Jewish God?

Is there a jewish god that they believe in?

They believe in one God. They are monotheists.

These are the principles of the Jewish faith:

13 Principles of Faith:
I believe with perfect faith that the Creator, Blessed be His Name, is the Creator and Guide of everything that has been created; He alone has made, does make, and will make all things.
I believe with perfect faith that the Creator, Blessed be His Name, is One, and that there is no unity in any manner like His, and that He alone is our God, who was, and is, and will be.
I believe with perfect faith that the Creator, Blessed be His Name, has no body, and that He is free from all the properties of matter, and that there can be no (physical) comparison to Him whatsoever.
I believe with perfect faith that the Creator, Blessed be His Name, is the first and the last.
I believe with perfect faith that to the Creator, Blessed be His Name, and to Him alone, it is right to pray, and that it is not right to pray to any being besides Him.
I believe with perfect faith that all the words of the prophets are true.
I believe with perfect faith that the prophecy of Moses our teacher, peace be upon him, was true, and that he was the chief of the prophets, both those who preceded him and those who followed him.
I believe with perfect faith that the entire Torah that is now in our possession is the same that was given to Moses our teacher, peace be upon him.
I believe with perfect faith that this Torah will not be exchanged, and that there will never be any other Torah from the Creator, Blessed be His Name.
I believe with perfect faith that the Creator, Blessed be His Name, knows all the deeds of human beings and all their thoughts, as it is written, "Who fashioned the hearts of them all, Who comprehends all their actions" (Psalms 33:15).
I believe with perfect faith that the Creator, Blessed be His Name, rewards those who keep His commandments and punishes those that transgress them.
I believe with perfect faith in the coming of the Messiah; and even though he may tarry, nonetheless, I wait every day for his coming.
I believe with perfect faith that there will be a revival of the dead at the time when it shall please the Creator, Blessed be His name, and His mention shall be exalted for ever and ever.

He's called YHWH, or Jehova.
He , in my opinion, isnt that nice. Actually he's the antithisis of nice. It's a very good job indeed that he is fictinal otherwise the world would be in serious doo doo.

Jevoh what is the proof of god?

God as described in the Old Testament is a vicious tyrant. God as described in the New Testament loves you all. Marcion of Sinope got so disillusioned by this, that he started his own church. He claimed that the creator God of the Old Testament is not the same as the God of the NT. He compiled his own Bible, which had the OT and all references to it omitted.

Jehovah is just the name the Jews & Samaritans (a break-away faction of the Jews) use for God.

You mean whats the proof that he exists?

Easy. Look at the amazing way that a flower is made....umm...ok well evolution explains that and creation too.


Jehova is proved by the bible which he inspired men to write. If he wasnt real then he couldnt have inspired men to write it!

Not as a man a Jewish god. In there religion Is God a human?

Not according to most of the Old Testament, except Genesis. In Genesis, God comes down to Earth and wrestles with Jacob, and Jacob almost defeats him, signifying anthropomorphic characteristics, ie, depicting God as a man-like figure.

"Then the man said, 'Your name will no longer be Jacob, but
Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and
have overcome." (Genesis 32:28)

Yeah, Jacob must have had like a black belt in ninjitsu or something, although its hard to tell if he was fighting an angel or not.
Regardless he put Yahweh/ the angels hip outta joint. Surely worth a bit of kudos.

Whoever wrote that bit must have drunk quite a few bottles of holy spirit.

Who is Jacob? And didn't Prophet Musa come to pass the message to them then why do they belive in Jeovah? Thanks Barney in advance or anybody who answers.

Moses was "talking" to Jehova. Jehova is to the Jews what you guys call Allah, but obviously the portrayal of him is completly different in the Quran.

In the Torah, Yahweh/jehova wrote the 10 commandments up the mountain on rock and Moses carried them down (It took him 40 days), the rest of his laws he transmitted to Moses but only Moses and his son could hear him. Moses described to the Jews what Jehova had said. it's all listed in the Books Leviticus, Deutronomy and Exodus in the Bible.

Jacob is Yaqub (pbuh), Ibrahim's (pbuh) grandson.

Jehovah is the Hebrew name for Allah (SWT), just like how God is the english name for him.

Jazakallah. But did Jacob (as) fight Allah?

Nope. We believe it's a false slander against Allah (SWT) and Yaqub (pbuh). The Jews used that to justify that they're superior to everyone else. Ancient racism.

Jacob was the twin of Esau and Son of Issac. Esau was a hunter . Jacob kinda just hung around at home.
Esau came back one day and wanted some soup. Jacob swapped it for Esaus birthright. Which seemed a fair deal. it was tasty soup.

Rebekah his mum liked him best and they played all kinds of tricks on issac to fool him, like dressing up in a goat costume to get a one-shot blessing off Issac.

Its worth a read.

Do Muslims belive Jacob had a twin brother?

Genesis 28:9
So Esau went to Ishmael and chose for a wife, in addition to the other wives he had, Mahalath daughter of Abraham's son Ishmael.

Esau ended up marrying Hittite and Ishmaelite women, the poor old chap gets shot dead in the book of jubilees. (Guess by who?)

Jacob?...

There's no mention of it, as far as I know. I do know that Yusuf (pbuh) was his son.

You've been doing pretty good on this, Khan. But, if you don't mind, a small correction on who uses the term Jehovah. No Jews that I know use this term. It is actually a concotted term created when trying to translate the God's name into English.

As Jews found God's name so sacred that they would not even speak it aloud, but always substituted the word "Lord" for it, and also because of it's sacred nature when writing it they would not write in the vowel marks, lest someone should be reading the Torah and accidently see the vowel marks and speak God's name, no one knew (or even today knows) exactly how to speak God's name -- the one he declared himself by to Moses. All that the translators of the first English bibles had was the tetragram of the Hebrew Bible, and those letters are YHWH. Because of irregularities in writing English script characters, they were at the time written as JHVH. But they still didn't have any vowels to put in with them, so the editors of the English Bible just decided to use the vowels from LORD and they ended up with Jehovah as the term used in the first English bibles, and the though most English bibles now use YAHWEH, the use of Jehovah has stuck for many groups of people. However, the Jews are not among that group. Jews still don't like using God's name, and so will continue to use euphemisms instead of referring to him directly. Some of our Jewish friends around here have explained this in the past, if I can find it, I'll provide a link.

You are correct in asserting that no Jew would ever conceive of God as a man (well, with the exception of the Jew, Jesus and his Jewish disciples, but now I'm showing my prejudices).
