"For even though there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,” there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him." (1 Corinthians 8:2-6)
The use of the name Jehovah was widespread during colonial times. I did not realize the extent until I saw the movie April Morning. Thanks to the producers for maintaining historical authenticity.
It seems the idea that God may have a personal name has fallen from popularity. . . . . . . . . .
And Yahweh, as any biblical scholar can tell you, came down from the stars with many other "gods" to mate with the local wildlife.
