Wikipedia Page for 'Yahweh' is a Battleground - Christian Thelolgy Bible History

Folks want to blabber of "lack of comtemporary evidence" knowing FULL WELL that....

1. Starting after Jesus' death, the Pharisees did everything possible to derail the growth of Christianity.

2. Manuscripts, at the least, have lasted through...

-the Roman destruction of Israel & other wars in the Middle East of the 1st / 2nd Century
-the 200+ years of Roman persecution of Christians and Hebrews that began with Nero
-the "trinitarian" changes made to the Bible beginning around Tertullian's time
-the invasions / expansion of Islam that began after Muhammad's death in 632 AD

3. Even the Jesus-hating Pharisees wrote about Jesus in the Talmud.

AND God fpake vnto Mofes fa- yng vnto him: I am the Lorde,
3 and I appeared vnto Abraham Ifaac and Iacob an allmightie God: but in my name Iehouah was I not ..."

Those who read Tyndale's translation when it was published understood that "i" before a consonant (as in "Ifrael" and "Ifaac") represented the "i" sound, and "i" before a vowel (as in "iudge," "Iacob" and "Iehouah") represented the "j" sound.
Although some of the letters in the English alphabet were invented in later centuries, the sounds that they represent existed from the earliest times.

[some]... use the invention of the letter "j" to argue that "Jehovah"
is an illegitimate spelling of the H3br3w name (jhvh).
They view
"Yahweh" as the only correct way to spell and pronounce the divine name.

They are completely ignoring the fact that the English letter "w"--used in the
name Yahweh--was invented two hundred years later than the first symbol
for "j".
In addition, the letters "a" and "h" were not invented until the 1500's.

Thus the same argument that they use against the name Jehovah could be
used even more strongly against "Yahweh." The spelling "Yahweh" was
impossible before 1500!'

YHVH YaHoVaH or YaHUaH or YaHWeH to pronounce in english.

U, V, W all represent the same h3br3w letter Vav.

V is oldest, then came the U, then came the double U or W. When reading old books, oftentimes the u's will be v's. I use YHVH as it is the oldest and most pure.

We also notice the h3br3w letter Vav has a numerical value of 6 (like roman numerals), so when they use www=666. Also if we look at the logo of Monster energy drink, we will see they use 3 vav symbols (666) as their logo, with the slogan "unleash the beast".

Wikipedia is a pile of garbage these days indeed OP, you are certainly correct.
