Why don't professing Christians call the God they serve by his name?
The name of God, YHWH, is contained in the Hebrew translation of the TNK. When the TNK was translated into Greek, called the Septuagint, the name of God was still written in Hebrew. Later versions of the Septuagint use the phrase "THEOS KYRIOS (God is the Lord)," in place of the Hebrew for YHWH. When the Cristian new testament and the old testament (made up of Hebrew scriptures) where translated into Latin (called the Vulgate) the name of God was translated as IEHOVAH (the LORD). Modern Christians refer to God as Jehovah, because the modern bibles were translated directly from the Vulgate.
