A FB friend became fed up with the "Sacred Namers" and provided a suitable rant worth sharing (by permission) and expanded upon.
Quote: They seem to have a single agenda which is to promote their form of pronunciation of the Name of our Creator. They have no interest in studying the Hebrew texts. Their only mission is to promote pronunciation with a measure of hate and contempt. No matter what one posts, they come in with their memes and attempt to high jack the post. Most often I simply dismiss them because I understand that we are all at different levels of understanding.... They just don’t seem to be interested in anything other than pronouncing the Name. If you happen to be a Sacred Namer, I don’t mind your brand of pronunciation, but please don’t beat me over the head with it!-- end quote
This is one of many topics of contention among 'believers' as they continue emerging from the Babylonian World System yet cling to the web of man's imagination. And like many of those topics, if those same people would read Scriptures, His Spirit would lead them to the correct understanding about the matter at hand.
I know there are many discussions out there in cyber-land and elsewhere debating the 'spelling of' and 'pronunciation of' these Names. I do not disregard their studies and research but I prefer not to let this be a matter of contention which blinds us to the fact that there is a Name above all names. I remember when I though His Name was "God" and His Son's was "Jesus". In my studies and keeping the ancient Hebrew texts in mind, I personally have come to respectfully call the Father and Son by their names: YHWH (Yah-weh) and Y'shua (Yah-shua) and I am comfortable enough with this as I wait for the return of His Son.
We know He has a Name and it was caused to be forgotten:
Jeremiah 23:26 (YHWH asks)"How long? Is there anything in the hearts of the prophets who prophesy falsehood, even these prophets of the deception of their own heart, who intend to make My people forget My name by their dreams which they relate to one another, just as their fathers forgot My name because of Baal?
Our Creator also gave a warning about bringing His Name to nothingness:
Exodus 20:7 ... do not bring the Name of יהוה your Elohim to naught, for יהוה does not leave the one unpunished who brings His Name to naught.
So let us wait until the sounding of the 7th shofar and the return of Y'shua the Anointed One who will let us know his name, the Father's name and how they are pronounced. Therein lies the patience of the saints. And lets not forget this piece of information:
Revelation 2: 17 ~ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To the one who is victorious I will give to eat of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white counter upon which is written a new name, known only to the one who receives it.
