Is Jove a name for almighty God?

No. Jove is a Latin name for a god in their pantheon of gods. Almighty God refers to El-Shaddai, the God of the Israelites. The word "god" is a generic term to refer to deity. However, God is not a "name" at all (unlike "Jove"), even though we capitalize it as though it were a proper name. No one knows God's real, actual name. When Moses asked what God's name was, he was told, "I AM WHO I AM" (or I will be who I will be). To know the name is to have control over the bearer of that name, and no person can have control over God by knowing God's name. This is also why parents have contol over their children. Genesis indicates that the man and woman must leave their parents to be united--they leave the control of the ones who named them, and become controllers of the next generation that they name and raise, and so on through the generations.


How do you show our love for God and respect for your parents?

Is the will of parents is the will of god?

The Bible teaches believers to honor their parents, and many Scriptures point to the importance of children being obedient to parents. But that is not the same as identifying the will of the parents with the will of God. When a child becomes an adult, the parents are no longer responsible for that person's moral choices, and each adult must seek out God's will for her or himself. Furthermore, parents who are abusive or cause their children to do things that are clearly sinful cannot be said to be acting in the will of God.
