Did Christ or the Apostles Use the Name YAHWEH? - Ernest L Martin - November-December 1972

Ernest L Martin

In this most revealing article, the Chairman of the Department of Theology at our Pasadena campus presents proof positive - by the example of Jesus and the apostles - that the USE and PRONUNCIATION of the Hebrew name YHWH is unimportant and unnecessary today. It IS supposed in some circles that Yahweh - or perhaps Yahvah - should be the principal name by which we address God. While it will be admitted on all hands that God is jealous over His name (especially its significance), one might wonder if that "jealousy" extends to the exclusive use and pronunciation of YHWH. For all of us who wish to live as God's children, we have a divine arbiter who can settle all such matters for us - our Savior. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
