I want to know all names of God.
that names he has in Judaism, Islam and Christianity.

Let’s see what I know so far:

  1. God
  2. Father
  3. Lord
  4. Jehova
  5. Allah(but that means God right?)
  6. Jesus
  7. the holy spirit
    8 Christ
  8. something like Iawhé don’t remember really

So I want more names

2

Jehova == Jaweh

3

Also Yahweh.

In the tetragrammaton:
YHWH

4

In Islam, there are 99 names for Allah (which in Arabic simply means God). I can’t remember them all now, but I have a book which mentions most of them, I’ll post some when I get back home.

5

And there was me thinking “Jesus” and “christ” was the son of God, not God. :wink:

6

Its the triforce~! XD (hope I don’t offend anyone :X)

7

Well, If I remember correct he is both God and the Son of God.

/me is waiting patiently for them :tongue:

‘Jesus’ and ‘Christ’, when correctly translated, are not names for god. The name for Jesus in the earliest copies of the NT was Yeshua, which is more accuratly translated as Joshua(I guess Joshua Christ just dosen’t have the same ring to it). So Jesus or Yeshua is just a name, and many people who lived at that time were named it. Christ means ‘annointed’, and kings, preists, and prophets were anointd with the hebrew anointing oil(which is actually made from the cannabis plant, according to very early OT manuscripts). Neither of those words translate to anything close to god. Another name is Eloha.

hmm, you seem right about that.

but let’s say it like this then, that was the names God have when he was incarnated as Jesus.

Here are some examples of the 99 names for Allah, which I found in a book called “The Essense of Sufism” by John Baldock. Non of them actually translate to ‘God’. Instead, they describe qualities which God is believed to have.

Here are five random examples;

Al-Muhaymin, which means The Protector, or The Guardian.
Al-'Alim, which means all knowing, or the Knower of All.
Ar-Rafi, which means the exalter.
Al-Kabir, which means the Great, or the greatest.
Al-Muhyi, which means the Giver of Life, or the Quickener.

There are many more examples. If any of you are curious about what other names describe which qualities God is believed to have, let me know and I’ll see if they are in my book :smile:

I want to know more names like that^^

It’s the things like that I want in this topic,

since I still believe that the father, Jesus and holy spirit is all the same God in Christianity. And even if this isn’t really proof but in Narnia Aslan was both the Creator like god and he also died and resurrected like Jesus so I see that like an indirect proof :tongue:
then I can add this.

  • Messiah (something like that)
  • the lamb(wasn’t jesus described as the lamb somewhere or am I mixing something up)
  • the Creator
12

You are correct, according to Judeo-Christian tradition, they are the same god(called the trinity). But, my point was that Jesus and Christ do not translate as anything close to “god” or “creator”.

13

Adonai is a Hebrew name for God

edit: didn’t realize how old this post was when i replied.

14

God is the allmighty father
Jesus is the son of God
And the holy gohst/spirit is the power of god

Edit:I tink God alsow is called Torat
