Most people believe that Jesus is God's son, and that God sent His son down to save us from our sins. However, in some Bibles, the name of God is either mentioned as God or Lord. But those are not names, those are titles. So what is God's name?

yeah i agree with apldeap said, thats pretty much what i meant but the bible says the trinitys not supposed to make sense. legit it says that. but calling him any of those 3 things makes sense. Same as calling the devil, satan, or diablo. they all 3 mean the same, just different ways of putting it. in conclusion god has many different names and has been called many different names, the trick is that there is no one answer. oh and that thing about catholics calling it a divine mystery, yeah baptist believe in that part as well, it is just a mystery
Same as calling the devil, satan, or diablo.
Holy.. this is so political.
Though, if we aren't speaking of jesus and the holy trinity, I think god would be a name for the highest above. See, all religions have a god, the word god is just like a the word table. just a name to call something. Though I believe in God. capital G. It's too complicated but that's my way of interpreting it.

God is know by different names... You can also give him a good name
While it is true that the God from the Bible has many titles, he also has a personal name. In fact, God's name appears thousands of times in the Hebrew Scriptures, or "Old Testament" alone!
So what is God's name? In the Hebrew language, his name appears as four consonants, יהוה. Those four Hebrew letters are commonly transliterated YHWH. In English, a popular rendering of God's name is Jehovah, while Yahweh is another rendering. Thus, the Almighty God does indeed have a name. In the Bible, God said: "I am Jehovah. that is my name." (Isaiah 42:8; Psalm 83:18)
Additionally, the Bible says: "Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God is one Jehovah." (Deuteronomy 6:4) Jesus quoted that scripture at Mark 12:29, which means he obviously both knew and used God's name. He even made God's name known to others, as he said the following when praying to his heavenly Father, that is, God: "I have made your name known to them and will make it known." (John 17:26)

@apldeap123 - Just want to confirm some things. God is really, just God. He is The Messiah, our Lord, and at some times called the Father, but He is really just God.
@EmperorPalpatine - Listen, I know that you're Athiest, and I don't mean to judge what you think, or that picture, but God is Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. He is all three. It's complicated to think about, but that is the truth. And again, I don't mean to judge how or what you think about God, but your picture is WRONG. Sorry for being all 'in your face' about what I'm saying by the way.

@EmperorPalpatine - You do realize that you're going to hell if you don't stop thinking this way and start doing God's way, right? This is serious. Do you even care about your ETERNAL destiny? I hope you get saved...
@DeathPickaxe The point of the Scutum Fidei is to illustrate the point that it is all three simultaneously through God. God is the centre from which the concepts are connected. This is what Catholics, Anglicans, and Lutherans believe, at any rate. Unitarian churches don't, but I'm assuming that you aren't in one of those. In any case, it's a minor theological point, and adherence to it is more to do with attitudes to orthodox christianity than actual belief.

Meet you there, I guess. This discussion is getting very interesting. But I do have one question: Why did you decide to leave being a JW?
