more nonsense. Just because the letter "J" didn't exist doesn't mean 
that the "J" sound didn't exist. The "J" sound was represented by the 
letter "I" for centuries before the hook was added to form the "J".

By your logic there was no W sound in English, yet the letter "W" was 
invented much later than the letter "J".

extra nonsense. You just disproved your own argument, showing the letter 
I was used to represent the "J" sound.

The modern name YAHWEH is total nonsense. It is a Roman trick to get 
people praying to the name IOVE, or JOVE. "Yah-weh" is the Roman 
pronunciation of IOVE, or Jupiter. It is a Jewish fable phantom invented 
by the Romans.

"This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be 
sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments 
of men, that turn from the truth."

I have been working on a paper to debunk this nonsense. It is not ready 
yet. I have spent years researching and I can show the actual ancient 
Hebrew name and its meaning. This Hebrew roots and sacred name nonsense 
is a cruel joke.
