Bible Quiz—it's fun and challenging

[Aractus]

Most of your hyperbolic phrases (e.g. "no serious scholar") amount to saying "in my opinion."

The theory that Adonai was substituted for the Tetragrammaton is still supported by a large number of scholars, including Catholic Answers and Wikipedia which states:

The consensus among scholars is that the historical vocalization of the Tetragrammaton at the time of the redaction of the Torah (6th century BCE) is most likely Yahweh, however there is disagreement. The historical vocalization was lost because in Second Temple Judaism, during the 3rd to 2nd centuries BCE, the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton came to be avoided, being substituted with Adonai ("my Lord"). ... the vowel points used when YHWH is intended to be pronounced as Adonai are slightly different to those used in Adonai itself.

It's still conjecture. We don't know if they substituted Adonai or another title for God in antiquity.

I'm changing my position on this issue. No longer is my position that the name IS Yehovah - my new position is simply that I haven't seen sufficient evidence to prove it is Yahweh. The main problem I have with the Yahweh theory is the fact that the Jews have always understood the name to be Yehovah - that's how the name is taught by Jews to this day, and I've never seen any evidence that they've ever taught it any other way. I will continue to write it as Jehovah because we write Jesus as Jesus and not Joshua/Yehoshua, etc.

But the point is moot anyway, because my original point is that Jealous is a name God gives himself in the Bible, but it's not THE name. The quiz is biased, and the question is biased.

Exodus 34:14: "for ye do not bow yourselves to another god -- for Jehovah, whose name [is] Zealous, is a zealous God."

Did you notice how in the quiz they intentionally removed Jehovah (The Tetragrammaton) and replaced it with Lord (and not even in capitals)?

That's fine, God does name himself Jealous - but what about this?

Exodus 3:14-15: And God saith unto Moses, `I Am That Which I Am;' He saith also, `Thus dost thou say to the sons of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.'

And God saith again unto Moses, `Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel, Jehovah, God of your fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; this [is] My name -- to the age, and this My memorial, to generation -- generation.

Here's a more modern translation: God replied to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.” God also said to Moses, “Say this to the Israelites: Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever; this is how I am to be remembered in every generation.

Where God specifically stats that his eternal name (for "generation to generation") is Jehovah/YHWH.
