Frankly, kosta50, I don’t care what you think but if you wish to post your denials, go right ahead.

You said "God's opinion" and I asked you what is his opinion. I thought it strange that someone like you (based on your previous posts) would make such a statement. That's all. There was no denial of any type in that question.

By the way, “The Lord” is the translation of the Hebrew YHvH which means “He IS.”

No, it means the Existence, just as the Greek equivalent ΟΩΝ. There is no gender or person in it.

Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I've been swamped.

me: By the way, “The Lord” is the translation of the Hebrew YHvH which means “He IS.”

you: No, it means the Existence, just as the Greek equivalent ΟΩΝ. There is no gender or person in it.

Gender is irrelevant in the phrase "He IS."

First from AISH: Writing the Torah

The Tetragrammaton (YHVH) is used as a proper name of God, denoting Him as the ultimate Source of all existence, high above the universe and its laws. The Tetragrammaton is therefore interpreted to mean that God "was, is and will be," indicating that He is outside the realm of space, time and all other attributes of nature. Therefore, when the Tetragrammaton is used in relation to man, it indicates that God is acting in mercy, transcending all the rules of providence.

And then, from the Jewish Encyclopedia

In appearance, Yhwh () is the third person singular imperfect "ḳal" of the verb ("to be"), meaning, therefore, "He is," or "He will be," or, perhaps, "He lives," the root idea of the word being,probably, "to blow," "to breathe," and hence, "to live." With this explanation agrees the meaning of the name given in Ex. iii. 14, where God is represented as speaking, and hence as using the first person—"I am" (, from , the later equivalent of the archaic stem ). The meaning would, therefore, be "He who is self-existing, self-sufficient," or, more concretely, "He who lives," the abstract conception of pure existence being foreign to Hebrew thought. There is no doubt that the idea of life was intimately connected with the name Yhwh from early times. He is the living God, as contrasted with the lifeless gods of the heathen, and He is the source and author of life (comp. I Kings xviii.; Isa. xli. 26-29, xliv. 6-20; Jer. x. 10, 14; Gen. ii. 7; etc.). So familiar is this conception of God to the Hebrew mind that it appears in the common formula of an oath, "ḥai Yhwh" (= "as Yhwh lives"; Ruth iii. 13; I Sam. xiv. 45; etc.).

God's Name is I AM, YHvH, He IS, Alpha, Omega...

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. - Revelation 1:8
