An Introduction to God

Prelude

Who is Yahowah and What Does He Want?

Yada’ Yah

Call me Yada. I am going to serve as your guide and narrator throughout this voyage of discovery. As we embark on our journey, you should know that I am an irrelevant character. This story is not about me. It is about God. It is focused upon understanding the means to engage in a relationship with Him.

If your mind is open, and if you are willing to let go of the myths which permeate our world, you are on the cusp of engaging in life’s greatest and most rewarding adventure. The universe we are going to explore is extraordinary, well beyond anything you have ever imagined. And while the map to this magnificent realm has been available for a very long time, not one in a million people have capitalized upon it, and thus very few individuals have gone where we are going.

The guidebook to our ultimate destination requires us to travel on the Ark of the Covenant through words, through time and space, to the mind of God. It will not, however, require any faith. You are kindly requested to check your beliefs at the door. But that does not mean that this expedition will be easy. It will require your undivided attention. There are no shortcuts. And while the directions are clear, even relatively simple, the document we must examine to find our way is both profoundly brilliant and appropriately complex. It is therefore no less sophisticated than the equations used to create the universe and author the code which underlies life itself.

Yahweh, which is more precisely transliterated, Yahowah (pronounced using His “Towrah – Teachings” for guidance), is the Creator’s one and only name. Based upon the Hebrew verb “hayah – to exist,” God’s personal and proper name explains our existence: past, present, and future. And so now that you have been properly introduced, since God often uses the nickname “Yah,” you should feel comfortable using it as well.

“Yada’ means: “to know in a relational sense, to recognize, to acknowledge, and then to understand.” Therefore, the goal of this Introduction to God is to “yada’ – know” Yahowah as He revealed Himself, and then strive to “yada’ – understand” what He had to say about the seven subjects most important to Him: His “Dabar – Word,” His “Shem – Name,” His “Towrah – Teaching,” His “Beryth – Covenant,” His “Mitswah – Instructions,” His “Miqra’ey –  Invitations,” and His “Derek – Way.”

More succinctly stated: who is Yah, and what does He want? Is it possible for us to actually come to yada’ Yah? Is there a reliable path to God, and should one exist, what might we expect once we get there?

To answer these questions, we have a lot of ground to cover. In order to appreciate what Yahowah had to say about Himself and the relationship He desires with us, countless religious beliefs will have to be discarded, and new, fertile ground will need to be plowed. So in the pages which follow, we will pull the weeds of heresy. We will lay fallow false terminology, replacing it with God’s testimony. Through careful husbandry, we will cultivate an appreciation for God’s Word, and reveal the proper names and titles our Creator selected, and then explain how these were designed to be known and shared. We will expose the sordid history of today’s bible translations and examine the tools which can be used to correctly convey what God actually revealed.

In this Introduction to God, we will closely observe Yah’s Torah testimony, collectively comprised of “BaRe’syth – In the Beginning (misnamed Genesis),” “Shemowth – Names (misnamed Exodus),” “Qara’ – Called-Out (misnamed Leviticus),” “BaMidbar – In the Wilderness (misnamed Numbers),” “Dabarym – Words (misnamed Deuteronomy),” and as a surprise to many, “Yahowsha’ – Yah Saves (misnamed Joshua),” carefully examining and thoughtfully considering the revealed text. We will ponder the implications of God’s most important teachings, consider the terms for participating in His covenant, study His conditions, observe His invitations, and evaluate His way as it was foretold in the prophecies pertaining to our salvation.

In this light, I would be remiss if I did not tell you that properly translated, the first words of the first six books reveal: “In the beginning God conceived” “these names for the children of those who engage and endure with God,” “and Yahowah called out to Moshe” “and spoke the Word to Moseh in the wilderness of words” to convey “these words” “which speak of Yahowah providing salvation.”

Specifically, we will analyze what really happened during the three most important days in human history—on Passover, Unleavened Bread, and FirstFruits in 33 CE. We will discuss who the Ma’aseyah Yahowsha’ really is (the diminished corporeal manifestation of Yahowah set-apart from Him to do the work required to save us), and who He is not (the Lord Jesus Christ). We will contemplate what He did (by observing, fulfilling, and enabling the Torah’s promises), and what He did not do (die on a cross to save us). We will detail the seven-step path Yahowah provided to enable us to live forever in His home as children in His family.

While the evidence to substantiate each of these conclusions lies before you, and while it is both ubiquitous and irrefutable, having attempted to guide tens-of-thousands to God, I am certain that many readers have already jumped ship. That is not hyperbole; I have witnessed them doing so. Religion is a stubborn and debilitating foe. You see, faith lies outside the realm of evidence and reason, so belief systems naturally render their victims impervious to both. The moment believers are confronted with information which is contrary to their faith they flee, murmuring quotations from their favorite wannabe prophets, the likes of Paul, Muhammad, Maimonides, or Joseph Smith. They are incapable of seeing the folly of their replies, and are blind to the reality that the “scriptures” they quote are not reliable. For those who have been indoctrinated by Christianity, by Islam, Judaism, and Mormonism, even God’s testimony is insufficient to dissuade them from the beguiling beliefs which cloud their vision.

If I may, please consider this concrete example. A scholar (generically defined as: someone who knows a lot but understands very little) associated with a popular English Bible translation, jumped ship the moment he read that the Ma’aseyah Yahowsha’ is “the diminished corporeal manifestation of Yahowah, set apart from Him to do the work required to serve us.” And while that is a precisely accurate rendition of Yahowah’s and Yahowsha’s testimony on this subject, the Christian apologist cited an errant interpretation of one of Paul’s letters to suggest that I was wrong because Paul professed that “the fullness of the godhead resided upon him bodily.” Mind you, the fullness of God wouldn’t fit into our galaxy, much less our solar system, our planet, or a person walking upon it. But since Christians didn’t know or like the God I’m going to introduce you to, they created a new one made in the image of man. Then adding injury to insult, they ignorantly believe that this god died, which in turn saved them. If it weren’t for the fact that this restatement of pagan myths was so deadly and damning, such foolishness would actually be funny.

Now turning our attention to the words which comprise the Word of God, we will assess the oldest Hebrew manuscripts using the most reputable lexicons. And in order to provide the proper perspective from which to view the mind, purpose, and character of God, we will review the history of bible translations, and reveal the truth about the legacy of the text itself, so that you come to recognize the corrupt nature of the book you may have been told is “inerrant.” In the process, you will be exposed to a variety of tools which can be deployed in your personal quest to scrutinize God’s testimony for yourself—and thereby verify the amplified translations I have provided for your consideration.

Speaking of the Author, we will analyze His YHWH designation to ascertain whether or not God’s personal and proper name was designed to be spoken, and if so, determine how it should be pronounced. We will even examine some of the schemes men have deployed over the ages to keep you from knowing these things—to make you believe that they are unknowable. In the process, we will also consider a host of other essential names and titles, because knowing the correct terminology and understanding the meaning it conveys, is not only the difference between wisdom and ignorance, it can be the difference between life and death.

Since it is foundational, since it provides the proper orientation from which to understand Yahowah’s Word, His Name, His Teaching, His Covenant, His Instructions, His Invitations, and His Way, once we have drained the religious swamp of its corruptions, our journey of discovery will commence with a systematic review of what the Towrah “teaches.” And while there are more opinions regarding the merits of the Torah than there are religions, we are going to limit our observations to the Author’s comments. But be forewarned, even with this limitation, our exploration of the Towrah will be comprehensive—spanning several hundred pages.

God did not intend for us to divide His “teaching and guidance” into chapters and verses, nor for us to take snippets of His “instructions and directions” out of context. So we will do as He asked and “shamar – be methodical and thorough in our observations, closely examining and carefully considering” the guidance Yahowah has thoughtfully, lovingly, and mercifully provided in His Towrah.

Along these lines, I’d like to pierce a stubborn myth. You may be surprised to learn that “Torah” does not mean “Law,” and that Yah never once asks us “to obey” Him or it. Instead, He asks us to “observe,” which is to “closely examine and carefully consider” His “teachings” so that we choose to respond appropriately to the guidance He has provided.

Long after God introduces Himself in the first book of His “Towrah –Instructions and Directions,” called “BaRe’shyth – In the Beginning,” He explains the nature of the relationship He wants to develop with us. And because it is central to Yahowah’s purpose, His very reason for creating us, we will turn our attention to God’s “Beryth – Family-Oriented Covenant Relationship,” devoting one hundred pages to this singular topic. During this review, our goal will be to highlight the Covenant’s lone prerequisite, and then consider its four baseline requirements, so that those who concur with God’s terms and conditions might avail themselves of the Covenant’s copious and marvelous benefits. And in time, we will determine whether or not God’s Covenant has been changed or renewed, and thereby ascertain whether or not the “Talmud,” “New Testament,” “Qur’an,” or “Book of Mormon” serve as the inspired word of god as many believers profess.

In the order of things, Yahowah etched His Terms and Conditions in stone long after He established His Covenant, so we will follow His example, and we will consider the three sweeping summary statements and seven specific instructions He personally scribed on two tablets of stone. To accomplish this, and to understand what He had to say to us, we will open the Towrah to the second book, “Shemowth – Names,” where we will find Yahowah not only revealing His name, but also explaining how He wants us to view Him, to interact with Him, and to live our lives.
