For the most part that is correct. If one were to attempt to pronounce it, it would be at the sound level of a whisper.

Hahaha...you're all wrong. Buzzer.

The Lord's Holy Name is and always was unspeakable, unwriteable .
It was before this silly flesh, vocal chords and pens and paper!
Any sound made is like a mimicking or imitation of Sound, the vibration that is His Holy Name.
Called Sat Nam (or Naam) and Shabd in other religions meaning True Name...again unspeakable.

It is SO SO special and Holy the first thing Jesus says after addressing His Father
and where He dwells is, Hallowed be Thy Name.
You are, sorry, taking It in vain right now...because you don't know what It is within you and everywhere, permeating All That Is.

I say this a lot...no one ever cares, ha, I'm sooo used to it....so keep putting letters together
and saying different syllables...God knows your heart...and that is all that matters, really.

This is good stuff below:

"GOD KNOWS MY HEART". So are they wrong for calling on pagan names.

Here are the names

IN Hebrew it's AHAYAH ASHER AHAYAH, which mean I AM THAT I AM. Which he told to Moses.

YASHAYA, which means my savior.

Most of us know Jesus isn't Christ's real name, nor YAHWEH(YHWH),Jehovah,Yah,JahEl Shaddai,Yeshua, and etc. Since The Most High isn't the Author of confusion I can only assume he only had one name for us to call on. So are they wrong for proclaiming pagan names, when they know its not his true name?
As long as one does not call him late for dinner, I get the idea the "name" we use is of little consequence.

I'm sure you have all heard the saying that "the first language of God is silence".

That would be a good way to end this thread. Hehehe.

Why is it that every made up idol god has a name, but many think the one true creator doesnt have a name and you can see them using it over 7000 in the OT. You can blame the Jews for giving us the word LORD and substituting the true name, whatever it actually was back then.

This is how we develop our understanding....Didn't god say I AM WHO I AM...How can a god be limited to just one PROPER and ACCEPTABLE name?

yehôshûa‛ in the Hebrew is translated Joshua.
Joshua does not transliterate into Greek exactly. There are letters in Hebrew that are simply not there in Greek. The Greek of Luke 3:29, Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8 all have Ἰησοῦ/s for Joshua. Translators render it as Joshua instead of Jesus because that is the name readers will be familiar with. Likewise, the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament often abbreviated LXX) uses Ἰησοῦ/s (Greek grammar rules specify that the final sigma appears depending on the case of the noun).
That "Joshua" transliterates as "Jesu"s is easy to see when you examine the respective alphabets
