(Romans 10:2-4) For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to accurate knowledge. 3 For because of not knowing the righteousness of God but seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.

"Just because you can produce all these names does not mean you use the name of Jehovah or recognize his kingdom being ruled by his son Jesus."
Sounds as though you are accusing me of something. Like maybe I don't believe what God's Word says? I know who Jesus is. I know Jesus Christ will rule the Kingdom, which encompasses the whole of creation.
What I don't understand is why JW's have such a predilection for a vocalization of the Tetragrammaton YHWH, (Jehovah).
I never called my father by his first name when talking to him. Is that what you do when you talk to God the Father? Like God was your pal or your pet dog?
Galatians 4:6
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Originally posted by josephw"Walking in God’s name involves at least three things. First, we must proclaim that name to others, recognizing that only those who ‘call on the name of Jehovah will be saved.’ (Rom. 10:13) Second, we need to reflect Jehovah’s qualities, especially his love. And third, we walk in God’s name when we joyfully submit to his righteous standards, lest we bring reproach on our Father’s holy name. (1 John 4:8; 5:3) Are you determined to “walk in the name of Jehovah our God to time indefinite”? We have willingly come to know Jehovah. We are proud to bear his name and to be his obedient name people. Hence, we look to the future with confidence in the promise recorded at Psalm 9:10: “Those knowing your name will trust in you, for you will certainly not leave those looking for you, O Jehovah.” w13 3/15 5:16-18" ES book 2014

Originally posted by Shallow BlueStrange that the name appears in the King James version of the Bible written about 500 years ago, were these translators also 'millennial cultists'? The fact of the matter is that you have no way of knowing how the tetragrammaton was pronounced and your insistence that it be pronounced Jahweh is simply nonsense. Equally ludicrous is your use of the term adonai, which is not even the tetragrammaton nor a name. Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about and would be well advised to join the ranks of other opinionated balloon heads who also espouse the most grandiose of assertions without the slightest substantiation.
"Jehovah" is not God's name. It is an abortion only used by millennial cultists. Use either Jahweh or Adonai; or in English, God or the Lord. Don't call him "Gord" or "Lod", as you are doing in using "Jehovah".
