Message: Greetings in the name of the Only Begotten Son of the Living God
Interesting observation and not without merit. It is my understanding that the name Yah[u]-Shua[h] Ha Meshia[ch] bears the meaning of God (Y[a]H) our Salvation (Shua[h]) the (Ha) Anointed One (Meshia[ch]). Am I incorrect?
Perhaps it would be best to call Him what the angels pronounced at His coming - Immanuel (YHWH physically present with man).
May the Living God of Truth bring blessing and protection to you and yours until we write again.
May God Almighty bless you richly as you trust and obey Him more today!

Shalom Servant,
I can't answer your question unless you specifically identify the name you speak of with Hebrew letters. There are many Hebrew names that have meanings of safe, save, saved, heal, etc.. Yeshayahu is one (Yod Shin ayin yod hey waw), and means Yah has saved, but it does not mean to use it for the name of the Mashiach.
Shalom 2-elect

Message: Greetings, Yahushuah {aka Joshua} the son on Nun {eternity} led the obedient Israelites into the promised Land. when I was a baby, I called Him Jesus as a young man Yahshua as a father Yahushuah. 2-elect, per chance you study paleo-hebrew? Ever seen the tetragram in paleo? Quite an "eye opener". Paul..."though I have {the gift of} prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains {false govt.} and have not charity-Love...I am nothing".
He came in his Father's name, Yahu...Shuah. Yehoshua or such similar spelled name, was a reasonably common given name "back then". The dead letters help very little. He did tell Phillip that He was the Father! Yet again, He was sent by the Father, and returned to the Father. And Yahushuah's Father knew things that the firstborn son did not know. And He told the RICH MAN, that not even he was "good", but that reserved for The YHWH. If ye have a good Word for us, please feel free to say so. Otherwise, crumbling about over letters, is best left to the talmudists. What say ye? On this...one must have the sharpest of swords.

The numbers that Dr Strong gives for the name Yahushua are the numbers for the name Yashayahu, otherwise known as Isaiah in the English.

Hi Robert
Are you sayng you called the son of nun Jesus when you were a baby? His name rendered in English for Christians is Jesus.

If he came in his Father't name, then why did you open your post up defending the name "Yahushuah {aka Joshua} the son on Nun? Is the name of the Father Yahushuah?

Your argument is about the same as those who embrace the name Jesus. Can you do any better?

Hi one israelite
Why do you have a "u" after Yah in Yahushua, and in Yashayahu, yet have a "w" after Yah in Yahweh?
What you are really saying is the Fathers name is pronounced differently in the names of His people. But in reality this can not be. If you are going to call Him Yahweh, don't you think you should be consistant and call the Son Yahweshua and Isaiah Yashayahwe?

Shalom Again,
Well don't you think you should give that recognition to all other names that have Yod hey waw?
Why do you pronounce the "hey" at the end of YHWH as a "ay" sound, yet have a ah sound for the hey after Yod? (Yah) There are many witness that teach a hey after another hebrew letter is an "aw" sound. As in Yah (yod hey) and Yeshuah (yod shin waw ayin hey)

Message: Greetings brothers,
Would anyone of you please post where you got your first century self pronouncing dictionary of Hebrew/Aramaic so that I might obtain a copy and see first hand, by the authority of the Eternal, where it is written. Please don't point me to those publications written after B.C. 10. I would certainly be more convinced concerning this "po' tato", "pota' to" discussion.
I provide the following for your perusal and consideration. Pay particular attention to the part 6 and especially the last sentence in that part. While I don't consider this piece an authority either, I do believe that it makes a point worth consideration. quote:
Etymologicum Anglicanum or English Etymology. The Study of English Words Quoted from Kittel's Bible Key Words.
"3. The name Yahweh as a concept of experience." "The O.T. faith in God is grounded in historical experience and developed in continuos contact with history. The clearest expression of this fact is the use of the name Yahweh in speaking of, and calling upon, God. This name, like every name for God, is a concept of experience and as such, through its concrete and individual content, differs in degree from general concepts verging upon the abstract such as ''l, 'elôah, and 'elôhîm, and from the designation of honour ''~dh^n. It denotes not just any divinity, but a definite, unambiguous, divine person. It fills the terms "God" and "Lord" with so strongly numinous a content, that the final result is that it completely overshadows their general meaning, so that "God" is no longer an appellation of multifarious application and "Lord" comes to mean " the Lord of all ". The use of the name makes visible the essential and ineradicable features of the picture of God which is painted by the biblical tradition in the portrayal of the inner history of the people of God and the spiritual moulding of its religious leaders up to the inevitable showing forth of divine reality. The deeply-felt pathos, the searing honesty of O.T. piety, is rooted in the message about Yahweh, in whose clearly defined divine personality, in whose insistent will man finds a norm and criterion for life and the world, now cowering in a feeling of creaturely dependance before the Holy, now satiated with rapt gazing at the figure (Ps. xvii. 15) in whom all salvation lies guaranteed. "4. The Foundation of Moses."
Now, too, the "Wars of Yahweh" begin (Num. xxi. 14; I Sam. xviii. 17) wars which groups forming the backbone of the covenant league prosecuted in offensives, not always successful, against Canaanite communities. "Arise O Yahweh, that their enemies may scatter and they that hate thee flee before thee" (Num. x. 35); so runs the battle cry, when Yahweh's emblem is carried before, presumably the holy shrine as symbol of the presence of the God worshipped [*Psalm 97:7 "Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship him, all ye his angels (LXX)]. Victory is Yahweh's, defeat means Yaweh's wrath. "Who among the Gods is like unto thee, Yahweh? "6. The form and meaning of the name Yahweh."
In these circumstances it would be of great importance to know the original meaning of the name Yahweh, since from that, even though it should not have been always present to the minds of those who spoke and heard it, one could probably arrive at important conclusions about the root and original colour of the view of god entailed in the name. But there are difficulties in the tradition with regard to the mere form of the name which prevent us, or rather ought to prevent us, from reading the word in its full tonal form without the occurrence of objections. The Elephantine Papyri write YHW, for which—presumably in error— YHH is also found. YHW which also appears epigraphically, occurs in alternation with YW at the beginning of proper names. cf. Yeh^y~qîm, Y^''l, etc., at the end of names it alternates with YH, cf. ''liyy~hf, yesha'y~h, etc. It is not possible to be certain which of these form is the original. The earliest known is YHWH, which appears on the ninth century st'l' of king Mesha of Moab in old semitic script, which completely excludes the doubt which so easily arises in the square script about such ambiguous letters as YW and H. This combination of consonants admits neither of a fixed reading nor of an unambiguous interpretation, since even in the Masoretic text the vowels added to the tetragram vary and in any case show themselves to be a foreign addition to the word.
"7. The reasons for the reticence in using the name"
As a result of a revival of ancient dynamic modes of heathen thought which came perhaps to Judaism, through close contact with ceremonies of swearing allegiance, the feeling of distance was overcome, as may be seen in the Masoretes' treatment of the name of God and the use of sh'm by the Samaritans. {3} See the list in Driver, op. cit. p. 13, and also O. Eissfeldt, Z.A.W. (1935), pp. 65 ff. who, through Yehabhy~h in Jewish-Babylonian names of the seventh century A.D. (= YHWH) supports the interpretation of -jama as YHWH, and at the same time supposes a much longer survival of unrestrained pronouncing of the name Yahweh than hitherto accepted.
My apologizes if I offend anyone here. My Father knows of whom I speak when I use the terms Father, Eternal, Almighty God, etc. as does my Lord and Saviour, Yahushua, Yahoeshua, Jesus, the Christ, etc. Those that I speak to about these Deities also know if they are my brothers and sisters in and of Him.
May the Christ's peace be you all.

Message: Within this article there are four points about the Kodesh Name, which any believer in HaMashaich should consider. These points are facts that cannot be denied, but are ignored and justified in many different ways by teachers who ignorantly continue in traditions established by Satan. After reading this article ask yourself the following question "Is the name I embrace for salvation sound and according to Joel 2:32?" The facts within this article are as follows.
* 1. The Continuing Conspiracy of the Name. * 2. The Name of HaMashiach was given long before it was ever rendered in Greek. * 3. The Name of the HaMashiach is not from Yahushuah or any name from that name. * 4. Satan does not care what name you use as long as it has nothing to do with the prophecy Joel 2:32.
What many do not know is that there has always been a conspiracy to remove the Creators name from His people. This conspiracy is "Replace the Kodesh Name with a title or another name. The one behind the conspiracy is Satan. He was well aware that a day would come to pass and those who called on the Fathers Name would be given salvation.
* Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the LORD has said, Among the remnant whom the LORD calls.
The above scripture can be found in any Christian Bible. The way the scripture was translated, it does appear that a name would be used, but as you see the scripture does not show what name will be used to call on for salvation. However, a name was spoken within the prophecy and that same name was written for that passage of Scripture. A very important part of salvation (I.E.) "the Name YAHUAH" was removed from that prophecy and was replaced with a generic title know as "Lord." The name of the Father was also removed from other Scriptures and replaced with LORD around 7000 times. This conspiracy of removing the Creators name from His own words dates back to the Babylonian captivity and still continues today. This is why you do not have a name for the prophecy of Joel 2:32.
It was Satan's goal to make people forget the Creators name. This first began with the prophets of Baal.
* Jer 23:25-27 "I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in My name, saying, 'I have dreamed, I have dreamed!' "How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Indeed they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart, who try to make My people forget My name by their dreams which everyone tells his neighbor, as their fathers forgot My name for Baal.
As a time passed, the conspiracy continued with the Rabbinical Talmudist in Babylon. They added vowel points to YHWH?s name so that when His Word was read, YHWH's name would be pronounced as the title "Adoni." Any name with the form of YHWH's name which began with Yod Hey, was also altered with vowel points so that YAH's name would not be pronounced too. Names like Yahudah, Yahuzadak, Yahushua, Yahushaphat, and Yahuash were altered so that they all began with Ye-ho as in Yehovah and Yehoshua.
The Rabbinical Talmudist also made a law that forbid the Jews from pronouncing the Father's Name. This included a penalty of death by stoning. Satan was preparing for the day when the lost sheep would fulfill the prophecy of Joel. 2:32. However, Yahshuah was a step ahead of him and prepared his chosen apostles for the fulfillment of Joel 2:32
* John 17:6-7 "I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You.
* John 17:26 And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."
The Prophecy of Joel 2:32 came to pass just as Yahuah said it would and Yahuah's people began to call on His name "Yahuah" through the Name of Yahshuah HaMashiach -- the one who represented the Salvation of Yahuah. This began on what is known as the day of Pentecost. During this time, many different peope of many different cultures were in Yerusalem.
* Acts 2:5 And there were dwelling in Yerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
* Acts 2:9-11 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs--we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of Elohim.
After the Ruwach was given, Peter began to preach the name "Yahshuah HaMashiach." The visitors from every nation under heaven heard what name the Apostles preached for the Hebrew HaMashiach. It was verbally given to the assembly as the name of the Mashiach long before it was ever written in Greek. The people did not hear the name Iesous or Jesus that day. As the weeks passed Satan tried to make the people forget the Name again, but in a different way.
* Acts 4:17-18 But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name." And they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Yahshuah.
* Acts 5:28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Yerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
* Acts 5:40 And they agreed with him, and when they had called for the apostles and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Yahshuah, and let them go.
The enemy was relentless against the given Name of Yahshuah. As more years passed the believers who called on His name were persecuted. At that time if you did not want to be persecuted like those who were, you did not call on the Name. This is precisely the result Satan wanted and why people today do not know or use the real name ot the HaMashiach! The persecution against those who called on His name continued for as long as the leaders who were against Truth heard the name spoken. They identified those calling on the Name as believers in HaMashiach and bound them. Saul was used to carry out this judgment
* Acts 9:14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name."
The years passed, and we see from the following scriptures that Paul, who persecuted those who called on the name according to Joel 2:32, was struck down for what he was doing. The interesting thing is Yahshuah verbally spoke His name in Hebrew, even though Paul knew the Greek language. Paul heard the same name the believers embraced, but heard it from above and in Hebrew.
* Acts 26:14-15 And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.' "So I said, 'Who are You, master?' And He said, 'I am Yahshuah, whom you are persecuting.
Yahshuah spoke His name in Hebrew to one who was well learned in the Greek language and who was going to be an apostle among the Gentiles. There was no doubt in Paul's mind that the name he heard was the same name he was against, because he was persecuting those who were calling on that name. This is clear scriptural proof that the early assembly first embraced a Hebrew name for HaMashiach, including those who embraced the Greek Language.

Message: Does anyone have comments on Josephus' claim that the sacred name ("God's" name) was four vowels? (One of five refences is:)
"A mitre also of fine linen encompassed his head, which was tied by a blue ribbon, about which there was another golden crown, in which was engraven the sacred name [of God]: it consists of four vowels." The Wars of the Jews, Book 5 - FROM THE COMING OF TITUS TO BESIEGE JERUSALEM, TO THE GREAT EXTREMITY TO WHICH THE JEWS WERE REDUCED,Chapter 5 - A DESCRIPTION OF THE TEMPLE, paragraph 7.
Looking in various dictionary/encyclopedias, one can see that the paleo form of He became our letter "E." So, given that the Pharisee tradition is the only witness I know that the He represents an "H," what reason would I have to adopt it in pronouncing the ancient texts?

Message: The following article by brother John Joseph speaks to this subject much better than I can and expresses those concepts which I embrace. This is not meant to be an attack on anyone on these threads because of their beliefs, just an expression of my own. I could have changed the names used herein to those of Yahushua and Mashiach but that would only illustrate the frivolity of such an act and would not change the content one iota. All emphasis in the original.
A Sacred Name for God: Must it be used? written solely by the Grace of God in and through our Sovereign Lord and Saviour Jesus, the Christ, by John Joseph
In the past we have been criticized for not using the so-called "sacred name" for God in our writings and in our many discourses. To begin this discourse, we will call witnesses to bring their testimony as it has relevance. The Spirit of God through Brother John gave us a list of witnesses to call:
"This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one." 1 John 5:6-8.
Above are a total of four witnesses—three are one in essence; and, the other three agree with that essence being One. Note that the Spirit is both a Witness in heaven against ungodly men; and, a Witness for God in Christ Jesus to all men, regardless of race, religion, creed, ad nauseam; none of which are in Christ, nor can they trace their authority to Him. We will be consulting these Witnesses for their Testimony in this present work, for from them do we hear the Truth; and, not from the works of men, i.e., creeds, confessions, covenants, and articles of faith. The Spirit of God...
"…now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen." Romans 16:26-27.
"Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;…" Ephesians 3:5.
"God, Who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,…" Hebrews 1:1. Note that the testimony of the New Testament corroborates the testimony of the Old Testament for the Spirit of God changes not at any time:
"God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?" Numbers 23:19.
"God is not as man to waver nor as the son of man to be threatened; shall He say and not perform? shall He speak and not keep to His word?" Numbers 23:19 (LXX).
"And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for He is not a man, that He should repent." 1 Samuel 15:29.
"…and God will not turn nor repent, for He is not as a man to repent." 1 Samuel 15:29 (LXX).
"For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed." Malachi 3:6.
"For I am the Lord your God, and I am not changed." Malachi 3:6 (LXX).
This shows then that there can be no separation—both are contained in Christ, so to separate one from the other is to separate Christ. "Is Christ divided?" So we will be consulting the writings of the prophets for the Witness of the Spirit of God in looking toward the coming of Christ; and, we will be consulting the writings of the prophets of the New Testament in looking back to Christ. We have been led by our Sovereign Lord and Saviour Jesus, the Christ, to answer these criticisms and these critics, not by the wisdom of the world; but by the Power of the Word, that may be summed up by the Spirit as follows:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God." John 1:1 & 2. (Berry)
Christ's own Testimony corroborating the Spirit's Testimony is,
"I and My Father are one." John 10:30.
Note here that the Spirit speaking through Brother John never conveyed a sacred name, for to do so would divide the Testimony of one against the others. The bolded phrase in John 1:2 is the key to every act that every bondmen in and of Christ Jesus undertakes in His Name and by His Authority, for there is no Authority or Power superior to or antedating Christ. In Truth and in deed, it is written for us that,
"And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church: Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence." Colossians 1:17-18.
"All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made." John 1:3.
"O LORD, Thou art my God; I will exalt Thee, I will praise Thy name; for Thou hast done wonderful things; Thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth." Isaiah 25:1.
"O Lord God, I will glorify Thee, I will sing to Thy name for thou hast done wonderful things, even an ancient and faithful counsel." Isaiah 25:1 (LXX).
"Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing He judgeth those that are high." Job 21:22.
"Is it not the Lord Who teaches understanding and knowledge? and does not He judge murders?" Job 21:22 (LXX).
For our particular Cause here it demonstrates that Christ Jesus was in the beginning with God. This implies that there is a certain knowledge of God known to Christ alone before He showed Him to us. The veil was in place from the time of Adam's judgment to the dawn of Christ for it is written, to wit,
"…and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal Him." Luke 10:22.
"No man hath seen God at any time." 1 John 4:12.
"No man hath seen God at any time [*not Moses, not Abraham, none of the prophets]; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him." John 1:18.
Notice that we do not hear Moses declaring the Father for he never saw Him face to face. But Christ Jesus, being in the bosom of the Father, has both seen and declared Him. And the Word of His Testimony is recorded for us, to wit,
"Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?" John 14:8-9.
Now, in the above testimony, we do not hear or read of God instructing Christ to use the terms "Elohim," "Yahweh," "Jehovah," or "El-Shaddai" or other words that merely describe what is seen or heard in the outer court looking at the veil of the Law hiding the inner court, the activities of the Father for His Purposes taking place in the inner court. Names are always given by those to things of which they are not a constituent. For instance, if you do not belong to a certain kingdom, you are labeled or named by that kingdom to be of another kingdom. For example, Americans call those from the continent of Asia, Asians; from Africa, Africans; the ungodly calling bondmen of Christ, christians, ad nauseam. But if you are a constituent of a Kingdom, you do not name one in the same Kingdom any thing; but, you call them according to the relation between the two of you, i.e., brother, sister, father, mother. But Who establishes the relation? The Lawgiver,
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." Deuteronomy 6:5.
"For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them." Matthew 18:20.
"For whosoever shall do the will of My Father which is in heaven, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother." Matthew 12:50.
"If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us [*not perfected through someone's mere description of Him]." 1 John 4:12.
"Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the Law." Romans 13:8.
Love for Him is what is required—not the lust for the letters of a sacred name. We can say then, that if you use any names for God other than Abba Father, you are outside Him and not in Christ. This is seen when we read or hear of the Testimony of the Son about His Father, and the Father's Testimony of His Son, to wit,
"And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son: hear Him." Mark 9:7.
"And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son: hear Him." Luke 9:35.
The prophets wrote,
"Behold My Servant, whom I uphold; Mine elect, in Whom My soul delighteth; I have put My Spirit upon Him: He shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles." Isaiah 42:1. [This is confirmed at Matthew 12:18].
"Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go." Isaiah 48:17. [This is confirmed at Matthew 11:29].
Note Who's Word we are to hear and note that no euphonious words of men or Massoretic conjurations are mentioned. Also note Who is teaching us. Is there any one else who can take His place? In Truth, no. In fact Moses wrote the following testimony given by God our Father through Christ Jesus to him:
"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which He shall speak in My Name, I will require it of him." Deuteronomy 18:18-19.
"I will raise up to them a prophet of their brethren, like thee; and I will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them as I shall command Him. And whatever man shall not hearken to whatsoever words that prophet shall speak in My name, I will take vengeance on him." Deuteronomy 18:18-19 (LXX).
Christ's Testimony of the above reads,
"Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me. And ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life.…For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed Me: for he wrote of Me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My words?" John 5:39-40, 46-47.
Note carefully the bolded words. If you believe not Christ's Words, you have nothing in Him or God our Father. God our Father put the words Christ Jesus spoke to us in His mouth. These were not words that Christ Jesus spoke out of turn, or of His own will; but of the Will of Him Who sent Him. Let us now hear the Testimony of Christ Jesus Himself:
"Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father hath taught Me, I speak these things." John 8:28.
"And I know that His commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto Me, so I speak." John 12:50.
"Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works." John 14:10.
The prophets also wrote,
"For His God doth instruct Him to discretion, and doth teach Him." Isaiah 28:26.
Following this chain, there is and was no commandment given by God our Father, through His Son—His Word—our Sovereign Lord and Saviour Jesus, the Christ to call Him by any sacred name. Would God our Father teach lies to His Son? or would He teach His Son to lie to His Inheritance? or would He teach His Son to withhold access to Him through or by withholding a sacred name for God from us?
"God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged." Romans 3:4.
Would Christ Jesus be an obedient Son by withholding some key sacred name for God from us? The Spirit testifies,
"And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." Philippians 2:8.
Let us also consult with the woman at the well, who conversed with Christ Jesus, and her testimony is recorded to be,
"The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when He is come, He will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am He." John 4:25-26.
Has Christ Jesus told us all things? Is His Testimony True? We know His Testimony is True,
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." John 14:6. ...and therefore He has told us all things; and so those that deny He was and is complete condemn themselves. There is no thing that has not been revealed or manifested to us by, in and through Him. He bears witness,
"And He said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear." Mark 4:21-23. [Have you heard any of the so-called sacred names coming from His lips?]
"For I have given unto them the words which Thou gavest Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from Thee, and they have believed that Thou didst send Me.…I have given them Thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world." John 17:8 & 14.
Did God forget to give Christ Jesus some words? Did Christ Jesus forget to speak some words given by God? In and of Truth, no. What words did God or Christ Jesus forget? In and of Truth, none. You bear false witness otherwise. The next question is, does God, our Father, tell us to hear the voice of a liar? The Scripture is full of warnings and admonitions against hearing the voice of liars, but for our purposes it is sufficient to quote just one, for all three Witnesses in heaven being One declare:
"But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods [*attributes or activities are now god, and not His Eternal Power and Theiotes], even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously [marg. ref., arrogance]: thou shalt not be afraid of him." Deuteronomy 18:20-22.
So that we can say then, that because Christ is and was Sealed from the beginning, then we are to hear Him Whom God has Sealed and not those whom God has not sealed and who speak arrogantly—the sciolist, sophist, philosopher, theologian, theorician, knave, pietatus simulator, ad nauseam. The Son Whom we hear, the Father recognizes and declares by His Seal,
"Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for Him hath God the Father sealed." John 6:27.
The Seal of God not only is recognition of His Son, but also that His Testimony is True. There is no one else bearing this recognition unless he is a son of God. For one to be a son, however, means that there must be a Father Who has recognized His son and declared him to the world,
"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:…" Romans 8:16.
And likewise the son must bear witness of Who is his Father to the world. Again Romans 8:16 testifies to this very fact. The Spirit of God bearing witness with our spirit is a reciprocal flow: we bear witness of our Father, and He bears Witness of us. Without this reciprocal flow we are bastards, liars, thieves, and others who are not of His Righteousness and Kingdom. Christ Jesus bears witness of this in His Testimony given to Him by His Father,
"If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true." John 5:31.
"It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of Myself, and the Father that sent Me beareth witness of Me [*the Spirit of God beareth witness of Me with Me]." John 8:17-18.
"And in your law also it has been written, that of two men the witness is true. I am who bears witness concerning Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness concerning Me." John 8:17-18. [Berry].
Note again, no sacred name used.
Would God our Father witness one not His son to be His Son? Would God our Father, bear witness of a liar? Would He bear witness and seal the witness of one wilfully withholding the Truth? Additionally, a mere name can give no recognition, for it merely describes, has no Life in itself and gives no life. But God our Father can, and does,
"…as the Father hath life in Himself; so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself;…" John 5:26.
Another approach we take to this question of "the sacred name" for God involves the following manifestation at Calvary, which was also called Golgotha or "the place of the skull." This has tremendous impact in Law and in fact which we will show here. This seems to have been overlooked by those who demand that others partake of their private truth of using "the" sacred name only. Let us now read the testimony of the Glad Tidings given by the Spirit and recorded by Brother Matthew:
"And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;…" Matthew 27:51. See also Ezekiel 37.
Notice what was destroyed at the temple by the act performed at Golgotha, or "the place of the skull." The veil of necrotic dogma that existed in the minds of men was rent from top to bottom and men now had access to their Father through Christ Jesus. We read thus,
"By a new and living way [*not mere words sans Execution in Him], which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;…" Hebrews 10:20.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." John 14:6.
"For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures [*images, or shadows] of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:…" Hebrews 9:24.
Note that there is no access to God by a mere name for Him; but, to God our Father through Christ Jesus, the Son Whom the Father declared from before the foundation of the world. A mere name is insufficient in Law for establishing the inheritance in and of the son from the Father. It must be witnessed by the Father, and we have not found such a witness. The next thing we will mention here is the following Testimony of Christ concerning His Lawful execution of our Father's Will,
"Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." Matthew 5:17.
"Think not that I am come to abolish the Law, or the prophets: I come not to abolish, but to fulfil." Matthew 5:17. [Berry]
Note very carefully the testimony given. Christ Jesus did not come to destroy (or abolish) the Law, for in Him is the Law and the Law is His Image, not the image of a so-called sacred name. If He came to destroy it, it would have meant suicide. He came not to abolish or destroy the prophets, for that would have made them and the Spirit of our Father who spoke through them liars. The Scripture has been written from the beginning, and for Him to have destroyed the Law and the prophets would have made the Word of God of none effect—impotent—instead of Omnipotent. Could He be an obedient Son and destroy the Law of our Father's House? So let us look to the word of the prophets for why Christ Jesus always called God, Father (or in Aramaic, Abba), and commanded us to do the same:
"Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD [*see Jeremiah 31:33; Ezekiel 37]: neither shall it come to mind [*see Hebrews 8:6] neither shall they remember it [*see Luke 17:20]; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more [*types and shadows of ceremony are removed when Christ Jesus comes into the heart—see Hebrews 4:10, 7:22, 9:12 & 24]. At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination [marg. ref., stubbornness] of their evil heart. In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers. But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call Me, My father; and shalt not turn away from Me." Jeremiah 3:14-19.
Note carefully the bolded words. All the sacred names for God, all types and shadows, are contained in the Law and the Prophets. Note that what was mere shadow or type, i.e., a sacred name for God, will not be remembered any more because it was replaced with substance—by, in and through Christ Jesus:
"Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster." Galatians 3:24-25.
Did or has God, our Father, being our Lawgiver, establish(ed) that relation between us and Him through Christ Jesus? For Christ Jesus to have called God any name other than Abba—Father—would have meant He turned away from Him, an act of disobedience, for He would have violated the above command in Jeremiah 3:19. But He did not at any time turn away. If He had turned away, He could never have borne Witness of the Spirit in the prophets or executed the Law and Judgment written from the beginning; and, we would be the most miserable creatures, without hope, destitute of salvation, condemned forever. Note Christ's testimony directing us what to call God our Father:
"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name." Matthew 6:9.
When do we become a son joined to our Father? The answer is found in two places, first the Holy Spirit through Brother John declares,
"But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1:12-13.
and then through Brother Paul declares,
"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:…" Romans 8:16.
Therefore, claims that one "is saved" are frivolous without the witness of the Spirit of God. Do we join Him at our pleasure by our power or authority? Clearly the above Witnesses of the Spirit are contrary to such a flawed human doctrine. Do we become joined to our Father by use of a "sacred name" for Him known only to some? Again, clearly the contrary is witnessed by the Spirit. We are without any authority or power within ourselves to force God to do any thing for us. Only if the Spirit bears witness with our Spirit is it said we are the sons of God—not our own claims or the claims of others for us. Those that claim we must use a sacred name for God claim to have knowledge unknown or unrevealed to and in Christ, thereby bringing damnation upon themselves because they believe not the Testimony of our Father through and about His Son,
"But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given Me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of Me, that the Father hath sent Me. And the Father Himself, which hath sent Me, hath borne witness of Me. Ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape. And ye have not [marg. ref., not honored] His word abiding in you: for Whom He hath sent, Him ye believe not." John 5:36-38.
"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." Mark 16:16.
"Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on Me, believeth not on Me, but on Him that sent Me." John 12:44.
"Then said Jesus again unto them, I go My way [*the Way of Truth and Life], and ye shall seek Me [*in your darkness because you know not Me nor the Scriptures about Me], and shall die in your sins [*being filled with your own ungodliness]: whither I go, ye cannot come [*the gulf separating Life and Light from death and darkness is too great].…I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins [*because ye believe Me not—note Deuteronomy 18:18-19 and Ezekiel 3:18]." John 8:21 & 24.
The Spirit, speaking through Solomon, also bearing witness,
"Turn you at My reproof [*"Repent: for the Kingdom of God is at hand…"]: behold, I will pour out My Spirit unto you, I will make known My words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out My hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all My counsel, and would none of My reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon Me, but I will not answer; they shall seek Me early, but they shall not find Me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: They would none of My counsel: they despised all My reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices." Proverbs 1:23-31.
"Behold, I will bring forth to you the utterance of My breath, and I will instruct you in My speech. Since I called, and ye did not hearken; and I spoke at length, and ye gave no heed; but ye set at nought My counsels, and disregarded My reproofs; therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against you when ruin comes upon you; yea when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and your overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you. For it shall be that when ye call upon Me, I will not hearken to you: wicked men shall seek Me, but shall not find Me. For they hated wisdom, and did not choose the word of the Lord: niether would they attend to My counsels, but derided My reproofs. Therefore shall they eat the fruits of their own way, and shall be filled with their own ungodliness." Proverbs 1:23-31 (LXX).
The use of a sacred name for God is not a commandment given by God through Christ Jesus; but, is a doctrine of self-aggrandizing men who have not the corroborating Witness of the Spirit of God—Judaizers—who,
"Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law." Romans 2:17-20
"Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness [*type or shadow (morphosis)], but deny the power thereof." 2 Timothy 3:4-5.
and in the same passage by the Spirit we are counselled,
"…from such turn away."
Remain in fullness of faith in and to our Sovereign Lord and Saviour Jesus, the Christ, for He bears Witness,
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him." John 13:16.
And, by the Grace of God, our Father, all called by Him will hearken to His Name, Amen.

Message: For most Christians, the name does not matter because Christian leaders have not taught them how important the name is. They don't even care that the Creator's name (Tetragrammaton) has been replaced with the simple title "Lord" over 7,000 times in the traditional bibles that they have been taught from and use. They even refuse immersion into the name of whom they call "Jesus" for the Trinity title immersion, which has no meaning. Yet the Apostle Paul, whose teachings they say they follow, taught about correct immersion in the name of Yahshuah to assure that believers received the Ruwach HaKodesh, (Acts:19:1-6), which proves that salvation for a believer is not complete until they have been immersed into the name of "Yahshuah." Christian leaders and Christians completely ignore these facts and call it heresy if one is immersed into the name only and not into the Trinity doctrine. Yet not one believer in Yahshuah was immersed into the Trinity doctrine according to the scriptures. Scriptural immersion is another issue that needs to be addressed and restored in order for people to have salvation. For a few, the name of the Mashiach has become a very important issue and a important part of their lives because they understand that the scriptures teach that the name is very important for the life of a believer. They also understand that there was only one name given for use in salvation which identifies the true Mashiach and that belief in this name is as important as the belief in the Mashiach.
* Matt 12:21 And in His name Gentiles will trust.
* John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of Elohim, to those who believe in His name:
* John 2:23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs, which He did.
* John 3:18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of Elohim.
* John 20:31 But these are written that you may believe that Yahshuah is the Mashiach, the Son of Elohim, and that believing you may have life in His name.
* Acts 3:16 And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith, which comes through Him, has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
* Acts 4:12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we must be saved."
* Phil 2:9 Therefore Elohim also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name ,
* 1 John 3:23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Yahshuah Mashiach and love one another, as He gave us commandment.
As I said, most Christians could care less about the Mashiach's name, yet the scriptures clearly teach they are supposed to not only believe in the Mashiach, but they also must believe and trust in his name. Most of the problems come from Christian leaders who have not taught the scriptures correctly. Therefore, they do not understand the scriptures when it comes to the issue of the Name. Since the issue of the Name has come to light, these Christian leaders teach their followers that belief in His true Name is not important for salvation. Belief in Christ is all you need, they say. Yet their argument does not hold up according to scripture. Here is an example why.
Christian leaders and teachers teach sinners that they have to believe the words of John 3:16 or they are going to go to hell for not believing so!
* John 3:16: For Elohim so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Christian leaders teach that sinners have to believe in Mashiach to have salvation and say we have to believe in a specific Messiah to be saved and they use John 3:16 to teach this. The scripture is the final authority. Therefore, we have to believe in the Mashiach that was given by Yahuah. But, Christian leaders stop there and do not continue to teach the next few scriptures of John's writings. Again, the scripture is the final authority. John 3:16 teaches that a person needs to believe in who the Mashiach is and John 3:18 teaches that believing is also believing in His Name, lest we be condemned already!
* John 3:18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of Elohim.
Christian leaders teach John 3:16 to sinners, and some say "I don't think I have to believe on a specific Mashiach to be saved. God knows my heart." But the scripture they teach to them condemns them if they do not believe in a specific Mashiach. Yet, when you teach Christian leaders John 3:18, they say just about the same as a sinner would who rejects a specific mashiach. Belief in HaMashiach's Name can also be understood with Acts 4:12 and Phil 2:9.
Yahuah gave the Mashiach from above for us to believe in. He also gave the name of the Mashiach from above for us to believe in, which is just as important as the person of the Mashiach. Therefore, it is not even a language issue because the name given for salvation is not of this world. We are to study the scriptures to understand the person and need for the Messiah, yet Christian leaders do not teach the people to study the scriptures to understand the name and the need for it. Yet, the scriptures are very clear and teach that we must also believe in His Name lest we be condemned. Therefore they are not teaching the true Evangel as it was given.
The scriptures are clear and Joel 2:32 shows us what name would be used for salvation. Please understand that it was not the name "Jesus" that was replaced and masked with LORD. But it was the Name Yahuah. If the name Jesus was replaced with LORD, then the following scripture would actually translate as follows.
* Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of Jesus shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As Jesus has said, Among the remnant whom Jesus calls.
Neither Joel or Peter quoted the name Jesus in their prophecy under the anointing. YHWH (Yod-Hey-Waw-Hey) does not transliterate to "Jesus" in any form. But what was original said is as follows:
* Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of Yahuah Shall be saved . For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, as Yahuah has said, Among the remnant whom Yahuah calls.
If the name Jesus is of the Father's name then why can we not find it in the Old Testament Manuscripts? YHWH (Yod-Hey-Waw-Hey) does not transliterate to "Jesus." There is no "J", gee, ee, soos, sus, zus, us, sound in Yod-Hey-Waw-Hey.
There is no "J" sound in Hebrew, so the closest possibility of the rest of the name Jesus, being the "sus" part in Hebrew would be the following.
* OT:5483 cuwc (soos); or cuc (soos); from an unused root meaning to skip (properly, for joy); a horse (as leaping); also a swallow (from its rapid flight): KJV - crane, horse ([-back, -hoof]). Compare OT:6571.
Now, please do not be offended, I am not saying that the name "Jesus" means "Horse," I am just saying the name "Jesus" is not only full of holes, but it is full of major holes.
The fact of the matter is that belief in the Mashiach is a type of return to the garden of Eden (return to Yahuah), but Satan is back also and he is offering a different name (fruit)! If Adam and Eve had believed in Yahuah's word, they would not have taken the other fruit. The "Tetragrammaton" with the sounds of salvation within the name is the only Name we should believe in and use for salvation. However, Satan has introduced the forbidden fruit for the Evangel, such as Lord, Jesus, Iesous and made the people think, if you partake of these names you shall not die but live! The man is a liar!
When the point is made to Christian leaders that they need to believe and teach His true name, they will give the excuse that Paul wrote the Mashiach's name in Greek as Iesous. Yet, they don't even use the name Iesous, which proves that they don't even care to use the name they think Paul used. There are no original writings of Paul that exist anyway! Assumptions are not facts!
The point is that if one does not believe in John 3:18 also, they are not a true believer and have been deceived with a name that came from sinful man. The name Jesus came about around 450 years ago for the English language! Before then it was, ye-sous and before then it was ye-sooce, but none of these names is the Tetragrammaton with the sounds of salvation within the name!

Message: Greetings: Some verifications of what has already been said:
“…the true pronunciation of devine names was carefully hidden from the uninitiated multitudes." ...from A.H. Sayce in his writing "Religion of the Ancient Babylonians," page 4.
For centuries men believed that the Tetragrammaton [four letters] were consonants. We now know that they are instead semi-vowels, or vowel/consonants similar to our letters “w” and “y,” i.e. [that is (to say)] they may be either vowels or consonants, depending upon how they are used. Some have stated that there are no vowels within the Hebrew alphabet but here are four learned witnesses that say otherwise.
Introductory Hebrew Grammar by R. Laird Harris states; “Four of the Hebrew letters [yodh, he vau, aleph]…are called vowel letters.”
The Beginners Handbook to Biblical Hebrew by Marks and Rogers and How the Hebrew Language Grew by Horowitz report also that the letters yodh, he vau, aleph are Hebrew vowel-consonants.
One thing we find interesting is that when vowel pointings are added to these semi-vowels they become consonants which is, perhaps, WHY men thought they were consonants for centuries.
And finally, to reiterate what Walter has already posted, the first century Jewish priest and historian Josephus, while discussing the garment of the high priest described in Exodus 28:1-43 makes this comment:
“His (the priest’s) head was covered by a tiara of fine linen, wreathed with blue, encircling which was another crown, of gold, whereon there were embossed the sacred letters, to whit, FOUR VOWELS…” [Emphasis added]
And the Sacred Name of Yahweh is made up completely of these vowels, yodh, he, vau, he [yod, hay, waw, hay] just as Josephus tells us. Hebrew linguists tell us that when four vowels occur together the word created by this will have three syllables, thus the Creator’s Name would be pronounced yah-oo-ay or yah-oo-ah’ and not merely yah-way. This is important since a name is not the letters that make it up but rather the sound of it.
We also have some evidence which shows that the true pronunciation was never lost but that information is not available at this moment. We will try to retrieve it and some other evidence we may have concerning the Set Apart name of YaHuWeH.
One of the reasons for the tremendous efforts that have been put out over the ages to destroy the name of the Supreme Sovereign may be found in this Maxim of Law:
Nomina si nescis perit cognitio rerum. If you know not the names of things, the knowledge of things themselves perishes. Co. Litt. 86.
This too, may the reason be why the Iewes claim to have killed God silently in the night, and no one even noticed. By destroying the name they would have effectively destroyed the knowledge of the Creator Himself.

Hi DJ
If what the author said is true then why do your leaders use the following scriptures to establish your churches?
Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the LORD has said, Among the remnant whom the LORD calls.
Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved.'
Rom 10:13 For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved."
Please remember that the Kodesh name use to be in those scriptures before your leaders broke the third commandment and replaced it with the generic title LORD.
Did Peter and Paul remember to use the Kodesh name when they quoted Joel? Was Peter and Paul led by the Spirit?
Please tell me are the scriptures above a commandment that would put one into the assemblly of Messiah? Please remember what was originally in that prophecy.
What the author has said flys in the face of the scriptures above. The scriptures above are a part of the foundation of Yahshuah's assembly and continues today. And the Kodesh name is a part of it. Those scriptures shoot a big hole in the authors justification for not using the Kodesh Name.

PS: Since a sacred name for God, will not be remembered any more because it was replaced with substance by, in and through Christ Jesus: then you use the unsacred name "Jesus Christ," for he is god the son and existed before NT times, correct?

Message: Greetings brother Dani'el: Peace be unto you. A question: A wise man once said, regarding names, that what one creates, one has authority over. With that in mind we give you this: Random House, Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, copyrighted 1997, pg. 1027:
Je·su…n. Literary, Jesus. [1150 – 1200; ME < LL Iesu, obl. (orig. voc.) form of Iesus < Gk Iesou; see JESUS]
Je·sus…[1200 – 1250; ME < LL Iesus < Gk Iesous < Heb Yeshua’, syncopated var. of Yehoshua…Jesus finally supplanted the older form in both nom. and obl.]
We now go to Webster’s 1828 Dictionary to find out exactly what “syncopated var.” means:
SYN'COPATE, v.t. [See Syncope.] To contract, as a word, by taking one or more letters or syllables from the middle.
So from this little exercise we find that a syncopist [a liar with a pen in his hand] removed either one or more letters or syllables from the middle of His Hebrew Name and then apparently somewhere between 1150 and 1250 the names Jesu and Jesus were invented, and eventually supplanted His True Name!
If, in fact, these names were created or at least were first used between 1150 and 1250 A.D., how could they be in the original Scripture? If we look at the etymology of the name JESUS we see that it "apparently" evolved from a syncopated variation of the name Yahushua [Yehoshua]. The next question would be, who created or used that name, JESUS, since if one were to use that name as their Head, the creator of that name would have authority over the one(s) using it, would he not?
Did you know that Noah Webster, in his 1828 Dictionary of American English, did not include a definition for the name JESUS? Wonder why that is? He included a definition of the name JEHOVAH.
One more thing we should like to ask you is, why do you not ever mention the name JEHOVAH, which by the way is the Latin spelling of the name Yahuah? The J was an I as in the 1611, pronounced like our Y, and the V, as you no doubt know, is what we call today a U.
With only slightly more investigation we find that the letter “J” is a recent addition to the English language. “J. This letter has been added to the English Alphabet in modern days [circa 1500]; the letter I being written formerly in words where J is now used.” Webster’s 1828 Dictionary
To put it plainly, there is no way that He could have been named JESUS unless of course His parents named Him nearly one thousand five hundred years after His nativity!!!
And we leave you with this thought: Yasha'yahu [Isaiah] 52:6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
Perhaps this is the reason the Anointed One said: Yahu'chanan [John] 17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world...
Thank you in advance, dear brother. We pray this finds you and yours well and happy.

The same man may be called by many different appellations or have exact same appellation as another man but each man is know for what he is. Appellations are mostly for introducing a stranger to a stranger or what men give to other men they desire to rule over. If the appellation puts me in touch with who I am trying to make contact at that time each may speak for himself.
Does in the name of the King refer to the appellation given the man or the authority of the office. By what name does a 4 month old child know its mother?

Is there really any one of us who doesn't know that the names have been monkeyed with by the creature [man]? For crying out loud, Noah Webster knew this way back in 1828 A.D. "LORD ...When Lord, in the Old Testament, is printed in capitals, it is the translation of JEHOVAH, and so might, with more propriety, be rendered." PROPRIETY ...Fitness; suitableness; appropriateness; consonance with established principles, rules or customs; justness; accuracy. Propriety of conduct, in a moral sense, consists in its conformity to the moral law.. Easton's Bible Dictionary Lord There are various Hebrew and Greek words so rendered. (1.) Heb. Jehovah, has been rendered in the English Bible Lord, printed in small capitals. This is the proper name of the God of the Hebrews. If this is "the proper name of the God of the Hebrews", what is the proper name of the God of the Christians? Do they have a different god? And Mosheh [Moses] did talk face to face with Yahweh or Scripture is not truth. Exodus 33:11 And #H3068 spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend.

Message: Greetings brothers,
Again, no offense intended. Since we have decided to quote maxims then we should consider these.
"Nomina sunt symbola rerum—Names are the symbols of things." Bouvier's Law Dictionary (1914), "Maxim," p. 2149. "Nomina sunt notae rerum—Names are the marks of things." Bouvier's Law Dictionary (1914), "Maxim," p. 2148. "Nomen est quasi rei notamen—A name is as it were a note of a thing." Bouvier's Law Dictionary (1914), "Maxim," p. 2148.
Names, in general, are given by men to things that are subject to them to mark or note them. They are fictions, and not Truth.
The importance of this cannot be stressed enough. In every one of the above maxims of law, the name always refers to a "thing" or "things." Is the Father a thing? Is the Christ a thing?
There is and was no command anywhere in the Scripture given by the Eternal to call Him by any sacred name. We do not hear or read the Eternal instructing anyone to use the terms 'Elohim', 'Yahweh', 'Yashua', 'Jehovah', 'El-Shaddai', 'Adonai'', 'Ha-Shem', 'Adoshem', 'Abba,' or other words that merely describe the Eternal. Everywhere in His Word, love for Him is what is required by Him; nowhere in His word are we told to lust after sacred letters of a sacred name.
Our Lord and Saviour, the Christ, said when we pray, we are to pray to "our Father." He did not use or insist that we use a "sacred" name.
Consider this. By exclusively using a "sacred" name, you are saying you are a stranger to the Eternal. It's like your dad telling you that he won't hear you unless you address him by his "personal" name. A dad doesn't say to his children, "Don't call me dad, call me John." Loving fathers don't say things like that to their children. Likewise, Almighty God is our Father, and we are His children, and He requests only that we call Him 'Father.' "Father" is how the Christ called to Almighty God, and it was additionally used throughout the law, the prophets, and the psalms, for instruction: "Wilt thou not from this time cry unto Me, My father, Thou art the guide of my youth?" Jeremiah 3:4 "…Thou shalt call Me, My father; and shalt not turn away from Me." Jeremiah 3:19
"He shall cry unto Me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation." Psalms 89:26
"Doubtless Thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: Thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; Thy name is from everlasting." Isaiah 63:16
"Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us?" Malachi 2:10
If a name is written, does it mean we should call Him only by such a name? Is the meaning of it more important than the written name itself? This is one meaning of God's name and how it is called:
"And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God." Revelation 19:13
We see that if one really desires to know the Eternal's "sacred" name, they must first know the Word of God, and do His Will and obey His Law. This is our Father's command for all of us. He does not command us to exclusively call Him by any "personal" name, but to keep His Word! That is truly keeping His name "sacred."
Peace brothers.

So, am I to presume that those that use the more prevalent English version of YHWH [i.e. God, Jehoshua, Jesus, Jehovah] are blasphemers? Is that your charge? I am just trying to understand, because if my relationship with Father is in jeopardy then I surely want to make amends and repent.
I have shown clearly from the Scriptures that there is no commandment from the Eternal that we are to use a "sacred" name. If I am wrong then please instruct me, using Scripture to verify Scripture.
From Vincent's Word Studies of the New Testament:
Jesus (Ihsou~n). (Yehowshuwa) The Greek form of a Hebrew name, which had been born by two illustrious individuals in former periods of the Jewish history — Joshua, the successor of Moses, and Jeshua, the high-priest, who with Zerubbabel took so active a part in the re-establishment of the civil and religious polity of the Jews on their return from Babylon. Its original and full form is Jehoshua, becoming by contraction Joshua or Jeshua. Joshua, the son of Nun, the successor of Moses, was originally name Hoshea (saving), which was altered by Moses into Jehoshua (Jehovah (our) Salvation) (Numbers 13:16). The meaning of the name, therefore, finds expression in the title Savior, applied to our Lord (Luke 1:47, 2:11; John 4:42).
Why doesn't this example carry just a much weight as Noah Webster?
Peace brothers.

Why do you use Dios the name of Greek god, for the Father? The greek name for Zeus? and Yet reject His true Name?????
They have also given Yahuah the name of "Zeus" as a replacement for His title of Elohim in the translations of many bibles for other languages. I must ask, "Who has inspired these translators to give the name of a Greek deity to Yahuah, and why would Christian leaders continue to teach such lies?"
* NT:2203 Zeus (dzyooce); of uncertain affinity; in the oblique cases there is used instead of it a (probably cognate) name Dis (deece), which is otherwise obsolete;
* Zeus or Dis (among the Latins, Jupiter or Jove), the supreme deity of the Greeks: KJV-Jupiter.
* Zeus {Diós Dio\ Interlinear Transliterated Bible (Interlinear Transliterated Bible. Copyright (c) 1994 by Biblesoft)
Dis, Dios, Dio, Deus, Diyos, Dieu, Zeus, are transliterated names for the Greek deity Dios. These names are used in six different translations for six different languages to represent the Creator of mankind. Salvation did not come from the Greeks, correct? So why are the people of six different languages using the name of a Greek god to express who the Father is? What is wrong with this picture? Here are people from many languages of the world using the Greek name of Zeus to represent a Hebrew Elohim, yet none of the people are Greek. Zeus is the English name for the Greek deity Dios.
Why have most people of many different languages who are not even Greek been given the name of a Greek deity to represent a Hebrew Elohim? Again; what is wrong with this picture? The scriptures below are from translations of Bibles in languages from all over the world. Please note that in all of these languages the transliteration of "Israel" remains the same in all of the translations, but they reject the Hebrew Name given by Yahuah, for a generic title.
* English: (Jesus Christ) Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, Luke 1:68 KJV
* Français (Jésus Christ) Luke 1:68 Béni soit le Seigneur, le Dieu d'Israël, De ce qu'il a visité et racheté son peuple
* Deutsch (Jesu Christi,) Luke 1:68 Gepriesen sei der Herr, der Gott Israels , daß er sein Volk angesehen und [ihm] Erlösung geschafft hat.

* Norsk (Jesu Kristi) Luke 1: 68 Lovet være Herren, Israels Gud , han som så til sitt folk og forløste det!
* Portugues (Jesus Cristo) Luke 1: 68 "Louvado seja o Senhor, o Deus de Israel, porque visitou e redimiu a seu povo.
* Español (Jesucristo) Luke 1: 68 Bendito el Señor Dios de Israel, Que ha visitado y hecho redención á su pueblo,

* Tagalog (Jesucristo) Luke 1: 68 Sinabi niya: Purihin ang Panginoon, ang Diyos ng Israel sapagkat dumating siya at tinubos ang kaniyang mga tao.
* Nederlands (Jezus Christus} Luke 1: 68 "Prijs de Here, de God van Israël. Hij heeft Zijn volk bezocht en gered. (Webster's Dictionary for Zeus is also Zus.)
Even in the Old Testament they associate the Father with the name Zeus. The Spanish translation of the Old Testament has Dios associated with a perverted translation of Yahuah's name.

In order to be a citizen of another nation one must swear an oath of allegiance to that nation thus estranging himself/herself from any other nation. Just something to think about while we ponder the "sacred name".

My parents called my name Clarence and those who do not know me hear or see that name and identify me as a person bearing the the image of a man.

"And they shall PUT MY NAME UPON the children..."
Quite a flurry of posts have been made since I looked at this last night. There are so many varied and strong points of view of the issue that I have to wonder, like on baptism, like on the calendar, that maybe the true, aka sacred, name of our Father must be important.
I feel I should make known my opinion that the article by John Joseph is garbage and that he should be taken out and flogged for mis-using scripture, imho, to terrify rather than to edify. John Joseph points out that Jesus doesn't use our "God's" true name but then points out that one would not use such a name of distinction if one were included in the meaning of that name. Well, Jesus is God, Father is God, so Jesus would never use God's name (in New or *Old* Testament references) when speaking to His Father. He also somehow neglects to understand (as has been pointed out already) that the English rendering of "Lord" when refering to God is in fact a changing of that sacred name. Sacred not in the sense of magical but in the sense that it is used for the one true God.
"God" is a generic term which, because we've "lost" the original name, we captialize and use to designate our Father. We might as well use the greek "theos" which is used in the NT and the Septuagint. What can be wrong with desiring to know God's true name?? I understand that a name is a fiction of a sort, since a name can never truly describe anyone - and especially not the Creator -, but we all have names we go by and without them ... well, how do we talk with each other? All words are this way. Yet words have power, as we all know, Jesus Christ is the Word of God, a title showing the importance of words, even ours.
Matthew 28:19* Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Jesus commanded baptism in the name of "God," refering to the three. While I believe it is not *required* to know and use that name - especially since we don't really know it -, how can one say seeking it is evil? We just speak like Jesus did: "in the name of ...", probably knowing that the true name would have been expunged by evil men, may I add. I believe the name can be deduced from scripture, despite, as I believe, that it has been altered.
I'll agree that the many opinions of the name and those insisting only theirs MUST be used constitutes a form of idolatry. But as a generally used name, understanding that a name is just a way to refer to some one or some thing, I think one is as good as another. But I also agree that it is good to avoid names proveably rooted in the names of pagan dieties.
Somehow the name originally known to Adam ..Noah .. Abraham .. Isaac .. Jacob .. Moses and others has been "lost." They knew the name, what the tetragration was and how it was pronounced. But we are required to seek it out if we want to know it. How can anyone fault another for that? We now call God our Father (another generic name, fwiw) as upon our baptisms and ressurections we are HIs children, but when speaking to others and in public setting, I feel the true, historically used, written name should be used if known. (Numbers 6:23-27 as an example.) (Though thinking one knows it and really knowing are, as we all know, different things.)
I personally believe the name is only vowels, four distinct vowels, that sound like Yahweh when the listener is unattentive: IAUE (pure vowels, as in Spanish). I can't prove this yet, and I certainly won't beat on anyone to adopt my belief and insist only the name as I believe it be used. But we must realize that enemies have had much time to lay down false tracks. I view the search for all truth and the continual re-examination of one's beliefs a "Godly" goal; this includes seeking God's true name. Don't you all?

Message: Brothers Walter, onisraelite, et. al.,
With the exception of your opinion of brother John Joseph, (only because I know him personally and know his heart and his conviction in and to the Christ) I concur with your last post one hundred percent. I was trying to express that we can only rely on the vain attempts of man, because the name has been "lost", through his dictionaries and expositors, to describe that which is indescribable. I am not trying to cast aspersions upon anyone for their calling upon Father by whatever name they believe to be used. I have been before times accused upon these various threads, not this particular thread, of being too rigid in my views, and I am trying to determine that if others perceive this, perhaps it is a failing on my part to truly understand the content and context of what I perceive to be our Fathers intent. I will add only that, like brother John Joseph, when others present the idea that there is only one proper Name or form of worship of the Eternal, that, to me at least, smacks of Phariseeism. Am I wrong; wasn't that the very thing that the Christ spoke concerning them? Have I just misunderstood the original context of this thread? Brothers, help me out here.
May His peace be upon you.

Hi DJ
If what the author said is true then why do your leaders use the following scriptures to establish your churches?
Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the LORD has said, Among the remnant whom the LORD calls.
Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved.'
Rom 10:13 For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved."
Please remember that the Kodesh name use to be in those scriptures before your leaders broke the third commandment and replaced it with the generic title LORD.
Did Peter and Paul remember to use the Kodesh name when they quoted Joel? Was Peter and Paul led by the Spirit?
Please tell me are the scriptures above a commandment that would put one into the assemblly of Messiah? Please remember what was originally in that prophecy.
What the author has said flys in the face of the scriptures above. The scriptures above are a part of the foundation of Yahshuah's assembly and continues today. And the Kodesh name is a part of it. Those scriptures shoot a big hole in the authors justification for not using the Kodesh Name.

Message: Greetings in the name of the King brothers and sisters: Peace be unto the house. There are some things we find intriguing about this subject. In the preface of one edition of virtually every "version" [changing] of the Scriptures that we have seen, there is the information that the sacred name has been supplanted by the generic title "the Lord". If we can agree on this one fact, then we have to ask ourselves this question: If the sacred name is not important, why did the adversary make such an all out effort to erradicate it? And again, if this is true, then the Creator inspired His sacred name into His Set Apart Word nearly 7,000 times in the Old Testament alone, couldn't we assume from this fact that His name was very important to Him? Forget what "we" think, What does "He" think? His Will be done...that is the important thing. Notice here in Revelation 16:9 that they don't blaspheme God Himself, they blaspeme the name of, the name belonging to, God. "And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory." Paul tells us that in heaven and in earth "there be gods many, and lords many..." If this Scripture is truth, then how can we give Him glory by these titles that are held by MANY? Now, if [biggest two letter word in the English language], if we can all agree that ba'al means lord... Easton's Bible Dictionary Baal Lord. ...let us put that word in place of Ba'al in these verses of the Scripture and see what we come up with. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Lord. IS THIS NOT WHAT HAS HAPPENED? Isn't prophecy fulfilled by our doing just that??? The ineffable name doctrine is a "Jewish fable" and are we not told to give no "heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth"? "In the Talmud we find instructions that the Name was 'to be hidden,' and in another place we read, 'to be kept secret,' and again, 'disguising it'." Again, we are not to give heed to Jewish fables!! Could it be that those of us who claim the Set Apart [holy] Scripture [bible] as our Law and use it to defend our position are afraid to use the sacred name of our King because it is no longer in the " vulgar translations" made by the hands of men? Would this be akin to being ashamed of Him? Is this what you meant, Manuel, by posting that verse of the Scripture that you posted? We are told by some that "the paperwork" won't work using the sacred name(s)...then PERHAPS your paperwork is faulty. PERHAPS you will win the battle and gain many followers...and then lose the war. I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. Have we PERHAPS done just that? Here is just a small sampling, with the sacred name put back in, where the pens of the lying scribes have removed it, just to see if we can get a feel for the Will of Yahweh. And in that day shall ye say, Praise Yahweh[#H3068], call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted. Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate. O give thanks unto Yahweh [#H3068]; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto 'Elohiym, sing praises to his name: extol [exalt] him that rideth upon the heavens by his name YAH [#H3050], and rejoice before him. Glory ye in his holy [sacred] name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek Yahweh[#H3068]. So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy [sacred] name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am Yahweh [#H3068], the Holy [Sacred] One in Israel. And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
Just a few intriguing thoughts to ponder; Because I will publish the name of Yahweh[#H3068]: ascribe ye greatness unto our 'Elohiym.

Message: oneisraelite, I greet you, In Him, whom has comforted me through many struggles and tribulations, and whom has given me strength, joy, and whom has wiped tears from my eyes which at times flow with sadness, when I remember and bare the conscequences of my sins, then constantly through His Love and witnessing the sacrifice His Son left for us all as a steady keel, His seed which ever grows In me.
Maybe it is difficult for me to explain the ways I see Him, feel Him, taste Him and therefore tell you all Of Him. Yet He is tasteless, I taste Him. Yet He is odorless, I smell Him. Yet He is not visible, I see Him, yet He is silent, I hear Him and being blinded, I see Him.
When I posted these words, alone, "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven," I did not know it would have caused so much offense.

Message: Brother oneisraelite;
Peace be unto you and your house. Let us start again with your last post. I purpose that we take one step at a time to resolve the questions that are raised in my mind. Having said that, and believing that you will concur, let me start with this: quote: In the preface of one edition of virtually every "version" [changing] of the Scriptures that we have seen, there is the information that the sacred name has been supplanted by the generic title "the Lord". If we can agree on this one fact, then we have to ask ourselves this question: If the sacred name is not important, why did the adversary make such an all out effort to erradicate it?
Now as I see this statement, it is your position that this replacing or supplanting of the sacred name was done by and under the direction of our Adversary. This raises two questions in my mind. One: Why would our Father, YHWH, allow such a gross distortion of His Name and Word, knowing that millions would be lead astray? And; Two: What is your evidence of such an act? I ask this only because this presupposition lends itself to all other facets of this topic.
Jehovah-shalom.

Message: Greetings dear brother Dani’el Yahu’aqob: Peace be to you. We first wish to state that it is an honour and a privilege to have communion with one who has sacrificed so much for the restoration of the Kingdom, and we thank you. You state: “Now as I see this statement, it is your position that this replacing or supplanting of the sacred name was done by and under the direction of our Adversary.”
Our answer is this: Yahweh was well aware that this would occur as He tells us: How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Lord [Ba’al]. Easton’s Bible Dictionary Baal Lord. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith Yahweh [#H3068] of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Obvious from this last line, that He knew it full well! You ask: “One: Why would our Father, YHWH, allow such a gross distortion of His Name and Word, knowing that millions would be lead astray?” And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Answer: Because that is what they choose, just like the “young man” who, when he heard the truth from Yahushua Himself, “went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.” Like Esau, they perceive no value in Him, or His Kingdome, and will sell their inheritance for a mess of pottage. You ask: “What is your evidence of such an act?” Answer: Aside from the above Scriptures, there is a preponderance of evidence that this has occurred, and it is “the honour of kings [sovereigns] to search out the matter.” Not only should we search out the matter, we should also try to figure out why? The questions we ask are: (1)Why did the kosmokrators [#G2888] resist giving us a translation of the Scriptures until they felt they had "sanitized" them, made them ineffectual against their power base? (2)What did they do to make them safe? We pray this has answered your questions. Our Love to you and yours, dear brother.

Message: Brother oneisraelite,
Please forgive me, but I am still not sure that I understand how you are arriving at your conclusions concerning this matter. The quote from Jeremiah is verses 16-17 as you well know, and those verses are part of the total paragraph that covers verses 9-32. It wasn't very long ago that I was having a discussion with one of the brothers that I fellowship with about the use of a verse here or there to prove whatever point one is trying to make, and I discovered I have some real problems with that approach to Scripture, even though I am as guilty as anyone of this. Our discussion was one similar to those on this thread, not in content, in manner. Every time I would raise an example in Scripture to illustrate my position, he would counter with his example to support his position or cast doubt upon mine. I know that this is a long winded introduction but I considered it necessary in order to express my answer to your instant post and give you a perspective of where I stand. Let us begin, as it is said, at the beginning. This chapter, twenty-three, is one of only a few of Jeremiah, unlike the many of Isaiah, that makes a prophecy concerning our Saviour. If we look at the first verse of this chapter it begins "Woe to the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of their pasture!" This being the opening sentence sets the context of this chapter; the admonition of the pastors and rulers that have deceived the people. Those that would steal their salvation from them. Let us look at the next paragraph where we are told that Father will raise up a righteous branch (the Christ) and we are further told that in His days (those of the Christ) this is the name whereby He shall be called Yosedec (LXX), Jehovah-Tsidkenu (Yah our righteousness.) Now, is this a commandment that this is the Name that we are to use for our Saviour or is this only one of the many Names that will be attributed to our Saviour and our Father?; for surely without the one we would not have the other. The next paragraph, verses 9-32, begins "Mine heart within Me is broken because of the prophets; all My bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome…. Here Jeremiah is expressing his deep concern and his confusion concerning what was threatening to his country and people because of the false prophets. He goes on to talk about the things that he observed in Sameria (Israel) concerning their prophets prophesying by Baal. The prophets of Judah had not done this until now and Jeremiah goes on to deliver Father's decree against these prophets and how these prophets are recognized. Father goes on to then say that he is against these false prophets and rulers, that steal His words and prophesy by dreams that cause the people to error. The whole subject is against the false prophets, not against the flock. There is no direct commandment that we are to use a specific Name for the Eternal or for His Son other than those, that describe their essence, including but not limited to Jehovah-Jireh ("Yah will see") The place where Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac. Lost. (Genesis 22:14); Jehovah-Nissi ("Yah my banner") Place of an altar built by Moses in memory of a victory over the Amalekites, on Horeb (Exodus 17:15); Jehovah-Shalom ("Yah is peace") Place of an altar built by Gideon in Ophrah, in memory of the salutation of the angel, "Peace be unto thee" (Judges 6:24); Jehovah-Shammah ("Yah is there") The name of the city in Ezekiel’s vision (Ezekiel 40; Ezekiel 48); Jehovah-Tsidkenu ("Yah our righteousness," in Jeremiah23:6). The only commandment that I am aware of concerning the Name of the Eternal is; Thou shalt not take the Name of the Eternal in vain. (i.e. You will not profane the Name of the Eternal.)

Message: Greetings and salutations in the name of the King, brother Daniel Jacob: Peace be to you. “And ye shall know that I have sent this COMMANDMENT unto you…” Attention: A COMMANDMENT has just been issued by the Supreme Sovereign of the Universe to His Priests!! And just what is that COMMANDMENT? “If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to GIVE GLORY UNTO MY NAME,”saith Yahweh [#H3068] of hosts... And what are the penalties for not obeying this COMMANDMENT? I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it. Malachi 2:2-4 Aside from this issue that we are talking of here, much wisdom is gained once we begin “rightly dividing” the names found in the Scripture. For example, when Rachel, thinking that she might be barren, finally gave birth to a son, we are all told she named him Joseph, however, if we go back to the Hebrew and “rightly divide” that name; what we find is this (contrary to what James Strong says it means): His Hebrew name is Yahu’caph and is made up of two Hebrew words Yahweh and caph. Caph means, “threshold”, so when we put these two together we get, "Yahweh’s Threshold". Now, the reason Rachel gave him this name, OR SO SHE THOUGHT, is because Joseph/Yahu’caph was her “threshold” into childbearing. However, we now ask, what was Yahushua’s earthly father’s name? Yahu’caph [Joseph], right? We now see the REAL reason why Rachel was INSPIRED to name her first son Joseph, or rather, Yahu’caph. Yahu'caph was "Yahweh’s Threshold" into this realm, i.e. his earthly father. Another example we can give is from the New Testament writings. Here is the verse as we read it in the King James Version [with the sacred name added, of course, just so everyone knows to which god they were referring, since Paul tells us “there be gods many”, and yes, we know that he goes on to say that we will only accept one.]: The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of Yahweh is preached, and every man presseth into it.Luke 16:16 “The law and the prophets were until John”? Rather an odd reading verse is it not? Now, if we rightly divide the word of Truth and ferret out the true name and meaning of John, we find that it is Yahu’chanan and means, "Yahweh’s Grace", not "Jehovah-favoured" as Dr Strong tries to tell us. Here is that same verse with the meaning of that name inserted: The law and the prophets were until Yahweh’s Grace: since that time the kingdom of Yahweh is preached, and every man presseth into it. Well, we’ll be hornswoggled, will you look at that. Now it makes sense! The Wonderful Counsellor sent to Yerulsalem; his Hebrew name is Yahu’shua made up of two Hebrew words (again, not what Strong’s says, though he gets it right on other names ending in shua) #H3068 & #H7769, Yahweh and shua. Shua means, “to halloo”, and what is a halloo? Webster’s 1828 Dictionary HAL'LOO, v.i. To cry out; to exclaim with a loud voice; to call to by name… Thus when we put the two meanings of the Hebrew words together we come up with Joel 2:32 … ”Call upon the name of Yahweh” or if you prefer, Hail Yahweh! And of course “hail” means “salute” or Salute Yahweh! This is why they said what they said when they were accused of turning the world upside down in the Acts of the Apostles…watch that same verse when the meaning of the name Yahu’shua is put in the place of the false name JESUS. First the original: Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus. Act 17:7 And now with the added [italicized] word, one, removed and the meaning put back in, as Yahweh intended, here is how it that verse reads: Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Hail Yahweh or "Call upon the name of Yahweh". Now, we must understand, this was at a time when virtually everyone else was running around saying, "we have no king but caesar", Hail Caesar. This is why the council “commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name”. This is why Yahweh puts so much import on peoples’ names in the Scripture; it was to tell us to pay attention to names!! And this is why, at all costs, we must find and understand the True name of the Creator, this is how we "seek His face". There are scriptures within the Scriptures once one perceives this.

Thank you for your persistence and patience with me. I want to thank you for the intercourse that we have had and your obvious conviction to our Father. I have decided that I need to research this matter more. I seek only the Truth and sometimes, because of our former upbringings, we are resistant to admit that we may be in error or that are view is not necessarily the right one.

Message: One last point needs to be considered with some things that have already been addressed.
The Rabbinical Talmudist altered YHWH's name so that when it was read, it would be pronounced Adoni. They also altered any names that began with the short form of YHWH's name Yah and the middle form Yahu. The Name was altered to Ye-ho. However, they did not alter it at the end of the names of those who had the short and middle form of YHW's Name. Therefore, it was fine to pronounce the Father's name at the end of a name, but never before. The Name of the Father, "YHWH, YHW and YH," alone was not spoken by the Pharisees or Sadducees in front of the people, but YHW and YH were spoken at the end of names.
Understanding what has just been said and simple logic considering their own laws about not saying the name, the Pharisees or Sadducees would not have called HaMashiach by the name of Yahshuah, but instead would use the traditional name "Yeshua."
If you thought that that the person in front of you was a false Mashiach, it would be absurd to address him by the name of the True Mashiach. If you in fact did, then the people around you would think you believed the person you addressed was in fact Mashiach. Therefore, to a Pharisee or Sadducee, it would have been absurd, mockery and blasphemy and be against their own laws to call Him Yahshuah. For them to address Mashiach by His real name, they would actually be addressing Him in the manner as the Salvation of Yahuah. They did not believe He was the Salvation of Yahuah, so they sure not going to address him by the name that represents the same, then in turn be condemned to death by other Pharisees or Sadducees for speaking the forbidden Name.
You have to understand that for a Jew to say, Yeshua, there is no problem, but they will refuse to say the name Yahshuah because of the laws in the Talmud and because they do not believe that the Yeshuah of Yahuah has come. If they did say the Name Yahshuah, it is most likely because they do not care about the traditions of the of the Rabbinical Talmudist and believe in the Yeshuah of Yahuah.
During Yahshuah's day, those who followed the rules of the Pharisees and Sadducees would not have spoken His name as Yahshuah either, but reather would use the traditional name of Yeshua.
* John 12:42 Nevertheless, even among the rulers, many believed in Him, but, because of the Pharisees, they did not confess Him lest they should be put out of the synagogue.
If they in fact did confess him, they would not call him Yeshua, but rather would call Him Yahshuah and say, "save me from my sins," but, because of the Pharisees, they did not. All those close to Yahshuah, those who believed in Him, did in fact call him by the name given to Him from the Father. After the resurrection and Pentecost, the name Yahshuah became more widely used because many believed He was the Salvation of Yahuah and they did not care about the laws of those who rejected Him. This is why you later see the Pharisees and Sadducees persecuting the believers who called on His Name. There was no problem before because not many confessed Him through His real name openly.

Message: Greetings brothers and sisters: A dear brother asked us this question privately, we answer publicly for the edification of the Body of Anointed [Yahushua's body politic]. You ask: “I understand your point about being anointed. What I fail to understand is how we can possibly approach the point of being the Anointed One, be it even in name only. By this I am referring to reference to saints as Yahu'shuah, since I am of the belief that there is only one Yahu'shuah who is the only begotten Son of the Living God, Yahweh.” Us: I cannot speak for you, but as for myself, I am not trying to become THE Anointed One, for there is only one Teacher, rather, we are to emulate Him. He is the Head of man, the only way we are more or less equals with Him is in the fact that He has made us a “royal priesthood” [I Peter 2:9 & Revelation 1:6] and “joint-heirs”, “participants in common” [Romans 8:17] with Himself. Melchisedec means king de jure, i.e. king by right. The order of Melchisedec is a royal priesthood [I Peter 2:9], that is to say, one who is of this order is a king [a sovereign] and a priest [Revelation 1:6]. H6664 tsedeq tseh'-dek From H6663; the right (natural, moral or legal) That, in our humble opinion, should have read “natural, moral AND Lawful”, since legal is the antithesis of lawful. Legal is the dead letter, while lawful is equitable, the spirit of the law. Law without the spirit of fairness, is dead. Please tell us what you make of these words, which THE Anointed One Himself spoke: Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends;[#G5384] for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Yahu’chanan [John] 15:15 G5384 philos fee'-los Properly dear, that is, a friend; actively fond, that is, friendly (still as a noun, an associate…) Why does an attorner [attorney] long to become an “associate”? Because they become equals with all but the “owner”. Webster’s 1828 Dictionary of American English ASSO'CIATE, n. 1. A companion; one frequently in company with another, implying intimacy or equality; a mate; a fellow. 2. A partner in interest, as in business; or a confederate in a league. And He hath made us “joint-heirs” with Him in His inheritance. JOINT'-HEIR, n. [joint and heir.] An heir having a joint interest with another. Rom 8. [Ibid.] JOINT, a. Shared by two or more; as joint property. 1. United in the same profession; having an interest in the same thing; as a joint-heir or heiress. Thus, if we knew, and by this word we mean FULLY COMPREHENDED, the truth of the matter, it would indeed [not merely in words] set us free. We, and you, “say” we are the “adopted” children [Yahweh's family is not made up of just “sons”] of the Creator of the Universe…what does that mean? It means we are the Princes of the King, Princes of ‘El, i.e. Yisra’el. If we TRULY understood this, would we let a mere man rule over us and seek his permission to do anything, providing we did not use our position for "a cloak of maliciousness"? The King requires, exclusive loyalty; Thou shalt love [obey] Yahweh thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind; and that we be righteous, i.e. moral; And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Mattith’yahu [Matthew] 22:37,39-40 The only way we can do this is to follow His Moral Law, the Ten Commandments, in the spirit of fairness – Equity! And visiting the inequity of the fathers… Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Mattith’yahu [Matthew] 7:12 The red letters indicate that the King Himself has proclaimed this! “FOR THIS IS THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS!” And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Mattith’yahu [Matthew] 25:40 To understand this, how would you feel if someone stole your brother’s [a prince of ‘El] conveyance, his only means of freely moving about? How would you feel if someone tried to tell your brother [a prince of ‘El] that he could not build a house, on land that he LAWFULLY occupied, to protect his family from the elements without their express written permission? Mosheh [Moses] became so angry that he killed the agent of the Pharaoh [the king] who was beating his brother!! Did Yahweh chastise him for this act? We think not!! Please understand we are not advocating “killing” but rather are trying desperately to show you the Good Tidings for what they truly are. It is not “religious” mumbo jumbo; it is reality! Yahushua was, and is, the Law Counsellor of Yahweh, sent to explain this to us…to give us salvation…to set us free, NOT in NEVER-NEVER-LAND, but HERE and NOW. And the ‘church’ today, seeks to keep Him on the “cross” and keep his brothers and sisters in bondage to iniquitous rules of men! What does “crucify” mean? You may be surprised at this meaning that brother Noah [Webster] gives us: “In scriptural language, to subdue; to mortify; to destroy the power or ruling influence of.” He obviously understood the real reason they nailed Him to a tree!! And it is just as obvious that it did not work, or we would not be telling you these things.
This dear brother and sister, IS the AWAKENING! If you cannot see it, we can only say, “we are sorry”, but it is not ours, but His, to give it to whomsoever He Will.
End of letter.
All we ask of you who do not see this, is not to hinder those who would enter in. Is that too much to ask? We pray it is not. If it is, we shall let the Master Himself reply: Get thee behind me satan!!

Message: An addition, which I had not thought of before.
Understanding what has just been said and simple logic considering their own laws about not saying the name, the Pharisees or Sadducees would not have called HaMashiach by His given name "Yahshuah," but instead would use the traditional name "Yeshua." This traditional name was common and has the simple meaning of save.
* OT:3442 Yeshua ` (yay-shoo'-ah); for OT391 he will save; Jeshua, the name of ten Israelites, also of a place in Palestine:
The name Yeshua is the altered/shorter (lesser) form of Yahushua (son of nun) which was first altered to Yehoshua.
* OT:3091 Yehowshuwa` (yeh-ho-shoo'-ah); ["Yahuah-saved;} Jehoshua (i.e. Joshua), the Jewish leader: -Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua. Compare OT:1954, OT:3442.
Yahushua son of Nun was used to save Yisrael from the earthly enemies when they entered into the promise land. Therefore, this name means what Yahuah did through this person, (I.E.) save Yisrael from their enemies, but it was not a Yahushua's given name -- a name not given at birth..
According to the scripture, when important names were given at birth, the meaning of a name was also given.
* Gen 5:29 And he called his name Noah, saying, "This one will comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which Yahuah has cursed."
* Gen 25:25 And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau.
* Gen 29:32 So Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, "Yahuah has surely looked on my affliction. Now therefore, my husband will love me.
* Gen 29:35 And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Now I will praise Yahuah." Therefore she called his name Yahudah. Then she stopped bearing.
* Gen 30:18 Leah said, "Elohim has given me my wages, because I have given my maid to my husband." So she called his name Issachar.
* Gen 30:19-20 Then Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son. And Leah said, "Elohim has endowed me with a good endowment; now my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons." So she called his name Zebulun.
* Gen 30:24 So she called his name Joseph, and said, "Yahuah shall add to me another son."
* Ex 2:10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. So she called his name Moses, saying, "Because I drew him out of the water."
When the name of the Mashiach was first given, the meaning of His name was also given. The Name was given with the meaning of "He shall save His people from their sins."
* Matt 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Yahshuah: for he shall save his people from their sins.
No other name has the meaing of "He shall save His people from their sins," but it is a unique name like no other. The name Yahushua, Yeshua or Jesus does not not have the meaning of "Save me from my sins," but the Name Yahshuah does, because He (I.E.) Yahshuah is the forgiveness of sins, which is the Salvation of Yahuah. Therefore, this name (I.E.) Yahshuah means what Yahuah did through this Person, (I.E.) save Yisrael from their Sins, and was His given name -- a name given at birth.
With that being said, if you thought that that the person in front of you was a false Mashiach, it would be absurd to address him by the name of the True Mashiach. If you in fact did, then the people around you would think you believed the person you addressed was in fact Mashiach, because you used the meaning of "save me from my sins." Therefore, to a Pharisee or Sadducee, it would have been absurd, mockery and blasphemy and be against their own laws to call Him Yahshuah. For them to address Mashiach by His real name, would be like saying "Save me from My Sins," which would actually be addressing Him in the manner as the Salvation of Yahuah. They did not believe He was the Salvation of Yahuah, so they sure not going to address Him by the name that represents the same, then in turn be condemned to death by other Pharisees or Sadducees for speaking the forbidden Name.

-----It is taught that Mashiach?s name is foretold in Zecharyahu 6:9-13. But this is a very poor attempt at teaching a name for the Mashiach.
* Zech 6:9-13 Then the word of Yahuah came to me, saying: "Receive the gift from the captives--from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have come from Babylon--and go the same day and enter the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah. Take the silver and gold, make an elaborate crown, and set it on the head of Yahushua the son of Yahuzadak, the high priest. Then speak to him, saying, 'Thus says Yahuah of hosts, saying: "Behold, the Man whose name is the BRANCH! From His place He shall branch out, And He shall build the temple of Yahuah; Yes, He shall build the temple of Yahuah, He shall bear the glory, And shall sit and rule on His throne; So He shall be a priest on His throne, And the counsel of peace shall be between them both."
They teach that since it says "Behold, the Man whose name is the BRANCH" and since the one being prophesied over, whose name is Yahushua, the Mashiach's name would also be Yahushua. However, there are no scriptures that teach Yahushua, son of Zecharyahu, was called the BRANCH. The prophecy is in fact speaking of one whose name is the BRANCH (Mashiach) and this same person would branch out into a priesthood and build the (living) Temple. There had already been prophecy about the BRANCH of which they were aware of, so they knew the prophecy was not about Yahushua son of Yahuzadak.
The prophecy is as simple as the following: Yahushua, son of Yahuzadak, was a high preist, but he was not a good enough high priest to atone for sins. So the prophecy speaks of the Man to come whose name is the BRANCH and He will be the true High Priest. The entire prophecy is about the one whose name is the BRANCH. Behold, lo, see (this prophecy, see who it speaks of) the Man whose name is BRANCH, he shall build the temple . Simple as that. The belief of the name Yahushua to be used in calling on salvation contradicts what many other scriptures teach. Therefore, this teaching is not sound according to the Scripture. We will show you why. But first you must consider the following questions.------
We were just wondering, could any of this have to do with the Yahushua, the Messiah, King and High Priest?
-----It appears that you believe the Mashiach is not Deity. Is this correct? If so, I can understand why you would want to use the name of a regular man for the Mashiach instead of the Name that is spoken about in Joel 2:32. As you know it is not Yahushua.-----
fellowcitizen of the commonwealth of Yisra'el, NOT the STATE OF ISRAEL.
Is any one of the followiing names the Name spoken about in Joel: 2:32 or Acts 2:21?
Yod-Shin-Vav-Ayin
Yod-vav-shin-vav-ayin
Yod-hey-vav-shin-ayin?
If it is, then I will use it to teach this is the Name spoken about in the Prophecy of Joel, which is the same as Peter and Paul quoted when they taught HaMashiach.
If none of the names above is the Name spoken about through the prophecy, then why would you use any one of those names for the name to call on for salvation?
Processes of elimination is one way of getting rid of what is incorrect, and a way to find what is correct, correct?
Should the name to call on for salvation contain all of the following letters Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh ?

Message: Shalom All,
There will be some who will say I can't find "Yod Hey Shin Waw Ayin Hey" in the Tanak. They make a good point. However, YHWH's full name was not given for salvation until Joel's prophecy was fulfilled. So we are not going to find YHWH's full Name spelled with the meaning of salvation in the Tanak.
What I can show you from the Tanak is that the Father's name in fact contains shin and ayin from the names of His servants that have His name with meanings of save and safe.
OT:3470 Yesha` yahu (yesh-ah-yaw-oo'); Yah has saved;
The Above name Yeshayahu is Yahuah's name (for His earthly servant) with the meaning of "Save." It is spelled in Hebrew as Yod Shin Ayin Yod Hey Waw. As you see it contains three letters of the Tetragrammaton and also has Shin and Ayin within the name.
OT:3091 Yahushua` (Yah-oo-sh'-ah) Yah-saved;
The Above name Yahushua is Yahuah?s name (for His earthly servant) with the meaning of "Save." It is spelled in Hebrew as Yod Hey waw Shin Ayin. As you see it also contains three letters of the Tetragrammaton and also has Shin and Ayin within the name.
So in fact the Father's name is proven to have the letters shin and ayin in His Name from references in the Tanak. It is just the matter of the order of shin and ayin. However, H-3444 settles this matter because it is the salvation only Yahuah can fulfill, and only needs a hey after Yod to be the Tetra with the meaning of salvation.
Yahuah----Yod-Hey---------Waw-----------Hey--------(Tetragrammaton) Yehshuah----Yod----Shin---Waw--Ayin----Hey-------(Complete salvation H-3444)
Bringing the two together in their order gives the Tetra the meaning of salvation. Shin and Ayin is already in His name for His earthly servants that have His name, therefore the Tetra with shin and ayin, is no different.
Yahuah gave the middle form of His name with Shin and Ayin for the names of His earthly servants. Yahuah gave His full name YHWH with shin and ayin to the one who was the Salvation of Yahuah, (I.E.) Yahshuah HaMashiach.
All of this is by far, more sound than using and teaching the incorrect names of Yahushua, Yahoshua, Y'hoshua, Yeshua, Y'shua, Iesous, and Jesus for the Tetra with the meaning of salvation.
It is a shame that one who has only been in the faith for about 4 years has to correct all the leaders who have been in the faith for a great number of years.
Yahuah please help us and bless us with your name, for truth and our salvation depends on it!

Message: Greetings and salutations in the name of the King, Peace be unto the house. Actually, dear brother, it is none of the choices, which you have given us. The last one is a syncopated version of the original. Here is the Lawful Counsellor’s name in full: yôd-hê’-vâv-shiyn-vâv-‘ayin, Yahu'shua. Now, if we divide this into the two Hebrew words that make it up, we find the first half to be yôd-hê’-vâv and the second half is shiyn-vâv-‘ayin. Now, yôd-hê’-vâv, as you no doubt know is the true shortened version of YaHuWeH’s name, or YaHu. The second half of our Wonderful Counsellor’s name, shiyn-vâv-‘ayin, is the Hebrew word shûa’, which of course means to cry to, or halloo. A primitive root; properly to be free; but used only causatively and reflexively to halloo (for help, that is, freedom from some trouble): - cry (aloud, out), shout. The reason the disciples were told not to teach in this name is because the Father’s Set-Apart name had been forbidden since the Babylonian captivity [a Babylonian religious doctrine which made their state religion "catholic", i.e. universal], and here were these people running around and basically saying, "Halloo Yahweh" or "Call Upon [the Name of] Yahweh" for freedom, which of course is the deliverance spoken of in Yahu'el [Joel] 2:32 and reiterated in the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistle to Rome. This is akin to saying "Hail Yahweh", and again, as you no doubt know, there were those in Judæa that were saying they had no king but caesar, "Hail Caesar", just as we have people today who believe that only George is king [or president, if you prefer] and hence reject the Supreme Sovereign once more, or perhaps we should say, STILL! His name was a major part of the Good Tidings [gospel], which of course means literally, Lawful Counsel or Lawful Advice if you prefer. Hope this is helpful.

Aramaic experts follow the same traditions of the Rabbinical Talmudist in not saying Yah in front of a name. They say Ye-shoo-a in the Movie. They say the "a" as we say the letter a in English. In Hebrew with vowel pointing, Yeshua is Ye-shoo-ah.
Is Yeshua the name spoken about in the prophecy of Joel, whom Peter quoted when He first preached HaMashiach?
Joel was Hebrew (My name Scholar) and told us what name would be used to call on for salvation. Joel did not give the name Ye-shoo-a.

May I stand corrected; do you posess a LICENSE to move about ...in His Name. do you file 1040 forms...tithe to caesar. do you have business with Baal's temple's...Banks. do care if they ALL CAP your name dad gave you. do you work for an EMPLOYER do you carry a license that baal issued for you to have permission to lay with your chosen woman do you have a RELIGIOUS spirit do you know that all, all the covenants are given to the House of Israel/Judah only
When I was four years old, in spirit and truth, I was still sucking milk, and spitting out falsehoods. Neo has a message for you. Yes, I admit I am abrasive, but not for effect, but for practical purposes. One must annoint {paint} a clean surface, else "it" will not stick long.
I admit to the world that I spell the question given in proverbs 30:4... Father...YaHuWeH. Son...YaHuSHuaH. Why the U? Cause you better be in the midst of His name. I really believe, after twenty years of trying to understand the Name YHWH, and raising a family of children within that name, that it will all get 'personal' when we qualify for the baptism. By the Way, baptism is of Fire, not water.
In paleo-hebrew the tetragram has four figures representing the Understanding of His Name-authority. Two of the figures, have men standing with hands held high, eyes agape...the letter H. When We see our Father's authority, we do indeed, Stand agape, at His.............Wonderment. And this experience will produce that agape Love, so spoken of by the early rain disciples...they owned all things in common. Agape burned out the greed from the inner man. All else is mere semantics. By the Way, at this moment, at this hour, the message is, get out of BABYLON. Love the brethern, keep the Faith. Lose the ss# and that ALL CAP name, time to wonder how to spell your name. ELECT or elect. Check your own paperwork, as you present your SELF-self, to the worldly.

Message: Shalom All,
Question for scholars and questions all should consider.
Please show me from the Tanak that the name Yahushua (yod-hey-waw-shin-ayin) is the Scriptural name for people to use and call on for salvation. I want to see it spelled exactly as "yod-hey-waw-shin-ayin" from the Tanak with the context of scripture saying this will be the name to call on for salvation. If it is there I will repent and conform to scripture. I can find Yod-hey waw-hey, but I can't find yod-hey-waw-shin-ayin.
When you find it please let me know why it does not have YHWH's full Name in it.
Also, please tell me according to the scripture why you use two names for salvation when the scriptures specifically teach of only one Name. YHWH and Yahushua are clearly two different names. No one can say otherwise. The name yod-hey-waw-shin-ayin was the name for other Yisraelites.
We know from scripture YHWH"s name will be used to call on for salvation, and we know from Scripture that the name of HaMashiach is the only name given for salvation and that all will bow under this name.
Acts 4:12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
Phil 2:10 that at the name of Yahshuah every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
Isa 45:23 I have sworn by Myself; The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, And shall not return, That to Me every knee shall bow, Every tongue shall take an oath.
How can the name YHWH (only name given to call on for Salvation) and the name Yahushua be the same name people will bow under according to Phil 2:10 and Isa 45:23, when they are obviously two different names, and the name YHWH is not heard when the name Yahushua is spoke?
Will the name being bowed to be the same name as the other Yisraelites who had the name Yahushua? Were they worthy to have such a name?
According to Yahshuah a singular name was to be used for immersion.
Matt 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Ruwach HaKodesh,
Understanding that the name of the Father and Son's name was going to be used in immersion and it be a singular name used for immersion, how would this name be spelled in Hebrew and English as one name, so that the full form of the Father's and Sons Name was carried forth? How would the Father and Son's name be pronounced in just one name and not two? A fulfillment of one calling on the singular name for salvation in immersion is as follows, which is a fulfillment of Yoel:2:32
Acts 22:15-16 And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of Yahshuah.
Please show us how scriptural sound the name Yahushua is for the name of the Mashiach, not from copies of texts which could have been written by those who followed traditions, but from points in scripture.
Thank you. I wait for your reply,
Yahuah bless us all with the truth of His name in His Mashiach

Message: 2-Elect, I finally see where you are! I have a four year old daughter, and if I even heard the word-name, daddy, my heart would melt with pleasure...she is really talking to me, even just me! Daniel Jacob travels about, risking jail time, for his belief that Jesus Christ gives Him the freedom to do so. Daniel will not ask Caesar's minions permission to travel. He has asked Jesus the Christ, and was given permission to be about Father's business. John Bunyon {Pilgrim's Progress} asked his "Jesus the Christ" permission to set up ecclesia's without LICENSE from the king-pope crowd. John was given permission to do so. Protest-ants, when the word meant something! John spend twelve years in prison for not bowing the knee to the ceasar's of the time, called king-pope. {gubberment} Now, I agree with you in that in this Third Day We must come into perfection {Luke 13:32}, and to finally call upon the Right Name is of importance. But this religious thing about being dunked into a water pool, with the correct vowels and consonants, in the proper order is redundant, to the extreme. So says me. You evaded my questions on your own walk, and the questions I earnstly asked. By a no answer, you admitted that you do all those things I listed. You serve Caesar-government, and have not chosen the Messiah of Israel, Yahushuah-Jesus-yahushua, you pick the word...by your very own walk. Think Daniel Jacob and many others here, care to hear the matter, if you walk not according to the Commandments? So have we right to say: if we say verbally Yahshua help me then we can continue to file 1040 forms, to support the murder of Iraqi peoples? With 1040 form tithes support fags in office and the MARRIAGE of such called fags-sodomites and 4,000 children butchered in their dumb mommies womb every day PLEASE...not to mention USURY, which has a death sentence attached to it, so says the tanach...which word is also redundant. Try prophets and psalms...and His-story. A Zionist Jew taught me one thing...to understand Revelations 2:9 and 3:9. For ha-stan always has to show his cards, and so few care to look. I have raised a family of many with the sacred names of the Father and Son being on their lips, but to put the name unto their hearts is above a mere father's pay grade. Name, does many times, not always, mean, authority...obedience. Keep up the good works, on His name, for thou shall be rewarded, but, and, this Name turned Caesar's world upside down! The POLITICAL world. Brother Robert {oneisraelite} turns the worldly right side up, every time he is jailed for witnessing Messiah Yahushuah gives him permission to travel about in the Power of the Name. Get my drift? You seem correct in the semantics, just put some feet to the process. IF the Name IS so Powerful, why ye seek the blessings of gubberment? A dollar to a donut that you are known by a PRETEND name, i.e. MR. ALL CAP...though your earthly Dad named you All Cap. Comprende? Help us out here, BATKOL is proud to be a PERSON, are you also? Or, is my talk gibberish, and you need Daniel Jacob to interrupt? {or Neo} What say ye? You have fallen into the midst of the called out. Thanks for your stance on calling Truth by its right name, I mean that. But what about you? I shall stick to the thought form that there better be a "u" in the midst of the Name. You. Psalm 110 and proverbs 30:4 list two. Go figure. 351 or 352. Or in American 153-152. Benyamin's name equals 152. Sharpen thy pencil, for a great Test is coming upon all.

Hi Caleb,
Then you should spell it as Yahuah and not as Yahweh. She will be confused later if you don't, because she will speak it with a weh sound when she reads it. I do not know of anyone who will get a oo-ah sound out of weh.
She heard the name Yahuah in the name you have taught her. That is why she said, that is Yah-sh-oo-ah. Remove the sh sound from Yahshua you have Yahweh?? No, you have Yah-oo-ah. She knows she is using Yahuah when she uses Yahshua. That should be a lesson for all of us.

Message: I'm working on collecting information on the derivation of our current (Roman) alphabet from its ancient roots. Here's one link to a chart taken from the Academic American Encyclopedia: http://home.earthlink.net/~walterk12/HIB/Language/AlphabetChart1.gif For those not familar with the mapping of modern, square Hebrew characters to the original, "paleo-" ones, here is a chart showing the mapping: http://home.earthlink.net/~walterk12/HIB/HIB_Pics/HebChart.gif Be aware that there are varying forms of the early letters.
What these show is that our modern vowel characters (a,e,i,o,u) and some consonants derive from early paleo forms; specifically, a from aleph; e from he; i, j, and y from yod; o from oyin; and u and v from vau or waw. One can also see that the Greek vowels derived from the same root. There is disagreement, as we know, over just what those particular paleo letters meant. >> The Semitic letter aleph, representing a smooth breathing, became Greek alpha, representing the vowel "a"; he became epsilon, "e"; yodh became iota, "i"; ayin became omicron, "o"; and waw became upsilon, "u". - Writing Systems, Evolution of; AAE, Vol W, p. 293.<< I find it obvious that the Greek adoption of the early Hebrew/Aramaic shows that the early Hebrew alphabet had the same vowels as did the corresponding letters in the Greek alphabet.
On another chart of the tree of evolution of Near East writing, not yet available to link, is shown the Early Hebrew on the left Canaanite Branch, while the Square Hebrew is on the Aramaic branch on the right, derived from the Aramaic. Aramaic, was the principal commercial alphabet of the ancient Near East. While various other scripts are shown to have derived from this Aramaic script, it should be noted that both the commercial Aramiac and the Square Hebrew were in the hands of the same stock of people; ergo I conclude that Square Hebrew is the alphabet of a commercial language. The Early Hebrew was supplanted by the Square Hebrew, it is said after about 500 B.C.
The conclusion is obvious to me, but I'll admit it must be open to debate, that the Early Hebrew alphabet had vowels similar to the Greek, and that the Square Hebrew changed those symbols to mean something else - their modernly known consonants, which require "pointings" - for "commercial usage." Thus I boldly will warn my brothers and sisters in Christ that their adoption and usage of their "modernly" assigned sounds may be joining in the commercial exploitation of "God's" (I say IAUE, but I won't press on that just now) word and in making commerce of "God's" and our Savior's name. I see the obvious adoption above of the "modern" interpretation (of what may be vowels) as consonants in the various names attributed to "God" and "Jesus." The correct names may (as I believe) require interpreting some of the aforementioned Hebrew characters in those names as vowels. All disputation over what vowel sounds are understood to be added to the names is really wasted energy until this matter is investigated, wouldn't you all agree? Hit the books guys!
Please correct me if you can prove me wrong. I hope to collect some other materials and make a web page of them sometime soon.
I pray IAUE bless all who search out the truth in this matter.

Steve: My speculation is that, considering the GREEK overlords wanted a copy of the Torah to understand those they RULED over, the 72 elders did not want YHWH's name available for vanity. Greek was considered a pagan language and we are talking about a people who have been in exile since Babylon. Many, many generations.

"For the first time in two thousand years, in a public national establishment in Jerusalem, at the Residence of the Presidents of Israel, a speech was made in ancient Hebrew, in an accent, which the greatest linguist of Samaritan-Hebrew an Aramaic languages, Professor Zeev ben Hayeem, may he enjoy longevity, calls The Hebrew of the Second Temple Period." http://www.mystae.com/reflections/messiah/scripts/honor.html
"The Samaritan script is the original ancient script of the Hebrews, unlike the modern Hebrew script of today that originated from Babylon. The Samaritan script is the Palaeo-Hebrew script. Still today the Samaritan script can be found on inscriptions, seals, coins, ancient manuscripts (even from Qumran), etc." http://www.the-samaritans.com/script.htm
From a chart copied/scanned from Collier's Encyclopedia (1996): http://home.earthlink.net/~walterk12/HIB/Language/LangChart.jpg one sees that Samartian is derivative of the original Early Hebrew. It appears that the Samaritans held onto the original script, or at least something close to it.
One cannot miss or ignore the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-35), who, after (one) had fallen "among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded" (him), and departed, leaving (him) half dead, had been passed by by a certain priest and the passed by by a Levite, was saved by a Samaritan who "had compassion (on him), [a]nd went to (him), and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him." And payed for all the costs of caring for (him).
Surely these Samaritans have held onto the original script, keepng it alive, as it were, for us. Surely Jesus' parables do not fail in their extension to real world events!!!
How appropriate that the Samaritans have kept the (script), that was stripped and wounded, from dying and have payed for (its) recovery to this day. A script that was passed by by priests and Levites - who adopted the Square Hebrew - is still available today. They still use the original pronunciation, according to the website. Maybe we should look towards them?

Brothers, I must consider:
Are these the same Samaritans that replaced the original northern kingdom of Israel in 721 - 718 B.C.?
Are these the same Samaritans who were men of Babylon, Cuthah, Hamath, Ava, and Sepharvaim, that Shalmaneser, king of Assyria sent to Samaria, as spoken of by the word of the Eternal through Samuel at II Kings 17:24-41?
The same Samaritans that, even after Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, had sent back one of the priests of the northern kingdom that was carried away because they mocked the Eternal and worshiped the Golden Calves of Jeraboam, to these impostors, who, "feared the Lord", and made gods of their own; Succothbenoth, Nergal, Ashima, Nibhaz and Tartak, and Adrammelech and Anammelech?
The same Samaritans that made unto themselves priests of the lowest of men among them and "feared the Lord, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence."?

What is your point? You mean like most people do today? Stories of greivously sinful (and well supported) ministers are not rare.
I don't know whether those people are the same or not; they might be. But the point is the same, these people called Samaritans are keeping the original script while those who should have done kept it have instead preferred a corruption. The parable of the Good Samaritan applies in two ways: being a neighbor to ones fellow man and being a caretaker of God's business. Jesus made the parable, please don't forget. Luke 10: 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. Another way to say this could be that God will appoint those who we dispise to do our jobs when we don't. The glory that should have been ours is granted to another who actually carries out God's plan. (The same precept applies when certain women were raised up to do the job the men wouldn't.)
I just see this Samaritan sect holding onto the original script as yet another manifestation of the authority of God and His word. It really doesn't matter to me who they are. We should take it to heart (I do) that we should be keeping the original script in use and turn away from the pharisee corruption.

Message: Brother Walter,
I thought that my point was obvious. Your post made the point that "for the first time in two thousand years" a speech was made, by the "greatest linguist" of Samaritan-Hebrew, purportedly from this group of imposters. "The Samaritan script is the original ancient script of the Hebrews, unlike the modern Hebrew script of today that originated from Babylon." These people originated from Babylon, therefore the previous statement doesn't stand up to historical criticism. That was my point. I didn't see that you were trying to verify that assumption with the illustration that one of those imposters was capable of simple acts of kindness that should be embraced by those that profess their devotion to the Father and His Son. Many today claim to be atheists and still give a helping hand to his fellow man.

My pardon, I have other evidence as to the original script that I have not linked, nor completely compiled. I have no doubts that the orignal script looks similar to what these Samaritans use. I ignore self-agrandisement in their news releases. I care only about the script (or font, if you will). The original script relates directly to some of our present alphabet; the Babylonian is vulgar. The orignial script is symbolic and that symbolism is used in patterns in the Bible.
You know, Daniel, I've noticed that sometimes our worst enemies occasionally give us good, insightful information. I don't know whether they do it for fun (to see if we catch on), or whether because they are carrying out God's purpose for a stubborn and stiff-necked people. But some of the most interesting insights I've gotten from those who proved to be the opposition; one just has to learn that their purpose is to deceive those desiring to be led by lies, and to be on guard for them. Even so, interesting things can pass though their lips, which one must verify, but this is all to the glory of IAUE [God].
I do not claim these present day Samaritans are saints, but they are indeed, I believe, fulfilling a necessary calling of God.

Interesting enough, It is good that I did a little research and found the following which I think sheds light on this topic of discussion:
TONGUES AT CORINTH: LANGUAGES NOT ECSTASIES! by Dr. N. Lee The Character of the Corinthian Tongues
Scripture itself suggests that these Corinthian tongues -- just like those on Pentecost Sunday -- were not incommunicable ecstatic utterances. They were clearly linguistic -- that is, spoken in translatable and recognised human languages. Compare I Cor. 14:21f and Isa. 28:11f with Acts 2:4-11. As Dr. W.B. Godby rightly observes in his Commentary, cosmopolitan ancient Corinth was "really a mammoth mongrel of all nationalities."
The international ancient trading city of Corinth had a very unusual location -- on the slender isthmus in Central Greece, between the two much larger land-masses of Northern Greece and Southern Greece, and also between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas to the west and the Aegean Sea to the east. Corinth's location there was thus similar to that of Panama City in the new world --on the thin waist of Central America, between the two great continents of North America and South America, and also between the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.
In the international trading centre of Panama City today, at least twenty different languages are regularly spoken. So too in ancient Corinth. There, none of those various foreign languages was to be spoken during worship in the Corinthian Church --unless translated. If so used, those foreign languages were always to be translated into the Corinthian dialect -- so that all present could understand the message concerned.

Your right, I would agree that there is the possibility to learn something from the scripts. I guess I am always skeptical when something is presented as being a significant find and the underlying evidence doesn't support the overall assumptions. I see those events as having the fingerprints of Satan. His presentations always have just enough that sounds possible to draw the elect.
I have read that ancient Hebrew, along with Aramaic writings developed from the Phoenician alphabet. Did Abram speak Hebrew, Phoenician, Aramaic, or Akkadian that was spoken in what is now Iraq about 2000 B.C.? This is why I have such a hard time when other brothers want to espouse the idea that there is only one way to pronounce the Name of the Eternal or His Son. Languages change over time. It should be most evident even in this modern day. We are said to speak English, but those on the Island would disagree. Many words are not pronounced phonetically. Just too many questions that have no answers.

Why do you have a "u" after Yah in Yahushua, and in Yashayahu, yet have a "w" after Yah in Yahweh?
What you are really saying is the Fathers name is pronounced differently in the names of His people. But in reality this can not be. If you are going to call Him Yahweh, don't you think you should be consistant and call the Son Yahweshua and Isaiah Yashayahwe?
2-elect
Actually, I don't find that Father cares about the name as much as he cares about kenning his proper character and emulating it by keeping His commandments.
And just for the record, neither yah-weh nor yah-veh are correct pronunciations of the Ancient Name anyway. Maybe it is closer to
ee-yah-aye-oh-vah,
or just
ee-yoh-vah,
or maybe
aye-yoh-vah,
people forgetting the initial vowel that can precede the initial consonant.
Jesus used more than one appellation to refer to himself, and so did Father. The important thing to remember is that Jesus put a face on the Father--"He that hath seen me hath seen the father."
Hairsplitting over the "correct pronunciation" of a word that is rendered with a foreign alphabet is not going to bring one any closer to Immanuel to see His face.
I say, learn, keep, and continue to learn his ways and laws, until one learns that is not even enough, not without his grace and the angel of his presence to make the calling and election sure. Are you anointed with that holy anointing that cannot be repented or abrogated?

Shalom Daron
Greetings, Daron:
The messiah's name is indeed now Yahweh. Yahushua was his earthly prophetic name. It was to reveal to those who were looking for him who he was in the OT, i.e., Yahu Yahweh. And it was also to conceal his identity from those who were seeking to kill him before the proper time. All his works he did in the sacred name Yahweh. His two earthly names Immanuel (el is with us) and Yahushua (Yahu saves) are merely prophetic. Yahu-shua means "Yahu saves," not Yahweh saves as many people suppose. It is Yahu Yahweh who saves his people.
First, he was named after Yahushua son of Nun and the high priest, Yahushua son of Yahuzadak (Hag. 1:1-2:4), these being two foretypes of the messiah.
The name Yeshua is Aramaic and not Hebrew. This name means "he saves" and fails to state who the "he" is that does the saving. You can look in the book of Ezra at a time when Aramaic was more commonly spoken and see that the same high priest's name Yahushua (Hab. 1) was called Yeshua son of Yuzadak (see Ezra 3:2, 8-9, 5:2 & notice alteration of Yahuzadak).
There is also another reason why the "Yahu (YHW)" was dropped from his name, and with this we get into the ineffable name doctrine. The first three letters are 2/3 of the name Yahweh (or Yahueh, whichever transliteration you prefer). The mere utterance of the sacred name Yahweh was prohibited by the Jewish Religious leaders since the 2nd century B.C.E. This false doctrine also came into Christianity by around the end of the 1st century C.E. At which time only the bilateral form was allowed (Yah).

Message: Dear Readers;
Sorry to drop in on six pages of convincing argument. I just feel that simplifying may be the most edifying.
There is a great treatise on this subject by a renouned author at Hebrew University in Chattanooga, Tennessee. "Yehoshua, Yeshua or Yeshu; Which One is the Name of Jesus in Hebrew?" by James D. Price. I discussed this with Dr. Price and he elaborated the accent, though slight, is on "shu". The name of the Messiah is Yehoshuah; just like we find in Strong's, Young's and Richardson's concordances.
http://www.direct.ca/trinity/yehoshua.html
So when I read Price's paper I went to the federal repository and checked out his sources, mainly the Babylonian Talmud and everything was there. But I was able to cross-check through various esoterics about the Tetragrammaton too. I have several journal pages but will send only one to Bondservant for him to link:
72-fold name image link
The simplicity is very comprehensive. YOD - HEH - VAW - HEH are the letters. But the vowel sounds are also critical. Yihowah is probably the better way to pronounce Jehovah. Strong's says to pronounce it yeh-ho-vaw. But that first “e” sound is almost like a ‘short’ “i” sound. The next vowel is clearly a long “o” sounded after the first HEH. Then there is the VAW sound followed by an ending HEH which always has an “aw” vowel sound, ending the word.
So the ineffable name spoken only by priests and by the cohen gadol (high priest) on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement – Leviticus 23) is simply fully expounding the consonants with the same vowel sounds. Nothing fancy:
YOD e HEHEH WAV o HEY aH
YODIHEHEHWAVOHEYAH
The mathematics is really quite eloquent as you can see.
Regards,
David Merrill.
P.S. As to the “u” sound argument. I have never bought into it but Encyclopedia Judaica expounds clearly under NAME that YEHU in a prefix like Yehudah (Judah) is “definitely not theophoric”. So it makes no sense to apply this convention to either the Name or the Messiah.
P.P.S. I recall the rabbi in the synagogue teaching this pronunciation one Sabbath:

Some verses related to the Name:
1 Corinthians chapter 8 verses 5 and 6: "For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him, and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and we through him."
It is this one God the Father whom we are out of, and one Lord whom we are through, regardless of their names.
Matthew chapter 6 verses 9 and 10: ""YOU must pray, then, this way: "'Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place as in heaven, also upon earth."
We pray for His name to be sanctified. So, obviously His name is of importance.
Psalms chapter 83 verse 18: "That people may know that you, whose name is YHWH, You alone are the Most High over all the earth."
Exodus chapter 6 verses 2 and 3: "And YHWH went on to speak to Moses and to say to him: "I am YHWH. And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but as respects my name YHWH I did not make myself known to them."
Exodus chapter 3 verse 15: "Then YHWH said once more to Moses: "This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, "YHWH the God of YOUR forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to YOU.' This is my name to time indefinite, and this is the memorial of me to generation after generation."
His name is a memorial. Does that mean it is to be remembered?
Isaiah chapter 42 verse 8: ""I am YHWH. That is my name; and to no one else shall I give my own glory, neither my praise to graven images."
Cannot a name be made into a graven image? It is our Father we worship, not His name. Though we should "remember" it. In order to "remember" it, we should have known it at some point in time. There is a lot of argument regarding the name. I was raised to believe the name of our Father is Jehovah. When I learned it was a Latin translation of YHWH, I then began to merely use YHWH, as I honestly do not know the true pronunciation, though I would love to know for certain.
Isaiah chapter 12 verse 2: "Look! YHWH is my salvation. I shall trust and be in no dread; for Jah Jehovah is my strength and [my] might, and he came to be the salvation of me.""
Does anyone know the original letters for Jah? The original letters for Jehovah are YHWH, true?
Isaiah chapter 26 verse 4: "Trust in YHWH, YOU people, for all times, for in Jah Jehovah is the Rock of times indefinite."
John chapter 17 verse 6: ""I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have observed your word."
verse 26: "And I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.""
We see Jesus made God's name known. Noted also here:
John chapter 5 verse 43: "I have come in the name of my Father, but YOU do not receive me; if someone else arrived in his own name, YOU would receive that one."
chapter 12 verses 12 and 13: "The next day the great crowd that had come to the festival, on hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took the branches of palm trees and went out to meet him. And they began to shout: "Save, we pray you! Blessed is he that comes in YHWH's name, even the king of Israel!""
verse 28: "Father, glorify your name." Therefore a voice came out of heaven: "I both glorified [it] and will glorify [it] again.""
I have also seen the letters rendered: JHVH rather than YHWH. I have understood it to mean "He Causes to Become"
His name as found in various translations:
The New English Bible: Jehovah appears at Exodus 3:15; 6:3; See also Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24; Ezekiel 48:35.
Revised Standard Version: Footnote on Exodus 3:15 says: "The word LORD when spelled with capital letters, stands for the divine name, YHWH."
Today's English Version: Footnote on Exodus 6:3 states: "THE LORD:...Where the Hebrew text has Yahweh, traditionally transliterated Jehovah, this translation employs LORD with capital letters, following a usage which is widespread in English versions."
King James Version: Jehovah is found at Exodus 6:3; Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 12:2; 26:4; Note also Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24.
American Standard Version: Starting with Genesis 2:4, the name Jehovah is used throughout the Hebrew.
Douay Version: Footnote on Exodus 6:3 says "My name Adonai." It also talks about how the Jews out of reverence never pronounce His name. Instead they would read Adonai (signifying Lord). This footnote claims the vowels to be Jod, He, Vau, He. Jehovah is a fairly modern version of the name. The ancient Jews and Christians did not use Jehovah. This footnote claims the true pronunciation is lost. It also notes chapter 3 and 14.
The Catholic Encyclopedia (1913, Vol. VIII, p. 329) states: "Jehovah, the proper name of God in the Old Testament; hence the Jews called it the name by excellence, the great name, the only name."
The Holy Bible: Yahweh is in the footnotes of Exodus 3:14; 6:3. Translated by Ronald A. Knox.
The New American Bible: Footnote favors Yahweh in Exodus 3:14. It is not in the main text, however.
The Jerusalem Bible: Tetragrammaton is translated Yahweh, starting with Genesis 2:4.
New World Translation: Jehovah is used in the Hebrew and Greek 7,210 times.
An American Translation: Yahweh is used at Exodus 3:15; 6:3, followed by LORD in brackets.
The Bible in Living English: Jehovah is used throughout the Hebrew. Done by S. T. Byington.
The 'Holy Scriptures': Matthew 1:20 begins with use of Jehovah in the footnotes (Greek). The name Jehovah appears throughout the Hebrew. Translated by J. N. Darby.
The Emphatic Diaglott: Jehovah is found at Matthew 21:9 and 17 other places, in the Greek. Benjamin Wilson did this translation.
The Holy Scriptures According to Masoretic Text----A New Translation: Exodus 6:3, Hebrew tetragrammaton appears in English text. This was done by the Jewish Publication society of America. Max Margolis was the editor-in-chief.
The Holy Bible: Jehovah is found throughout the Hebrew scriptures. This translation was done by Robert Young.
When I see how often the word LORD replaces the name of our Father, I can't help but think how our names on various presentments also appear in all capitals, what they call the nom de guerre, is it? War name? Are there earlier instances of an all capital name replacing another name? When did the use of this LORD begin? I'm curious.
Some other interesting points:
Preface of the Revised Standard Version: "For two reasons the Committee has returned to the more familiar usage of the King James Version: (1) the word 'Jehovah' does not accurately represent any form of the Name ever used in Hebrew; and (2) the use of any proper name for the one and only God, as though there were other gods from whom he had to be distinguished, was discontinued in Judaism before the Christian era and is entirely inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church."
Despite our Father's name appearing more than any other name or any title in the original Hebrew, this particular translation felt it appropriate to remove it based on the above mentioned beliefs.
Matthew chapter 15 verse 6: "he must not honor his father at all.' And so YOU have made the word of YHWH invalid because of YOUR tradition."
As in Judaism before the Christian era, they decided to discontinue the use of God's Name in their translations.
William Tyndale was the first in 1530 to break the practice of leaving the name out altogether when he published the Pentateuch. Others after him followed his example by using the name at least once and up to a few times in the majority of translations.
Jerome in the fourth century wrote: "Matthew, who is also Levi, and who from a publican came to be an apostle, first of all composed a Gospel of Christ in Judaea in the Hebrew language and characters for the benefit of those of the circumcision who had believed."--------De viris inlustribus, chapter III.
Matthew's gospel includes 11 direct quotations of portions of the Hebrew where the Tetragrammaton is found. No information that I am aware of would prove that Matthew did not quote what was written as it was written.
Hundreds of passages were quoted from the Septuagint (translated from Hebrew to Greek). Many of these passages included the Tetragrammaton, written in Hebrew right in the Greek text (in the earlier copies of the Septuagint).
As His Son desired, so His Son's follower's obeyed by retaining that name.
John chapter 17 verse 6: ""I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have observed your word."
verse 26: "And I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.""
From Journal of Biblical Literature, by George Howard of GSU: "We know for a fact that Greek-speaking Jews continued to write (the Hebrew lettering for YHWH) within their Greek Scriptures. Moreover, it is most unlikely that early conservative Greek-speaking Jewish Christians varied from this practice. Although in secondary references to God they probably used the words [God] and [Lord], it would have been extremely unusual for them to have dismissed the Tetragram from the biblical text itself....Since the Tetragram was still written in the copies of the Greek Bible which made up the Scriptures of the early church, it is reasonable to believe that the N[ew] T[estament] writers, when quoting from Scripture, preserved the Tetragram within the biblical text....But when it was removed from the Greek O[ld] T[estament], it was also removed from the quotations of the O[ld] T[estament] in the N[ew] T[estament]. Thus somewhere around the beginning of the second century the use of surrogates [substitutes] must have crowded out the Tetragram in both Testaments."----------Volume 96, No.1, March 1977, pages 76 and 77.
From what I understand, Biblical Hebrew was originally written with only consonants, no vowels. When the language was used every day, those reading the language automatically knew which vowels to provide. Over time, superstition led the Jews to stop pronouncing God's name aloud, so they substituted titles. Centuries later, Jewish scholars developed a system of points indicating which vowels to use when reading old Hebrew. They placed the vowels for the substitute expressions around the four consonants representing the name. This is how the original pronunciation was lost.
Some of the scholars favor Yahweh. Others use Jehovah, due to it's being readily recognized by many. Jehovah has been in use for centuries in the English language and also preserves the four consonants of the Tetragrammaton.
The Emphasized Bible, by J. B. Rotherham, uses Yahweh throughout the Hebrew. Later in Studies in the Psalms, he used Jehovah.
He wrote: "JEHOVAH-------The employment of this English form of the Memorial name...in the present version of the Psalter does not arise from any misgiving as to the more correct pronunciation, as being Yahweh; but solely from the practical evidence personally selected of the desirability of keeping in touch with the public ear and eye in a matter of this kind, in which the principal thing is the easy recognition of the Divine name intended."--------London, 1911, page 29.
German professor Gustav Friedrich Oehler wrote: "From this point onward I use the word Jehovah, because, as a matter of fact, this name has now become more naturalized in our vocabulary, and cannot be supplanted."----------Grammaire de l'hebreu biblique, Rome, 1923, footnote on page 49.
Jesus was born a Jew, and his name in Hebrew was perhaps pronounced Ye-shu'a', Greek form of the name being I-e-sous'. Now he is known widespread as Jesus. With each language, the pronunciation changes slightly. There is a common thread though, in all languages, by which the Father and the Son are known, their commonly used names. So we have three schools of usage. Those who never use the name. Those who are striving to use the specific and original name, likely lost. And those who use the commonly known names. While the name is important, I believe our conduct and how we worship our Father is just as important.
Knowing and using God's name is for us a way to draw close to Him. Thus for some, including me, the topic is of great interest and concern. Naming our Father makes Him more personal to us. It also distinguishes our Father from other gods.
Note Matthew 28:19,20; 1 Corinthians 8:5,6; Exodus 3:15; Isaiah 12:4; Ezekiel 38:17,23; Malachi 3:16; John 17:26; Acts 15:14.
Does anyone on the forum actually know the "lost language" as it was passed down through the Jewish scholars? As I noted above, the vowels that were substituted were those of the Title, not of the actual original name. Most believe the name was lost in time. It would be a true blessing to find that it wasn't. And more people should know about it if that were the case.
Freedom, Love, and Peace to all of you!

Message: Dear God is Love;
You ask: quote: Does anyone on the forum actually know the "lost language" as it was passed down through the Jewish scholars?

And my answer is yes. Albeit the presumption is that God always provides. It is clear from the Bible that God wants people to know His Name. We are to have it ready on our lips and we obviously have the option of misusing it. Therefore a clear Commandment.
So since Young's, Strong's and Richardson's concordances are all in agreement, why allow anyone to butcher up either the Messiah's or God's Names? I think that is a valid question there.
I do not read past "Yehushuah". I have studied out not only the name but the mentality of charismatic types who try to convince me that is correct. One fellow whom I thought to be a mentor attacked me with it. Another fellow returned from Israel with a notion that the tribe of Judah (Yehudah) must be integrated into both Names.
Well this "mentor" said of the fellow back from Israel, "You should have seen the entheusiasm in this man! You should look up ENTHEUSIASM in your Webster's Encyclopedic Dictionary. You will find that this is a man of God, who taught me "Yehushuah" and "Yehuway" are the Names."
So I did:quote: 1. A belief or conceit of private revelation; the vain confidence or opinion of a person, that he has special divine communications from the Supreme Being, or familiar intercourse with him.
I am formerly a calibration technician so when the "mentor" tried to tell me that Webster was wrong, I could not swallow that. I truly resent that someone will be so hypocritical to assure me God provides but then discards all standards and well researched opinions like those mentioned. Big names in standardizing the Bible with English.
I have written the entire Pentateuch (First Five Books - Torah) into a word processor ver batim. I wrote out the Laws of Moses (Exodus 20-24:7) in paleo-Hebrew, Sumarian Ostraca from about the time of King David then translated that back to English word for word. I have sung the Shema, leading the congregation and carried the Torah scroll through the synagogue for them to touch and kiss. Now when I sing the Shema, I sing Yodi-Hehey-Wavoh-Heyah, replacing two of the three "Adonai"s.* Replacing all three does not fit the harmony and cadence I prefer.
Hebrew law link
Now this does nothing but support my point. But the Jews in Encyclopedia Judaica (under NAME) make it quite clear that the Name; the Tetragrammaton would not have a "Yehu" prefix under any conditions.
Yehudah not theophoric link
Regards,
David Merrill
P.S. Of course you can believe that the Holy Spirit gives us all a unique name for God. That being a man of faith means that Rules of Evidence and standards are obsolete. But in my opinion, you are a very insidious and pernicious speaker, specially if you are teaching a ministry.
* Please read this a little toned down. I am passionate about the injury this "mentor" caused and I had to recover from. Do not think I am ventilating directly at you.
If you think it through, there is an error in the syntax of your statement quoted at the top of this Reply. The "Title" ADONAI is used by the Jews to replace the Name. This began about the time of John Hercanus (125 BC) for the purpose of protecting people from misusing the Name. Likewise, there is no Torah teaching all year long in the synagogue, teaching the Ten Commandments. Is not that wierd? The rabbis decided that early Christians [That new sect of Judaism is now called "Messianic" or "Completed" Jews.] would botch it up so they study the Commandments in private Torah study.

Message: greetings all... i have not read all 6 pages of this thread, so forgive me if this has already been mentioned. In this search for the sacred name one must remember that we are being conformed to the image of Christ, from glory to glory. when one has say a daughter, the baby's first name for the male parent is daddy or abba or something similar. Isnt that the most precious.. later the child may learn in fact that daddy's name is Joe Dirte or fill in your name. But the real intimacy is in getting to know what daddy is really like, what's his character? If our heavenly father is perfect and we are to go on... leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, not laying the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, ...etc. (hebrews 6) ... unto perfection, we should seek out to know Him. And with diligence be willing to let him transform us and renew our minds and be conformed into the same character. Remember how a seed brings after its own kind? Well, we could all eat an olive and call it something different, but even without the gift of speech or hearing (say a deaf/mute) we could recognize that fruit having once tasted it. And father even bears witness that the fruit of the holy spirit is from Him. So, taste and see that the Lord is good. Seeing the glory of God in another brother or in a brother from the scriptures, especially the firstborn Son, is the revelation of who our Father is, the Lord of hosts is his name. So whats in a name? strongs # 3686 mentions authority, character. I always like 2nd peter as well, i dont think he mentions correct pronunciation or spelling in his directions on assuring an entrance into the kingdom of heaven... However, there is important meanings and things to be learned and revealed through the sacred name(s), and all language, names and laws and creations, etc. I am just convinced that the seed planted whether wheat or tare is known by its fruit. in love, Beza

Message: Hello Folks,
I have a short addition to the conversation. I hope you appreciate its simplicity and directness. If you take the time to actually say the variants of the name, and pay attention to how you feel after each utterance, it should become clear to you which is the one to be used when appropriate. At least that has been my experience.
Love & Blessings!,

Message: Dear Bezaleel;
I feel that the Old Covenant is the foundation of understanding the New Covenant. "Name" by Hebrew/Aramaic definition is Strong's #8034. So add to authority and character; position and honor. Now we are getting somewhere! Standing in Judicio - position*. Court of Competent Jurisdiction - honor. What you Christians call Power of Prayer. Properly, Christian Qaballah as Christianity is properly a new(er) sect of Judaism.
From your perspective I presume adherence to Romans 13 and that seems to be a conundrum among many of the "Christians" here in this forum. Many of these people dabble in some of the pieces that do not fit; inner conflicts about subjecting to what feels like a commercial antichrist of international banking - METRO 1313's global municipality home rule etc. [Essentially Revelation 18:4.] But if it is any consolation, your faith has always kept the Bloodline safe. Imagine the Christian witchhunts through history for the descendants of your Saviour?
So I am with Ishmael Aylwin on the simple points integrated into his short message. He knows his name and therefore I deem him a sound contractor. He is quite masterful at relationship (contracts) and scientifically experiments with different utterances, allowing the Holy Spirit of God to produce a resonant or dampening effect (against the truth in his name) in his solar plexus (gut reaction). He has noticed that judgments occur and prayers are answered and simply notices the effect (empirical datum) without having to know who-called-who or where such-and-such intermediate process is filed.
But one thing he seems to believe is that God wishes Ishmael Aylwin to know His Name.

David Merrill
* For this position in the counterfeit estate of fiat money, legal names and real estate one must dichotomize into MPD to re-present themselves pro se (Multiple Personality Disorder = schizophrenia). To attorn back the re-venue, one must endure capital integration.
From "Legal Identity; The Coming of Age of Public Law" by Joseph Vining; footnote at the bottom of p. 22 quote: It would be interesting to discover the degree to which a person in early society was "born again' when he was made an official. A postulant was born again when he became a monk, a squire when he entered knighthood, or a woman when she married. Each took a new name. It may be that only as the notion of the double personality of officials grew did the new name not replace the old, but was rather added to the old, so that an official had both a "private" name and a "title." It is the phenomenon of two names, of course, that has made possible the practice of filing suits for judicial review against "named individuals."

Message: Dear David Merrill,
Do I really believe "that God wishes [me] to know His Name." ? Anyone who reads through this entire thread has been exposed to several variations of His Name. If a person has read with awaremess of their internal experience it does not matter wether or not he believes he should know the name, he knows it. I am still working on my capital integration, but I do believe it best to not argue with immediate experience. I must admit that a person must be able to separate their immediate experience from their re-presentation of it before they can discern the experience from their idea of it. A person learns to do this through practice. A simple but not neccessarily easy first step to discovering truth; consciously discriminate between the map and the territory.
Take Care & God Bless!,

I said that under the presumption that your experiments intoning the Name indicate you feel that way. There is an article above linked to Aish.com showing the prudence Orthodox Jewry practices in carefully teaching the extended pronunciation.
So far as the other pronunciations on this thread; hogwash, in my opinion. At least any that differ from what you find in Strong's, Young's and Richardson's concordances. I think it's silly to think anyone could convince me their personal revelation overrides expert Hebrew scholars.

Message: Yes, let us study this terrain before we land. Many of us argue on what words we should pronounce when calling/naming that which is to be clearly understood. His-story calls and names many.
One example is "as a white sepulcher, but full of dead mens bones and everything unclean." Another are the words and scathing damning as "hypocrites, dens of thieves, vipers etc." I know what those pronounciations mean and stand against.
Now, there are those which say they are of God, Jesus, Yehoshuah, Jehova etc., but noticing where they stand and what they teach, and keep from teaching, a "gut feeling" tells me they couldn't possibly stand with His Truth. They are neither cold nor hot.

Message: Dear Manuel,
I awoke this morning with the word Jehovah (yi-ho-vah) repeating itself on my lips. I don't remember what I was dreaming about, but as I came to full consciousness I realized that there is one spelling of His Name above that was different than what the text about it suggested it should be. It also occured to me that not everyone subvocalizes as they read, although many do.
I am curious, will you please tell me the names consonant with the meanings you have given above. More explicitly, what name means, "as a white sepulcher, but full of dead mens bones and everything unclean" ? What name means, " scathing damning as 'hypocrites, dens of thieves, vipers etc.'" ? And, to whom did each of these names, mean what you state ?
I know that for myself, there can be no single word for His Name, because He is not that limited, and I will not mistake the map for the territory. If one speaks to create in His Name, than it behooves one to use the name appropriate to what one has been called to create.
Blessings to you and yours.

Message: The most famous man in history, and we wonder what his name is. Amazing! {Just erase Jesus, being the verbal name he was called when he walked about}"They" called him: Yahushua son of Yoseph. Yahushua of Nazareth. Paul call's him...Messiah Yahushuah and Yahushuah messiah. On purpose. I think Yahushuah in the loneliness of his earthly walk, disected his given name: Yahu=I Will Be. Shuah= Salvation. He believed so strongly in this, that he laid down his life here, and sealed that belief in his own blood. And Paul revealed that Yahushuah was the Firstborn among many more brethern who would have that same confession of faith. Wow. Yahuweh stated that He called His son...out of Egypt. A many membered son. The mystical Messiah. Paul was so very well pleased when Yahuweh revealed His son...in him, i.e. Paul's mind-heart.Paul travailed with the younger brethern, till Messiah be formed in them, also. Paul was a custodian of the Mysteries. Janitor-door opener. For years he "kicked against the prick's". {Fought against the Divine revelation} When the Light came, it was so bright, he went blind. Wow again. To be baptised into the Name, has nothing to do with water...physical water. The book of Acts explain's that many were baptised into John's baptism {water} and had as yet, not received the Baptism of the Name. hmmm, such cryptic stuff. It surely must seem that the Mystery was kept from those who would not...what? sacrifice? Sacrifice what? The Word was made flesh. Way past Moses and his given revelations. But Moses knew "it" was going to come. The new covenant is hidden in the old covenant. {Though few there be that find it} KJV language: God said to Moses: I am That I Am, that is my name. Now when reading the new covenant red letter's, watch for; Yahushuah saying..."That I Am". Which is the second part of the sacred name...I Am... That I Am.
Eyah Asher Eyah...I Will Be What I Will to Be. He willed to be Saviour in Yahushuah of Nazareth. And Yahushua said, "let's do it". Now it is our turn. KJV...Christ in you, is the hope of your glory. Where? Or we could argue, i before c except after an e. And to you that look for him, shall He appear.... Blessings and salutations to those who look foreward to the next age, the age of the pouring out of the Living water's. For this is the age of the dawning of the age of Aquarius. And no NEW AGE nut shall hijack eternal Truth. "Follow the man carrying the pitcher of water, for he shall lead you to an upper room...fully furnished". The next level. Since man went to great expense to hide the sacred names of the Father and Son, will you ask yourself, why? I mean to say, that if it is as simple as "saying" Yahshua vs. Jesus...Yahuweh vs. God, one has missed the Revelation. Here in the new testament writings we have Yahushuah saying to Phillip, [paraphrased} Phil, ya wanna see YHWH? Look into my face". YaHuWeH is Spirit. Looking for tabernacle's that will invite Him in, at whatever cost. Brought to you by; Robert of IOWA.

Message: Dear Robert James;
His name is no more Yehushauh than yours is "Robert-James". And no more Yehuwah than yours is "Robert of IOWA". Check the standards. Listen to the experts.
The point being your parents did not hyphenate "Robert-James" and therefore it is not your name. It is a nickname or whatever. "Robert of IOWA" sounds more like an epithet. You have three names here on this Page, presuming your parents named you "Robert James". On a premise you can have more than one true name, you may make up anything you want and we should believe that any one, even "Robert of IOWA" is your name.
But that is a faulty premise. At least I believe that it allows for falsity. Should we believe your name is "Micky Mouse" too? Just because you say so. When one, "feigns self to be another" that is NAKAR Strong's #5234 - foreigner of Deuteronomy 15:1-3 and stranger of Deuteronomy 23:20. Of course! Who would trust a man who introduces himself by different names at different times? Alienate - estrange. In just two verses you subject yourself to usury and cannot claim the Seven Year Release from debt. So in a Zionist (Khazarian/Ashkenazim) oriented banking system you are really messed up financially [in the original estate; not the debt currency systems of the world]. Evidence of criminal activity, your many names, will cause forfeiture. Before you can make peaceable reentry into the original estate, you will have to properly identify yourself.
So try not to boil the confusion over onto sacred theophoric names like the Father Yehovah and Messiah Yehoshuah.

Message: Dear David Merrill,
Although I in no way disagree with the specifics of your statements against Robert James, it seems to me you missed the real thrust of what he was stating. Or, maybe you've chosen to ignore it because you recognize the value of names used well. Or, maybe I've read more into his writing than he intended. In any case, I read his message to be claiming that it is more important that we embrace the living spirit, the Holy Ghost, than argue over the spelling and pronounciation of names. From the __Gospel of Thomas__:
Jesus said, "Whoever blasphemes against the father will be forgiven,
and whoever blasphemes against the son will be forgiven, but whoever
blasphemes against the holy spirit will not be forgiven either on earth
or in heaven."
At the same time, I trust your assesment to be correct with respect to Robert James' ability to succeed with with process as you have. To accept the living spirit, is no gurantee of capital integration, but only of forgiveness and the opportunity to try again.
FWIW, it is unlikely that Yehoshuah referred to the most high as YHVH. Of course, their are several words used to refer to him, that get reduced to a smaller set in English. The word he most likely used to mean the aspect of supreme being, where we use 'God' in English, would have been 'Allaha', Unity, in Aramaic. Allaha and YHVH, are very different references to the truth of the process of Creation. (That final hypostatization was very deliberate. Ahh, the weakness of written language to communicate.)

Message: Dear Readers;
I did not repeat myself from a page back but I was seriously mislead by a minister a few years back who adhered to the "Yehu" prefix. So my statement is not against Robert James but the doctrine that he persists with here. Also a page back I was fairly determined to let the thread go about its way, having said what I had to say. But "Robert-James" or "Robert of IOWA" made an opening for me to clarify why it is amazing that we could still be discussing the validity of proven standards.
About the gist of what Robert James was saying; it missed me altogether. I would not allow somebody who insists on the falsity of the "Yehu" prefix teach me word one. But I will examine what you are saying Ishmael Aylwin and just say that I would never be one to underestimate God's grace. However, I think that is a Futuristic Christian concept that is oriented about an eternal afterlife, irrelevant to a kingdom of heaven on earth. And you agree that here is where process can be properly handled to manage property and rights thereto.
You bring up a wonderful point about Yehoshuah and how he would have referred to the Father in heaven. Of course being post John Hercanus (125 BC) in Jewish company Yehoshuah would have used titles like "Adonia" and "Elohim" verbally. I linked an article with Aish.com about the reverence a page back, "A comprehensive guide to the philosophy and laws of pronouncing the Name of God."
www.aish.com/literacy/concepts/Respecting_God_in_Speech.asp
So let's say that is correct that advanced and Torah literate students were taught the sacred ineffible name. So let us say that Yehoshuah would have had the Name YHVH properly in his thoughts and muttered prayers.
So upon some Bible studies it has been speculated about the writing in the sand, you know, when Jesus was convincing the ad hoc jury to spare the harlot, "Let him among you who has not sinned throw the first stone." That event:
1) Yehoshuah was spelling out the prescription for testing adultery. There is an Old Covenant test for adultery where the priest writes a passage on paper and steeps the paper in tea and the woman drinks it. If she survives the ink poisoning, she is innocent. Problem is, Yehoshuah was writing in the sand; he probably would have gone full with the prescribed test if at all.
2) Yehoshuah was writing the full ineffible Name. A display of authority in being right with God. This would probably be with expressed or implied admission by the posse of entrapment. If the woman were caught "in the very act" then which man set her up? Adultery is an action that takes two. Only the woman was threatened with a stoning. So it is implied that the men had seduced her into the weakness with a male for bait.
So I believe that the latter may be the case. It is pretty clear from the scripture that Yehoshuah was writing something in the sand. I believe it was likely the 72-Fold Name.

P.S. I have not forgotten the title of this Topic is, "His name is not Yehushuah" so I am right in the subject matter to attack the "Yehu" doctrine. But it would be interesting if that is what 2-elect meant when he titled the Topic? Is this the intended debate?

Message: Dear David, I do think you presume too much. Yahushuah was known by many names, one of which he mentioned about his Being was; Son of man. Peter called him the Messiah, without any rebuke. Isaiah 9:6...and his name shall be called, 1] Wonderful, 2] Counsellor, 3] El-Elyon {the mighty God}, 4] The Everlasting Father, 5] The Prince of Peace. A name is only part of the description of a living Being. Since I am born a second time, quiz you on your reference to my parents: water or spirit parents? YaHuWeH as Father, mother being New Yerusalem. See, I was born in a sack of water, baptised into this world. My Dad pronounced the name upon this natural born being. Then again We have a new name. Not necessarily a "re-newed" name. {Robert James vs. Robert James}. Yes, I could call myself "Mickey Mouse" if I cared too, as long as fraud is notinvolved. Consider "Madonna". You really need to consider John 3rd chapter...word by word. I am an Israelite, and don't pay much attention to your perverted concept's via Khazar's are legitimate Judah. {You still BELIEVE German's gassed 6,000,000 Jew's} {Care to cry a tear, or propagate 50,000,000 white Russian's died at the hand of communism?} BTW, I repented of any involvement with the IRS and usury borrowing back in '1983'. Don't think yu could make me boil over, under any circumstances. A high I.Q. can, and usually is, a great hinderance to entering into the Kingdom. For a self elevated man to humble himself, and believe as a child does, makes no sense to the egoist. Jefferson an egoist, and very intelligent man, gifted in fact, thought the book of the Revelation of Yahushuah, was the "ravings of a mad man". We have noticed that certain one's, will never spell Yahushuah, with the Yah, or, Yahu, attached. THEY alway's must put an e in there. They esoterically are stating that Yahu-Shuah did not come here, in his Father's name. Even Jew's today in Palestine, are using the given name Y{E}hushua. As do you....hummm. HalleluYah, or do you say, "HalleluYeh? I have friend's who call me, Bob. When I played baseball, till age 50, on the field it was Bobby. Depending on who say's what and for what purpose, I may, or may not, answer to the name they call out. As a judge once stated to a man at bar, THEY, i.e. the Persecutor, i.e. the D.A. can call you anything he likes. You can answer to the name or not. I have walked through the fire in the dungeon, for not having a LAST NAME. Maybe it is time for you to admit that you aren't the only ONE who know's? Or, am I wasting the ecclesia's time and space? Aren't you on record stating Yahushuah didn't die, i.e. he faked his death. I read "Holy Blood holy Grail many year's ago, and it gee...was written by one of your Khazar mentor's? Yep. Since I live more east than you, I get up earlier than you do...usually.
If I wanted to call myself Micha-El, the only way you could talk to me was to call me by the name I introduce myself to you. I minded not one whit you wrote Robert James, vs. Robert-James. For your court is not my court, and we have no arguement, albiet, I'd rather be called most anything except a usurious man. But I forgive you in your mere presumptions, ok? As a side bar to your heart's health, who want's their first estate? You? The only one's I know of who have lost their first ESTATE, are those in chain's awaiting the "final judgement day". I pray you are confused of sort's and not one of THOSE. As a reference, consider Hebrew's 11: 14-15-16. We want a better "estate". The state of Zion, a state of Being. But then Abraham was taught by the father's, that resurrection is real. "They" were NAKED in the old garden. At law, you must know 'naked' means...incomplete. I do not want to Stand "naked"..."in that Day", which is today. Put on the whole armour, Ephesian's 6:11-24. To you west of the great divider, {Mississippi} Peace.

That is all I read. Like the last page, I have said what I wanted to say. "Burn me once shame on you; Burn me twice, shame on me." If Robert James insists on protecting the "Yehu" prefix, I know better than to try to change his mind. That is what I learned last time.
The Topic is specifically that the "Yehu" prefix is wrong. So go ahead and debate it without accepted expertise and standards if you wish.

Well, I have to disagree with you here. Yehoshuah would not have used the Hebrew names you mentioned above, except in temple. Hebrew was not the language for everyday parlance at all in his day, as it has become now. A reference for the use of Alaha is at:
www.atour.com/cgi-bin/lexicon.cgi
search for 'God' in English, or '0hl0'in Aramaic.
I have also seen it spelled Allaha, as I spelled it above. If one takes YHVH as the name for God from the OT, and uses Strongs definition of its meaning, the meaning of the two words, as I have learned them is the same. From Strong's:
quote:
Jehovah = "the existing One"
"The existing One", with 'One' as a proper noun has exactly the same meaning as 'Unity'. The difference between YHVH and Alaha being the language used. One was a language for the temple, the other the language of people in their everyday lives. Since a major part of Yehoshuah's message was to offer the opportunity of the Kingdom to all irrespective of class, I am confident in most cases he actually spoke 'Alaha'. I find the translation 'Unity' more natural than, "The existing One."
You also stated,
quote:
... I would never be one to underestimate God's grace. However, I think that is a Futuristic Christian concept that is oriented about an eternal afterlife, irrelevant to a kingdom of heaven on earth.
As for Grace, being a futurism. I would say that is an artifact of the culture that adopted his adapted teachings, and spread them to the world different than they were intended. Grace need not be a futurism at all, and I am sure it was not intended that way by Yehoshuah. Grace is a gift to us in the eternal present. Grace is always NOW! The futurism gets put in it, either by accident because a lack of reference for the true concept of eternity, or deliberately as a control mechanism for a politcized religeon. We can be assured though, that futurism was never a part of the Master's message. From __The Gospel of Thomas__:
quote:
His disciples said to him, "When will the kingdom come?" <Jesus said,> "It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying 'here it is' or 'there it is.' Rather, the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it."
In the initial post, Daron apparently argues for a name that neither you or Robert-James would use. I wonder, though. If you have not found the Kingdom does the name you use matter ? And, if you have found the Kingdom, how can it matter what name you use ? The latter question presumes a conscious choice to use a particular name in specific circumstances as guided. Some food for thought. Thus my simply taking what I saw to be the import of Robert-James message.
Take Care & God Bless!,

Message: Dear Readers;
The thread exists. So that is why I expressed my opinions on the matter. I have studied this extensively and I believe equipped myself with authenticated texts. Point being that Strong's, Young's and Richardson's concordances all answer the questions about the Name of the Father and the Messiah.
If you have been familiarizing yourself with my opinions on the matter of kingdom then you know that it is a matter of establishing proper claim in the image of God. This is the acquisition or appropriation of designated portion. Property rights. quote: And, if you have found the Kingdom, how can it matter what name you use ?
I believe there is a flaw in the syntax. If you are not using the Name correctly, physics, the numero-linguistic interface prevents you from finding the Kingdom (on earth). If you cannot establish identity, both in yourself and the Creator; Relationship is flawed. There however is really where God's grace kicks in.

P.S. Robert James going by three names here on the last page, and enunciating the Name incorrectly became a perfect example for me to make my point. I was not attacking Robert James, just the parataxic distortion he is spouting.

Message: Dear David Merrill,
You may consider it to be due to a lack in my capital integration, or you have misunderstood my question. Where my heart is confident that there is not only one name for Him, is that there were men before and after Yehoshuah who reputedly found the Kingdom. Some of these men, because of their culture, are very unlikely to have used the Hebrew name for Him.
Are you really claiming that only the inheritors of Hebraic culture have keys to the Kingdom? There are many who would make such a claim, but my heart knows that He would not be so exclusive. It is even possible that from our limited perspective in this time that the Hebraic name seems to create the "best" world for men today that we can imagine. However, if that were so, I doubt that we would be like a cancer upon our Mother, the earth, and flirting with the possiblity of destroying most of the life, as we know it, upon her.
I have an extraordinary appreciation for what I think you are trying to do, and I support it. However, I have a stronger allegiance to truth. Hence, I express my knowledge that there is not a single name for Him, but that it is relative to time, person, place and intention. I would never be so bold as to limit Him in anyway. Especially not by the choice of vibration that I use to address Him, or to express His beingness.
Shalom,

Message: Dear Ishmael Aylwin;
I am sure my claim is much simpler. If you want to know the Name of the Father or Messiah just open a good concordance and/or lexicon. That's all. But you give me some insight into why there would be such debate about it.
I took a look at Batkol's Reply above. There was mention of why so few people respond to my posts. I do not read Robert-James' posts so I had no seen that.
The sight is a medium. Several people have thanked me for sharing my experiences. I believe it more a chronicle and as it develops I find it a good resource for hashing through things, spotting correlations and timing; like a journal. Criticism or even synicism helps me to pick apart the flaws in the attack and then share the strength of my gist. Like with Lewis and Dan.
Let's face it. These correlations and concidences, verifiable timelines and so on; a bill of exchange for $3.6q, they are really extraordinary. Lewis said something about 'getting a life'. Well that gets me chuckling. [I would not trade the one I have for all the money in the world.] These events are not delusions of grandeur. They certainly feel like it sometimes but the psychotherapist and medical doctor suitors assure me I am passing every reality check. I actually pull them out of the psychotomimetic delirium of pseudonomania and they are quite grateful about that. One told me that I am a psychotherapist. Well!
But something else Lewis said, about me spinning this all up as I go. I forget how he put it. Now for all the readers who do not respond with a Reply, I suspect you are getting some entertainment value out of this Internet yarn.
I had not noticed how few people make responses. In fact, if I do not like the response, I consider it a nuisance. But like I have said, you may attack and if you hold any credibility I may explain or even put up a defense. As for James Robert, nope. He insists on falsity so I am smart to steer clear of his arguments.
Regards,
David Merrill.
P.S. Without further research, I am certain that "Allehu" is a deviation (probably Aramaic like you say) of Elohim. Hebrew has plenty of suffixes and prefixes. You can say an entire sentence in two words if you know suffixes and prefixes. Almost all the word roots are only three consonants long. So the vowels, while they have significance are lost in transliteration to English. Allehu and Elohim are nearly the same word; Elohim being plural "gods".

I concur with your expression that the real issue is one of a man knowing his identity, and that of His maker without doubt. That is exactly what I was trying to point at. If this relationship exists, then I can't see how it matters what word he uses for His name. And, whatever word he does use, I imagine, would be perfect for the situation for which he is using it. The word literally becomes an operator used to produce a desired result, and is no longer a signifier. You might understand my position on this better if you read what I have written on the "Free Will?" thread.
http://ecclesia.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=389
I never thought that a man must learn the Hebrew, it is exactly his relationship to himself and to Unity that ultimately matters, irrsepective of words. However, I may have misunderstood what you were saying, as I took you to say that only men who knew a certain Hebrew word, and its correct pronounciation, could possibly have the correct relationship. That is what I claim to be false. Please forgive me if I have misunderstood you. All scientific theories aside, I would need to see real evidence before I could even consider that their is only one absolute true name for Him. I can not conceive of limiting Him in that way. That a specific name has power in a certain time under certain circumstances, would not satisfy my need for evidence that it was the one and only correct name for all times and all circumstances. I may be proven wrong, but I find just thinking of the idea quite humorous.quote: Originally posted by David Merrill

"Reliable" sources, like words for God tend to be quite culture bound. As for which Concordance is more correct for Aramaic, ones that Westerners have developed, or one by the continuous users of Aramaic is an argument I have neither the time nor resources to get into. It is quite possible that two of the Western Concordances plaigerized the first. I have not done any research to have an opinion about that, but it would not be the first time that it happened in scholarship.
Quotes like the following mean nothing to me, and that is what I am happy to take from them. Logically, once His name is revealed, it could also be spoken, by anyone who heard it. (It is possible the author considers that as an acceptable kind of revelation, too.) This would not necessarily give someone repeating the name the right relationship, though, and that _is_ what matters.quote: His Name is Unspeakable except by those to whom He has revealed it.
Your response below, to the quote above, is differrent than mine. For me it is not a cop-out, but simply ignorance. I am lost about the relationship between the "cop-out", what I wrote, and Christian Qaballah. I will concur that "finger-pointing about who is demon possessed," is not a good thing. I see any one taking such actions as primarily ignorant, even if dangerous as well.quote: Originally posted by David Merrill

I am happy to have given you food-for-thought. You have offered banquets for thought to the rest of us. I never meant to suggest that all names claimed to be His name were accurate. What I was claiming is that the right relationship is not dependent on any specific form of His name. Those are two very different ideas. If you thought I was claiming all names as valid, I see the connection, I could not see above between the "cop-out", what I have written, and Christian Qaballah, but it is based on a miscommunication.

Thank you for pointing out the Pseudonomania. The noun in specific.

I have been speaking on the premise that we all understand God has only one name. The image of God within us demands we each have only one true name. The Topic title makes no sense otherwise. Why are we arguing over the proper name for the Messiah if we agree he has more than one?
God and the Messiah each have only one name. That is the basis of monotheism. The Shema:

The Jewish have another common substitution for His only Name - H'Shem. This means in Hebrew; The Name.
Thank you for explaining so eloquently why so many of you do not see my simple point about where to find it; the Name. You actually accuse the divine Creator of dichotomy and even multiple personality (disorder), to have more than one name. Dabbling in polytheism; probably out of projections of your own identity crisis (Robert James with three names etc).
I implore you all to accept that the Godhead has only one name. Also that each of you reading has only one name. I have been wondering how eight Pages of this debate can be generated all to deviate from the obvious truth. Now I think I have the answer.
Regards,
David Merrill.
P.S. Now I am starting to wonder if the dichotomy Christians project onto Yehovah stems from deifying the Messiah. That makes wonderful sense all of a sudden. "God in the flesh" with a different name.
P.P.S. With these new revelations to hash over, I will probably be found on the "advanced-resonance inductive plasma physics" thread. Presuming anyone is interested.

Message: Dear David Merrill,
There are elements of epistemology that you ignore. Granted they are all artifacts of mind, but that is what we have to use to discuss the issue at all. I won't try and argue with your faith, but to put a name to Him as His only true name, is to limit the truth of his omnipresence and Unity. In Unity there is no separation, not even for a name. To say there is only one name is not the same as saying there is only one God. So, I think your arguement that monotheism requires a single name is a bit specious. The Shema is an excellent basis for monotheism, but not in its interpretation as a name, but in its interpretation as a light/vibration that is co-extant with all of creation. It is exactly the belief in a singel name for God, and all that goes with it, that has led men to miss the truth of Unity, and needlessly damage each other. A man who relates to a name, but has not felt the truth of Unity is not in the fullness of Kingdom.
I fully appreciate your sharings. I feel we have much in common, yet are on different sides of a looking glass, or the field of parallel universes. (Yes, more poetry. :)
I think for me that is enough said for this topic.
Take Care & God Bless!,

Message: Dear Ishmael Aylwin;
I think you overlook the simple definition of NAME. See EPITHET, NICKNAME, TITLE, SURNAME, SLANG, SHINGLE, INFERENCE, CORPORATE SOLE, LEGAL NAME etc. etc. Of course there is only one true name for God. It is inconceivable to me that this somehow limits Him. I suppose that is because God is in my mind unlimited and unlimitable. The concept of monotheism is in my opinion stengthened by the fact He only has one name.
I apologize that this premise has been the source of my contention. That there could be so much confusion about the true name of God and the Messiah. I thought we were debating what that true name is. Now, if representative of others I have been arguing with, it turns out that many people here think there can be many names.
It defies logic (to me, anyway) that we have been debating which of many different names is the true name for Yehoshuah. I thought we were trying to select the one true name. So therefore I was suggesting authentic sources like concordances and respected lexicons. So I said contentious things to people for not doing it the way we do it in the "real world".
So I am sorry for my presumption about Christianity or whatever being monotheistic. But by definition, I think you will find with things, especially proper nouns like names are clearly called by one true name.

David Merrill.

Certainly Yahushuah called His Father...abba. And he was hated by the Jew's of his day, for using the tetragram casually. Yahuweh is The covenant God of scripture fame. YHWH is the symbol of this. Name sake...a fine study. Most people call me Bob, a pet name. Now, if I go play in a COURT, this is another matter.

Message: Dear Readers,
It is new and under trial but quite a fully functional mental construction you have delivered to me - reciprocal confirmation between legal name/true name and Father/Messiah; even multiple names for both Yehovah and Yehoshuah. Dualities can be blended together in confusion or become distinct in lucidity. This answers why abatements for misnomer fail sometimes. After a few days amid the confusion of jail or threatening letters from the IMFIRS, the former dichotomy (legal name/true name) seems not to matter. To many, the latter (Father/Messiah) never did and many are willing to die for the belief that Jesus is God. So if a man can have more than one name, why not Yehovah? Or Yehoshuah?
But anything other than true name is misnomer. Misnomer is a fatal error in any court.
I truly am grateful and also apologize about all the stuff I said, all the while presuming that you saw this concept the same way I do. Something brought me back here curious how pages could be filling with such a two-minute no-brainer in Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance.

Thoughts and miscellany . . .
So much strife over a word. Words are the imperfect inventions of men who try to convey that which transcends speech. With God Almighty, His words are not spoken with the mouth but with the whole heart and soul. His are words of love. He is not in the business of restricting the freedom of others to get lost in inane human thought. He is above that. Go to Him, and He will go to you. Call on his Name with your heart, and with your actions, not with your mouth . . . "in that day, they will call me Lord, Lord, but I will say, depart from me ye workers of iniquity. . ." Do his will, seek to enoble others instead of yourself, and only then will he inspire others to love and care for you in your time of need.
Some insecure men may use this kind of forum to show others how smart they are. Let each man instead testify of his own ignorance and of the greatness of God's mind, for God comprehends it all.
Without His Almighty Mind moving Me, I know nothing worthy of notice.
I love you all even if I think so much talk can be a waste of time when you could just get together and work for each other in building up your dreams of peace and plenty. Some of you are my brothers and friends and to see you verbally cut each other apart like monsters pains me. It pains me worse to see the most courageous slandered by one who does not understand him and his heart.
Seek to know yourselves better instead of being so ready to instruct everyone else. Know yourself, know who you are and whom you serve, and you will find Salvation.
BTW, Robert-James is correct, eeya-ou-wa (i-o-w-a) is closest to His name as it was spoken by those who saw Him face-to-face. Another name He answered to is Ah-men (Amen), or Aumen. Do not limit Him where he has not limited Himself or you. He does have more than one *spoken* name, but only One Real Name.
I answer to over a half-dozen pet names that assorted people have given me as tokens of our bonds to each other. Does that make me "schizo" as was suggested earlier? A name is a note, mark, token, given to one in subjection by one in authority over him. To make a friend is to delegate authority to him or her over you, even the authority to command your attention when he or she calls your name.
When you play court, you've gotta be careful of what name you answer to, and you've got to explain it to preserve honor on both sides.

Message: Greetings Robert-James and all, It is my belief that the reason we are here is to absorb the good and separate from that which is evil. Many here have felt the wrath of the criminaly insane possesive tricks of their trade... therefore to visit here and teach ways to come out, is of vital im-portance between Life and death. Some have had their seeds torn from them via the wretched middle-men/women, along with much labours and patience and love for His Truth along the way.
It is my belief that those whom critisize what we learn and condemn the "not so popular" ways to keep away, have evil sentiments and even be of that same mob whom screamed "crusify Him... crusify Him!" for it was those which by their mistaken believes thought they could hide behing the rocks. Little did they know yesterday as well as today, that "quick fixes" are like blowing The Breath of Life Into a fire to at-tempt to extinguish.
We are witnessing a world where the evil ones think they can "kick ass and take names" (pardon my English), but fail to realize that The Truth cannot be hidden, and will come right back to haunt them and bite them on their glutimus maximus.
I ask myself... what logic is there for seeing this way? Well... simply because I am a sinner, and everytime I over indulged myself with that which was toxic, I ended up throwing it back out. But then, understanding that dogs return to their own vomit, then and only then did I see and felt the difference between being a man created In His image versus an actors inventions.

So I think we may agree. But you cannot appear to explain it. You must maintain a court of competent jurisdiction. For instance, your last sentence is laced with a Second Daniel in the Lions Den. Maybe you have read that. If you look closely though, "Daniel" was subject to that municipal and police powers jurisdiction lock-stock-and barrel. He even had the penalties imposed just as if he had plead guilty. I remember when that first came off the press from the California Christian Jural Society and wondering why Randy Lee was trying to impress anyone that was a successful abatement. The attorney-in-the-black-robe took silent judicial notice that the jurisdiction was cured by appearance and just gleaned "Daniel" while behaving respectfully. Maybe you have not read the original transcript that I had.

Message: Greetings Solace, and welcome to the Ecclesia. Calling Yahowah, "Father" is fine, Solace, as long as one knows that all kings are called “sire”, i.e. father, and that by calling Him such one is merely acknowledging and honouring Him as the Head of their government. (1Corinthians 11:3) Rightly divide abba in the New Covenant [Testament]; it says "Of Chaldean origin [H2]" and when we go to H2 it says "corresponding to H1", and when we go to H1 in Brown-Driver-Briggs' Hebrew Definitions we see this as the very last entry "9) ruler or chief (specifically)". [Emphasis added] And to give one’s allegiance to someone or something that does not acknowledge Yahowah as the Higher Power by being obedient to Him, one is giving his allegiance to the Adversary of Yahowah. Easton’s Bible Dictionary Father A name applied (2.) as a title of respect to a chief, ruler... The Adversary of Yahowah is easily recognizable for those with eyes that perceive and ears that understand, for we shall see those running for OFFICE in the Adversary's government lying like their father [chief], we shall see them rewarding evil and punishing good; we shall see them shedding innocent blood in the land with no remorse; we shall see them devouring widows’ houses for a pretense; we shall see them committing adultery not only against their own country and wives, but even against the King of kings Himself; we shall see them and their agents bearing false witness against their neighbors; and we shall see them coveting and confiscating their neighbors’ possessions, land, homes, cars, and yes, even their children, under a myriad of pretexts [feigned words]. But let us have the Scripture be the last word on what we should call Him. We see this verse of the Scripture at Act 2:21 and Romans 10:13 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Where did Luke and Paul get these words and what are theses words, exactly? We can get a clue by looking at these verses of the Scripture in the Literal Translation of the Holy Bible. Act 2:21 "And it shall be that everyone who shall call on the name of the Lord will be saved." Joel 2:28-32 Romans 10:13 For everyone, "whoever may call on the name of the Lord will be saved." Joel 2:32 We see from this that they both have a common verse as their reference Joel 2:32, so let us now look at that verse of the Scripture in the King James Version with Strong’s numbers attached to know, in truth, what they were saying to us. Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass,[1961] that whosoever[3605], [834] shall call[7121] on the name[8034] of the LORD[3068] shall be delivered:[4422] Now, if “churchianity” is telling us the truth of the matter, number 3068 [H3068 in Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible] should say JESUS, right? So let us look and see if this is the case. H3068 - yehovah, yeh-ho-vaw'; From H1961; (the) self Existent or eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God: - Jehovah, the Lord. Compare H3050, H3069. Strange, we don't seem to see any mention of the name JESUS in the verse that Luke and Paul are quoting. So next, you might want to “search out the matter” [instructions from the Scripture] concerning the names JESUS and JEHOVAH. This could be an important “matter” since we now have the above three witnesses to it. Or are we to remain like the men of Athens? For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. Should we listen to the prophets who prophesy lies? How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal [Lord]. Look forward to your response to these seemingly important matters. And we should all remember… And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause Yahowah shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. …since a love of the truth seems to be an important matter in the eyes of the Creator.

I will explain my comment of my previous post first, then say what I can of the scriptures you presented. As for my education, I graduated from high school. I have not studied doctrine or theology, or any other professional field for that matter. As I have a high school education I can manage to string a few words together to make a sentence that is, for the most part at least, grammatically correct. As for the foolish comment, I would say that I am most certainly that. I mean that in no self-depreciating manner; I would be gladly foolish in the things of this world, but if God be willing, wise in the things of the Word.
On to the scripture. I can only say as the verses you presented say; that our kingdom is in Heaven. Christ is the head of that kingdom/government. He rules us (the children of God) absolutely. There is no opposition to his rule, for he does not accept "no" for an answer, in the same way that a father will not accept disobedience of a stubborn child. The child is reprimanded and forced to do his father's will. Thus God rules his kingdom as a father rules his family, for he is the father and we are the children.

Message: Kind regards once more, oneisraelite;
I do not know the "Good Tidings of Thomas", but I cannot argue with the context of what you posted. It is similar to what was written in the book of Luke.
Luke 19:11 ...and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
As for the parable that Christ spoke in this chapter, we must consider the exact context of how he presented it, and what we know it must mean. The nobleman that Christ referred to was himself. The kingdom that he went into a far country to receive was the kingdom of Heaven. The servants that he left behind were not the citizens of the kingdom of Heaven, for that kingdom was not yet come. They were rather the citizens of the old covenant, whose oath was to the law, and to the letter of the law.
These men hated Christ and the blessing that he represented. By the law they were required to work diligently on the Lord's behalf. For them that did great work much reward was given, as was the precept of the law. For them that did not, no reward was given, and moreover, what that they had was taken away. This was the government that was by law.
When Christ fulfilled the law, he brought to the new kingdom a new law, which was the law of grace. By grace the children of the new kingdom knew and understood who their father was, that he was the ruler of their lives. Where grace did abound, the law did no more abound, so that the letter of the law and the punishment of sin did no more apply to the children of the new kingdom.
Therefore the old covenant did, by its very nature, foster resentment from the citizens of the old kingdom, which is after all what it was meant to do. But the new covenant, the covenant of grace, allowed the children of the new kingdom to know their father, so that there was no rebellion in their hearts. Thus the true design of salvation was revealled, which was the purpose of both covenants, old and new.

Message: Greetings and salutations in the name of the King, Solace: Peace be unto the house. First, "kingdom of heaven" is a term used only by Mattith'yahu [Matthew], but that aside. We ask what is a "kingdom"? Strong's tells us that it is (concretely) a realm. So what is a realm? According to Webster's 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language it is: REALM, n. relm. [L. rex, king, whence regalis, royal.] 1. A royal jurisdiction or extent of government... Which agrees with what a "kingdom" is from the same source. KING'DOM, n. [king and dom, jurisdiction.] So our next question to you is, where exactly is this "jurisdiction" that we may be translated [transferred] into it without seeing physical death? TRANSLA'TE, v.t. [L. translatus, from transfero; trans, over, and fero, to bear.] 2. To remove or convey to heaven, as a human being, without death. green]Luke 9:27[/green] But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of Yahowah. Since it is written that Yahowah is NOT the 'Elohiym [Ruler] of dead, but of the living, contrary to what "churchianity" tells us, dying physically does not appear to be an option. In fact, Luke [assuming it is he who wrote Acts of the Apostles] tells us that David is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day, which again seems to indicate that dying physically is not an option. So, how do you perceive that we leave the jurisdiction of the creature [man] and enter into the jurisdiction of the Creator [Yahowah], for it seems obvious that we cannot be in both at the same time, in that they are contradistinct [have opposite qualities], since one is based on the Everlasting Moral Law of Yahowah and the other outlaws them, both in their schools and in their courts [morality, i.e. right and wrong, is not allowed here]? We anxiously await your answer to these two pressing questions, and thank you for your time.

Message: Let us reason together oneisraelite;
Romans 3:27 ...By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
We know that we are saved by grace through faith, therefore the law of faith and the law of grace are indeed one and the same, for the one leads only to the other.
Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
If then grace justifies, grace is the law by which we live. Whether or not you find the phrase "law of grace" within the scripture is irrelevant to the context in which I use it. By grace are we saved, and that is a law that has been spoken by God, for truly whatsoever the Lord sayeth is truth and the law which is to be obeyed.
To answer both your questions, we must therefore understand grace and the gospel.
Roman 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall also be in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 10 For in the he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Paul explains it here in a better way than I could ever hope to. We leave the jurisdiction of the law (which was given to man) and do by Christ's death, and our own death with him, enter into the jurisdiction of God, by means of grace. You are therefore incorrect; dying physically is the only option. It is through Christ's physical death, and our own with him, for truly the scripture tells us we are of one flesh with Christ, so that if it was his flesh that died upon the cross it must be our flesh also, that we enter into the kingdom of God. As verse seven says above: he that is dead is freed from sin. And we know that no sin can enter Heaven. Therefore by death (ours with Christ) are we freed from sin and we enter into the kingdom. This is what it means to let the old man of sin die.
This is the very simplicity of the gospel. As you pointed out in Luke 9:27 "But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of Yahowah." The kingdom of Heaven came to them even then, so that when they died with Christ they entered into Heaven. This is why the kingdom is not a thing that can be seen, because we walk on streets of gold already.
I am curious to know two things of you as well. First, you address yourself as we, so I can only assume that you speak for more than just yourself. If it is a matter that you would willingly divulge, whom others do you speak for? A spouse, a family, a church?
Second, and more importantly, what would your own answers to your questions in your previous post have been?

Message: Solace,
Your stance on the order and proper place of death is wrong. I don't have too much time, so I'll just touch on the major issues.
You said that we have to die, then we go to heaven. This is completely wrong. Jesus taught, "Whosover liveth and believeth on me shall never die," right after he rose Lazarus' dead body to life again. He was clearly talking about the death of the body, not some arcane, "spiritual death." The death of the body to the grave is part and parcel of spiritual death.
There is not a heaven that you go to when you die. You are commanded to create heaven with the will, power, and spirit that God has given you dominion over. And you are to create this heaven not only for yourself, but for all whom you can include according to the Law.
Jesus was not subject to death. That is why he "laid down his life" because he could live forever in the same body he was born with, without growing old and grey. And why? Because of his faith in the Father. The Greek Diaglot rendering of the scripture is, "And at that time, they who believe will live unto the end of the age." The end of an age is a LONG, LONG time.
What do you think ministering "angels" of old were? They were men from past eons who obeyed the gospel, and became so perfectly obedient to God that they are given power over everything, including the ability to reform the elements at will. This is why Jesus was able to turn water into wine--the power of the Father flowed through him, unobstructed by the impurity of religious delusion.
You are not meant to die. Man is the only known being that meditates on and fears death precisely because our instincts tell us it is not our designed end, yet so many of us don't know how to escape it.
You do not have to lay in the grave to be saved. You do have to pass through a change equivalent to death, but this does not mean the rotting of the body in the grave. You can keep your body, if you want it.
In the beginning Adam and Eve were immortal. Period. They were not subject to death. Right there in Genesis. No getting around it. Man was created immortal to begin with, so to say he now must die, contradicts God's original design.
Death entered by way of sin. Sin is delusion. You can never hit the mark if you continue walking around blinded by your own concepts and the deceit of your own half-sleeping mind.
Death entered man by way of sin. If a man trains to become no longer capable of sin, by becoming awake to the truth, then death has no hold on that man.
We do not have to die. Death is NOT part of the natural order of things in the realm of mankind. Men only think it is and perpetuate this delusion.

Message: Then by what you say Paul is a liar.
Did you even read the verses in Romans that I posted above? We were crucified with Christ, therefore we died. Did I or Paul say it ended there? No; once crucified we were resurrected with Christ also. Thus we live anew.
Sin died with the old man on the cross. This is the truth of the gospel, for so it is written in the scripture. The law of God has been fulfilled, and we are no longer subject to it. If no longer subject to the law, then we are no longer subject to sin, for without the law sin is dead. (Romans 7:8)
Sin is NOT delusion. Sin is the transgression of the law. Sin is disobedience to God, pure and simple. That is not delusion, that is something very real that everyone except for the elect do everyday.
Evidently you are a man who believes in works and not faith. You have said that you must create Heaven. What architect are you to create only that which God can create? Know you not what the scripture says;
Romans 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Would you then make God your debtor, that you by your work have created Heaven?

Message: I don't know whether those people are the same or not; they might be. But the point is the same, these people called Samaritans are keeping the original script while those who should have done kept it have instead preferred a corruption. The parable of the Good Samaritan applies in two ways: being a neighbor to ones fellow man and being a caretaker of God's business.
Another way to say this could be that God will appoint those who we dispise to do our jobs when we don't.
I wanted all to know that I recently discovered this forum and I am really enjoying the discourse. My first post here has to do with some revelation I got recently on Samaritans out of the woman of the well story in John 4:
I start at verse 4:
4 It was necessary for Him to go through Samaria.
When I write Jahshuwah I use a “J” to reach the Yah sound because historically it derived from the Yod, the first letter of Jahowah’s name that looks like a finger pointing, looking more like an “i” than a “y.” Apparently, in the 1500’s, in English, the “i” that had the Yah sound was extended below the line becoming a “j.” If you ask me at legalbear at legalbears.com, I will send you a comprehensive article explaining my use of the “j.”
Anyway, we know from John 5:19 that Jahshuwah only did what he saw the Father doing. From this fact I deduced that the reason it was necessary for Jahshuwah to “go through Samaria” was because He saw the Father doing that very thing.
In verse 8 I saw something of note:
8 For His disciples had gone off into the town to buy food—
My imagination ran wild on this one. The disciples are excited about finding the Messiah. They are enthralled and hanging on His every Word. They are like children that love to be with their parents. It must have taken Him some convincing to get them to go into town and leave Him there by Himself. Jahshuwah needs to get rid of them because He has seen that He has an appointment at this well with what is considered by those disciples to be a member of an unsavory race; at that time one of the lower stratums of that race; a woman.
5 And in doing so, He arrived at a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the tract of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 And Jacob's well was there.
Well look at that! This place has some history that is worth taking note of.
So Jahshuwah, tired as He was from His journey, sat down [to rest] by the well. It was then about the sixth hour (about noon).
He’s seen His Father sitting on the well; He has also seen that He has an appointment. Prophets do this sort of thing. In 1 Samuel 10 Samuel tells Saul, “3 Then you will go on from there and you will come to the oak of Tabor, and three men going up to Jahuwah at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three kids, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin bottle of wine. 4 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall accept from their hand.” Another example is 1 Kings 17; Jahuwah tells Elijah, “9 Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.” Another example is 1 Kings 20; the prophet had a message for the king, “38 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face. 39 And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king…” Getting an audience with a king is not difficult when Jahuwah shows you where to wait. Getting a convenient audience with a Samaritan woman is not difficult either when Jahuwah shows you to wait at the well. I’ve had this happen to me personally. I was sitting in one restaurant studying the scriptures when the Father spoke to me, “I want you to leave this restaurant and go to [a different restaurant]. When you get there [a certain man] will be there. I want you to talk to him about the baptism in the Set Apart Spirit.” I went to the other restaurant and it happened exactly as I was told. Another time the Father told me to go to the park and study and it turned out that I had an appointment with a 16 year old woman. The short story is that she got born again, delivered of numerous evil spirits, and baptized in the Set Apart Spirit. It was quite a memorable day for both of us.
7 Presently, when a woman of Samaria came along to draw water, Jahshuwah said to her, Give Me a drink--9The Samaritan woman said to Him, How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan [and a] woman, for a drink?--For the Jews have nothing to do with the Samaritans—
Oh, there’s the one He has an appointment with. I think I found the answer to the Samaritan woman’s question in John 12:50, “So whatever I speak, I am saying [exactly] what My Father has told Me to say and in accordance with His instructions.” Jahshuwah heard the Father start the conversation by asking for a drink.
10 Jahshuwah answered her, If you had only known and had recognized Jahuwah's gift and Who this is that is saying to you, Give Me a drink, you would have asked Him [instead] and He would have given you living water.
So, Jahshuwah is saying that she didn’t know and recognize Jahuwah’s gift, or, who was talking to her. I think most people would get offended by being told that they “failed” at anything; let alone failed to recognize a gift from Jahuwah or who it was that was speaking to them. If Jahshuwah has to tell her that she missed it, then it would also seem likely that His reasonable expectation is that people would recognize who He was and what Jahuwah’s gift was. See John 1:11, “He came to that which belonged to Him [to His own--His domain, creation, things, world], and they who were His own did not receive Him and did not welcome Him.”
11She said to Him, Sir, You have nothing to draw with [no drawing bucket] and the well is deep; how then can You provide living water? [Where do You get Your living water?]
That is one inquisitive Samaritan woman. I wonder if her inquisitiveness is part of the reason she had an appointment with the Anointed One? It seems to me that she, as part of her nature, was continuously asking childlike questions. We know from Malachi 3:6 that Jahuwah doesn’t change. Jahshuwah expressed eternal principles in Mat. 7 when He said, “7 Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, if his son asks him for a loaf of bread, will hand him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will hand him a serpent? 11 If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give good and advantageous things to those who keep on asking Him!” This woman must have already been asking the Father all kinds of questions. In keeping with His eternal principles, he’s sending the answer and a Gift this day at the well. It is written in John 6:45, “It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of Jahuwah. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.”
12Are You greater than and superior to our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this well and who used to drink from it himself, and his sons and his cattle also?
Look what this woman has been thinking about; her ancestry! She’s proud to be a descendant of Jacob and Jahshuwah doesn’t disagree with her on that point! Jahshuwah eventually explained further a general principle of why He waited at the well that day in Matthew 15:24, “…I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
13 Jahshuwah answered her, All who drink of this water will be thirsty again. 14 But whoever takes a drink of the water that I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling) [continually] within him unto (into, for) eternal life. 15 The woman said to Him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may never get thirsty nor have to come [continually all the way] here to draw.
This woman is ready to go; whatever He has for her, she’s up for it! She doesn’t know how it works, but, she’s ready for supernatural water.
16At this, Jahshuwah said to her, Go, call your husband and come back here. 17The woman answered, I have no husband.
This woman is interested in truth even at the cost of her own reputation. This is a Way that we should all be; ready to die for the truth! Philippians 2 says it this way, “5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Jahshuwah HaMashaich: 6 Who, being in the form of Jahuwah, thought it not robbery to be equal with Jahuwah: 7 But made himself of no reputation,…”
Jahshuwah said to her, You have spoken truly in saying, I have no husband. 18 For you have had five husbands, and the man you are now living with is not your husband. In this you have spoken truly. 19 The woman said to Him, Sir, I see and understand that You are a prophet.
Amazing! How did this woman come to the conclusion so quickly that He was a prophet? How about this? Do you think she may have had said a prayer asking that a prophet be sent with the answers to her questions? If she had been expectantly believing that her prayer would be answered it would explain her quick conclusion.
20Our forefathers worshiped on this mountain, but you [Jews] say that Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary and proper to worship.
See how she keeps her balance and is not caught off guard? She has been rehearsing this moment and has her questions all lined up. Here’s the answer to her prayer and she’s seizing the moment. What is the number one issue on her mind; getting to the truth! She wants to know about the “necessary and proper” way to worship. What her forefathers said carries some weight with her. Isn’t it just like religious people? They assert the truth and then erect barriers to keep what they consider the social outcasts from obtaining or accomplishing it. They must have said something like, ‘You’re supposed to worship in Jerusalem, but we don’t want you here.’
21Jahshuwah said to her, Woman, believe Me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither [merely] in this mountain nor [merely] in Jerusalem.
Oh man, this has to be music to her ears; the prophet says that she is not an outcast and that she “will worship the Father.”
22 You [Samaritans] do not know what you are worshiping [you worship what you do not comprehend]. We do know what we are worshiping [we worship what we have knowledge of and understand], for [after all] salvation comes from [among] the Jews.
To me it is very offensive to be told that not only are you wrong, but you’ve been wrong to the point of not even comprehending or suspecting how wrong you are. To be told that you don’t even know what you have been worshipping; ouch! Jahshuwah didn’t candy coat the truth and neither should we. People who use the pagan names “God” and “Jesus” to describe the Father and the Son are in much the same position; wrong and not even understanding how wrong they are.
Skipping to verse 25:
25 The woman said to Him, I know that Messiah is coming, He Who is called the the Anointed One; and when He arrives, He will tell us everything we need to know and make it clear to us. 26 Jahshuwah said to her, I Who now speak with you am He.
Wow! This Samaritan woman believes in and is waiting for the Messiah! She is excited about His coming and clearing up everything. Look what she gets! I can’t think of many other places, if there are any that exist at all, where Jahshuwah comes right out and says straight up, I am the Anointed One. To me, this happening to this woman makes her special.
27 Just then His disciples came and they wondered (were surprised, astonished) to find Him talking with a woman. However, not one of them asked Him, What are You inquiring about? or What do You want? or, Why do You speak with her? 28 Then the woman left her water jar and went away to the town.
Now this is a woman that you can tell is going to bear some fruit. She left her water jar behind. The cares of this world described in Mark 4:18-19 do not enter in, allowing the word that she just heard to become fruitful.
And she began telling the people, 29 Come, see a Man Who has told me everything that I ever did! Can this be [is not this] the Messiah, the Anointed One? 30 So the people left the town and set out to go to Him.
So, she becomes an effective evangelist for Jahshuwah in this Samaritan town; of all places.
31 Meanwhile, the disciples urged Him saying, Rabbi, eat something. 32 But He assured them, I have food (nourishment) to eat of which you know nothing and have no idea. 33 So the disciples said one to another, Has someone brought Him something to eat? 34 Jahshuwah said to them, My food (nourishment) is to do the will (pleasure) of Him Who sent Me and to accomplish and completely finish His work.
Yeah, like waiting at a well for an appointment with a truth seeker to answer some questions and start a revival.
Skipping to verse 39:
39Now numerous Samaritans from that town believed in and trusted in Him because of what the woman said when she declared and testified, He told me everything that I ever did. 40So when the Samaritans arrived, they asked Him to remain with them, and He did stay there two days. 41Then many more believed in and adhered to and relied on Him because of His personal message [what He Himself said]. 42And they told the woman, Now we no longer believe (trust, have faith) just because of what you said; for we have heard Him ourselves [personally], and we know that He truly is the Savior of the world, the Anointed One.

Message: [/quote]Greetings, Daron:
The messiah's name is indeed now Yahweh.
From Deborajah Taylor's article "Hallowed be Thy Name" which I will send you if you request by email at legalbear at legalbears.com:
What About Yahveh or Yahweh?
For centuries the Jews have insisted that the Sacred HaShem be substituted and hidden in order that it not be proclaimed aloud. As stated previously in this article, YHWH openly charged the Jews of profaning and altering his Shem. Now suddenly their records state the true pronunciation of the HaShem is Yahweh.
Since the Scriptures openly tell us the Scribes have falsified the Torah44, can we indeed trust these records or is it just another big cover-up? Does this name of Yahweh have anything to do with the Sacred Hebdomad and the worship of the Seven Planets? Has that “old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan” once again deceived us? Let’s find out.
It is a well-known fact that the Samaritans were transplanted to the land of Israel from ancient Babylonia, as related in 2 Kings 17. What is not well known is their connection with the ancient Amorites and their mutual god Yahweh. The Samaritans were descendants of the ancient Amorites and remained in the region of Babylonia after the collapse of Dynasty I of Babylon. Mari was the name of their kingdom before Dynasty I of Babylon. The god of the ancient Amorites was Yawi, also spelled Yawe, Yahwi, or Yahweh.
Nimrod, as god of the Mysteries, was worshipped under many different names. Yahweh was just one of the numerous names of Nimrod. The Amorites worshipped Nimrod as Yawi and Semiramis as Mari.
The Biblical Amorites were Hamitic, not Semitic.45 Prominent gods of the Amorites were Dagon, Hadad and Anat.
Dagon – a fish god, who was just another image of Nimrod.
Hadad – also known as Baal-Hadad. The Hebrew word D-D means “uncle.” One such Baal worshipped in our land is better known to us as “Uncle Sam.”
Anath – a goddess portrayed as having an intense love for Baal/Lord and is usually paired with him as his consort and ally. Victories over certain enemies,

Message: Dear LegalBear;
I have done some research and the Father's name is pronounced Yehovah - with a long "o" sound after the first h. B and V are hybrid half-way between the two sounds as we know them. When used in a prefix, like for God is (my) salvation the long O sound stays: Yehoshuah.
Some Jewish books reveal the simplicity of the ineffible name to simply be the same vowel sounds and fully expressing each letter. "Yodi-Heheh-Wavoh-Heyah". This is the name that the letters add up to 72; the "72-Fold Name" allegedly spoken only by the high priest on Yom Kippur - the Day of Atonement; Leviticus 23.

David Merrill.

If this can be verified as truth, then one can understand why the Masons apparently used this name at one time as their "password". It certainly is worthy of more exploration. Thank you.

My first post here has to do with some revelation I got recently on Samaritans out of the woman of the well story in John 4: ...
Hi LegalBear,
The story at John 4 really is something. Christ Himself going to Samaria, initiating contact with a Samaritan woman, then staying two days to teach them. That's some message to those who pride themselves in their status among men. As is obvious, God sees differently.
It highlights something that's been hitting me of late, that which is spoken of at Revelation 3:
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
It appears to me that God places the wicked above the uncommitted - committed in the sense of actual works, not supposed alignment. I've perceived that the wicked have, in their own strange way, a righteousness that exceeds that of the mob. It seems to me that people who follow the laws of wickedness are more likely to find salvation than those committed to the winds of fashion. At least they are noble enough (if I can say it that way) to follow a "law." The righteous have God's law to keep (which is in their hearts); the wicked keep theirs; but God places the lawless among murders:
1 Ti 1:9* Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
Who are the lawless except those that have no law? Examples would be those who know we're all to pay income tax to the I.R.S., have driver licenses to use automobiles on the public rights of way, send our children to public schools, and so on. The law does not force any of the proceeding things, but applies only in limited situations (as I'm sure you are aware) in this Christian land. But they don't want to hear about the law - they gape in astonished horror if someone "drives" without a license, and cluck their tongues when someone goes to jail for alleged "tax evasion." To me this is the same casual do-as-everyone-else-is-doing mentality that led the mob to join the shout for Christ's crucifixion.
That Christ taught the 'evil', lowly Samaritans - initiating contact through a woman (lowest of the low) - shows the "I've never done anything really bad" crowd how low on the spiritual food chain they really are. Their works and lack of evil deeds is not the issue. They are, we all are, as you referenced Phil 2:7, to make ourselves like Christ who made Himself of no reputation. Our reputations among men are of no consequence, we are to serve God. It seems to me that one's "friends" who drink and dine with you but who wouldn't lift a finger to aid you are more wicked than the gang of thieves which robs your house. That's what the parable of the good Samaritan says to me. We all fall short and it's Christ righteousness we put on in baptism, not our own, isn't it?

Message: Greetings and salutations in the name of the King, brother Walter: Peace be unto the house. Your take on the “lukewarm” verse from Revelations is quite interesting and brought to mind something I once read in a book entitled “Uncommon Sense”. In this book the author explains that prior to the war with King George, 2% were in favor of independence from England, 2% were dead-set against it, and 96% were undecided and went with whichever side happened to have the upper hold at any given moment. The 2% for, and the 2% against, though bitter enemies, had respect for each other, but neither of them had one iota of respect for the 96% that went wherever the wind blew; they could not be trusted by either side, it seems.

In defense of some part of that 96%, I suspect that there were some who legitimately did not consider the difference worth fighting over. But the larger part, much like many today, likely didn't know or care about anything other than their own bellies, and could not muster enough concern over his fellow man's plight to defend him against tyranny. Imagine if even twenty percent of the people today took an active concern over government's treading outside its lawful bounds - most of the problems we face would be solved, I believe.
But let's face it, this is the way people are. Only a small portion truly care about much other than themselves. Many who say they care buy off their moral responsibilities with donations so they can continue their lives of leisure. To be truly effective in a cause of any sort one must study and learn and practice and study and learn more. Churches are filled with the morally lazy who, in effect, enjoy a religious show every Sunday (or other day). We are to show ourselves approved by study. 2 Ti 2:15 --I expect I'm preaching to the choir here.-- I've begun to think that these unconcerned are more loveless and evil than the criminals we worry about.
And we must also be aware that there are those among the sheep who intentionally mislead them for destruction (not merely for filthy lucre); I believe those to be a significant percentage, these wolves among sheep who disuade and misdirect those seeking truth. I recall the handfull of so-called Christian men I've dealt with in more than a casual way the past several years, and I have to say that a good third I now believe to be devils. Another third have 'problems' in exhibiting Christ-like behavior to their fellows or are content to sit on their laurels. (I don't mean that I or anyone lacks some sort of 'issues,' but that these men were constantly selfish, boastful, or brutish.) Such are the hazards of life, ehh?
Well, I've gone into a rant-like thing again...

Message: Recently, these excepted paragraphs were posted to another group. These words from these paragraphs have set heavy on me since. Walter gave an admonition about ravening wolves that scatter the flock and, although I am ignorant of some of the process of creation, some of the following does not set well.
We of the Kingdom have our identity through the King. The preaching of His Kingdom and making disciples of Him is foremost. Law and legal issues are an aside that need consideration to be able to correctly decipher the Kingdom, how the Kingdom works and how to deal with those who don't take on the government of that Kingdom. They also help me to understand how to love my neighbor as myself but foremost is the Kings' Kingdom and the government of that Kingdom.
(Excepted paragraphs) ... "As we are told that the scriptures are given for our edification we need to understand that the world was/is full of scriptures. The most ancient of man’s scriptures are, to my knowledge, those of The Hermetic Order of Luxor, Egypt.
Within them are the teachings that in the beginning there was only the Spirit. And in order for that Infinite Spirit to become matter, an equal portion (how could a fraction of infinity not be infinite?) of said Spirit, say a “Son” had to “die” to the ultra high frequency off the mass-less energy that is Spirit, in order to become the lower “frequency” of the Infinite that is matter.
Six thousand years ago, it is recorded that a group of these Creationist missionaries went out into the world in order to teach of the Creations of the Infinite Spirit. Via the available understanding of the Man, it was taught that a equal Son of God “died” and spent three cyclic periods/days of creation in/as the bowels of the earth in order that we [might] live, and move, and have our being [in him]; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Acts 17:28.
As the facts are that there are 16 “world” saviors that have been recorded as having been crucified on the cross through-out the world, we would do best to know that archeologists have proven that the ancient Mesopotamians used the cross at least 4,000 years ago in their “spring equinox” festivities. We can know that the very first “Easter eggs,” as a symbol of the re-birth of the world, had crosses painted on them. The ‘cross’ was a symbol for the Earth long before the life of Jesus on the Earth ... (end Excepted paragraphs).
This identity of the King of the Kingdom is from 1 Corinthians 15:45 ... "And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit" ...
By translating the Hebrew word "adam" as a proper name and not an adjective enhancing the definition of to two particular and peculiar entities, I can easily jump the gap to ... a group of these Creationist missionaries ... and ... 16 “world” saviors ...
On the other hand, if I translate the Hebrew word "adam" as an adjective peculiar to two entities only, I can come up with the Lawful basis for a King of a Kingdom instead of just one of the sixteen ... "world" saviors ...
The historicity of the cross (tav or tau - the last letter of the Hebrew alef-bet) and the fertility festival with its egg symbol cannot be argued. What can be debated is where it came from. Did the legends of the fertility goddess come from the first adam or did the "virgin" birth come from the myths?
These are important questions of identity of Kingdom people. The "virgin" birth deals with identity of a King. (an aside - she cannot have been a "virgin" in a semantic sense because once the head of the baby breaches the matrix, she is no longer a virgin, so, no "virgin" birth is possible but inception of a virgin woman is entirely possible, did you ever A.I. a cow to induce pregnancy? ).
There are no contradictions only wrong premises. Have we a wrong premise concerning the "virgin" birth or is the "virgin" birth to be relegated to the "mystery" religions?
quote: man being the blood of Him ties into the whole blood shed on the cross and the why of it. It also touches this whole mythology of the 'virgin' birth, giving it a notorious beginning outside of Christian adoption of the 'mysteries' so adapted to Catholicism and religion.

Message: Of a Virgin?
H1330 bethulah BDB Definition: 1) virgin Part of Speech: noun feminine
H1330 bethulah beth-oo-law' Strong’s Definition: Feminine passive participle of an unused root meaning to separate; a virgin (from her privacy); sometimes (by continuation) a bride; also (figuratively) a city or state
Yasha’yahu [Isaiah] 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin [#5959] shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel [with you is the Chief].
H5959 almah BDB Definition: 1) virgin, young woman 1a) of marriageable age 1b) maid or newly married
H5959 almah al-maw' Strong’s Defintion: Feminine of H5958; a lass (as veiled or private)
L'ASS, n. A young woman; a girl. – Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language
Of the twenty-six times that we see the word “virgin” in the Old Covenant [Testament] only twice do we find the Hebrew word almah underlying it. Fully twenty-four times we find bethulah as the word for virgin.
Oh, and one more thought on this, Joseph, i.e. Yahu'caph means, Yahowah's Threshold; if Yahu'caph [Joseph] was not his earthly progenitor how could he be Yahowah's Threshold? Just a question.

Message: oneisraelite, for what it's worth, I also came up with the same conclusion concerning virgin vs. young woman a while back. Also, when reading the whole story in Isaiah it is plain to see that the young woman of the prophecy was Isaiah's own wife or concubine and it was the promise of the birth of her boy that was being offered to King Ahaz as a sign that YHWH would protect his kingdom from it's enemies. By the time the boy was able to know good from evil the problem would be solved. The seventh chapter in the Book of Isaiah begins by outlining the crisis that was confronting the Kingdom of Judah. Around the year 732 B.C.E., the House of David was facing imminent destruction at the hands of two warring kingdoms: the Northern Kingdom of Israel, led by King Peqah, and the Kingdom of Syria (Aram), led by King Retsin. These two armies had besieged Jerusalem. Isaiah states that the House of David and King Ahaz were deeply afraid. Isaiah reassured King Ahaz that divine protection was at hand and that their deliverance was assured, and these two hostile armies would fail in their attempt to defeat Jerusalem. 2 Kings 15:29-30 and 2 Kings 16:9, confirm that this prophecy was fulfilled when these two kings were assassinated.

Message: Some random thoughts for all to consider. We find it interesting that the two accounts of this “virgin” birth do not, apparently, match. In Mattith’yahu [Matthew] we see it recounted that the angel [messenger] came to Yahu’caph [Joseph]: But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of Yahowah appeared unto him in a dream… …while in Luke this messenger of Yahowah came to Meriyam [Mary]: And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, Yahowah is with thee: blessed [spoken of highly] art thou among women. Also there seems to be only one witness that Yahu’caph [Joseph] and Meriyam [Mary] went to Bethlehem to be enrolled [not taxed], though admittedly this enrollment was, in all probability, for the purpose of taxation, since the caesar had put out a decree, apparently for the first time, that “all the world should be taxed [H583]”. G583 apographo Thayer Definition: 1) to write off, copy (from some pattern) 2) to enter in a register or records 2a) spec. to enter in public records the names of men, their property and income 2b) to enroll ENROLL, v.t. 1. To write in a roll or register; to insert a name or enter in a list or catalogue; as, men are enrolled for service. 2. To record; to insert in records; to leave in writing. 3. To wrap; to involve We see from this that these two people, Yahu’caph and Meriyam may have not yet been “enrolled” as citizens, i.e. taxable entities. This might, in an allegorical sense, make them both “virgins”, that is to say they had not yet been screwed, as it were, by the Roman empire. Further, there is no evidence that they ever actually did enroll! Also, if we look at this “virgin” in a Scriptural sense, rather than a secular sense, perhaps we may find something altogether different. For example: 1Corinthians 7:34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord… We see here that a virgin is defined, by Shaul, as unmarried…which of course agrees with the prophesy found at Yasha’yahu [Isaiah] 7:14, since the word used in that verse is ‘almah, which is the feminine of ‘elem, which simply means, “young man”. Brown-Driver-Briggs’ Hebrew Definitions tells us that this can be a “maid” [or maiden] and Dr Strong tells us that it is a “lass (as veiled or private)”. MA'IDEN, n. 1. An unmarried woman, or a young unmarried woman… L'ASS, n. A young woman; a girl. The things we see in common between bethulah and ‘almah [See previous post] are the common denominator, private/privacy. Being “private” can mean… PRI'VATE, a. [L. privatus, from privo, to bereave, properly to strip or separate; privus, singular, several, peculiar to one's self, that is, separate; rapio, diripio, eripio; privo for perivo or berivo.] 4. Not publicly known... 5. Not invested with public office... 6. Individual; personal; in contradistinction from public or national... CONTRADISTINCT, a. Distinguished by opposite qualities. This, of course, takes us back to the possibility that they were both “virgins” to the STATE, i.e. they were not "married" [unmarried] by the STATE, neither were they "married" to the STATE and hence were “not invested with [the] public office” of PERSON.

Huge celebrations were planned. The whole empire was at peace. The doors of the temple of Janus were closed for only the third time in Roman history. To honor their emperor, the people were to rise as one and name him pater patriae, or Father of the Country. This enrollment, described in the Book of Luke, which brought Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem, has always been a mystery since no regular census occurred at this time.

Greetings to you and yours. I agree we need to have a proper understanding of the word H430. To do this we need to study how the word is used in the Bible. Having said that, can you provide even one example where the word H430 is used in a context which means non-Israelite earthly ruler? From my studies the only time this word is ever used when referring to men is when it is used to address Israelites in the context of a ruling position in the community (which was dismantled until the return back to the promised land, so says the Bible).
Hebrew is a very exact language and we would need to find the word H430 used in a context which supports your assertion. Given the theologies of Samuel, Daniel and Paul I think this proof is key.
Hope this post find you all warm and dry.

Hello Robert-James. You have already agreed with me on this topic.
Rewind to Logic 101 thread...Posted - Jun 27 2004 : 06:37:26 AM
Robert-James: there must be over one hundred times the word elohim is used for anything BUT a physical Israelite. Just look up the word Gods, or gods, in Strong's concordance. #430 in hebrew.
Steve: ....we have covered this point in detail already.....the topic has boiled down to this essential, all important point.
Find us even one example in Scripture where the word #430 is used to describe a flesh and blood, non-Israelite ruler.
Until we can find this evidence, to speculate that #430 can be used to define a flesh and blood, non-Israelite ruler is like speculating over the temperature of the make-believe water in a mirage.
Robert-James said: Ah, now I get it. Your correct. Exodus 21:6 and 22:8-9 the word judge is elohim, and it references Israelite judges. Agreed.

Message: Those who live in the past, live with shadows. Try gods, as there are many examples where #430 in plural form, describes what you say dosen't exist in scripture. If one is sincere in questioning, #430 plural has numerous examples to accenctuate oneisraelite's point of viewing the word 'elohim'. Comprende? When one ARGUES in a modern COURT, one loses his standing and gives up his Peace and jurisdiction. Same thing happens in relationships. Without arguement, the paleo-hebrew word elohim in the plural especially, translated into American-English as used in the KJV...many times re-presents gods, and these gods have nothing and are nothing, but figments of one's imagination. Your question to the ecclesia was, "show me once". I only hoped to point out that many times "gods" in Strongs Concordance has nothing to do with Israelite judges. This is a given, for those who care to look. As a point of fact, I mentioned two times elohim references Israelites. Did someone ASSUME I meant the word 'gods'? That is not my problem. Rather than compete with El-Elyon's Spirit offspring, take the competitive spirit to those judges keeping score...or is that JUDGES? At that time, one will learn not to ARGUE. BTW, Yahushuah, son of Yoseph, is his name. Place your own vowels. Now, the son of David is another story. Yediadiah. The son of Yoseph was sold unto slavery by his brethern, as was Yahushuah. And they both learned how to forgive. Yoseph's Egyptian name meant, 'saviour of the world'. What a paradox? Yahushuah would not accept the title-name...son of David, in his earthly walk. He knew better. Psalm 110. In the septuagint, the prophetic name Nathan gave David's son was Jedi. Cute eh? Sol-Om-On never wore that name, never. So what are we looking for? Scoring points within the ecclesia or Truth?

Let me prove to you that the first and second commandment is directly linked to the worshiping false 'non-human' deities who are dreamed up to replace YHWH as the One who created the universe and everything in it:
Exodus 19:20 - Moses goes to get the first set of commands.
Exodus 24:7 - Covenant accepted, Moses goes back to YHWH and get's more details after the first basic agreement is accepted.
Exodus 32:1 - Frustrated with Moses' being gone, the Israelites press Aaron to make up some gods to represent their release from Egypt.
Here is the first breach of the convenant:
Exodus 32:2 - And Aaron said unto them, Break off the rings of gold, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters,- and bring them unto me. 3 And the people of themselves brake off the rings of gold which were in their ears, - and brought them unto Aaron. 4 And he received the gold at their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf, and they said:
These are thy gods O Israel, who brought you thee up out of the land of Egypt. And when Aaron saw it he built an alter before it.
Exodus 32:8 - They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These [be] thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
What commandments did they break? The first and second. How: By worshipping the false calf gods they dreamed up (1st commandment) and making graven images of the same (2nd commandment). For your Elohim concept to work you would need to somehow show that the golden calfs were actually real men and the graven images GOVT ID's which turned the Israelites into LEGAL FICTIONS.. However, at this early point there were no foreign GOVT's for the Israelites to submit to. Only themselves out in the wilderness.

You said 'cash cow'. I asked how could you make the golden calf spoken of in Exodus into what is known today as a 'cash cow'. quote: In and of itself it is nothing; it is an inanimate object! It is those flesh and blood creatures that stand behind it that are the 'elohiym not the statue itself.
The Israelites in Exodus did not request the calf to be made in honor of a government man, but rather to represent the deity who they claim brought them out of Egypt. There is much history and archaeology which proves that people in the Middle East believed in and worshipped various cosmic deities. Deities which they believed performed miracles, created the universe, etc. Even built temples to them... The golden calf incident in Exodus 32 was the first ever breach of the covenant wherein the Israelites clearly violated the first and second commands.

Message: quote: COSMICAL, a. s as z. [Gr., order, the world.] 1. Relating to the world…
There’s much evidence that people all over the earth worship various “cosmic” deities, and one does not have to dig very deep to find it.
What type of word would you use to describe an imaginary non-human deity, say like Chemosh? Which ever one you choose, that is what I was trying to convey.
Cosmic: adjective 1. of whole universe: relating to the whole universe. As you know other cultures had their gods whom they say created the universe, created living beings, performed miracles.
Here are some examples of imaginary gods which the first and second commandment forbid worship to:
The Golden Calf of Egypt The Bull Cult. "Musical Worship: Prehistoric religious practice originating in the eastern Aegean and extending from the Indus Valley of Pakistan to the Danube in eastern Europe centered on the bull. The bull god's symbol was the phallus, and in the east the bull often was depicted as the partner of the great goddess of fertility, thereby representing the virile principle of generation and invincible force. Numerous representations of the bull have been uncovered, many designed to be worn as a charm or amulet; these representations were probably copies of larger statues constructed in tribal sanctuaries.
Chemosh Meaning: the destroyer, subduer, or fish-god
the god of the Moabites (Num. 21:29; Jer. 48:7, 13, 46)
The worship of this god, "the abomination of Moab," was introduced at Jerusalem by Solomon (1 Kings 11:7), but was abolished by Josiah (2 Kings 23:13). On the "Moabite stone" (q.v.), Mesha (2 Kings 3:5) ascribes his victories over the king of Israel to this god, "And Chemosh drove him before my sight."
quote: Exodus 23:32 Thou shalt make no covenant [H1285] with them, nor with their ‘elohiym. [H430]
…how would you make a covenant/contract/meeting of the minds with the "cash cow" as it forbids us to do here at Exodus 23:32?
Please explain to me how you are making a "cash-cow", as the term is known to us today, from the golden calf in Exodus 32. The idol created was not a source of steady income, like a job, but rather a graven image to be worshipped in representation of the gods which the people claimed "brought them out of Egypt". Until you do this I can't see how you are making the literal connection.
Also, you had asked earlier how one could make a covenant to an imaginary god. I'll give you an example from my own experience.
During the summer when I was a child between the grades of sixth and seventh I accepted Ea-Zeus as my 'personal saviour' at a Baptist Church. That would be making a covenant with an imaginary god. Ea-Zeus is a composite man-god made up from various pagan deities mixed with the attributes of the Moshiac expected by the Jews. That was a breach of the first commandment on my part. I did not have any Ea-Zeus statues that I prayed to so at least there was no breach of the second commandment.

quote: I believe that anyone who has read the Scriptures with understanding will agree that the Eternal Moral Law of Yahowah is reiterated in the new covenant [testament], though not collectively as in Exodus; this being truth, where is the First Commandment restated? It is our humble opinion that this is the verse that covers that...We ought to obey Yahowah rather than men and, for it is written, Thou shalt worship Yahowah thy 'Elohiym, and him only shalt thou serve.
I think this statement backs up my posts above. In Exodus 32 we have a perfect example of this breach in the golden calf as well as many other examples where the Israelites worshipped the false elohiym. One such example was Solomon's setting up temples to Chemosh. Another is when the Israelites were seduced by pagan females to participate in feasts and rituals in honor of baal-peor (a pagan god worshipped with sex rituals). Hinduism also has thousands of these imaginary elohym. During the NT times we still see that this type of worship was common place.
As for the direct context of the scripture you quoted from Acts 5 we see the reason the Apostles made this statement to the Saducees was because they were healing sick people, performing signs and wonders and preaching forgivness of sin in Jesus' name. The Saducees demanded they stop and the Apostles said they should listen to God and not men. We know that the NT teaches that Jesus was God incarnate, birthed from his mother who was impregnated by the Holy Spirit thus giving him a virgin birth. Jesus commanded the Apostles to heal the sick and perform signs and wonders so it makes sense that they would respond this way.

Thanks for the caring words in your last post. This is a good time to give a little more detail on this touchy subject. I have no worries about going against the Talmud but that was not the point I was making when I spoke of my breach of the first commandment. So you understand my position on this matter: I believe that Yahowshua and Jesus (the composite of Ea and Zeus)are not the same. Yahowshua most likely was a real man who emerged from the second temple era. Ea-Zeus is the pagan overlay (completed in 325 CE at the council of Nicea) attempting to merge the real man with the popular godman myths in a political move to create a consolidated state religion for Rome.
Hope this post finds you all well, Steve

You said 'cash cow'. I asked how could you make the golden calf spoken of in Exodus into what is known today as a 'cash cow'. In and of itself it is nothing; it is an inanimate object! It is those flesh and blood creatures that stand behind it that are the 'elohiym not the statue itself.
The Israelites in Exodus did not request the calf to be made in honor of a government man, but rather to represent the deity who they claim brought them out of Egypt. There is much history and archaeology which proves that people in the Middle East believed in and worshipped various cosmic deities. Deities which they believed performed miracles, created the universe, etc. Even built temples to them... The golden calf incident in Exodus 32 was the first ever breach of the covenant wherein the Israelites clearly violated the first and second commands.

Would God's ministers add to his law?? Did Yeshua bow to Caesar a self proclaimed god by paying the tax? Did Danial eat of the Kings Dainties? Did Shadrach Meshak and Abednigo bow?
I think you have your answer as to whether we are to obey false de facto governments when their laws violate God's command..

Steve,
Yes, we do believe that the golden calf incident occured as scripted in the Scriptures.
quote: Exodus 32:1-5: Verse 1... When the people saw Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together around Aaron, and said to him; Come, make us a god (el) who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.
Verse 2.... Then Aaron said to them; Break off the golden earrings in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.
Verse 3.... So all the people took off their earrings, and brought them to Aaron.
Verse 4.... He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with an engraving tool. Then they said; This is your god (el), O Israyl, that brought you out of land of Egypt!
Verse 5.... When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the (calf), and announced; Tomorrow is a feast to Yahweh.
In the book entitled Baal Worship the author Peter J. Peters writes...
quote: Notice that at the very beginning of their marriage, Israyl turned to Baal worship. When they broke the First Commandmnent , it constituted a violation of their marriage vows. Did they see themselves as Baal worshippers? If you would have asked them whom they worshipped, they would have said they worshipped Yahweh. Look at verse 5.
After they set up [this other god], they then allotted a day to feast unto [Yahweh]. Notice they did not consider themselves Baal worshippers. They did not acknowledge breaking any of [Yahweh's] Laws, or having done anything wrong. Brothers and sisters in [Messiah], we must learn to see things as [Yahweh] sees them. How did [Yahweh see this whole situation? If we would but put on the mind of [Messiah], we would begin to see things as [Yahweh] does. Look at verses 9 and 10:
And [Yahweh] said to Moses, "I have seen this people, and behold, they are an obstinate people. Now let Me alone, that My anger may burn against them, and that I may destroy them; and I will make of you a great nation."
In His anger and jealousy, [Yahweh] wanted to destroy them because His wife was seeking other masters. If we can learn to think along these lines, then we can begin to understand how [Yahweh] feels about our submission and homage to other gods.
You are familar with the golden calf story. However, there is another perspective of this golden calf I want you to consider. Look at verses 2 through 4a again.
It is easy to visualize a big golden calf. However, do you think that they bowed down to a calf and said this is our god now because it brought us out of Egypt? No, they did not do that. Look at the context from verse 4.....
The calf simply represented the organization that they had formed. They were not worshipping the calf any more than [today's society] worships the donkey or the elephant that represents [its] political parties.
If archaeologists were to dig up that temple or shrine, and they found that exact golden calf, the archaeologists could say that evidence shows that the Israylites built temples and worshipped calves. The archaeologists would assume that this practice was their downfall because it was the Canaanite god.
Let us go forward a thousand years from now, and we see that archaeologists have unearthed some artifacts from this era. They come across a large convention hall in the capitol of our nation, and they determine from carbon dating that they are looking at items from the 20th century. They find a huge idol of an elephant, and they conclude that the reason this civilization was destroyed was because they worshipped the elephants. [This society] does not worship the elephant, or the donkey, they merely represent [the gods of this society].
The day following the celebration for [this society's] newly elected gods, people call up the preachers and ask them to prepare prayer and solemn assembly for Yahweh. Even though [they] pray to the one true [Yahweh], [they] have set up [their] own gods right beside Him. [They] elect rulers who become elohims so that [they] can bow down to them and follow them. [This society] is no different from those Israylites under Moses when they set up their own gods. The golden calf was just a symbol of man's new government that was to run alongside [Yahweh's] government. [Today's society] wants it both ways just as early Israyl wanted it both ways.....
....I am sure you get the idea. In Sinai, following the marriage ceremony, the people held a political convention, they set up their gods, and they decided how they were going to govern themselves. They did not view themselves as Baal worshippers. [Yahweh] had already taught them to govern themselves. He had already taught them that He was their Lawgiver, their Judge, and their King. He repeatedly reminded them that He was their husband, and it would be He who would save them. Even though He had displayed His miraculous might and declared His undying love for them, they did not hesitate to set up that golden calf.
We have no evidence of exactly how they formed this new government. The [Scriptures] omit the details, but maybe they got together under that golden calf and wrote a proclamation similar to this:
We the people of Israyl, in order to form a perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and security, and secure the blessings of liberty, do ordain or erect this sacred calf as a symbol of our new government, etc., etc.
Am I pulling down someone's sacred calf? We have many sacred calves out there because we have been Baal worshippers without recognizing it. At least the Israylites of old had only one political party. Some say that we must unify these political parties, or unify the different denominations and merge with these other religions. There is only one Unifier and that is [Yahshua Messiah], the King of kings, and the [Master of masters]. If you want to join His party and live under His Laws, you must register by being baptized.
However, our United States Constitution does not require that the citizens of this nation believe in [Yahshua Messiah], and it does not prevent you from practicing witchcraft.
Do we have sacred calves? Yes we do, and we must begin tearing them down.
Yes, Steven, we do believe the Scriptural account...and we believe that things haven't changed all that much in true Israyl when we see the "state of the union" today.
Do you believe?

Me: No. They get their day in the sun for a specific purpose until Daniel 11:34 - 12:1 happen.. After the 4th Kingdom is destoyed, then the people will be free. The Bible says it's all part of the plan. No GOVT does anything what-so-ever without YHWH's 'permission'. "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His. . . . He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding (Daniel 2)...Even Jesus told Pilate that he has NO power unless it is given to him by his Father. Nebuchadnezzer had to learn this fact the hard way, "They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses" (Daniel 4).

Thanks for that quote and expounding ... Exodus 32:24 ... "And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf" ...
Did the calf leap out of the fire, a god with power? Or is this an analogy of a mindset that leaped into the people so willing to trust in themselves but not HaShem?
It would seem that if the calf actually leaped out of the fire and later verse 4 ... "(Aaron) fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made (06213 asah = made from existing not 01254 bara = created out of nothing) it a molten calf" ... then something metaphysical is happening which could allow for people trusting it as a god by observation. Something metaphysical that would allow worship of stone, metal and wood as god. Other places in the TaNaK indicate that the metaphysical was/is possible (Exodus 7:11-12) but not from the Source.
A possibility but this could mean that that this "something metaphysical" changed and we no longer experience this by observation, only by mindset. So perhaps this gold (calf) represents the mindset of the people trusting in gold and their collective power as a people to deliver them? Perhaps this passage reflects much the same mindset that exists in trusting in silver and gold or the mindset of trust in the fiat banking system of today for provision instead of Hashem.
This may be a very real experience that changed the mindset of the people to trust and defend their wealth represented in this gold. A very real analogy represented today in the trust of the people in the governments of men and their money system.

I have a friend that says that calling Jahuwah "Hashem" is the same as calling Him "what's his name."
Based upon the above scriptures I was recently given the following revelation:
Jahshuwah made the Father's name known;
We are to follow His example;
Which gives rise to the question, are you a name concealer, or a name revealer? If you are a name concealer, why aren't you following Jahshuwah's example? I am also of the opinion that people that use G-o-d as the Father's name are name concealers.

Do not I hate them, O Yahowah, that hate thee? and am not I grieved [cut off] with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
Steve: This is the same David that joined the Philistines and sought to go against Israel in battle. He was a shifty charecter, yet YHWH still said he was a man after His own heart.
brother Robert: And what was it that Yahowah said about confederacies and following a multitude to do evil?

Steve: When the Joshua and the Israelites all agreed to this in Joshua 24 it did not take them long to breach this same agreement after Joshua died in Judges 2:11. The Israelites were punished in verse 14 but then redeemed in verse 16. They broke the agreement again in verse 17, were punished and redeemed AGAIN in verse 18. In verse 19 they broke the agreement yet again and YHWH punished them again in verse 20, etc, etc, etc, etc. This pattern of the Israelites is why the series of exiles has been put upon them. The last exile, the subjection to the Roman 4th kingdom, is still upon the planet until Daniel 12:1.

So, rather than answer to the statement, we seek instead to discredit the speaker's credibility. Where have we seen this type of subterfuge before? Oh yes, we remember, from the government you apparently defend as being "ordained by Yahowah".
And you are still clinging desperately to the misconception that if an embassador uses foreign currency and pays sales tax while doing his Master's work in a foreign nation that he has committed High Treason against his Master [President or whatever!] and should be executed? The world would soon be out of embassadors!
And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Was Yahowshua a traitor to his King for giving these orders?

Yes, in the history of our Israylite ancestors there have been many cycles when disobedience occurred...then the punishment and consequences enumerated in Deuteronomy 28 would occur....until Israyl cried out to Yahweh....then the salvation of Yahweh would be experienced....grace for obedience would come....and as a result of obedience the blessings of Deuteronomy 28 would occur....when Israyl was fat and blessed they would again become disobedient and the cycle would start over again.
Just because such disobedience has happened and is happening and will happen that certainly does not give you and us a legimate excuse to participate in and to promote the disobedience that brings punishment on Israyl.

Message: quote: The tetra grammaton is four letters. The true pronunciation is unknown.
One thing is known he wants love to prevail!
Will any look before they continue to digress from the Love???
Firstly, we know from Hebrews 13:8, “Jahshuwah the Anointed One the same yesterday, and today, and forever.”
Secondly, we know from Hebrews 2:12 that, “…[He] will declare [the Father’s] name unto [His] brethren…”
Since Jahshuwah is the same yesterday, and today, and forever, that would mean that He is still declaring the Father’s name unto His brethren today. If Jahshuwah is not declaring His Name to you I would have to ask, who are you? Are you one of the brothers? When you say, “The true pronunciation is unknown...” you make it sound like the Set Apart Spirit is not teaching you how to pronounce His Name. You make it sound like you are not hearing from the Father; like you’ve been cut off? Or, is it like you've never been in communication with the Father. Is it your position that the Set Apart Spirit does not know how to pronounce the Father’s Name?
Thirdly, we know about the great commandments to love from Matthew 22; in particular this commandment:
quote: 37And He replied to him, You shall love the Jahuwah your Mighty Creator with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect).
38This is the great (most important, principal) and first commandment.
Fourthly, from 1 John we know the following things about love:
quote: 1 John 2:5 But he who keeps and treasures His Word; who bears in mind His precepts, who observes His message in its entirety, truly in him has the love of and for Jahuwah been perfected; completed, reached maturity. By this we may perceive, know, recognize, and be sure that we are in Him:
quote: 1 John 3:10 By this it is made clear who take their nature from Jahuwah and are His children and who take their nature from the devil and are his children: no one who does not practice righteousness; who does not conform to Jahuwah's will in purpose, thought, and action is of Jahuwah; neither is anyone who does not love his fellow believer in The Anointed One.
So, conforming to Jahuwah’s will in purpose, thought, and action is very important. Part of conforming to His Will is to reveal His name among the brothers and sisters. What is unloving about anything Jahuwah or Jahshuwah ever did?
quote: 1 John 3:23 And this is His order, His command, His injunction: that we should believe in; put our faith and trust in; and adhere to and rely on the name of His Son Jahshuwah the Messiah, and that we should love one another, just as He has commanded us.
So, believing on this name that you say cannot be pronounced is put ahead of, and made more important than, loving one another. Sometimes people tell me that they have a friend, but, they can’t remember that friend’s name. When that happens, I wonder to myself, they must not be much of a friend. How are you going to be the Father’s friend, like Abraham was, if you can’t even pronounce His name?
quote: 1 John 5:2 By this we come to know, recognize, and understand that we love the children of Jahuwah: when we love Jahuwah and obey His commands, orders, charges--when we keep His ordinances and are mindful of His precepts and His teaching.
As I have said already, with citation, is that obeying His command, order and charge is that we follow His example and reveal His Name among the brothers and sisters. We do this when we love Him!
quote: 1 John 5:3 We show that we love Jahuwah when we obey his laws.
Look what Malachi 3:16 has to say in support of this:
quote: 16 Then those who feared Jahuwah talked often one to another; and Jahuwah listened and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who reverenced and worshipfully feared Jahuwah and who thought on His name.
17 And they shall be Mine, says Jahuwah the Mighty Ruler, in that day when I publicly recognize and openly declare them to be My jewels (My special possession, My peculiar treasure). And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.
18Then shall you return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who does not serve Him.
So, if you want to “love” the Father and be one of His, you better start thinking “on His Name” and revealing it among the brothers and sisters.

Questions:
1. In which way will a man or woman be promoting and aiding and abetting an unholy system to a greater degree:
a.)if he or she receives federal reserve notes and exchanges them for groceries.
b.)if he or she receives federal reserve notes, deposits them in a bank that is participating in the federal reserve system so that those funds can promote the usury system in true Israyl and then withdraws some from time to time to exchange for groceries.
2. Is it important to either be totally out of the Babylonian System...or would you say if one is participating in any way he or she would be no worse off if they were participating in and promoting the Babylonian System to a very significant degree?
These are issues we are working through ourselves. We welcome any input and/or guidance that you or others in the Ecclesia can give us in this regard.
If there is any hypocrisy in our walk and in our service for Yahweh's Kingdom purposes it is certainly appropriate for you to point that out to us and expose it to us and perhaps to others.
Thank you for your help in this regard.

Steven,
Do we in fact "join THEM in their SCHEME if we use federal reserve notes"?
What do the following verses mean in that regard? Do they speak to that issue?
quote: Luke 16:8-13.....
From the Book of Yahweh....
Then the ruler commended the dishonest manager for having looked to his own interests. For the children of this world are wiser in dealing with their generation than the children of light.
But I say to you; Remember your brothers willingly through your diligent giving of your tithes and offerings from the riches of this world, so that when the end comes, you will be received into Yahweh Shammah.
He who is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much; and who is unjust in the least, is also unjust in much.
Therefore, if you have not been faithful in unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
And if you have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who will give you that which is your own?
No servant can serve two rulers; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both Yahweh and mammon.
Now the Pharisees, who were also lovers of money, heard all these things; and they sneered at Him.
But [Yahshua] said to [the Pharisees]: You are those who justify yourselves before men but Yahweh knows your heart, for that which is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of Yahweh.
Luke 16:9 in the KJV is rendered:
And I {Yahshua} say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
If this has been adequately discussed elsewhere on the Ecclesia Forum when we were not monitoring it...please direct us to that page so that it will not be necessary to restate statements that have previosly been made concerning this.
We would like to have a better understanding of this so that we can make the appropriate adjustments in our lives if any should be made.

Message: quote: Marty said: Steven,
Do we in fact "join THEM in their SCHEME if we use federal reserve notes"?
Yes we do. Consider these points:
1. We give life to the FICTION when we use them. FRN's are not backed by gold as you already know. Per the FED RES LAWYERS they are backed by contracts (SS#'s, land holdings, etc), promises to pay (credit) and faith in the US SYSTEM. All of this equals spend-a-ability .
2. We pay TAX which gives life to the SYSTEM when we go to the CORPS. Example, check out how much TAX is attached to gas not to mention CORP profit.
3. We choose willfully to use "THEIR" private SCRIP and enjoy the benefit of their buying power. Instead of doing for ourselves, the FRN enables us to buy things like food, clothing, etc from the CONSUMER CORPS. Plus, some CONTRACTS demand we pay in FRN's... like INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER agreements.
4. Every day the FRN is valued and devalued soley on the objective of the US CORP who issues them. A loaf of bread might cost more or less on any given day depending on the FED's regulation. So much for equal weights and measures.
5. By using the same line of thinking to argue that the SS# is the mark of the beast, one can also argue SCRIP also fit’s the description. You can buy and sell easily w/o a SS#, no problem. It’s very hard to buy and sell without SCRIP.
As for your request of my opinion concerning the verses you posted:
"Then the ruler commended the dishonest manager for having looked to his own interests. For the children of this world are wiser in dealing with their generation than the children of light."
From what you have posted it seems to say the ruler respected the manager who cheated him because the ruler also looks out for his own interests first. The second sentence is self explanitory.
But I say to you; Remember your brothers willingly through your diligent giving of your tithes and offerings from the riches of this world, so that when the end comes, you will be received into Yahweh Shammah.
He who is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much; and who is unjust in the least, is also unjust in much.
To my knowledge there was no FICTIONAL fiat money as the main currency back then so when I read riches I am thinking of things with real value.
No servant can serve two rulers; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both Yahweh and mammon.
This could be the kicker to back up my concept. If we know what backs up an FRN and we know the game the US CORP is playing by issuing them and gathering TAX from them, then how can we say that we don't benefit from their scheme? If we don't circulate FRN's but instead make or grow for ourselves the things FRNs buy, then this hurts the SYSTEM in many ways. If we use the FRN and the CORPS who sell the CONSUMER GOODS, then this helps the ECONOMY, helps generate TAX INCOME, helps the CORPS make a profit, etc. Let me always be the first to proclaim my guilt in all of this. The solution would be people forming self-sustaning communities but, from my limited pursuits, conflicting Biblical understandings destroys the seed before it even grows. Splinters within splinters...That and too many chiefs and not enough indians.
Now the Pharisees, who were also lovers of money, heard all these things; and they sneered at Him.
But [Yahshua] said to [the Pharisees]: You are those who justify yourselves before men but Yahweh knows your heart, for that which is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of Yahweh.
This is self-explanatory.
Luke 16:9 in the KJV is rendered:
And I {Yahshua} say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
I read this as, “make friends with those who engage in the mammon of unrighteousness men so they can bail you out when you fail”. Notice it does not tell us to become friends of the mammon of unrighteousness ourselves, only to make friends with those who are. Would the FRN scheme be considered mammon of unrighteousness? Yes and the FRN could also qualify as the sorcery of the merchants.

No, I am not saying one should participate to a greater degree. I am saying if one uses the FRN, then one is using the SYSTEM, it’s arbitrary ECONOMY and it’s CORP’s which helps strengthen the same. The idea is in the same line of thinking as, “if you break the least, you break them all”. I personally look at the bottom line of the matter. Do I feed, cloth and shelter my family by having to work for FRN's? Yes.

I’d say C. Both actions help the SYSTEM’s ECONOMY by generating profit for the CORPS and TAX INCOME by making the FRN their #1 tool for getting even the most basic needs. Food, power, gas, etc.
quote: 2. Is it important to either be totally out of the Babylonian System...or would you say if one is participating in any way he or she would be no worse off if they were participating in and promoting the Babylonian System to a very significant degree?
I think the real goal is not having a need at all for the SYSTEM. The one who is worse off is the one who is eating CORP produced food by ENTITIES who, for the sake of low production cost, use ingredients which are harmful to us (not to mention Biblically unclean). The one worse off is the one who pays into the POWER RACKET because technology is suppressed. The only way to beat this would be to have kind of a regathring of the tribes who agreed to only trade with each other. The Bible says the Israelites will be regathered back to the promised land after the destruction of the 4th Kingdom so maybe this type of thing will happen then.
quote: These are issues we are working through ourselves. We welcome any input and/or guidance that you or others in the Ecclesia can give us in this regard.
I have been racking my mind and even spirit over this problem for quite a while. Wouldn’t it be ironic if the curse of Adam, to till the ground with the sweat of his brow, is the very thing that could save us in this day and age? A curse that turned into a blessing. I think of the current 4th Kingdom as such also. It’s a curse but, somehow, there will be a blessing from all of THEIR doings. Even the story of the patriarchs holds this same pattern. Especially Judah.
quote: If there is any hypocrisy in our walk and in our service for Yahweh's Kingdom purposes it is certainly appropriate for you to point that out to us and expose it to us and perhaps to others
You have made no claims about your walk so I’ll pass on assuming to know your rendering of each point of Law and theology, etc.. I am only sharing some of my POV at this moment concerning the FRN and my studies regarding it. I am not even asking you to agree with me. Not required.

We can buy and sell just fine without an SS#. It is very difficult to 'buy and sell' with out FICTIONAL SCRIP. p.s. - as you know bartering is not buying and selling. This is why I keep bringing up the FRN.

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together . and the sucking child shall play on the hole of the cobra . (Isaiah 11:6-8)
. . for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of YHWH, as the waters cover the sea. (Isaiah 11:9)
No longer shall one teach his neighbor or shall one teach his brother, saying, “Know YHWH,” for they shall all know Me, from their smallest to their greatest,” says YHWH . . . . (Jeremiah 31:33)

......... b.) to withdraw from the kingdom of the beast and promote the Kingdom of Yahweh?
Steven replied: You and I will not agree on what it means to withdraw from the kingdom of the beast. If you are going to say the SS# is the MARK, I will show you by the same standards that the FRN qualifies even more. This is why I feel dismayed over the whole situation. It is very difficult to live with out the FRN. I would take nothing short of a regathering to overcome the FRN, which is what the scriptures seem to say will happen... in the promised land sworn to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. If you look at the dimensions given in both Torah and Ezekiel, it is easy to see that America is not what is being described.
Peace,
Steve

Message: Marty, Of course I would promote that my children live in the kind of world defined by the Messianic prophecies. Who would not want to live in a world where the weapons are turned to plowshares, etc (minus the Torah statutes which allow for the selling of my daughters for a set amount of sheckles). However, I 'speculate' you are asking the question based on your understanding of the Kingdom and I have a feeling we might not agree since I don't find Christ, as he is painted in the NT, to be the Moshiach ben David defined in the Tanakh. I hope that answers the question to your satisfaction.
David, Thanks for the links! I will check them out.
Peace to all, Steve

Message: I sent this to Jim Searcy. Jim has a Yahoo Group I subscribed to for awhile. He is the only one that can post to his list and he always uses the pagan names to describe the Father and Son. Please remember, I use “J” when I write the Father and Son’s Name because it looks more like a Yod (finger pointing) than a “Y” and that I use it to reach the Yah sound as in hallelujah; not the hard “J” sound:
Jim: I noticed that you always get your name right, but, you never get the heavenly Father’s correct. You keep calling Him the name of a Babylonian deity; G-o-d. Aren’t you trying to come out of Babylon?
I’ve also noticed that you have started calling Jahuwah’s Son Yeshua. Jim, I shouldn’t have to be telling you that is the Hebrew word for salvation. The Son’s name is not merely “Salvation,” it is “Jah is salvation” or, “Jah is my salvation,” or, “Jah is our salvation;” a complete sentence derived from the meaning of each of the Hebrew letters comprising His Name. [Now, I have some additional thoughts on this. The word salvation by itself is a common noun; or, in some usages, I believe it could even be an adverb. Why would the Father name His Son a common noun or adverb and then say that it is the Name above every name;? I think the answer is that He wouldn’t and He didn’t. I did some internet research on this and most of the writers I look at agreed that Yeshua was a contracted version of Yehoshuah; Moses’ successor Joshua’s Hebrew name. I checked dictionary.com for the definition of contracted; it meant, “To reduce in size by drawing together; shrink. To pull together; wrinkle.” In light of the fact that we’re not supposed to neither add to nor take away from Jah’s Word, under severe penalty, why would anyone want to “shrink” or “wrinkle” the Son’s Name?! Anyway, continuing what I wrote Jim]:
There is a group the Father Jahuwah and I would like you to join. This group is described in Malachi 3:16:quote: 16Then those who feared Jahuwah talked often one to another; and Jahuwah listened and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who reverenced and worshipfully feared Jahuwah and who thought on His name.
As you can see, the only way into the group is by thinking upon His name. I can tell by the fact that you are still calling the Father by a pagan name that you have not been “thinking upon His name.” As one who has been doing this, I can tell you there is a lot to think about when it comes to the Father’s Name.
Here is a revelation I was given yesterday. Listen to what the man born blind heard Jahshuwah say while He was standing in his immediate proximity in John 9:quote: 2 His disciples asked Him, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?
3 Jahshuwah answered, It was not that this man or his parents sinned, but he was born blind in order that the workings of Jahuwah should be manifested (displayed and illustrated) in him.
4 We must work the works of Him Who sent Me and be busy with His business while it is daylight; night is coming on, when no man can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the world's Light.
TThen, as you recall: quote: 6 When He had said this, He spat on the ground and made clay (mud) with His saliva, and He spread it [as ointment] on the man's eyes.
7 And He said to him, Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam--which means Sent. So he went and washed, and came back seeing.
Here is the man’s explanation as to how he received his sight:quote: 11 He replied, The Man called Jahshuwah made mud and smeared it on my eyes and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and I obtained my sight!
Review verses 2-5 above again. Notice that there is no reference to Jahshuwah’s Name there. How did the blind man know Jahshuwah’s Name? The fact that he called Him by His Name in his explanation as to how he received his sight, was saying a mouthful. He was saying, Jah, the Heavenly Father, is my salvation, and He told me what to do and I did it; look at the result. The fact that he went, found the pool and washed while he had mud in his eyes and was blind to boot, to me means that doing what Jahshuwah told him to do was very important to and meaningful to him that it was worth whatever effort it took this blind man to accomplish what Jahshuwah told him.
Now, watch how much he believes that Jah is his salvation:quote: 13 Then they conducted to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind.
15 So now again the Pharisees asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He smeared mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I see.
16 Then some of the Pharisees said, This Man is not from God {pagan name left in because the Pharisees weren’t using the Father’s Name; they were concealing it}, because He does not observe the Sabbath. But others said, How can a man who is a sinner (a bad man) do such signs and miracles? So there was a difference of opinion among them.
17 Accordingly they said to the blind man again, What do you say about Him, seeing that He opened your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet!
After this blind man, a Hebrew, with enough of a Hebrew background that his parents did not want to be expelled from the synagogue (see v. 22), who, by Jahshuwah’s own explanation, is not blind because of his or his parents sin and meaning that he is a keeper of the Torah, has heard Jahshuwah’s Words; Words that he believed enough to act on and see the results to; and, he has heard Jahshuwah himself say that He must do “the workings of Jahuwah” and that He was “the world's Light;” must have said more than that He is “a” prophet, but instead, in all likelihood said, that He was “the” prophet prophesied about by Moses in Deuteronomy 18: 15: quote: 15 Jahuwah your Mighty Creator will raise up for you a prophet from the midst of your brethren like me; to him you shall listen.
In fact, in the new book I just received entitled The Hebrew Yeshua vs. The Greek Jesus authored by Nehemia Gordon; a Jew who is skilled in ancient Hebrew, modern Hebrew and Greek; who worked on the Dead Sea Scrolls project; that is not born again; talks about issues in the Hebrew like this phrase “a prophet.” On page 39 of his book he makes reference to Hebrew word puns. He defines these word puns as, “…a play on words that builds on similar sounding Hebrew roots used multiple times with different meanings.” He says, on that same page, “They are a common feature of the Tanach and form an integral part of Hebrew story-telling.” On page 40 of his book he says, “Word puns such as these are extremely common and can be found on nearly every page of the Hebrew Scriptures.” He points out that some times these word puns consist of the exact same Hebrew word having a different meaning each time the word is used. What I learned about these word puns causes me to believe that the former blind man was “punning” the Pharisees when he called Jahshuwah “a prophet.” He was making reference to Deuteronomy 18:15 and these Pharisees all knew it!
After all, he did listen to Him and did what Jahshuwah said to do.quote: 18 However, the Jews did not believe that he had [really] been blind and that he had received his sight until they called (summoned) the parents of the man.
A tactic used to keep from believing, even today.quote: 19 They asked them, Is this your son, whom you reported as having been born blind? How then does he see now?
20 His parents answered, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind.
21 But as to how he can now see, we do not know; or who has opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age. Ask him; let him speak for himself and give his own account of it.
22 His parents said this because they feared [the leaders of] the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should acknowledge Jahshuwah to be The Anointed One, he should be expelled and excluded from the synagogue.
23 On that account his parents said, He is of age; ask him.
24 So the second time they summoned the man who had been born blind, and said to him, Now give God {pagan name left in because the Pharisees were name concealers} the glory (praise). This [a]Fellow we know is only a sinner (a wicked person).
25 Then he answered, I do not know whether He is a sinner and wicked or not. But one thing I do know, that whereas I was blind before, now I see.
26 So they said to him, What did He [actually] do to you? How did He open your eyes?
27 He answered, I already told you and you would not listen.
Listen to him! Doesn’t he sound just like the Master in John 8?quote: 43 Why do you misunderstand what I say? It is because you are unable to hear what I am saying.
John 9:27b:quote: Why do you want to hear it again? Can it be that you wish to become His disciples also?
This former blind man already counts himself among Jahshuwah’s disciples!quote: 28 And they stormed at him [they jeered, they sneered, they reviled him] and retorted, You are His disciple yourself, but we are the disciples of Moses.
29 We know for certain that God {pagan name left in because the Pharisees were name concealers} spoke with Moses, but as for this Fellow, we know nothing about where He hails from.
These dingbat Pharisees needed to ask themselves, how did they know that Jahuwah spoke with Moses? The answer to the question is, by the signs and wonders he was intimately involved in and foretold. They should have also been asking themselves, do we know where Moses came from?quote: 30 The man replied, Well, this is astonishing! Here a Man has opened my eyes, and yet you do not know where He comes from. [That is amazing!)
It gives me a warm feeling to see this Torah observant, former blind man is willing to get in their face and mock them in a loving sort of way. It’s easy to see that he sees the idiocy of their whole approach and is not concerned about what they can do to his body because after that there remains nothing more they can do. He is more concerned about truth than what being kicked out of their club will mean to his reputation.quote: 31 We know that Jahuwah does not listen to sinners; but if anyone is Jah-fearing and a worshiper of Him and does His will, He listens to him.
32 Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind.
33 If this Man were not from Jahuwah, He would not be able to do anything like this.
My sentiments exactly! Why would these Pharisees refuse to apply the same standard to Jahshuwah that they applied to Moses? That being, since he does signs and wonders, he must be working with Jahuwah. To me what is said above is proof that the blind man paid attention to and believed what Jahshuwah said when he said that He must do “the workings of Jahuwah.” What’s up with these Pharisees? What is incorrect about this blind man’s teaching?quote: 34 They retorted, You were wholly born in sin [from head to foot]; and do you [presume to] teach us? So they cast him out [threw him clear outside the synagogue].
Wow, two completely different and diametrically opposed assessments regarding this former blind man’s sin; the Pharisees assessment that he was born in sin from head to foot versus Jahshuwah’s assessment that he was not blind because of his own sin or his parents sin. Judges today sit on the bench and act this exact same way. A pro se/pro per can be exactly and completely right and the judge will say either overtly or covertly, who is this whippersnapper that has never been to law school, that should try and teach me anything? Neither one of them care about the truth.quote: 35 Jahshuwah heard that they had put him out, and meeting him He said, Do you believe in and adhere to the Son of Man or the Son of Jahuwah?
36 He answered, Who is He, Sir? Tell me, that I may believe in and adhere to Him.
Keep in mind, the former blind man has never actually “seen” Jahshuwah. The last time he was in His presence he was blind and had mud smeared in his eyes. He had only “heard” him and felt him.quote: 37 Jahshuwah said to him, You have seen Him; [in fact] He is talking to you right now.
“Seen” here is Strong’s #3708 meaning “of mental perception,” “of taking heed,” “to look away from one thing so as to see another,” and “used of one witnessing as a spectator.” This same word is used in John 14:9, “Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father.” There were many people that “saw” Jahshuwah with their eyes, but, they didn’t really understand what it was that they were “seeing.” Like Jahshuwah said in Matthew 13:15:quote: For this nation's heart has grown gross (fat and dull), and their ears heavy and difficult of hearing, and their eyes they have tightly closed, lest they see and perceive with their eyes, and hear and comprehend the sense with their ears, and grasp and understand with their heart, and turn and I should heal them.
What Jahshuwah is telling the former blind man in v. 37 is, you have witnessed Me as a spectator and you grasped and understood in your heart the meaning of what you saw and you were healed as a result.quote: 38 He called out, Lord, I believe! [I rely on, I trust, I cleave to You!] And he worshiped Him.
This “Lord” is Stong’s #2962 meaning the possessor, owner or master over property; master of something and having absolute authority over it; the honorary title of address to a superior. This former blind man now belonged to Jahshuwah. See John 8:47, “Whoever is of Jahuwah listens to Jahuwah. [Those who belong to Jahuwah hear the words of Jahuwah.] This is the reason that you do not listen [to those words, to Me]: because you do not belong to Jahuwah and are not of Jahuwah or in harmony with Him.” If you use pagan name to describe the Father or the Son it is questionable whether you belong to Him; it is also an indication that you are out of harmony with Him.quote: 39 Then Jahshuwah said, I came into this world for judgment [as a Separator, in order that there may be separation between those who believe on Me and those who reject Me], to make the sightless see and to make those who see become blind.
In Matthew 14 I show you a similar example:quote: 25 And in the fourth watch [between 3:00--6:00 a.m.] of the night, Jahshuwah came to them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, It is a ghost! And they screamed out with fright.
27 But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage! I AM! Stop being afraid!
28 And Peter answered Him, Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.
29 He said, Come! So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and he came toward Jahshuwah.
Peter had enough of his wits about him to at least ask, “…if it is You…” Well duh, who else would come walking on water? What if it wasn’t Him, and he still commanded you to come; what then? I guess you’d find out it wasn’t Him, as you were stepping off the boat and sinking.
I said all of what is above to give you my revelation from yesterday; it is this:quote: If you believe who Jahshuwah is, you’ll do what He says!
Now, 2 Peter 3:2 says that we, "...should recall the predictions of the consecrated and dedicated prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior [given] through [His] apostles." For the purposes of this revelation, what this transfers and translates to is, if we believe who Jahshuwah is, we will do what His messengers say. Isn’t that what basically what Jahshuwah was saying in John 14:24 when he said, “…the teaching which you hear and heed is not Mine, but [comes] from the Father Who sent Me.” Malachi 3:16 says that there is a record made of those who think upon His Name. Then, if we believe who He is, we will think upon His Name. In John 17:6 Jahshuwah says, “I have manifested Your Name…” and in John 17:26 Jahshuwah says, “I have made Your Name known to them…” In John 12:26 Jahshuwah commands, “If anyone serves Me, he must continue to follow Me and to cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying and wherever I am, there will My servant be also. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.” Part of the example Jahshuwah gave us to follow is to reveal the Father’s Name. If you believe who Jahshuwah is, you will follow his example, and reveal the Father’s Name as well.
Now, the inverse is also true. If we find someone who is not following Jahshuwah’s example and revealing the Father’s Name, they must not really believe who Jahshuwah is.
This brings us to the question; do you really believe who Jahshuwah is?

I am sure that these are just a few that I will eventually end up reading. Perhaps we will continue this intercourse again. My head is reeling, and quite frankly I am at a loss for further words at this time.
May our Father and His Glorious Son be with you at all times.
Hello DanielJacob, Just wanted to thank you for listing one of the articles on our site.! I hope your studies are going well, however, I need to mention that the link above is incorrect. For you and any others who may have tried to read the article, you need to add an 'l' to the end of the file name.

Message: Greetings Exile: Peace be unto the house.
quote: From Seven Times eNewsletter: “The word Elohim, being plural, conveys the thought of "plurality of majesty" and "the sum of the Divine powers."
We perceive that this is correct and that the definition of ‘Elohiym is found in the Scripture at Yasha’yahu [Isaiah] 33:22 Yahuwah is our Judge, Yahuwah is our Lawgiver, Yahuwah is our King, He is our Saviour.
quote: Thankful, Abraham "planted a grove [of trees, not an "asherah"] in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD [Jehovah], the everlasting GOD [The Divine definition of Jehovah; Hebrew: Olam, for duration, secret and hidden from man]." [Emphasis mine]
We beg to differ!! GOD is not "The Divine definition of Jehovah"; it is the word 'Elohiym, which is the "Title" of Yahuwah [Jehovah], the number one meaning of which, from Brown-Driver-Briggs', is "rulers"!! And, we cannot find in any source, where the Hebrew word olam was ever defined “secret and hidden from man”; and to further expose this deception, neither was it apparently ever translated in any such vein in the entire Book of Scripture. Here for the edification of the body politic (body of anointed) is Brown-Driver-Briggs’ Hebrew Lexicon’s definitions of olam: 1) long duration, antiquity, futurity, for ever, ever, everlasting, evermore, perpetual, old, ancient, world; 1a) ancient time, long time (of past); 1b) (of future); 1b1) for ever, always; 1b2) continuous existence, perpetual; 1b3) everlasting, indefinite or unending future, eternity and here is the list, from Strong’s concordance, of the ways it was translated: always (-s), ancient (time), any more, continuance, eternal, (for, [n-]) ever (-lasting, -more, of old), lasting, long (time), (of) old (time), perpetual, at any time, (beginning of the) world (+ without end). Anytime one uses sophistry (reasoning sound in appearance only) to substantiate their doctrine we become very distrustful of that person.
quote: "And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: And he was the priest of the MOST HIGH GOD [Hebrew: El Elyon]. "And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the MOST HIGH GOD, possessor of heaven and earth: "And blessed be the MOST HIGH GOD, which hath delivered thine enemies into thine hand. And he gave him tithes of all. "And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. "And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the Lord, the MOST HIGH GOD, the possessor of heaven and earth..."
Actually, it is ’elyon ‘el, and not ‘el ‘eloyon; and in the last verse you quote “the Lord” when “the LORD” would have been a more honest portrayal since that all capital LORD shows that when Abram made his vow he “lifted up his hand to Yahuwah [JEHOVAH], the eloyon ‘el (most high ‘el [chief]), creator/owner of heaven and earth…” As an example we must understand that Franklin Delano: ROOSEVELT had several titles, president (high priest), commander-in-chief (lord of hosts) and supreme magistrate (most high god/'elyon 'el); and if one of his own called him “MR. PRESIDENT”, he might indeed answer (but so might every other PRESIDENT within earshot, since it is a common name); however had he signed any documents with nothing but one of these titles, they would have been invalid; a proper, or peculiar, name was necessary to make this lawful. A Lawful seal contains three ingredients, (1) proper name, (2) title (common name) and (3) territory; this is found intact at Exodus 20, verses 10 and 11, (1) Yahuwah (proper name), (2) thy ‘Elohiym [God] (title: Ruler) and (3) heaven, the earth and the sea (territory).
quote: A name merely means, "A word or a phrase that constitutes the distinctive designation of a person or a thing," or, a word that conveys meaning, designation, character, nature, identity, and understanding about that person or thing.[Emphasis mine]
Again, the word "merely" is extemely deceptive!! NAME, n. 1. That by which a thing is called; the sound or combination of sounds used to express an idea, or any material substance, quality or act; an appellation attached to a thing by customary use, by which it may be vocally distinguished from other things. A name may be attached to an individual only, and is then proper or appropriate, as John, Thomas, London, Paris; or it may be attached to a species, genus, or class of things, as sheep, goat, horse, tree, animal, which are called common names, specific or generic. 2. The letters or characters written or engraved, expressing the sounds by which a person or thing is known and distinguished. 3. A person. 4. Reputation; character; that which is commonly said of a person; as a good name; a bad name. 5. Renown; fame; honor; celebrity; eminence; praise; distinction. 6. Remembrance; memory. The Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven. Deu 29. Is this what someone has tried, and perhaps is trying, to do to the name above all names? The maxim of law is: Nomina si nescis perit cognitio rerum. If you know not the names of things, the knowledge of things themselves perishes . Co. Litt. 86. Is this what Yahuwah alluded to in these verses of His inspired Scripture: How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. (Baal = “lord” – BDB) How can one continue to defend calling Yahuwah, “the LORD” after that expose'? but let us now continue with the definitions of "name". 7. Appearance only; sound only; not reality; as a friend in name. Rev 3. 8. Authority; behalf; part; as in the name of the people. When a man speaks or acts in the name of another, he does it by their authority or in their behalf, as their representative. 9. Assumed character of another. Had forged a treason in my patrons name. 10. In Scripture, the name of God signifies his titles, his attributes, his will or purpose,, his honor and glory, his word, his grace, his wisdom, power and goodness, his worship or service, or God himself. 11. Issue; posterity that preserves the name. Deu 25. 12. In grammar, a noun. To call names, to apply opprobrious names; to call by reproachful appellations. To take the name of God in vain, to swear falsely or profanely,, or to use the name of God with levity or contempt. Exo 20. To know by name, to honor by a particular friendship or familiarity. Exo 33. Christian name, the name a person receives by baptism, as distinguished from surname. Let us now combine definition #8 and an example in #12; when one comes in the name of Yahuwah, one comes in His authority, i.e. he is an Embassador (Angel/Messenger), and if he doesn't come saying the Words his Master gave him to say, what the Embassador says will not come to pass, and he is at that point taking his Master's name in vain, and will not be held guiltless (3rd Commandment). This is but the tip of the iceberg but perhaps we can see that it is through the use of feigned words and deceptive names that kosmokrator has deceived the whole world. Again, it never ceases to amaze us, just how inflated out egos truly are, we start many topics and write countless pages explaining how important our own "proper name" is, but when it comes to the Creator and His Principal Officer, some of these very same people will exclaim, "Oh, it don't matter what we call him"; how typical, and how truly sad it is.

Message: Shalom and peace be unto you from YAUHU YAUHU means HE is YAH Prounounced YOW first syllable as in ouch I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to say or how i was going to say it. First of all I would like to start out by saying that the things of the father are not understood by fleshly beings Secondly I would like to state that the tetregramatron is revealed in the saviors name Thirdly I would like to say it is very important to realize that when Messiah came as KING of his poeple there were a group of followers during that time that are recorded in scrolls ommitted by the catholic church later called the Essenes. Fourthly you would think since they didn't like most people (this forum is a great example) make something so complicated that is so simple undecernable Jerimiah 8:8 Jer 8:8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain. This clearly tells me we have no Scholars and until we stop thinking like omnicient beings we will never be revealed the true meanings and blessings of the father Mainly your problem was my problem till I really read this verse Messiah warned us of this Mt 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
In other words what happened in Jerimiah had happened way before his arrival thankfully poeple like the Essenes (a type Hebrew monks) were around to show us how to decipher that which we MUST know. Fifthly and most importantly the fathers name is YAH it has been since the dawn of man this will not change people that knew him called him this people like David Ps 68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. and the Hebrews after diliverance the reason that this is not so easily found is because the english tounge is one of confusion they use the word JAH to tranliterate which properly done there would be no J it would be an I as we have in the king james 1611 edition People that serve the father as a servant as was told by Messiah can also refer to him as Abba English or Abu in Hebrew and still be accepted as long as they know the name that matters most to us in heaven and in earth. Knowing this is not too hard if one deciphers the way the old teachers did awaiting the glorious day when the father would send to us a deliverer that would set everything straight and begin to establish a holy kingdom (right here before your very eyes that we have to day) IT is truely finished and for thatt we must thank our father for his wonderful gift his son to mediate on our behalf that being said i would like to ask holy spirit to guide us in this revelation. We have languages like many other things that can be perverted by us(man) One thing languages are notorius for is poluting the authenticity of its credibility A very good example of this is SLANG we use JARGON for things such as diciphering the holy scriptures which most people would think improperly called. Jargon in fact is Technical terminology is the specialised vocabulary of a profession or of some other activity to which a group of people dedicate significant parts of their lives (for instance, hobbies). Sometimes technical terminology is termed jargon Our Jargon has mixed with slang over a long period of peoples hands in the holy scriptures a very good example that you can find is the Hebrews in the english bibles say that some place is Baal ect... there is no way a hebrew would call the father BAAL man might have called a place that after religions meshed but i doubt someone like Noah Abraham the "Righteous" Isaac Isreal "the blessed" Moses ect... you get the idea. Not only has it allowed things that are not holy in them it has allowed sacred names to be hidden
A very good example of this is you will see the term LORD where the HOLY tetragrammatron YHWY should be We may not know how to pronounce the proper way to say it but we do know the name Yahushua is the name Yauhu is the title given to many it means "He is YAH" Ya Hu shu(W) Ha Yod He Waw He pronounced Ya as in ah Hu shoe (W sound) Ha look very carefully please at what i just wrote THERE is NO possible way this name can be corrupted why because the sounds are here all of them every one it is very clear that in revelation the name written upon us will be this one it is also very clear that the tetragrammatron is revealed This name is revealed in recent times only by that of the holy spirit One thing that the Essenes practiced was keeping the Tanak in archaic hebrew format Once the Messiah was here most poeple still SPOKE archaic hebrew so Messiah taught us likewise this way If you ever wonder were all those people came from that followed Messiah just look at some of the books omitted and you will find the Essenes faithfully waiting for someone to put an end to the abomination Judaism (the biggest cult in the world) which is improperly translated as well. to be a HEBREW was the most significant thing it was HEBREWS that were delivered from egypt not JUDAH"S tribe only It was HEBREWS that recieved the full blessings that came to them through obeidience not JUDAH'S tribe only The Essenes observed every letter of the law they just did not pervert it there is a passage in the holy scriptures that says i will give my people a pure tounge Zephiniah 3:9For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the YHVH, to serve him with one consent. This pure language spoken here started with the holy name movement that Messiah talked about when he arrived and the one we as a "body" thanks be to him and that father have recently uncovered more truths and "knowledge did truely abound" now its been revealed through careful study to be that of none other then the original tongue given to the Hebrew people Paleo not the picture type archaic hebrew: Takes the vowels back out takes all the misunderstandings back out takes you back to your roots (makes you think like a nomad who knew the name of the father and gave this language to them) where the holy spirit can really start to show you understandings of only things you dreamed of. The reason we dont refer to pictures in hebrew scrolls is we are commanded not to worship any beast or thing ever. Paleo picture hebrew are symbols most likely the result of Hebrew and Phonecian decent meshing religions therefore not staying PURE (most poeple forget HEBREW was a spoken language not always a written one (the righteous walk by faith not by sight) it was customary to pass the ways of the father by word of mouth things didnt get actually written down by the letter till Mehushuah's day aka mose's. It is great that we have the text don't get me wrong but back then with the way the Hebrews went to Caanan to get brides they had thier own theology (Akkadian) therefore causing devision in houses. We all know that a house devided can't stand. If one is not careful the Akkadian religion looks Like the modern Hebrew faith known as christianity they used the same names for "god" aka Gad prounounced gimmel aleph dalet aleph is pronounced ahhh Baal Bel Lord Master Owner El was the "Most High" in the akadian religion another name we commonly refer to as the father and we get the word Elohim (which if you look very carefully the Hebrew considered a pagan word) Many of the patriarch's wifes had idols for some unknown reason most likely because of the Caananite's beliefs system again as kids grew up patrairchs died ( It's speculation but not far from the truth if anything that children grew up as scribes continued in these thinking they recieved some revelation from thier "gods" which would make sense since they started referring to the father as such and I'm sure those spirits began to answer whole heartedly) De 4:25 When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:
This is seen very easily by how they raised a golden Calf to worship after being delivered out of Egypt. Also if you look very carefully the pictorgraph hebrew the word Ul or El is that of a oxen and shepard staff Aleph Lamed OX hmmm calf? IDOL worship was in thier heritage they kept trying to make idols because they always worshiped them the father said he didnt want a graven image made of him EVER De 5:8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: Moses knew thier intentions too probably revealed by the father which is why he is telling them exactly what they were going to do and according to the history of the bible DID do The early hebrews didn't listen too well because they wanted an image to worship and give thanks for thier many blessings ( you can see this by the above post De 4:25 the father knew what they were going to do and what was in thier hearts because unlike us he is omiscient) So again we have to go to the pureness of things we have to look at the ROOTS to keep PURE Archaic Hebrew isnt as hard to learn as most other languages names will change here and there some of the modern Hebrew meanings mostly because the modern hebrew meanings have evolved like every other language man has tried to introduce as a way of communication The father is not the author of confusion Something that may really astound you in great lengths is this He did allow confusion and installed it in our language system Genesis11: 9Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the YHWH did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the YHWH scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. the word we really need to look at here is CONFOUND 1101 balal { baw-lal’} 1) to mix, mingle, confuse, confound 1a) (Qal) 1a1) to mingle, confuse 1a2) to mix 1a3) to give provender, feed (animals) 1b) (Hithpoel) to mix oneself (among others) 1c) (Hiphil) to fade away
NOTICE: it does not say he changed them but confused them i dont know why they used CONFOUND when they should have just said confused this is a teaching that many dont understand today WE ALL STILL SPEAK A COMMON LANGUAGE WE ARE JUST CONFUSED AS TO WHAT WE SAY ANYMORE its a matter of sound sharing that gives it away we all share the same sounds in our languages thats why we can't truely transliterate from language to language (any linguistic will tell you its simply an educated guess and requires the "translaters" interpretation of context) This was something that was done by Yauhu our Ul (supreme being / creator) so it cannot be undone by man Only through the Holy spirit can you understand something that your not suppose to As for not suppose to being able to figure it out Messiah said that which is hidden SHALL be revealed UNTO YOU. He also said ask and you shall recieve Moses also said this. De 4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. therefore many scriptures establish we all CAN know if we truely wish to by asking. Another way to look up this fact is look how many times you see tongue in a bible or language or speach you will see its more commonly a warning how wicked and decietful it is. You can critique this all you like I'm firm in my faith we use the same language we always have (It's my opinion that it was archaic hebrew It could have been a different language just so we are clear) we just dont have a universal understanding I believe that language was paleo archaic hebrew its purest form and I believe that it was the language we will find all our answers when studying the holy scriptures and since it will put us in the best mind frame of all the men the father had direct dealings with. The thing to keep in mind is that even when studying this language we may never know the correct pronounciation or spelling that doesn't mean its not authentic or that our efforts are in vain. The father knows our hearts and he also knows what he's done so holding us responsible for technicalities we may never be able to iron out in our lifetime (unless it's truely his will) doesn't mean we are damned. We are not changing his name if we use one he has revealed to us as original. For those of you out there that say we have to be emersed in "The Name" there is a such thing called a covering which Messiah does do for us even this day we are COVERED in his name upon faith baptism I know what your going to say king james said this kjv said that well get a clue when saying this KING JAMES was an avid non repentant sinner having affiars with his neighbors wife and some speculate homosexual sinner he just wanted the book translated because it was causing trouble in "his" kingdom. Another thing to keep in mind is this James is a title of a Hebrew in the bible which cannot be James means James its an English name its not transliterated like most claim from Hebrew his name was Yachohov or Jacob so tell me why this is if your so worried about straining at a gnat and swollowing a camel. I have been soul searching my whole life to find this name and I will either discover it or die trying (upon dying i am in full faith that the son will claim me before the father therefore redeeming me on the day of judgement) right now i stand by what Messiah said about knowldege Mt 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again
in fact we won't know his new name until its written for us by him in "The revelation 2 verse 17" 17He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. What name is this you say? Why the tetragrammatron being revealed to us in its purest tounge of archaic hebrew by one who owns it most likely spelled out for us folk with correct pronounciation. When you say? Again most likely when you meet the requirements to recieve it in this verse which according to my studies say this happened to people that were still alive not After the second coming. This is the first post I ever made on this board I have been waiting two days to post it I hope this sheds light and puts your fears to rest. Remember when preaching hell and damnation that only Yahushua has been given the authority to judge man this is none other then man teaching man. The father never sent Messiah to teach us about hell but rather to teach us about salvation. Want proof look in the gospels and show me at the end where he says go and condemn them to hell less they repent no he said go and teach them of the gospels. the holy scriptures say "Mt 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him two fold more the child of hell than yourselves." Basically hes not just talking to jews here he saying teachers "Why do this at all?" Teach love and how to love the father and your neighbor especially your enemies. After all its love that will keep us from confusion. 2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
"If you love me keep my commandments" ONLY those that love the father keep his commandments and ONLY those keeping his commandments will he show mercy De 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
I sincerly appoligize about the seriously long post My goal was to show you the father has ways of doing things and if we dont follow his ways the MEAT is never fed to us instead we will only suckle milk. I also would like to say that I tried very hard to work on puncuation However, I don't have a spell check utility so I assure you there may be mistakes (I'm only human for now that is) May the father bless you in all your knowledgable quests to seek him and find him to suit your needs to establish more firm foundations in your faith and doctrines may he be with you always and show you his mysteries that man rejected I assure you this name is not one of them. We all know the father in some form or another there is power in this name Great saving healing prophesying power in his name His true name YAHUSHUA

Message: Hi, I have a question about The Name I see in a lot of places YWWH or which ever way you spell it is usually preceeded by the now when I refer to another I dont say my friend the Johm or my friend the Jane, I say my friend John or my friend Jane so now the Yahuwah means different than Yahuwah. like the Yahuwah almost sounds more plural , like a tribe But Yahuwah is one. So what was the question? Is the Yahuwah God? or a Tribe and if so is God Tahuwah and is his tribe the Yahuwah? kevin

Message: Greetings and salutations, brother Kevin:
Peace be unto the house.
Good question, brother!
If you go to the section of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible called APPENDIX, GIVING THE OCCURRENCES OF THE FORTY-SEVEN WORDS CITED BY REFERRENCE ONLY.
Please note that some words have two numbers by them, and some do not. When they have two, the first number, which is not italicized is for the Ibriy [Hebrew] and the second number, which is italicized, is for the Greek.
Now, when you go to the article "the" you will find only an italicized number. This tells us that there was a Greek word for "the" but that there was no Ibriy word for "the" in the oldest existing texts of the Scripture. This in turn lets us know that the word "the" was added, sometimes correctly, other times incorrectly, to the Scripture.
Now, when "they" went to supplanting, what we perceive to be, the Proper Name of the Creator with LORD (or LORD) it became necessary to add the word "the" because it was no longer a proper name but rather an applellative, i.e. a common name (or title). This is why Paul was correct in saying "there be gods many, and lords many", because those two words are merely the common names or titles of rulers and/or judges.
GOD n. 3. A prince; a ruler; a magistrate or judge; an angel. 4. Any person or thing exalted too much in estimation, or deified and honored as the chief good. [Emphasis added]
Psalm 82:6 (KJV) I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
Yahu'hanan [John] 10:34 Yahushua answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
LORD, n. 1. A master; a person possessing supreme power and authority; a ruler; a governor. [Emphasis added]
YHWH are the first letters of each of the names of the letters spelling that word, i.e. Yad, Hey, Waw, Hey. It may mean, in its fullest context, something like, "worship [yad] the one who breathes [hey], cleave [waw] to the one who breathes [hey]", but we are not certain of this.
We hope this has been helpful in answering your questions.

“For no one can utter the name of the ineffable deity; and if any one dares to say that there is a name, he raves with a hopeless madness” – Catholic Bishop Jerome, I Apol., 61. (Jerome, or Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus, is recognized (posthumously) by the Vatican as a “Doctor of the Church”.)

Message: Thought we'd post this witness from Wikipedia.
Breaking the name down, we see that there are two parts: [yad hey waw] Yeho, a theophoric reference to YHWH, the distinctive personal name of the God of Israel, plus the three letter root [shin waw ayin], relating to the noun shua. Due to disputes over how to render [shin waw ayin] lexically, there are a number of generally accepted phrases this combination can translate to:
Yeho-shua
Literal meaning:
* "Yhwh" (is) a cry-for-help * "Yhwh" (is) a cry-for-saving * "Yhwh" (is) a saving-cry
That is, when in need of help shout, "God <sic>!"
Figurative meaning:
* Yhwh is salvation * Yhwh saves * Yhwh is my help
That is, God <sic> always answers a cry for help.
Shout "God!"? Yhwh is not the word God!! More accurately, these should have read...
That is, when in need of help shout, "YaHuWaW!"
That is, YaHuWaH always answers a cry for help.

Message: quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And, of course, Iesu and Iesus was, we are told, an attempt to transliterate this sycopated word, Y'shua, into Latin. It eventually evolved into the Ibriy/Greek/Latin/English hybrid, and totally meaningless word, JESUS (gee-zus). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, you have been told wrong. Me too. This is one item that I had to eat crow on after I had studied Biblical Hebrew and tried to debate the same position you still put forth. It does not hold water. Using the early Greek LXX OT and the Greek NT is the slam dunk for Iesous but the Yeshua argument can be just as easily established from the later Masoretic (why bother when we have older Greek of both the OT and the NT establishing the antiquity of "Iesous" - both texts being earlier than the Masorah Tanakh).
However, even if you want to go the much later Masoretic Hebrew route instead of the earlier Greek you will find that the name Yeshua is established in the later Biblical Hebrew. Notice that Joshua is also called this name Yeshua while also being called Yehoshua and that in the same verses in the LXX the word Jesus (Iesous) is there. Keep in mind - of course - that there is no "J" in the Hebrew so the "J" would be rendered "Y":

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ezr 3:8 Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD.

TWOT Reference Root Word Not Available for 03091 Part of Speech n pr m, n pr loc Outline of Biblical Usage Jeshua = "he is saved"
n pr m
1) son of Nun of the tribe of Ephraim and successor to Moses as the leader of the children of Israel; led the conquest of Canaan
2) son of Jehozadak and high priest after the restoration
3) a priest in the time of David who had charge of the 9th course
4) a Levite in the reign of Hezekiah
5) head of a Levitical house which returned from captivity in Babylon
6) father of a builder of the wall of Jerusalem in the time of Nehemiah
So there you have precedent that the name Yeshua (Jeshua) is an established name in Hebrew predating Christ.
Now, having proven that Yeshua is an established name in the Hebrew Bible (especially for Joshua), connect the dots:
Hebrew Yehoshua is also Hebrew Yeshua
Hebrew Yeshua is found as Greek Iesous in the LXX OT.
Greek Iesous is in English Jesus
There is no "sh" sound in the Greek so we rightly have the middle "s" sound in Iesous. The "s" at the end of the Greek name is a grammatical necessity.
So either way you want to go the name Jesus and Yeshua are present. 300 BC Greek LXX or the 900 AD Masoretic text.
quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nomina si nescis perit cognitio rerum. If you know not the names of things, the knowledge of things themselves perishes. Co. Litt. 86. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, the Greek NT stands as solid and detailed testimony of the name Iesous so the knowledge of things concerning Him has NOT parished. In fact that name Jesus is called "emmanuel" which means "God is with us". The same Jesus that is a light to the Gentiles and the glory of Israel.

But, if anyone thinks it a waste of time to study the names, with particular attention to their meanings, it is certainly their prerogative to do so. They should probably just ignore threads like "His Name is Not Jesus" and "His Name is Not Yahu'shua", if that is the truth of the matter.
agreed, Peace, kevin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is a waste of time if one is not willing to REALLY study the topic but rather only looking to find things to support their false assumptions.
Kev, consider these important points nobody seems to bother with:
Jesus spoke Aramaic and most certainly Greek but not the 9th century AD Babylonian Hebrew of the Masorah Tanakh written over 800 years after the fact. Think on that a bit.
In Aramaic His name is Eashoa'. In Greek it is Iesous. No conspiracy at all seeing as the "Toldoth Yeshu" assertion does not even come into this equation until at least hundreds of years later (5 AD at the earliest) but most likely over 1,000 years later with the Jewish persecutions. The Hebrew that oneisraelite is trying to use to make his argument is from the Masoretic OT Tanakh which was written around the 9th Century AD. Christ Himself quotes the Greek LXX OT which was written around 300 BC. Even in that Greek LXX OT, we see IHSOUS (Iesous) in the title of the Book of Joshua. In a word, the Masoretic Hebrew is much later than both Greek and Aramaic that Jesus would have been familiar with!
This whole "blot out the name" argument is quite flawed for those simple points (and more).
