Today we’re looking at one of the ploys the Church uses to confuse people. They’ve taken a basic truth from the Bible, facts from Israel’s history, and inserted their own dogma to produce an atrocious lie.
The mantra of the Church has always been that Jesus is the Jehovah of the OT, but He’s not God, as the name itself proclaims. However, we find in Strong’s Concordance the transliteration for Jehovah is yhwh which means, ‘self-existent, eternal, the Jewish national name of God’.
By using one verse, or a bit of historical truth, they’ll insert their own doctrine to make themselves sound more biblical. Don’t fall for their tricks beloved!
The Church is using a classic method in the world of cults to trick people.

Encyclopedia of Mormonism, p. 720 “The Godhead consists of three separate and distinct beings: the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (D&C 130:22; A of F 1). While some Christians do not equate Jesus Christ and Jehovah in their theologies, biblical passages indicate that relationship, and latter-day scriptures often refer to Jesus Christ, the Son, as Jehovah…
The name Jehovah is an anglicized rendering of the tetragrammaton YHWH, a proper noun in biblical Hebrew that identifies God. Following a Jewish tradition that avoided pronouncing God’s name, translators of the King James Version rendered almost all occurrences of YHWH as “Lord.” Latter-day Saints view many other occurrences of “Lord” as references to Jehovah, both in the New Testament and in LDS scripture.
Since his premortal life, Jesus Christ has functioned as the constant associate of the Father working under his direction…” — David R. Seely
