The term "God," whether capitalized or not, is a general, not a specific term;
it does not identify any particular elohim (god). Other religions identify by name the
one to whom devotion is given, but by and large, Christians have been ignorant of or reluctant
to identify by name the one to whom they give worship. That is even more strange when one
considers the many exhortations recorded in scripture to identify Him by name.
There are documented reasons why the Jewish people moved away from identifying
Yahweh by name and came to substitute, first of all in their oral reading and finally
in their written scriptures, another word which came to be translated by the general term of "god."
Today, scripture translators are aware that Yahweh best expresses the name by which the Creator
identified Himself, but because of religious tradition and other reasons, there is reluctance to
restore this name to the written scriptures.
In the 16th century, an attempt was made to restore the proper name by the
introduction of Jehovah, but that word falls short for different reasons,
the chief one being that there is no "J" sound in the Hebrew language. The best evidence we
have available to us indicates that Yahweh is the true name of our elohim, the one by whom and
for whom all things were made, and therefore we are committed to using His true name — the one
He gave to Himself. Yahweh means, "The one who exists, or whose nature it is to exist.
