•If you had Christian friends whose native tongue is Arabic or Moslem friends they might help you overcome the stumbling block.There is only one God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The nonChristian religious traditions of Jews, Samaritans, and Moslems profess to adore and worship the one and only God who revealed himself to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Let's make this real simple....

Is Jehovah the same in the OT and NT?

Yes or no are the only two options.

The word “god” is generic. Other languages use different words as do other religions. When Moses asked God to tell him His name so he could say who had sent him, God told Moses that His name is “I am”. He said that Moses should tell the Jews that the I AM (the self-existent one) was who God was/is. The proper name of the only true God is represented by the tetragramaton JHWH. “Jehovah” is the Latinization of that proper name.

It reaches the meme definition of "insanity"

[af_vet_1981]

Your question uses an incorrect transliteration of the name of God. The Tetragrammaton would be more correctly written in English as YHWH. There is no 'J' in Hebrew, although there is in standard Arabic. I find the use of a letter whose sound is found in Arabic and not Hebrew rather ironic given the protestations to this point. The word you write for the name of God only appears seven times in the KJV Old Testament, even though YHWH is found 6807 times in the Hebrew Bible. It has disappeared from versions like the RSV, NKJV, NIV, NASB, and ESV. The word for the name YHWH is not found in the New Testament. I will correct your question and answer it for you.

Is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob the same in the OT and NT ?

My problem with the way you phrase the question is it’s as if we can change who God is by what we believe.

God does not change; the God who said to Moses in Exodus 3:14, “I AM who I AM,” is the same God who said to the Jews in John 8:58, “before Abraham came to be, I AM.”

Jews, Christians, and Moslems all believe in the same God of Moses and Isaac and Jacob. The difference is in who we believe God is.

Jews believe that God has not yet sent the Messiah.

Christians believe that the Messiah has come in the person of Jesus, and with the Father and Holy Spirit form the trinity.

Moslems believe that God revealed himself through the prophet Mohammad.

It is the same God; what we believe is not the same.
