Are there links to these shows on this site? I was looking earlier and I didn't see them.

Ask Judea- at the Torah section.
-
Ask Yesha is in "Ask Posters Show Threads"
takes various questions largely on politics
Ask Judea is in the Torah Section. Really just for jews, he discusses Torah.

Chaim suggested I ask him some of my Torah questions so I don't know if it's ok after your post. Is the show just for Jews to ask questions? I have a lot of Bible questions that I haven't gotten around to asking.

That's fine..
Alot of the questions though will have answers that won't be relevant to you because of their coverage. As you would see just looking at them.
The answer to your question will be relevant to you, no prob in asking him.
People ask biblical questions sometimes.. No problem at all.
You can ask your questions, a max of 5. It's a good idea to ask them comsecutively so you don't have to jump around the audio to find them.

I'm always interested in learning more about different religions so even if it wouldn't be relevant to me if the questions looked interesting I'd probably listen to all of it.
I usually listen to all of Chaim's program.

Previous shows have had some complex questions.. This one may be of more interest to you than previous ones
judea's has areas of expertise that questions focus on, and the people questioning don't normally ask him about the basics. No harm in giving it a try.

I found a Web site a while back that claimed that there are two competing names for God in the Bible and one of them was supposedly stolen from the native canaanites and I'd like to ask about this Web site's claims (which I don't agree with) but I wanted to discuss them with someone so they could explain why they were wrong, but I don't think it'd be appropriate to actually say God's name on the forum because of the high respect that has to be shown to God's name. So I don't know how to phrase my question.

Rubystars.. Since you ask
this is largely because any translation completely loses the name of G-d that is used.
translations should really put the name used in brackets. But they don't.
the scholarly way of finding the meaning of any word studying all its uses. Through a concordance.
But with a translation you can't really do that seriously. Like looking for all occurrences of the word G-d, when a few hebrew words are used for it.
I haven't looked into it in depth myself, but apparently there tends to be one name used when G-d is showing mercy.. judgement. They denote various attributes.
These two sites may help.
The mechon-mamre site is very reliable.
based on core texts.
wikipedia is pretty good of course.
