By what name do you call your God?

What name do you call your God?

[McCulloch]

When only one of a specific thing exists, we normally do not require a name for it. The sun, the sky, the earth. Christians often refer to their god as God. Strangely enough, of the three persons in the christian's trinity, only one seems to have a name, Jesus.

[Hugh]

This really caused the world chaos ... even on one particular name, humanity can't sit down together to come into consensus.

[Ryoga]

Allah! there is no god but He! To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. (Qur'an 20: 8 )

And God's alone are the attributes of perfection; invoke Him, then, by these, and stand aloof from all who distort the meaning of His attributes.
Al A'Raf 7:180, tr. Asad

Say: "Invoke God, or invoke the Most Gracious:
by whichever name you invoke Him,
He is always the One -- for His are all the attributes of perfection."
Al Isra 17:110, tr. Asad

Allah is He, other than Whom there is no other god;
Who knows both what is hidden and what can be witnessed;
He is the Most Compassionate and Merciful.
Allah is He, other than Whom there is no other god;
the Sovereign, the One, the Source of Peace,
the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Security,
the Exalted, the Compelling, the Supreme.
Glory be to God, beyond any associations.
He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Form.
To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names:
Whatever exists in heaven and earth declares His Praise and Glory.
And He is Exalted in Power, the Wise.
Al Hashr 59:22, tr. Helminski


Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'To God belongs 99 names, 100 minus 1, anyone who memorizes them will enter Paradise; He (God) is odd (odd number, he is the Only One), and He loves odd numbers (such as 99)'

[Vladd44]

Typically I call god by the name of "Air".

But for some reason people who go to buildings on sundays and listen to a man standing behind a piece of wood don't seem to think thats the right name. Perhaps it is O2 or N.

Who is the God of Israel? The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?



Christianity is in great confusion about this, a confusion also caused by bad Bible translations.

In almost all Bible translations the four lettered name of God, which appears in the OT almost 7000 times, is not written, but replaced with “the LORD”.



But here are the Biblical texts which indicate who is the God of Israel, in which the letters of the name of God are written, just like in the original Hebrew:



Nehemiah 9:7 “You are Y-H-W-H God, who chose Abram and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans and named him Abraham.”



Exodus 29:46 “They will know that I am Y-H-W-H their God, who brought them out of Egypt so that I might dwell among them. I am Y-H-W-H their God.”



Numbers 15:41 “I am Y-H-W-H your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am Y-H-W-H your God.”



Deuteronomy 10:20-21 “Fear Y-H-W-H your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your oaths in his name. He is your praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes.”



Joshua 24:18 “And Y-H-W-H drove out before us all the nations, including the Amorites, who lived in the land. We too will serve Y-H-W-H , because he is our God.”



II Samuel 22:32 “For who is God besides Y-H-W-H ? And who is the Rock except our God?”



I Chronicles 16:14 “He is Y-H-W-H our God.”



II Chronicles 13:10 “As for us, Y-H-W-H is our God, and we have not forsaken him.”

Psalm 31:14 “But I trust in you, O Y-H-W-H; I say, You are my God.”



Psalm 89:7 “For who in the skies above can compare with Y-H-W-H? Who is like Y-H-W-H among the heavenly beings?”



Psalm 91:2 “I will say of Y-H-W-H, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”



Psalm 100:3 “Know that Y-H-W-H is God. It is he who made us, and we are his.”



Psalm 105:7 “He is Y-H-W-H our God; his judgments are in all the earth.”



Psalm 118:27 “Y-H-W-H is God, and he has made his light shine upon us.”



Psalm 140:6 “O Y-H-W-H, I say to you: You are my God.”



Jesaja 25:1 “O Y-H-W-H, you are my God;”



Jesaja 41:13 “For I am Y-H-W-H your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you: Do not fear; I will help you.”



Jesaja 43:3 “For I am Y-H-W-H your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;”



Jesaja 51:15 “For I am Y-H-W-H your God, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar- Y-H-W-H Almighty is his name”



Jeremiah 3:22-23 “Yes, we will come to you, for you are Y-H-W-H our God.”



Jeremiah 10:10 “But Y-H-W-H is the true God; he is the living God, the eternal King.”



Jeremiah 31:18 “Restore me, and I will return, because you are Y-H-W-H my God.”



Habakkuk 1:12 “O Y-H-W-H, are you not from everlasting? My God, my Holy One, we will not die”







And is there, besides this God Y-H-W-H, another God?







Deuteronomy 4:35 “You were shown these things so that you might know that Y-H-W-H is God; besides him there is no other.”



Deuteronomy 4:39 “Acknowledge and take to heart this day that Y-H-W-H is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.”



II Samuel 7:22 “How great you are, O Sovereign Y-H-W-H! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.”



I Kings 8:59-60 “so that all the peoples of the earth may know that Y-H-W-H is God and that there is no other.”



I Chronicles 17:20 “"There is no one like you, O Y-H-W-H, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.”



II Chronicles 6:14 “O Y-H-W-H, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth.”



Nehemia 9:6 “You alone are Y-H-W-H.”



Isaiah 43:10 "You are my witnesses," declares Y-H-W-H, "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me.”



Isaiah 44:6 “"This is what Y-H-W-H says- Israel's King and Redeemer, Y-H-W-H Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; and apart from me there is no God.”



Isaiah 45:5-6 “I am Y-H-W-H , and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me, so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting men may know there is none besides me. I am Y-H-W-H , and there is no other.”



Isaiah 45:21-23 “Declare what is to be, present it- let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago, who declared it from the distant past? Was it not I, Y-H-W-H? And there is no God apart from me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but me. "Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.”



Joel 2:27 “Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am Y-H-W-H your God, and that there is no other;”





Exodus 20:1-3 “And God spoke all these words: "I am Y-H-W-H your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME!”





Eliyahu.



“All the nations may walk in the name of their gods; but we will walk in the name of Y-H-W-H our God for ever and ever.”

Micah 4:5

I like "Bob."

I have no name for a god as one would first have to believe one existed. Nature, however is what I view as the creator of all that exists, and it has laws, some of which we understand fairly well, and many others we are still struggling to understand.
Buddists, as someone else asked, don't worship a God, but a person who achieved a goodness in his actions towards others. Still, not a God.

[McCulloch]

Monotheists do not need a name for God. Names are required to differentiate between different instances of the same class. If there is only one, then it does not need a name.

[beankitty]

Not to revive the dead or anything, but...

Goddess, Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna
Pan, Lucifer, Earth. To name a few, that is.
