Jehovah Is LORD Yahweh Is A Devilish Deception
Many have probably heard people claiming to be “Christians” call God “Yahweh.” Many are a little surprised, having never before heard that name for God. The persons using the word take great pride in displaying their understanding of the “true” name of God. The speaker and listener usually don’t know that Yahweh is NOT the proper name for God. In reality, Yahweh is the name for a heathen weather god.
God’s true name is Jehovah. We find in Exodus 6:2-3, that God reveals his proper name, Jehovah.
And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord: 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. Exodus 6:2-3 (AV)
Jehovah is the proper English translation of the Hebrew Tetragrammaton (YHVH). The minions of Satan in the Hebrew Roots (a.k.a. Sacred Name) movement have hoodwinked their followers into using the name Yahweh in place of Jehovah. They ignorantly think that Yahweh is the correct pronunciation of the Hebrew Tetragrammaton (YHVH), rather than Jehovah. They are wrong. Yahweh is a satanic trap set for the unlearned and gullible. It subverts people into worshiping a devil, Yahweh, in place of God Almighty, Jehovah. God’s name is Jehovah, and Yahweh is a heathen tribal god.

John MacArthur and James White Promote the Legacy Standard Bible Devoted to the Worship of the Heathen god Yahweh
The popular practice of calling God “Yahweh” has heathen origins. Yahweh is NOT the proper name for God. The proper name for God is Jehovah. Yahweh is used in place of Jehovah. In reality, Yahweh is the name for a heathen weather god.
Dr. James White, who promotes the corrupt new Bible versions, says Jehovah is a false pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton: “Now, ‘Jehovah’ is a false pronunciation of the Hebrew word ‘YHWH,’ correctly pronounced ‘Yahweh.’ This is God’s ‘personal’ name in the Old Testament.” This corruption is finding its way into the modern Bible translations. For example, the New Living Translation (NLT) has changed the passage where God identifies himself as Jehovah to having God identify himself as Yahweh.
KJV
And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD: 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. Exodus 6:2-3 (KJV)NLT
And God said to Moses, “I am Yahweh—‘the Lord.’ I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty’—but I did not reveal my name, Yahweh, to them. Exodus 6:2-3 (NLT)
James White promotes the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) as being more accurate than the King James Bible. The LSB replaces God’s name, Jehovah, with the name Yahweh. Using the name Yahweh is not a different way of pronouncing God’s name. It is a replacement of God. Indeed, James White is emphatic that God’s name is NOT Jehovah. He claims that God’s true name is Yahweh, and it is impossible for his name to be Jehovah. “Yahweh is unquestionably the best pronunciation of the Divine name. Jehovah is not even possible.” James White and the LSB have rejected the true God, Jehovah, and replaced him with a heathen tribal god, Yahweh.
KJV
And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD: 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. (Exodus 6:2-3 KJV)LSB
God spoke further to Moses and said to him, “I am Yahweh; and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name, Yahweh, I was not known to them.” (Exodus 6:2-3 LSB)
John MacArthur, a world-famous preacher and President of the Master’s University and Seminary, announced the publication of the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) by making particular note of the use of Yahweh in place of Jehovah. MacArthur states that it is of utmost importance that Christians know God’s name. He states that changing Jehovah to Yahweh is one of the principal reasons he considers the LSB “a priceless treasure—an amazing effort.” But he obfuscates what he has actually done. He claims he is more reverent to God by stating his name, which he thinks is Yahweh, instead of the LORD. But he does not reveal that he is changing the name of the eternal God from Jehovah to Yahweh. To understand that, you would have to read Exodus 6:3, Psalms 83:18, Isaiah 12:2, and Isaiah 26:4 in the LSB.
For about a year, linguistic scholars of the Master’s University and the Master’s Seminary have been working on a translation called the Legacy Standard Bible. It’s come to completion. Now, the first printed form of it is the New Testament Psalms and Proverbs. It’s the best English translation I have ever read. It’s the most diligently prepared translation. And one of the wonderful features of it is it calls God by the name he asked to be remembered by. When you say LORD, you’re talking about his sovereignty. In all English Bibles, Yahweh is translated LORD in upper case letters. But that just repeats Adonai. It doesn’t give you the name of God, which is the covenant name that expresses his eternal being. He wants you to know his name. And you say it all the time. Every time you say hallelujah, you say praise, Yahweh. This translation, for that and a number of reasons, is a priceless treasure—an amazing effort.
The translators of the LSB have gone on record to say that the KJV is wrong. They claim that “Jehovah we do believe is an incorrect way of pronouncing it [the tetragrammaton, YHVH]. But what that is, it is a misreading of the vowels that appear on the letters YHWH on the word Yahweh.”
The rising popularity of the Hebrew Roots movement has spearheaded the recent upsurge in substituting Jehovah with Yahweh. The Hebrew Roots movement is a Zionist theology followed by Gentiles that emphasizes recovering Jewish legalism while claiming faith in Jesus. It is sometimes also called the Sacred Name movement. While those in the Hebrew Roots movement claim faith in Jesus, they have a different Jesus from the Biblical Jesus. There is no indication that James White or John MacArthur are part of the Hebrew Roots movement. But their adoption of Yahweh is an indication of how portions of the Hebrew Roots theology are wafting into the ersatz “Christian” churches.

Both of them are Heretics, preach works salvation, and worship Satan’s Heliocentricity

We have been living under the 5th angels plague since 1832 (the year the unbelieving jewish bankers bailed out the Vatican). This era is detailed in Revelations 9 (KJV).
This is also the year Skull and Bones was started (trans bones-one bone female. one bone male, one eye socket male, one eye socket female). It is also the year of the Black Rock Address, where most Baptists went back to Rome in various doctrines and practices.
It is paralleled with Revelations 16 (from gentile perspective).The reason I mention this is because:
“And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions [wide dental arch].”God warns us that they are transgender. If you look at the skull and pelvic bones of many mega church pastors, they have female bones structure. Close set eyes, egg shaped heads, slopping shoulders. Look at their wives, who have wide dental arches and other male markers. It tells the tale and God warned those with eyes to see.

There is so much that can be said on this subject, I made a poster board about it.
So many times in the OT, Israel changed God’s name for Baal, and it greatly angered God.
In the OT, the names meant something. Yah, Je Jo, iah, el (as prefixes and suffixes) mean Jehovah.
This sermon describes it well:

(ignore the “globe” in the slide show, I have already confronted the pastor on this and at the time his heart was hard toward the idea that we are not on a globe)

You cite your own book as proof? YHWH is the English transliteration. The word “Jehovah” wasn’t ever heard of until the late Middle Ages when the Hebrew letters tetragramatron were combined with the vowel pointers for Adonai and changed to Latin. You could so easily disprove what I just said by citing an early Church father, or ANY writing of the first few centuries or 1000 years, that used the word “Jehovah”. But you won’t.
Read what I wrote and posted. In it I explain in clear terms that Dr. Nehemia Gordon, who is a renowned Hebraist, tried to track down the source of the Hebrew vowels for Yahweh. He researched extensively, trying to find the authority for Yahweh as the Tetragrammaton (YHVH) pronunciation. What he found surprised him. There was no ancient authority for pronouncing the Tetragrammaton (YHVH) as Yahweh.
“What do we have in Jewish sources, and what do we have in Hebrew Bible manuscripts? There isn’t a single Hebrew Bible manuscript that has Yahveh or Yahweh, nothing, nowhere, anywhere. There isn’t a single Jewish source that has Yahweh. Let’s say an ancient or medieval Jewish source.”
Dr. Gordon cited 19 learned rabbis with eclectic backgrounds who, through history, all stated that Yehovah was the correct rendering of the Tetragrammaton (YHVH) in Hebrew. In Hebrew, it is pronounced Yehovah, whereas in English, it is pronounced Jehovah.
Wilhelm Gesenius (1786-1842), the most authoritative advocate for YHVH being pronounced Yahweh instead of Jehovah, let the cat out of the bag. He confirmed that Yahweh, the name he championed as the name of the God who communed with Moses, was the name of a heathen god originating in Egypt.
I revealed all of that information in my posted article. Yet you claim that “you could so easily disprove what I just said by citing an early Church father, or ANY writing of the first few centuries or 1000 years, that used the word “Jehovah”. But you won’t.” In fact, I did that very thing, but you did not even bother to read it, or, if you did, you did not understand it.
