The name "Yahweh" comes from Exodus, where God introduces himself as "I am that I am."
Considered by many Protestant Christians to be a personal god. (That is, a god who desires to be a part of our every day lives.)
Both a god of love, and a god of justice. Some like to romanticize God by limiting Him to his loving side, while others use God's justice as an excuse to oppress people. But a perfect God must love deeply, and also hate injustice.
God promises that every evil act will be punished, if not in this life than in the next. But there is an escape from this.
Some believe that being a good person will get you into heaven, but this this merit system is flawed. Certain individuals like Mother Teresa and Hitler could be easily placed on one side or another, but what about the ones in between?
Wouldn't it suck to be the guy standing right behind where the line was cut off?
"But that guy ahead of me isn't much better than me! We're practically equals!"
"True, but we have to draw a line somewhere... Sorry!"
God doesn't go by the credit-merit system of salvation. Instead, "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God."
God says that if you want to spend all of eternity with Him, simply tell Him you're sorry for everything you've done wrong, and to love Him with Your life. Know Him personally, and you will enter.
Whether you believe in Him or not, THIS is the God of the Bible. Take it or leave it.

Matthew 25:1-13: "At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
"At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'
"Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.'
" 'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'
"But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
"Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!'
"But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.' "

Get the Yahweh mug.A group of people operating in youtube, encyclopedia dramatica, and other social websites. Accused of targeting children, disabled people, African-Americans, and those of the Jewish religion. Also, they have posted videos containing death threats, bomb threats, and posting offensive material to underaged people. Over 200 accounts have been banned with the people associated with the Yahweh clan. Most likely includes only more than twenty people creating accounts over and over again after being banned. Most of all, they have harrased people with mental issues to the point of suicide. An example of how Encyclopedia Dramatica is being abused by users who aren't just in for 'teh lolz'.
