As much as we talk about God and assign many different names to Him; something tells me none of us have it right. It has been said that the name of God is so powerful that long ago, the Hebrews sought to hide the name so that it could never be used. And of course there is the Commandment not to speak His name in vain, and that would make a lot more sense if it is true that by using His true name, one can wield great powers. Imagine a time way back, when the Hebrew priests were able to use the true name of God to call down His powers to help them. Surely they, being mere humans, would have been too tempted to use this power for relatively insignifcant benefits. Hence the Commandment, perhaps?
Jehovah, Yahweh, Elohim, Adonai... I personally believe these are all replacement names and the true name lies hidden in ancient archives, perhaps never to be discovered.
Stumbled across this 2 minute video.. which is interesting.

Would I want to know God's true name and wield the power that comes with it? My human self says yes, but my spiritual self says, no way. I wouldn't give it the reverence and respect it deserves and I would certainly end up using it in vain.
