Hmmm... Well I suppose any guess is as good as another. How about this...The Israelites were using the word Jehovah in a way that was not used as the name of God ? (A couple of OT mountains bore that name.) Like finding out that "Iowa" was God's name ? Iowa has been used for a long time t...

Do you have a point to make in this thread ? Or some question ? Still just considering the options as to why the Hebrew shows Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and others utilizing the Name before it was revealed in Exodus 6:3. At best, I have an hypothesis or two. But, nothing that's provable. Probably someth...

My grandpa James wasn't called or known as "grandpa" until his kids had kids. In our family, "grandpa" and "James" mean the same thing. Things change overtime. Right. And, Cassius Clay wasn't known as Muhammad Ali until later in his life. His parents never called him t...

If God said it, why argue the validity of it ? Just trying to understand the meaning of the statement that He wasn't known to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, by His Name ("JEHOVAH"), even though Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are portrayed by Moses as having utilized that Name (rendered "LORD&...

If the Jews didn't know the name Jehovah, before God said they would, I can't argue with God. What Jews? No one was called a Jew in Genesis or Exodus? Don't get too nit-picky now. Though all Jews are Israelites, not all Israelites are Jews. Mea culpa... No Israelites were Jews before 2nd Kings 16:6...

Could it be possible, that the "them" of your citing were the Egyptians Moses was to speak to ? They wouldn't be privy to that name, prior to it's use by Moses. I don't think that works, given that the word "them" refers to Israel in the same passage. I think changing who "...

Exodus 6:1-3 King James Version (Quotation marks added for clarity and study) Then the L ORD said unto Moses, "Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land." And God spake unto Moses, ...

Mark 16:16 King James Version He that BELIEVETH and is BAPTIZED shall be SAVED ; but he that believeth not shall be damned." Ever notice that it's often taught differently than what Jesus said, here? The usual teaching is "He that believeth and is saved, shall be water baptized..." J...
