“Yehovah” is the closest pronunciation possible of our Creator’s Name.

A. True

B. False

The pronunciation “Yehovah” is a manmade hybrid using the four Hebrew letters of the Father’s Name (i.e., yodhay-waw-hay) plus vowels of “Adonai” inserted. Those vowels were intended to signal the reader to use Adonai in place of Yahweh. They were not meant to be inserted into Yahweh’s Name to produce the different name “Yehovah.” Consider the following reference: “Jehovah [or Yehovah], an erroneous pronunciation of the name of the G-d of Israel in the Bible, due to pronouncing the vowels of the term ‘Adonay,’ the marginal Masoretic reading with the consonants of the text-reading ‘Yahweh,’ which was not uttered to avoid the profanation of the divine name of magical or other blasphemous purposes. Hence the substitution of ‘Adonay,’ the ‘Lord,’ or ‘Adonay Elohim,’ ‘Lord G-d.’ The oldest Greek versions use the term ‘Kurios,’ ‘Lord,’ the exact translation of the current Jewish substitute for the original Tetragrammaton Yahweh. The reading ‘Jehovah’ can be traced to the early Middle Ages and until lately was said to have been invented by Peter Gallatin (1518), confessor of Pope Leo X. Recent writers, however, trace it to an earlier date; it is found in Raymond Martin’s Pugeo Fidei (1270)” (Encyclopedia Americana, vol. 16, p. 8).

Correct: B

The Feasts are just for Jews.

A. True

B. False

Yahshua and His disciples kept the Feasts as a model for us today (see Remarkable Harmony of the Testaments chart in the fourth edition RSB). Three major prophets foretell of Feast-keeping in the millennial Kingdom: Isaiah 66:23; Ezekiel 45:1346:24; and Zechariah 14:16, which speaks of all nations that will be coming up each year to Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

Correct: B

The Hebrew word “hovah” within “Jehovah” means what?

A. Eternal B. Strength

C. Omniscience

D. Disaster

The word “hovah” is Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary No. 1943 and means, “ruin or disaster.” Why would our Heavenly Father give Himself a Name that carried such a negative connotation? This is one of the many proofs against the name Jehovah (Yehovah). In addition, Hebrew and Greek are without a “J” sound. The letter “J” was the last letter to be added to the English alphabet and was not included in the first printing of the King James Version of the Bible. For example, the name of the Messiah appeared as “Iesus” in the original KJV. As confirmed by modern scholarship, the proper pronunciation for our Creator’s Name is “Yahweh.”

Correct: D

Arius, who opposed the Trinity belief, believed what concerning the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?

A. The Father, Son, and Spirit were co-eternal and co-equal

B. The Father, Son, and Spirit were co-equal, but not coeternal

C. The Father was eternal, but the Son and Spirit were created

D. The Father was superior to the Son and Spirit

F. None of the above

According to author Wayne Grudem in the book, Systematic Theology, “Arius taught that G-d the Son was at one point created by G-d the Father, and that before that time the Son did not exist, nor did the Holy Spirit, but the Father only. Thus, though the Son is a heavenly being who existed before the rest of creation and who is far greater than all the rest of creation, he is still not equal to the Father in all his attributes—he may even be said to be ‘like the Father’ or ‘similar to the Father’ in his nature, but he cannot be said to be ‘of the same nature’ as the Father.” The only difference between Arius’ understanding and YRM’s understanding is that the Spirit is not a being, but the power of Yahweh, and therefore has always existed as part of the Father.
