    The numerous names for God have been a source of debate among biblical scholars. Elohim (god, or authority, plural form), El (mighty one), El Shaddai (almighty), Adonai (master), Elyon (highest), Avinu (our father), are regarded by many religious Jews not as names, but as titles highlighting different aspects of YHWH and the various 'roles' of God.
    Other Jewish sources believe that the use of various names of God in the Hebrew Bible, and the fact that Elohim is a plural word suggests a polytheistic origin. Thus the ancient Rabbis went to great lengths to try to account for the number of the names of God, by claiming that they account for the various aspects of God.

    Ancient Hebrew dont used vowels according to the sources. YHWH, were accurate four letters accoring to the hebrew scripture and its translated to an english letters To JHWH, which is more close accurate.
    How you pronouce it?
    I've found some sources in Insight of the New World Translation of the Holy Sriptures that there is no exact pronounciation of God's name As you discribed as YAHWEH. The english version of god's name could be JEHOVAH, because it is bearing his purposes to become.

    According to the source is four letters in hebrew. May be LOVE in english. According to the scriptures of 1 John 4:8 GOD is LOVE....what do you think?

    I think the God I believe in IS the perfect example of Love. I believe the "Love is patient..." passage in the Christian Holy Bible is beautiful and "accurate".
    A human can never possess the quality of love that God has, as far as I'm concerned, but I have found that my love for my children is as close as I get to "God's love" because I always forgive their "trespasses" and love them unconditionally. Not likely to happen with anyone other than those 3 hooligans (except my grandchildren, of course, and my parents).

    Love is cover evrything and  unlimited according to the Holy Scriptures, 1 Corinthian 13:7...no matter what. Yes, we will never posses that kind of quality of love tha he has, becuase, of our imperfection. But, because, we were created by His image have we all obligation to exercise His Love.?
