Names of God
Source: Etymonline.com
YHWH (Yahweh)
Yahweh 1869, hypothetical reconstruction of the tetragrammaton YHWH (see Jehovah), based on the assumption that the tetragrammaton is the imperfective of Hebrew verb hawah, earlier form of hayah “was,” in the sense of “the one who is, the existing.”
Jehovah
1530, Tyndale’s transliteration of Hebrew Tetragrammaton YHWH using vowel points of Adhonai “my lord” (see Yahweh). Used for YHWH (the full name being too sacred for utterance) in four places in the Old Testament in the KJV where the usual translation the lord would have been inconvenient; taken as the principal and personal name of God.
The vowel substitution was originally made by the Masoretes as a direction to substitute Adhonai for “the ineffable name.” European students of Hebrew took this literally, which yielded Latin JeHoVa (first attested in writings of Galatinus, confessor to Leo X, 1516).
Elohim
a name of God in the Bible, c. 1600, from Hebrew, plural (of majesty?) of Eloh “God” (cognate with Allah), a word of unknown etymology, perhaps an augmentation of El “God,” also of unknown origin. Generally taken as singular, the use of this word instead of Yahveh is taken by biblical scholars as an important clue to authorship in the Old Testament, hence Elohist (1830; Elohistic is from 1841), title of the supposed writer of passages of the Pentateuch where the word is used.
Allah
Allah Arabic name for the Supreme Being, 1702, Alha, from Arabic Allah, contraction of al-Ilah, literally “the God,” from al “the” + Ilah “God,” which is cognate with Aramaic elah, Hebrew eloah (see Elohim).
Historical Facts
Below are a few facts about God
- A 2016 Gallup poll revealed that 89% of Americans believe in God.[1]
- Even though Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are vastly different, they worship the same historical deity: the God of Abraham.[2]
- For the most part, philosophers in the West and East thought there were truths about whether there is a God, the soul, an afterlife, that which is sacred (whether these are known or understood by any human being or not).[3]
- There are various arguments that are advanced to motivate religious belief. One of the most interesting and popular is a wager argument often associated with French philosopher Blaise Pascal (1623–1662). It is designed to offer practical reasons to cultivate a belief in God. Imagine that you are unsure whether there is or is not a God. You have it within your power to live on either assumption and perhaps, through various practices, to get yourself to believe one or the other. There would be good consequences of believing in God even if your belief were false, and if the belief were true you would receive even greater good. There would also be good consequences of believing that there is no God, but in this case the consequences would not alter if you were correct. If, however, you believe that there is no God and you are wrong, then you would risk losing the many goods which follow from the belief that God exists and from actual Divine existence. On this basis, it may seem reasonable to believe there is a God.[4]
- “Pantheism” is the belief that god and nature are one and the same thing, or that god is present in all aspects of the natural world.[5]
- The Nicene Creed states that there is one God, “the Father Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth, of all things visible and invisible.”[6]
- Christian doctrine holds that God literally became a man in the person of Jesus Christ, an incarnation of the Divine into the created world.[7]
- Greek philosopher, Xenophanes of Colophon espoused a belief that “God is one, supreme among gods and men, and not like mortals in body or in mind.[8]
