIMES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. THE CHRISTIANS BANNED THE NAME AND PUT IN THE WORD "LORD" HOW SILLY!!!
    THERE IS ONE TIME NEAR THIS PASSAGE WHERE THE NAME IS GIVEN. IT IS JEHOVAH. BUT THERE IS NO LETTER J IN THE HEBREW BIBLE. IT IS PRONOUNCED WITH THE Y.
