I wanted to see if Cloud had articles with more of an explanation. I found a couple. Will read these along with the one Jerry posted.

I am not sure exactly what you meant by "this." The statement that "he does not endorse or agree with every statement made in these commentaries, books, etc." is accurate.
As for the name Yahweh, I do believe it is a pronunciation based on a faulty premise. But what I object to is people insisting that Jehovah is a corruption of God's true name. If anything fits that bill, it's Yahweh, not Jehovah. |

Does Brandon agree with this?

Ah.
I'm not sure I'd use the term "pagan god" since I am unaware of there being a culture in history that has worshiped a false god named "Yahweh," but if I understand Jerry correctly, he means that "Yahweh" is an invention of scholars based on false premises and is therefor a false god. I agree that the name is an invention, not a restoration, and someone who assigns the name "Yahweh" to God and then assumes others who do not do so are not worshiping God are indeed creating a pagan idol. However, I am aware many Christians, in error, believe that Yahweh is the "correct" pronunciation of YHVH. I don't think they are worshiping a pagan god, but they are in error. The proper name is as it is given in our Bible: Jehovah. |

Yes, Brandon, I realize many Christians use that name ignorantly - but because I know that is not His name historically, I refuse to use it. I think I read somewhere that it was originally the name of a pagan god, but perhaps I may have mixed something up in my research (it has been awhile), and if so, I am sorry. I agree with you that Jehovah is the name of God that we find preserved in our KJV and in the Hebrew Masoretic text.

Actually, John Hinton does cover some of the claims that Yahweh was a pagan storm god in his article above, in the section: Yahweh the Storm God.

And doing a search for Yahweh storm god on Google brings up some good hits. Worthy of further study. Seems like a lot of people are unaware of the problems with using "Yahweh." I've been reading Kerby Fannin's book While Men Slept... A Biblical and Historical Account of the New Universal Christianity and he uses "Yahweh" repeatedly, apparently ignorant of the false premise the pronunciation is based on. |

Thanks Beth for those links. I am still reading through the second article, but have been blessed by the points that have been brought up so far.
