   Who is the God of Israel?  The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?   
      
   Christianity is in great confusion about this, a confusion also caused   
   by bad Bible translations.   
   In almost all Bible translations the four lettered name of God, which   
   appears in the OT almost 7000 times, is not written, but replaced with   
   "the LORD".   
      
   But here are the Biblical texts which indicate who is the God of   
   Israel, in which the letters of the name of God are written, just like   
   in the original Hebrew:   
      
   Nehemiah 9:7 "You are Y-H-W-H God, who chose Abram and brought him out   
   of Ur of the Chaldeans and named him Abraham."   
      
   Exodus 29:46   "They will know that I am Y-H-W-H their God, who   
   brought them out of Egypt so that I might dwell among them. I am   
   Y-H-W-H their God."   
      
   Numbers 15:41  "I am Y-H-W-H your God, who brought you out of Egypt to   
   be your God. I am Y-H-W-H your God."   
      
   Deuteronomy 10:20-21  "Fear Y-H-W-H your God and serve him. Hold fast   
   to him and take your oaths in his name. He is your praise; he is your   
   God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw   
   with your own eyes."   
      
   Joshua 24:18  "And Y-H-W-H drove out before us all the nations,   
   including the Amorites, who lived in the land. We too will serve   
   Y-H-W-H , because he is our God."   
      
   II Samuel 22:32  "For who is God besides Y-H-W-H ? And who is the Rock   
   except our God?"   
      
   I Chronicles 16:14  "He is Y-H-W-H our God."   
      
   II Chronicles 13:10  "As for us, Y-H-W-H is our God, and we have not   
   forsaken him."   
   Psalm 31:14  "But I trust in you, O Y-H-W-H; I say, You are my God."   
      
   Psalm 89:7  "For who in the skies above can compare with Y-H-W-H? Who   
   is like Y-H-W-H among the heavenly beings?"   
      
   Psalm 91:2  "I will say of Y-H-W-H, "He is my refuge and my fortress,   
   my God, in whom I trust."   
      
   Psalm 100:3  "Know that Y-H-W-H is God. It is he who made us, and we   
   are his."   
      
   Psalm 105:7  "He is Y-H-W-H our God; his judgments are in all the   
   earth."   
      
   Psalm 118:27  "Y-H-W-H is God, and he has made his light shine upon   
   us."   
      
   Psalm 140:6  "O Y-H-W-H, I say to you: You are my God."   
      
   Jesaja 25:1  "O Y-H-W-H, you are my God;"   
      
   Jesaja 41:13  "For I am Y-H-W-H your God, who takes hold of your right   
   hand and says to you: Do not fear; I will help you."   
      
    Jesaja  43:3  "For I am Y-H-W-H your God, the Holy One of Israel,   
   your Savior;"   
      
   Jesaja 51:15  "For I am Y-H-W-H your God, who churns up the sea so   
   that its waves roar- Y-H-W-H Almighty is his name"   
      
   Jeremiah 3:22-23  "Yes, we will come to you, for you are Y-H-W-H our   
   God."   
      
   Jeremiah 10:10  "But Y-H-W-H is the true God; he is the living God,   
   the eternal King."   
      
   Jeremiah 31:18  "Restore me, and I will return, because you are   
   Y-H-W-H my God."   
      
   Habakkuk 1:12  "O Y-H-W-H, are you not from everlasting? My God, my   
   Holy One, we will not die"   
      
      
      
   And is there, besides this God Y-H-W-H, another God?   
      
      
      
   Deuteronomy 4:35  "You were shown these things so that you might know   
   that Y-H-W-H is God; besides him there is no other."

   II Chronicles 6:14  "O Y-H-W-H, God of Israel, there is no God like   
   you in heaven or on earth."

   Isaiah 43:10 "You are my witnesses," declares Y-H-W-H, "and my servant   
   whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand   
   that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after   
   me."   
      
   Isaiah 44:6  ""This is what Y-H-W-H says- Israel's King and Redeemer,   
   Y-H-W-H Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; and apart from me   
   there is no God."   
      
   Isaiah 45:5-6  "I am Y-H-W-H , and there is no other; apart from me   
   there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not   
   acknowledged me,  so that from the rising of the sun to the place of   
   its setting men may know there is none besides me. I am Y-H-W-H , and   
   there is no other."   
      
   Isaiah 45:21-23  "Declare what is to be, present it- let them take   
   counsel together. Who foretold this long ago, who declared it from the   
   distant past? Was it not I, Y-H-W-H? And there is no God apart from   
   me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but me. "Turn to me   
   and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no   
   other."
