    Thank you Oseas, that was helpful to me & I did pursue research into what you shared. I first looked at the Complete Jewish Bible & then the Tanakh, and read Isaiah 12:1,2 as follows:

    1. On that day you will say: "I thank you, ADONAI, because, although you were angry at me, your anger is now turned away; and you are comforting me.

    2. See! God is my salvation. I am confident and unafraid; for Yah ADONAI is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation! (These verses are a little different to what you've given from the CJB & I wasn't able to easily find online a CJB that read exactly as yours).

    Then in the Tanakh, Isaiah 12:1,2 reads:

    1. And you shall say on that day, "I will thank You, O Lord, for You were wroth with me; may Your wrath turn away and may You comfort me.

    2. Here is the God of my salvation, I shall trust and not fear; for the strength and praise of the Eternal the Lord was my salvation. (So in the Tanakh as well, even though the wording is different, you are correct, Yahweh is not given).

    Now let's look at another example: Exodus 6:2,3 (KJV):

    2. And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:

    3. And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

    In the CJB:

    2. God spoke to Moshe; he said to him, "I am ADONAI.

    3. I appeared to Avraham, Yitz'chak and Ya'akov as El Shaddai, although I did not make myself known to them by my name, Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh [ADONAI].

    And in the Tanakh:

    2. God spoke to Moses, and He said to him, "I am the Lord.

    3. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob with [the name] Almighty God, but [with] My name YHWH, I did not become known to them. (you may want to re-check these against your readings).

    Dear Chris, thank you for your kind replay.

    This discussion started for myself when Adam quoted Isaiah 12:1-2, and appeared the pseudo name of Jehovah, which was inadvertently added into the translation from the original source.

    Comparing what Adam quoted from Isaiah 12:1-2 in the translations of Scriptures, with the Complete Jewish Bible, here's the difference:

    Adam quoted: Is.12:1-2:

    1- And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

    2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

    From Complete Jewish Bible-Is.12:1-2: (Comparison-see the difference)

    1And you shall say on that day,"I will thank You,O Lord,for You were wroth with me;may Your wrath turn away and may You comfort me.

    2Here is the GOD of my salvation,"I shall trust and not fear;for the strength and praise of the Eternal the Lord was my salvation."

    So, Isaiah didn't cited the name of Devil when he preached the message to the people of Israel.Isaiah had the Spirit of Christ, understand?He was a messianic prophet,you know of this.By the way,JESUS still was in the bosom of the Father- John 1:18

    You said I should supply my references that you may research this too,I agree,but I did not still do this because the site doesn't accept to post links.My assertions were based from a source called chabad,try to find it: It's Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible, Ketuvin(Scriptures).

    As you said, it certainly is a serious matter if both Jews and Christians(then and now)are reading corrupt copies of the original.

    Between both Scriptures above quoted,which of them is approved by the Holy Spirit?Only one is true,and approved by the Spirit of Truth.In my vision is the original source,but I'm referring strictly to this portion of Scriptures- Isaiah 12:1-2.

    Therefore with joy shall we draw water out of the wells of salvation.

    Adam

    I repeated the original evidence because there is not greater EVIDENCE than the everlasting Word of GOD, is there? The Word is GOD, the invisible, the Omnipotent, and Omniscient and Omnipresent GOD, for me it is He Who is "the Strong's identifier". The Word is self-executing / executable because the Word is GOD, understand? Psalm 33:9 - He -the Word- spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.

    Yes,I stated that the added name Jehovah(a demonic name of Satan)is not in the original Scriptures as being GOD,Father of my Lord JESUS, but as Lucifer,the son of perdition,father of the Jews as said my Lord JESUS- John 8:44-,transfigured as God- Isaiah 14 combined with 2Thes.2:2-3 among other biblical references, and no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2Corinthians 11:14. Be careful, for Satan is wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that can be hidden from him, understand? How can the believers fight against the devilish traps and strategies of the Devil if are not knowing so well the depths of Satan?

    You said that If I think there's holes,how am I believe and trust the rest of it and where I draw the line,so I must say that the

    limit of the line is in Genesis 2:16-17 and 3:1 combined with Matthew 16:23.Take a look.By the way,his throat is an open sepulchre

    You said that I'm using a different translation, and asked so how I know its more accurate and not less accurate.Well,well, I used and am using the same source you used to quote Isaiah 12:1-2,right? Tell me:What Scripture is more accurate?The original Hebrew Scriptures,or the copies of the Hebrew Scriptures that were transcribed in a lot and different translations?

    Furthermore, answer your question if I have any more evidence, so let me ask: Is there evidence more truer than the true Word of GOD? The evidence is the Word of GOD. The testimony of GOD is greater.

    As you know,the Word of GOD is from everlasting to everlasting,the Word is GOD

    Adam

    As you know, the Bible is about two Covenants- The OT and NT.

    What we are commenting is about the OT, not about the NT, for there is not that NAME or nickname in the NT. Remember: You quoted Isaiah 12:1-2.

    Isaiah 16:-1-2 in the OT -Nevin'im(Prophets) Yeshayahu(Isaiah) is written as follow:

    1 And you shall say on that day, I will thank You, O Lord, for You were wroth with me, may Your wrath turn away and may You comfort me.

    2 Here is the God of my salvation, I shall trust and not fear; for the strength and praise of the Eternal the Lord was my salvation.

    In fact that name was added in the translations inadvertently, but the name you have mentioned it is not the only fictitious name or nickname added in the OT (not added in the Bible as a whole-OT&NT), there are several others: I have listed YHWH, Yahweh, Yehovah,Elohim, Adonai, HaShem, Yahusha, YEHshia, Jehovah, YEHvah, these names are not NAMES of GOD, quite the opposite, all these names listed are strictly the names of the father of the Jews- John 8:44 combined with Revelation 12:3-4.

    JESUS in His prayer to the Father, said: John 17:6 - I have manifested thy NAME unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: ... -->What's NAME?)

    Greetings Adam

    Good question. We are face to a deep and terrible puzzle/enigma. The most important is the Truth. GOD is Truth. The Word is GOD. The Word is from everlasting to everlasting. The GOD's people needs to investigate and seek Truth.

    Replying to your question, I must say that NAME does not exist in the original Hebrew Scripture, it was simply added.

    Remember, JESUS said: Re.22:18 -> I testify unto every man that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, GOD shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.

    What matters and prevails is the pure Word of GOD. Isaiah 12:3KJV says: Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. (Jo.7:38-> He that believes on me, as the Scripture has said,out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Compare with John 5:37-47)

    4 And in that Day (in this current Day, the seventh and last Day) shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.(This will LITERALLY be fulfilled: Revelation 7:1-8. 144K)

    5 Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. -> ( Revelation 11:15-18, among other biblical references.Take a look)

    6 Cry out and shout, you inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee. -> (Re.1:7-8-> 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, sais the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. ->7 Behold,He comes with clouds;and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

    GOD BLESS

    Greetings Oseas,

    I respect your posts and think I have agreed with most I've noticed in the past, but your two paragraphs starting with "By the way" has me puzzled.

    Can you please share how you arrived at that belief and how you interpret verses mentioning that name in verses like Isaiah 12:2?
  • S Spencer - In Reply - 3 months ago
    Amen Gigi I agree.

    If salvation was to the wicked whether you accept Christ or not and we all "including the wicked" will be ce gods whether we accept Christ or not, there is no need for righteous living.

    And God's display of love in offering his only begotten Son on the cross was pointless and cruel.

    That is not the Gospel of Christ!

    Here is who's Gospel it is.

    Genesis 3:4-5.

    And the SERPENT said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

    For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and YE SHALL BE AS GODS, knowing good and evil.

    Isaiah 12:14

    How art thou fallen from heaven, O LUCIFER, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

    For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

    I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

    This origin is of Satan.

    For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

    And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

    Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

    2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

    Also

    Just because there is two opposing views on the deity of Christ.

    If either side hates the other view, how is it possible join sides and to usher in this view or any other heresy to attack the Gospel and say that you are a child of God.

    Blessings.
  • MountHoreb - In Reply on Matthew 16:18 - 11 months ago
    We have a good example of the book of Job.

    the bible said he was a righteous man and fearing GOD.

    Jehovah ( psalm 83:18) himself called job righteous.

    It was Satan doubting Job as a righteous man Job 1:6-11.

    Satan planted seeds of Doubt by raising up 3 friends of Job

    who spoke without really understanding Job 2:11. Their false

    assumptions cause job many pains.

    Jesus is aware of the traps of Satan and how he uses deception and lies.

    Luke 4 and Matthew 4.

    Speaking about things we don't understand in a since can be

    like the ways of Satan John 8:44. false accusations and hinderance to do what is

    right or what God wants us to do is from Satan- Genesis 2:15-17; Genesis 3:1-5

    Jesus wasn't saying Peter was Satan. but he was being a hinderance to

    his obedience to Jehovah God. John 3:16,17; Isaiah 12:2

    Jesus after his impalement, Jesus came to Peter again. John 21:15-17

    We can avoid hindering others by praying.. Matthew 6:9,10,13

    Dear "Jamie", See here it is not taken out.

    Psalms 83:18

    That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

    Isaiah 12:2

    Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

    Exodus 6:3

    And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

    Isaiah 26:4

    Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

    In this context, it is a strong word. In KJV you have what is right. Some creeds have their own printing presses and can therefore make / raise / shorten as they wish. This will be confusing for those who read it.

    My experience is KJV is the best. Sometimes i hear readings from other publishers and the words are unfortunately mixed so that even if i read in my KJV there is total confusion. My advice to you is to read a translation that you drop and stumble upon the words / settings and the like. Only KJV :)

    Hope the answer can help you. For the Bible is meant to have a word that is understandable. Jehovah is also used by the Witnesses. I have no prior knowledge there. But maybe someone else has? Know that they do not believe in the trinity between God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

    Stay safe in Jesus name, love u in Christ. John 7:10_24

    Psalms 9:10, Psalms 18:2,30, Psalms 56:3, Psalms 71:5, Isaiah 12:2, our trust & hope should ultimately be in GOD

    * Psalms 118:8, * Jeremiah 9:4, * Micah 7:5,6, Luke 12:52, Psalms 27:10, Ephesian 6:2,3, Proverbs 23:22, people even most dear can betray, abandon, abuse etc. There was much abuse, betrayal, within King David's family & those he served. 1Samuel 21, 2Samuel 15, Saul his King, his children, wife, etc. Starting with his calling, 1Samuel 16:5-11,

  • T. Levis - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Jehovah used in this KJV translation : Exodus 6:3, Psalms 83:18, Isaiah 12:2, Isaiah 26:4,

    To find where each place it's located : (I just searched Jehovah in the search tab, on this site. It opens in top left of page when you tap the KJV Standard)

    If you notice in Exodus 6:3, it's perfect how it explains HE appeared to Abraham, Isaac & Jacob as GOD ALMIGHTY, but JEHOVAH that name was not known to them. It's very interesting the way the Bible has the names of GOD, especially old testament. In Psalms 83:18, Most High over all the earth.

    Hopefully that's helpful.

    Hi ty for response i also saw the error after it wasposted. Please forgive me.

    The references are usually tiny fonts below the scripture you read from the Bible.

    Please read chapter 7 in John eksample:in v. 38 He that believeth on Me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

    Reference to Isaiah 12.

    Good luck and price Him Jesus Christ. He is our Savior. Amen
  • Adam - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Brother Earl, I'm sure you mean well, but I, along with others here do not believe your interpretation of calling Jesus just a man. That disregards scripture like John 1 and Isaiah 44:6 that says Jesus was there in the beginning and helped create everything. Either you believe that or you don't. It clearly says Jesus helped create mankind so we believe it. He is the creator not the creation. This belief disregards all other scripture saying Jesus is God. If you scroll up you will see people have posted dozens of scripture that says that. That would be really sad if you deny the Lord. John 14:6 Isaiah 12:2 Matthew 10:33. 2 Peter 2:1

    Do you believe all of the Bible is true?

  • Adam - In Reply on Proverbs 20 - 3 years ago
    Hi Tobias,

    The Old Testament was the first writing about God and that book was written in Hebrew, which was the language of the Israelites and Jewish. If I write what God's name in another language it then wouldn't be in English anymore. Also, Hebrew uses different Hebrew characters so its not even possible to write that here and if it was, could you even read it? You can use the parallel view on this site to compare Hebrew to English though. So, it's my opinion that people often get fixated on what the actual names are in 'original' languages, however, my point of view is that we don't speak the original language, but English and it's already translated and correct. God is called God. He is also called Lord. Exodus 15:3. The pronunciation of Lord in English aside from the already-correct 'Lord' with hybrid characters is something like Yahweh, or YHWH, and Jehovah. Isaiah 12:2. Elohim = God in Hebrew.

  • David Cantse on Isaiah 12 - 9 years ago
    I 'm shocked that Isaiah 12 is only one of three place the 1611 Bible uses the divine name. However, in their notes the writers were wise and honest enough to acknowledge that the divine name YHWH 0r in modern english: Jehovah was substitued with the word "LORD " or "O LORD " or "LORD GOD " or "GOD " all in upper case lettering, to distiguish the most high God from any other god 's that mankind might create for himself. This includes Jesus Christ, who many have appreciated so much, that they inadvertantly made him into a god, or even at par with "The GOD " This is something Jesus himself, bothe when on earth and after his resurrection did not accept, as many, many scriptues bear out. Jesus Christ did and is doing tremendous things, but he teaches us divine humility by not trying to usurp his father Jehovah 's position as the supreme head of the universe. By the way, has anyone ever wondered why or how Jehovah 's Witnesses chose that "legal " name. To make their lives easier, one would think they 'd follow the churches, and just call themselves "the LORD 'S Witnesses ", but they didn 't--just a thought.

    I find that a lot of people that I have asked do you know God has a personal name ? Only to find out that they did not.I showed them in the KJ. King James version of the bible Psalms 83 18 and Ex 6 3 Isaiah 12 2 42 8 They were very excited .I love to call upon the name of Jehovah when I pray . AND 1 Timothy 2 5 One God and One Mediator between God and man, Christ Jesus .

    Isaiah 12, verse 2, reads, 'See, God has come to save me! I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord is my strength and song, he is my savation. ' Let 's get right to the point. We chide the JW 's for saying that Jesus is not God. They say that he is 'A ' God, and not the Jehovah of the Old Testament. But we Baptist and other mainstream Christians do the same thing. Just ask any Baptist preacher and he will say that Jesus is only God 's Son. And by Son he means that Jesus is a lesser figure than God the Father. The most famous Baptist mainline preacher says that he thinks of Jesus as a being separate from God. And that he hopes God will understand. Many Baptist say that God was in Jesus, but he was not Jesus. Or they make similiar statements. So again, why do we get upset with other groups like the JW 's for saying in the open what we say in our private thoughts. Again, Isaiah 12, verse, 2,says that God is coming to save us. This speaks of God as Immanuel Jesus being born in Bethlehem that Christmas day. This fulfilled all the promises of the Old Testament about God as our Savior! Paul knew this when he said that we must confess Jesus as Lord or God to be saved. The Father, then, is God 's other personality. the way God makes his decisions. But in all cases Jesus is the way God speaks to us and saves us. And there is yet another personality of God, the Holy Spirit, the way God inspires us to believe in what he is doing as Jesus. Pleas consider this!

    Monica...my heart goes out to you. I can only imagine what you must be going through. If it is your son calling you those names then your husband has every right to be upset at your son and if it is your husband then he definitely has a problem. I raised six kids and I know how belligerent they can become during their teenage years. The only heart felt suggestion is that when the turmoil starts lock yourself in a closet and start praying. The God you serve is stronger then any turmoil going on around you. Read Philippians 4 6 7, Isaiah 12 2, Romans 5 1, Isaiah 41 10
  • Rev. Autrey on Isaiah 12:1 - 9 years ago
    Isaiah 12 reads, '1 In that day you will sing, I will praise you, O Lord! You were angry with me, but not any more. Now you comfort me. 2 See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The Lord God is my strength and my song, he has given me victory. 3 With joy you will drink deeply from the fountain of salvation! 4 In that wonderful day you will sing, thank the Lord! Praise his name! Tell the nations what he has done. Let them know how mighty he is. ... 5 Sing to the Lord, for he has done wonderful things. Make known his praise around the world. 6 Let all the people of Jerusalem shout his praise with joy! For great is the Holy One of Israel who lives among you. I hope you get the meaning of this. These verses said to the people of Israel that their God is coming to save them. And that he is the God of their salvation. Then they say that "with joy they will drink deeply from the fountain of salvation. ' Then they say that this great God of salvation will live among them. This prophecy was fulfilled when God as Jesus was born as THE SON OF DAVID in Bethlehem that Christmas morning. No wonder the angels sang. "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to all whom God favors. " God as Christ was born. Now all who believe in him can rest in peace! May God bless you!
