IF GOD HAS A NAME....
-
WHAT WOULD IT BE...?
-
god is not a name?
-
I think God sounds pretty nice by itself...
Or would you presume God is a title, like Mr?
So we'll go "Hello God ____ "
It doesn't sound right...
-
YAHWEH
-
.. and would you call it to his face?

Jesus Christ
El Shaddai
Adonai
Elohim
Jehovah Tsikenu
Jehovah Shalom
Jehovah Rapha

What If God Was One Of Us Lyrics
Artist(Band):Joan Osborne
If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with him
In all his glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?
*And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
If God had a face what would it look like?
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that
you would have to believe
in things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints
and all the prophets (*)
Trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome(*)
Just trying to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome -

God does have name and His name is above all names. but He also has titles which very often by looking at these titles we can understand more about the character and nature of God. Some names is given to God by humans but God also reveal His personal name to His people as seen in the scriptures.
the name He gave to Moses is "I am who I AM"
which translated into hebrew sounds like YHWH. but in the past...it is forbidden to utter these words because the Jews feel tt by uttering the name of God from the mouth of sinners is something not to be done. so the name of God is most often ommitted and used only under special circumstances where due respect and homage is given. Because hebrew langauage has no vowels, when english speaking ppl wanna read YHWH, they had hard time doin so.....in the end, they added A and E to the letters and it becomes YAHWEH.
In most modern Bibles, we wont get to see YAHWEH in the scriptures becasue this name of God has been edited to 'LORD' (all in captitals) and can be distinguished from Lord. which very often refers to the Lord Jesus Christ. -

Just an insight from a website which I did a random search on ..
Take the below with a pinch of salt .. do examine and authenticate
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
Jesus settled it for us as to the name of God in Hebrew and Aramaic:
Matthew 27:45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
We see here two witnesses to the fact that the name of God is El.
Verse 46. Eli, Eli, etc. This language is not pure Hebrew, nor Syriac, but a mixture of both, called commonly Syro-Chaldaic. This was probably the language which he commonly spoke. The words are taken from Psalm 22:1. (Barnes notes)
Jesus was speaking a combined use of Aramaic and Syriac, which is the alleged foundation of the Aramaic from Chaldea where the present day Baith Catholic Church is located, in Syria and in Iraq. Jesus used the Hebrew name for God, El, and he added the possessive suffix, i. Thus, Eli, or "My God."
This also implies that Jesus never used the Aramaic name for God because it may have already been corrupted. In this book I have shown that the name of Allah derived from pagan forms staring at the Tower of Babel. This tower, and Sumer where the gods IL and ILAH evolved, were just up the road from Israel. So some primitive Allah form may have already been in use in Jesus' day. He rejected it and used the name EL or ELOHIM for the God of the Bible.
...
The present Aramaic text, and probably many forms of the evolving Peshi-tta after Muhammed's day, DO use the name Allah for God in various ways. Here is the list of close ones anyway:
AaLaH
AaLaHaA
AaLaHeA
AaLaHeH
AaLaHHuON
AaLaHY
AaLaHaK
AaLaHaN
B'aALaHaA (This lets Baal into God's name. This is a polution from Babylon where the Nestorians lived.)
B'D,aALaHaA
D'aALaHaA
D'aALaHeA
D'aALaHeH
D'aALaHHuON
D'aALaHY
D'aALaHaN
D'B,aALaHaA
AaLaH (Not used of the God of the Bible in the Aramaic)
AiYL (This is a pure pagan form based on Illah of Babylon)
LaALaHaN
And, 46 more variations
You can see that the Aramaic names of God in their alleged Bible never once made any effort to use El or Elohim, as Jesus did.
So, we see the post-Islamic pollution of the later era Aramaic and Peshi-tta were polluted by Muhahhed's god, Allah, whom Muhammed salvaged from the Kaaba when he evicted the other 365 pagan gods stored there before 650AD.

Do take the above with a pinch of salt ..
Hope it helps to answer why the name "allah" was never used, and this aramic form was never preached, in our pulpit today!
God bless u guys! -
shrugs. when moses asked for God's identity.. God merely said "I AM WHO I AM"
when Jesus was asked of His idenity. He too said "I AM"
all these jehovah watever.. its just the people giving a tagname for God for His personality.
describing His providence, His protection, His healing and whatsoever
i think God is too complicated to be given a name lol. -
