Edit. To make it easier, what is God's name?

 

[williamt]

Why do we call God, God, when God doesn't have a name?

God is an English noun for the Creator. However, God is shared by Christians, Jews and Muslims though God if defined by His characteristics and attributes separates the God of Christians, Jews, and Muslim.

Elohim, El Shaddai, El Elyon, El Olam etc etc.

Don't know why on earth you'd even suggest that God doesn't have a name.

I guess it's just a reference.

Names which references various characteristics and attributes. Names mean something, try to learn what a name means.

Many how many labels but not a name does God have?

A superficial understanding of anything surfaces on the label and not what is underneath. Therefore consider what a label or name means. Christianity is a religious label, and all religions are the same comes about from a superficial understanding of religion.

I mean could say

The Way said...
The Truth said...
The he is just who he is said...
The Spirit of Life said...

I don't know. With a name above all names there is no name.

Obviously, you're making a point out of guessing.

Oh yeah. The Father.

A title given to One Person in the Triune God that only His children have the right to call Him by. Invoking the title Father should position us as His children which should settle our relationship to Him.

God cannot have a name because God is just God. More worthy than a name.

Then you're going to have to disregard Scripture. If so, at least admit that your God is not the God of Scripture. The God of the Scriptures is defined by His characteristics and attributes. Just because someone suggests that Allah is God does not mean Allah is the God of Scripture.

So God has many names then. I mean more like not a single name as in God. Some call him Elohim some call him The Father some call him I Am some call him whatever else. Someomw could say "The Truth said" and still be referring to God as he is the Truth right?.

My avatar says it all.

 

[JohnDB]

A name in the old Testament wasn't a tag like Dan, Tom, Lou...
It was a title...kinda like "Chef" or "President"

 

[for_his_glory]

Exodus 3:13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

His name is God.

God does have a Name: Yahweh....yod,hay,waw,hay....YHWH.

 

[JohnDB]

God does have a Name: Yahweh....yod,hay,waw,hay....YHWH.

And it means all three tenses of "I Am" at the same time.
Which is a tense that doesn't exist in English.
I Have Been
I Am
I Will Be

 

[Book Keeper]

And it means all three tenses of "I Am" at the same time.
Which is a tense that doesn't exist in English.
I Have Been
I Am
I Will Be

That reminded me of WWE's introduction sequence.
Then, Now & Forever.
We can apply this to God too!

Very good John. I learned years ago it also mean "I am whatever you need".
