'preaches' - i dont care for that much, but singing about his beliefs is okay with me as long as the music is good and the lyrics are well written.

naw...

It might bother me if he didn't.

Before he became " eek sad mad ) on his last or first site, I 4get which one it was. The really nice one that had the harp like sound when you moved the mouse over the water (yeah, I'm simply like that biggrin ) I would read the Word and pray to God for answers. Once, when me and my ex were arguing and I needed a verse, I asked him to send me a verse and he did.

Phillipeans 4 and it is still helps me when I think of that verse.
I saw Prince cry
and I asked God why

The answer He gave
caused me 2 b saved

Now I cannot tell a lie

He can faun over as many antiquated, middle-eastern jealous storm-deities as he likes for all I care, it's made the music pretty interesting so far.

At least he's not into Scientology.

Well not really Jehovah is God's personal name. God and Lord are titles.

In the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures Psalm 83:18 says: You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth."


Anyways to answer the question...no I am not bothered by this. Prince is free to speak or sing about God. He definitely gets your attention whether you approve of it or not.



picky picky smile I know that.

actually jehova is one of many names for god depending which one you are talking about.

i think we all assumed the original post was about jehova seeing as that is what prince was reportedly last into.


BTW who did Jehova tell his name to?

U know Im a great believer in God without religion and it dosent bother me either that he calls God Jehovah or that he preaches in his songs. To each their own I say. We all call god many different names...God ,Jehovah, Allah, Great Spirit etc, but what it boils down to is that we all believe in a "Higher Power" and if u want to shout it from the mountain tops....or in Prince's case sing it in ure songs...Blessed Be To U
No one is making us listen to his songs, so I guess the point is if u dont like it....don't listen lol

not all of us believe in a higher power.

But that doesnt alter the fact that Prince singing about his beliefs doesnt bother me, poor lyrics do. I think some of his best work has been based on his beliefs. He is also a very well read/informed man.

I dont like lion of judah, not because of its content, which is a tad odd as I dont understand what he is trying to say in that one, I dont like the sound. Isnt that the one wendy and lisa worked on? But then I dont much like their current stuff either.

OK, I really want don't want to come across as being picky...but that's twice now that you haven't spelled the name correctly. To me it's just a matter of respect.

As for your question, here is the answer:

Exodus 6:2-3 And God went on to speak to Moses and to say to him: "I am Jehovah. And I used to appear to Abraham,Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but as respects my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them..."


If you are interested you may also read Exodus 33:19 34:5


I didnt mean to be disrespectful and i was just playing when i said picky.


thanks for the quote, but im not interested - i did way too much bible study as a teen, heck my bible looked like a flippin rainbow from all the underlining.

i dont have room for religion in my life i have made a decision to be an atheist. But as you all said, each to his own.

at least we have prince in common biggrin

Not at all - it doesn't bother me one bit in fact I quite like it - nice to know that he believes in something and that it gives him solace - his world can be a lonely scary place.

Well, if you really want to know, the name of God is not Jehova...the J wasnt even introduced to the English language till around the 11th century A.D. If you go back to the original Hebrew, the name of God is יהוה (Yud-heh-Vuv-Heh)..which can not be pronounced. People tried to translate יהוה and they came up with Jehova. Just thought I would share

doesn't bother me at all. if the music is good and his sincerity is clear, then it's just passionate, good music to me. it only bothers me when he condemns other people or gets too dogmatic, which in the big picture has been pretty infrequent.
