Would you say you know God??? Really


Can anyone tell me what is God's name?   I speak to those among you who say you know God, if my lovely wife is asked who is that guy your married to. I would hope she wouldn't say my husband but address me by my name. I never like when I'm referred to as that black guy, for I have a name and I like to be addressed by it.  

Greeks God name was : Zesus.
Islamic know their God by the name of: Allah.
Jews God name is:  (אֱלהִים)
Most religions have a God  he/she has a name. 
What is your God name?

Well, Moses asked the same question, cause he wanted to know who he was about to follow.
1 Now Moses was pasturing the flock of Jethro His father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and He led the flock to the west side of the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
2 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and He looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed.
3 So Moses said, "I must turn aside now, and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up."
4 When the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush, and said, "Moses, Moses!" And Moses said, "Here I am."
5 Then God said, "Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground."
6 He said also, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Issac, and the God of Jacob." Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
7 And the Lord said, "I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have given heed to their cry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of their sufferings.
8 "So I have come down to deliver them from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perrizite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.
9 And now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has come to me; furthermore, I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them.
10 Therefore, come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may bring my people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt."

11 But Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?"

12 And He said, "Certainly I will be with you, and this shall be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God at this mountain."

13 Then Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I shall say to them, `The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, `What is His name?' What shall I say to them?"

14 And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM"
I AM Who I am



; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, `I AM has sent me to you.'"

15 And God, furthermore, said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, `The Lord, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations." (Exodus 3: 1-15)

If you don't know your Father, how will the world know Him?
Perhaps that is why you have difficulty is sharing the gospel because you can't talk about someone you don't know?  I hope that is not the case, my wife would not be happy with me simply addressing her as  woman every time I referred to her as my wife.  We should want to know our Heavenly Father not only his true name but to know his heart so that we can be children after His Father's heart.

Hold up Dr. H are you f**king kidding me? Your a black guy, no way I've been around black people my whole life most whites think I'm black because they say I speak more like a black man. i've spoken with you atleast 20 plus times and I never ever in a million years saw that. So today I learned to things that the man I've hate to love is a brother. Next thing your going to tell me is you were in Special Ops or a CIA agent ? I never knew God had any other name than God but that would make sense since every religion has a God as you stated in this message.

Wow I feel really bad cause I could have gotten my ass handed to me by you and never saw you coming. Dr. H I want again disrespect you or your site, that much you can be sure now that I know your a brother and I have a feeling a lot much more to you than just that. Last you were right again, the Salvation Army will be the best program to get my father into, not sure how you knew that but a year with housing and strict life style is just what I think he needs.

Thanks Dr. H
