What religion uses Yahweh?

Actually YHWH is the name given to the God of Abraham in the Old Testament(although he goes by many names.), as God revealed his name (YHWH= 'I am who I am') to Moses on Mount Sinai.Thus YahWeh is the God of Judaism, as revealed to Moses, of the Christian (in the Holy Trinity-3 gods in one, father (Yahweh or Jehovah), son(Jesus Christ) and holy spirit ( holy ghost)) and of the Muslim (as Allah = 'God' in Arabic) and all other religious beliefs that use the Torah (first 5 books of the canonized bible) as the basis for their belief. These religions are called Judeo-Christian because they have their root in Judaism and Christianity. Christianity claims to be an extention of Judaism (I have come, not to destroy the law(of Moses) but to fufill it."- Matthew 5:17 ).-reply :Jehovah's witnesses serve Jehovah or yahweh. Yahweh is favored by most Hebrew scholars. Jehovah is translated from the Hebrew tetragrammaton. Which means "he causes to become". These 4 Hebrew letters are represented in many languages by the 4 jhvh or yhwh. The name Jehovah appears at ex3;15, 6;3. Gen22;14. Ex17;15. Judges 6;24. Eze 48;35.reply, your answer is true, but he is also the true God of Christians today.MAL 3;6 READS, I AM jEHOVAH I HAVE NOT CHANGED.

In the Joseph story what are some instances of Yahweh's interventions and how they happen?

In the Old Testament story about Joseph, the text frequently talks about Yahweh, how he was with Joseph and how he blessed him, but God does not intervene to solve problems for him or give him advice. God never talks to Joseph or appears to him. After Jacob, the next described as communicating with God is Moses.Although the text frequently talks about Yahweh, Joseph is never portrayed as speaking of Yahweh. When Joseph talks about God (or gods), he uses the word 'elohim. This is the Hebrew word for gods (plural - the singular is El) and was used in the northern kingdom of Israel for their God, but normally in a singular context or with a singular verb. So, when Joseph talks about 'elohim (for example, to the pharaoh), this could mean God in the same sense as Yahweh, but Joseph always uses a plural verb and the sense remains if he was referring to other gods.

What religion uses the term yahweh?

The Jerusalem Bible (1966) uses the name Yahweh when transliterating the personal name of God in the Bible from the Hebrew letters יהוה , (i.e. YHWH) into English.The Bible in Basic English uses 'Yahweh' eight times in the Old Testament.The Holman Christian Standard Bible uses 'Yahweh' 495 times.The World English Bible uses Yahweh throughout.The name of God, represented by this group of four letters ( יהוה ) occurs some 6,828 times in the Biblia Hebraicaand the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, reputable bibles which are considered to be standard Hebrew texts of the complete Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). In these Hebrew texts, God's personal name in this form appears in most Old Testament books, from Genesis to Malachi.Rotherham's Emphasized Bible uses Yahweh throughout.The New Living Bible translates the Hebrew ' יהוה' as Yahweh ten times, e.g. Genesis 22: 14; Exodus 6:2,3.ADDITIONAL NOTESYah (or Jah), a shortened form of the name Yahweh, is also used in the bible.In most bibles it can be found in the word Allelujah('Praise Jah') in Revelation chapter 19. Some bibles also show this word in the Old Testament, where 'Jah' (26 times), or 'Allelujah'(24 times) occurs in the Hebrew text. e.g. in Exodus 15:2 (Darby, and in Young's Literal Translation), and in Psalms 149 & 150.In addition, It also seems that all English bibles retain this shortened form 'jah' when rendering bible names such as Elijah ('My God is Jah') into English.For more information, see 'Related links' below.
