God is an omniscient, omnipresent and unknowable divine force. God has no end and no beginning. We can never know the nature of, the name of nor hear the voice of God. Judaism, Islam, Baha’i and Hinduism to name a few, agree on this concept.
Logically from these beliefs we can never know the name of God, if indeed there is a true name. We can never know God’s nature. A contradiction jumps out at us; Yhwh has a nature, talks to people and has a name.
Is this a contradiction or an observation?
Exodus 15:3 The Lord is a Master of war; the Lord is His Name
יְהֹוָ֖ה אִ֣ישׁ מִלְחָמָ֑ה יְהֹוָ֖ה שְׁמֽוֹ in Hebrew
Literally; Yhwh man war Yhwh name
Yhwh is a man of war Yhwh is his name
Genesis 12:1 And said Yhwh to Abram, “Go forth from your land and from your birthplace and from your father’s house, to the land that I will show you...5 And Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had acquired, and the souls they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go to the land of Canaan, and they came to the land of Canaan.
