I
appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El-Shaddai--'God Almighty'--but
I did not reveal my name, Yahweh, to them. (Exodus 6:3)
Above
we read God of the Bible speaking to Moses and informing him, how none of the
previous Prophets of God knew his real name, that is "Yahweh". Now
this is a big claim made by God himself to one of his dear Prophet Moses. The question is could this claim really be
verified? Did the God of the Bible really speak the truth with Moses, or did he
just lead him on? Let's find out.
Now
the best way to confirm if the statement made by the God of the Bible is true, we’ll
go by the sequence order. God named three Prophets by name explicitly Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. Let's put the words of the God of the Bible to the test and
see if he spoke the truth by looking for any instances during the lives of
those three Prophets if they ever uttered or knew the name "Yahweh".
Again,
we'll go in sequence just like Yahweh used, first Abraham
Then
the LORD told him
(Abram), “I am the LORD (Yahweh
יֱהוִ֔ה) who brought you out
of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land as your possession.” But Abram
replied, “Lord GOD (Yahweh יֱהוִ֔ה), how can I know that
I will possess it?” (Genesis 15:7-8)
Pause!
Let's do a cross reference…
"I
appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El-Shaddai--'God Almighty'--but
I did not reveal my name, Yahweh, to them." (Exodus 6:3)
God
said to Moses He never revealed his name Yahweh to Abraham the first Prophets
in his statement. However, Genesis 15:7-8 reveals that the God of the Bible did
reveal his name "Yahweh" to Abraham and Abraham also called him
Yahweh in return?
"Then
the LORD told him
(Abram), “I am the LORD (Yahweh
יֱהוִ֔ה)"
verse 7
"But
Abram replied, “Lord GOD (Yahweh יֱהוִ֔ה)" verse 8
Imagine
the same God tells us he made Abraham his friend and a covenant with him. This
same God lied about his friend and Prophet. Let's move on to the next Prophet
mentioned by God, Isaac. Again, we are going by sequence and mentioned in
Exodus 6:3.
Abandoning
that one, Isaac moved on and dug another well. This time there was no dispute
over it, so Isaac named the place Rehoboth (which means "open
space"), for he said, "At last the LORD (Yahweh
יֱהוִ֔ה) has created enough
space for us to prosper in this land." (Genesis 26:22)
Interestingly,
Isaac after digging up a new well said, "the LORD (Yahweh
יֱהוִ֔ה) has created enough
space for us to prosper in this land." how did he know the name of God if
"Yahweh" never revealed it to him?
Isaac
built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD. There he pitched his
tent, and there his servants dug a well. (Genesis 26:25)
Here
Isaac called on the "NAME OF THE LORD " and what is the name of the
Lord? Exodus 3:14 & 6:3 ("but I did not reveal my name, Yahweh יֱהוִ֔ה, to them"). Thus, Isaac knew the
name of God. Again, this shows the God
of the Bible lying to his Prophet and agent Moses. Let's move on to the third
Prophet Jacob the son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham.
And
Jacob had a dream about a ladder that rested on the earth with its top reaching
up to heaven, and God’s angels were going up and down the ladder. There
above it stood the LORD, and he said: "I am the LORD (Yahweh יֱהוִ֔ה),
the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. (Genesis 28:12-13)
Once
again, the God of the Bible confirmed and revealed his real name (Yahweh יֱהוִ֔ה) to Jacob by dream. It's
absurd to claim God didn't tell Jacob his real name Yahweh, rather Jacob dreamt
it. One can refute this claim by asking how did Jacob know of the name of God
through a dream if it wasn't revealed by God himself? What are the chances of
Jacob randomly having a dream, hearing God reveal his name? would Satan reveal
the name of God to Jacob in a dream? Again, this claim is baseless and absurd.
The fact the God of the Bible revealed his name to all three
Prophets explicitly but lied to Moses says something. The question remains, was
not Moses aware that Yahweh lied to him, since he was the author of the Torah?
Why didn't Moses question God of the Bible after noticing he lied to him? It's
not lied Moses never rebuked Yahweh, according to Exodus 32:12-14, Moses made
Yahweh repent why then didn't he challenge this God by bringing up what he
said?
This
was an issue for classical rabbis, many tried reconciling the problem by
stating Moses added his own interpretation by inserting the name Yahweh. Pay
attention what what Ibn Ezra a Jewish Scholar said:
In
Parshat Vaera (Exodus 6:3) G-d says to Moshe, "I appeared to Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob as E-l Sh-ddai but by my name Ad-nay I did not make myself
known to them." The commentators ask that we do, in fact, find G-d called
Ad-nay while speaking to the forefathers (eg. Gen. 15:7, 28:13). The verse in
our parsha seems to be incorrect. Ibn Ezra quotes a R. Yeshuah (evidently a
Karaite) who suggested that the references to Ad-nay in Genesis were added in
by Moshe but were not really said at the time of the occurence. To this, Ibn
Ezra writes "R. Yeshuah did not speak correctly because how could Moshe
write this if G-d did not say it..." Rather, Ibn Ezra suggests that the
forefathers knew G-d with the name Ad-nay as a name but not as an attribute.
Other commentators offer different interpretations. But Ibn Ezra explicitly
disagrees with the suggestion that Moshe added on his own to the Torah.
Thus,
according to Ibn Ezra's commentary we can conclude there was no addition by
Moses on those passages and Yahweh did reveal his real name to Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob. One can't be judged for calling the God of the Bible
"Yahweh" an open liar and deceiver who tricked Moses into believing
something which wasn't true.

If
the name Yahweh was not known to anyone other than Moses (Exodus 6.3), how did
Eve know his name?
what's
interesting about Eve is, God spoke to her forbidding her not to eat from the
tree of knowledge. There is no mention of God disclosing his "name"
to Adam or Eve? Yet Genesis 4 Eve explicitly uses the name "Yahweh"
when addressing him?
וְהָ֣אָדָ֔ם יָדַ֖ע
אֶת־חַוָּ֣ה אִשְׁתּ֑וֹ וַתַּ֙הַר֙ וַתֵּ֣לֶד אֶת־קַ֔יִן וַתֹּ֕אמֶר קָנִ֥יתִי
אִ֖ישׁ אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃
Now the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceived
and bore Cain, saying, “I have gained a male child with the help of the
LORD.”
The Hebrew text reads
ְהוָֽה
(Yahweh) which is translated as Lord. If Yahweh was not known to anyone, how
did Eve know? And why didn’t Moses challenge Yahweh when he was being inspired
to write Genesis? Genesis would have been written after Moses was spoken to in
mount Sinai and crossed over Egypt with the Israelites. Exodus 6:3 says the
name Yahweh was not known, if that’s the case why didn't Moses say, but Genesis
says Eve knew your name? after all Moes wrote Genesis according to the Jews?
Either
Moses didn't write Genesis and was unaware of this story, or Moses did write it
but didn't read what he wrote?

According Talmud Jacob told Rachel he was a "Deceiver" like her father. This is Jacob the son of Isaac whom God made a special covenant with according to Christians
Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s kinsman, that he was Rebekah’s son; and she ran and told her father. (Genesis 29:12)
What was Rachel's discretion? As it is written (Genesis 29:12) "Jacob told Rachel that he was the brother of her father." Now, was he the brother of her father? Was he not the son of her father's sister? Rather, he said to her, "will you marry me"? She said to him, "yes, but my father is a deceiver, and you will not be able to outwit him." He said to her, "I am his brother as a deceiver." She said to him, "is it permitted to the righteous to walk in the way of deceit?" He said to her, "yes, [as it is written] (II Samuel 22:27) 'With the pure you act purely, and with the perverted you deal torturously.'" (Talmud Megillah 13b)
-----------------
Yahweh is not a name it's a statement a
pronouncement (a formal or authoritative announcement or declaration.)
The name "Yahweh" is not mentioned anywhere in the
entire New Testament. if this name was so unique why didn't Jesus his disciples
or Paul make mention of such an incredible name?
saying that, Yahweh is not a name it means "i shall be
that i shall be", does that sound like a name to you?
So the question remains to be answered, what is the name of
the God of the Bible?
Firstly, What does yahweh mean,? Secondly, how is it pronounced
without any vowels? finally where in the 27 alleged books of the NT is the
"name" yahweh uttered by your false messiah/man-god of his disciples
or anyone?
1) what does yahweh mean
2) how is it pronounced
3) where is this "name" found in the NT
let's see how much you know regarding this "supposed
name". feel free you're seek help from your hs, not that it's going to be
any help lol
let's add another to the point. Did Abraham, Isaac and Ismael
know the "name" yahweh? Hint-hint Exodus 6:3. by which name we're
they calling you're god? you're bible is a mess
Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,” says the Lord, whose name is God Almighty. (Amos 5:27)
And the LORD commissioned Joshua the son of Nun and said, “Be strong and courageous, for you shall bring the people of Israel into the land that I swore to give them. I will be with you.” (Deuteronomy 31:23) Same Aheye is used when speaking to Joshua
