From your posts, I would argue that you were not. Apparently, you did not even know that there is no Hebrew letter "J".

Obviously, you need to take a reading comprehension course. My post explicitly spells out the three most common permutations. Including the IHVH version. I am also fully aware of the Yod/Yow/Yah-Hay/Haw-Vah/Vaw/Vow-Hay/Haw varients in dilect and time period.

Which completely dodges the point I was trying to make that such a designator, even an incorrect one such as Yoweh, is MUCH closer to truth and reality than the generic deification moniker "God".

Don't be an imbecile. I wasn't trying to make any other point.

Those who read both Hebrew and English would offer only 2 variants: YHVH and YHWH. We are talking about representations of letters which convey a phonetic. The sound "JAY" is not present in Hebrew. The sound "YUH" is, and represented most accurately by the English letter "Y" since that is the English phonetic as well.

am also fully aware of the Yod/Yow/Yah-Hay/Haw-Vah/Vaw/Vow-Hay/Haw

If you say so. Still looking for the missing "J" and the word "Jehova". Also, debate about pronunciation is somewhat muted when cantillation can be traced to quite ancient times. We are talking about minor differences, not the introduction of major sounds like "JAY".

Don't be an imbecile. I wasn't trying to make any other point.

I believe you have made several points here in this thread. Some, most assuredly, you did not intend to make.
