Yahuweh is God’s name

Towrah — prescriptions for living, law, instructions, information, and written code of conduct…

If you are a True Believer of YHWH (YAHWEH), and His son Yahshua, you will not give honor, consciously or unconsciously, to a pagan idol called “LORD”.

The LORD is not God. The LORD cannot save. There is no inheritance right associated with man’s revisionist replacement. The “LORD” is the title and name of another spirit. Yahuweh is God’s name. Yahuweh will always be God’s name, no matter who you are, what language you speak, or where you live. Yahuweh is the God who established the Covenant with Abraham. Yahuweh is the name by which God wants to be known. Yahuweh is the name Moses used to save the Children of Yisra’el. It is God’s name for all time and in all places. God has no other name. The Covenant has no other sponsor. There is no other Savior.

=====

Religions are manmade constructs designed to elevate and enrich clerics at the expense of the masses. Yahuweh hates them as much as he despises those who preach and promote such deceptions. In Leviticus 19 we read: “You shall be qodesh (set apart) for I, Yahuweh your God, am set apart.” To be set apart is to be removed from the poison of false teachings. “Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves molten gods.”

===

According to Yahuweh the best way to oppose evil is to know and apply Scripture.

===

You won’t be alone if you follow God’s instructions. Yahuweh, Yahushua, and the Set Apart Spirit will be with you. Spend the Sabbath doing what Yahushua did—read the Scriptures. And if you have the opportunity, teach others what you discover.

===

The things that annoy Yahuweh the most are: 1) Unfaithfulness demonstrated by creating and serving false gods in violation of the First and Second Commandments; 2) Advocating and tolerating deceitful, destructive and lifeless teaching in violation with the Third Commandment; 3) Not observing the Sabbath in violation of the Fourth Commandment; 4) Imitating satanic political and religious rituals and doctrines in violation of Deuteronomy 18; 5) Corrupting, changing, or counterfeiting His Word, prescriptions and instructions as delineated in Hosea. Sunday worship infringes on all of these. If you are going to “church” on Sunday, stop. If you can’t get your congregation to meet on the Sabbath in harmony with Yahuweh’s instructions, leave them with the warning that they are hypocrites, angering God.

===

One cannot love someone they fear. It is impossible. Fear and reverence are mutually exclusive concepts.

===

It’s not what is in our hands that counts with God, it’s what’s in our minds, hearts, and souls that matters.

===

“Indeed, Yahuweh your God will kneel down for your benefit (barak – lower Himself to bless you)…” (Deuteronomy 16:15)

===

“I am (‘aniy) Yahuweh, your (‘atem) God (‘elohym).” (Leviticus 23:43)

===

“Permit me neither poverty nor wealth. Break bread for me as clearly communicated and prescribed lest I be self-sufficient and be deemed insufficient by You.” (Proverbs 30:8)

===

Yahweh is the one who pardons, who lifts up, and who dwells forever. He is the one whose personal and proper name is above all others. Yahshua is the diminished manifestation of Yahweh sent into our world as a humble servant to save us by allowing Himself to be smitten and bruised on our behalf. In so doing, His Spirit renewed and restored those who were humble enough to recognize that they weren’t worthy.

===

Yahweh is judgmental, and He wants us to be as well. Discernment enables us to better understand the relationship between Yahweh and Yahshua, between the written Word and the Word made flesh.

===

Yahuweh was, is, and forever will be. There is no limit to His overall magnitude, His greatness, or His power. God can do whatever He wants.

===

God wants a relationship with us, and that He wants to be known to us. Yahuweh is our God. His existence is related to our own. Scripture is an ongoing conversation dedicated to that proposition.

===

===

Yahuweh exists for you as everlasting and eternal light, your God as your adornment, a garment of shining … (Isaiah 60:19)

===

‘Forgive all my sins, accept my iniquity, bear my guilt, and carry my liability away, receiving, marrying, and possessing me by way of grace – an unearned favor conceived in love that makes me acceptable. The restoration of our relationship is the result of this communication with You.” (Hosea 13:15, 14:1-2)

====

“Yah is my strength, power, and shelter and my psalm. He exists as Yashuw’ah.” (Psalm 118:14)

====

“Yahuweh is beside me. I will not be afraid. What can mankind do to me?” (Psalm 118:6)

====

With Yahuweh beside me as my supporter, I see those who hate me.” (Psalm 118:7)

===

“Serve alongside Yahuweh, your God, and He will kneel down and bless your bread and water. And He will remove disease and suffering from your midst.” (Exodus 23:25)

===

“Publicly proclaim in My name a change of mind for the better to pardon and forgive sin to all races and nations starting from Yaruwshalaim.” (Luke 24:47)

=======================

The LORD is not God. The LORD cannot save. There is no inheritance right associated with man’s revisionist replacement. The “LORD” is the title and name of another spirit. Yahuweh is God’s name. Yahuweh will always be God’s name, no matter who you are, what language you speak, or where you live. Yahuweh is the God who established the Covenant with Abraham. Yahuweh is the name by which God wants to be known. Yahuweh is the name Moses used to save the Children of Yisra’el. It is God’s name for all time and in all places. God has no other name. The Covenant has no other sponsor. There is no other Savior.

======================

The purpose of Scriptural revelation is to segregate souls. We can choose either azab/separation or beriyth/relationship. This is why when asked about bringing peace, Yahushua said that He “came to bring division.” We can choose light or darkness, enlightenment or ignorance, instruction or confusion, safety or distress, life or death, the Creator or the creation. We can choose to love Yah and to be set-apart and separated unto Him, or we can elect to be ruled by men under the influence of the Adversary, and thus be expelled, either losing our soul or spending eternity in darkness and sorrow. Our very existence is purposed by this choice, making these words worthy of our consideration. It is a spiritual choice with a direct influence on the status and ultimate fate of our soul.

Yahuweh exists for you as everlasting and eternal light, your God as your adornment, a garment of shining  … (Isaiah 60:19)

Let us Revere and respect Yahuweh our God, walk in all His ways, Love Him, serve  Yahuweh, with all our heart and with all our soul.

“Let’s start walking and let us return to Yahuweh. He will raise us up  and we shall live in His presence.” (Hosea 6:1-2)

And upon their hearts I will write that I shall be their God and they shall be family.” (Jeremiah 31:33)

For indeed I will forgive their sin and remember their offenses against the standard no longer.” (Jeremiah 31:34)

“For this reason out of His substance and completeness we all receive unearned favor and also great joy.” (John 1:16)

“And no longer will they teach mankind’s errant thoughts or corrupt reasoning, or mankind’s despondency and grief, his tale of woe claiming to know Yahuweh (YHWH). Because then indeed they will all know Me relationally, from the smallest, youngest, and least significant to the biggest, oldest, and most influential, prophetically declares Yahuweh. For indeed I will forgive their sin and remember their offenses against the standard no longer.” (Jeremiah 31:34)

“Indeed with this Familial Covenant Relationship which relationally I will cut with the House of Yisra’el after those days, prophetically declares Yahuweh (YHWH), I will give My Torah, placing it in their midst.

“Let’s start walking and let us return to Yahuweh. For indeed He has torn us, but He will heal us. He has stricken us, but He will heal and repair us. He has stricken us but He will wrap Himself around and us. After two days, He will revive us. In the third day, He will raise us up, establishing us upright and we shall live in His presence.” (Hosea 6:1-2)

“My people are destroyed and will perish as a result of a lack of knowledge and corrupted information. Indeed because you have rejected and avoided understanding, I will also reject and avoid you, so you shall be separated from serving as My ministers. And since you have ignored and forgotten Almighty God’s Towrah, I will ignore, cease to care about, and forget your children also. So then as they became more numerous and influential, they continued to sin against Me. Therefore I will substitute their glory for disgrace.” (Hosea 4:6-7)

“And I will not love her children; for they are the children of fornication. For their mother wantonly committed adultery and idolatry. She who conceived them made a serious mistake.’” (Hosea 2:4-5 / 6-7)

“Let her turn away from illicit relationships with false deities from her presence and the marks of unfaithfulness from between her breasts.” (Hosea 2:2 / 4)

“Indeed the Spirit, She in mortal man and the nesamah of the Almighty, provides understanding and teaches them.” (Job 32:8)

“Six days you shall labor doing your ordinary work, and you shall do all your spiritual service, but the seventh  day observe the Sabbath unto Yahuweh (YaHuWeH) your God. On it you shall not do any spiritual service, not you, your son, daughter, male and female servants, animals, or means of production, or foreigners which are within your gates, spiritually resting and reflecting with you.” (Deuteronomy 5:13-14)

“You shall observe the Sabbath day set apart as Yahuweh your God commanded.” (Deuteronomy 5:12)

“With and by means of Yahuweh’s blessing He will bear our burdens, forgive us, lift us up, and carry us away. And as a result of God’s righteousness and justice, He will save this generation which diligently seeks and searches for Him, which cares deeply about developing a relationship with Him, those who desire and seek after the presence of Ya’aqob.” (Psalm 24:5-6)

“You shall not lift up, bear, or advance through the name or reputation of Yahuweh your God, accordingly, lifeless and worthless deception or devastating and destructive falsehood, for indeed Yahuweh (YaHuWeH) will not forgive or leave unpunished those who relationally deceive, beguile, or delude in association with His name to promote and effect vain and ineffectual lies which lead to lifelessness and destruction.” (Deuteronomy 5:11)

“And I will prepare, perform, and produce unfailing mercy, unearned favor, and unmerited kindness to thousands who love Me and who closely observe My Commandments.” (Deuteronomy 5:10)

“For indeed, I, Yahuweh (YaHuWeH) your God, am a zealous and jealous God, reckoning the consequence of twisting and distorting of the fathers upon their children unto the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me.” (Deuteronomy 5:9)

“You shall not prepare or produce for yourselves a carved image or idol, or any visual representation of something, which is in the heavens above, or which is on the earth below, or which is in the waters beneath the land. You shall not bow down and worship them or speak for them and you shall not serve them.” (Deuteronomy 5:8-9)

“You shall not have other gods in proximity to My presence.’” (Deuteronomy 5:7)

“Then Yahushua said to them anew, ‘Be assured of salvation according to and in the same proportion as is present in the Father who sent Me to be used. I also prepare and send you out to carry a message.’ And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said: ‘Accept and carry the revered, cleansing, and Set-Apart Spirit.” (John 20:21-22)

“Yahuweh did not cut this Familial Covenant Relationship with our fathers, rather with those of us here who are all living this day.” (Deuteronomy 5:3)

“Then Yahuweh said, ‘Forasmuch as these people approach Me with their mouths, and with their lip service, yet they removed their hearts from Me. Their fear toward Me exists because it is taught from manmade traditions learned by rote.” (Isaiah 29:12-13)

“You shall revere and respect Yahuweh your God; you shall serve with Him, joining closely to and associating with Him, affirming the truth in His personal and proper name. He is your adoring source of light. He is your God who relationally has prepared and produced great, reverent and respectively awesome things for you.” (Deuteronomy 10:20-21)

“Surely if you revere and respect Yahuweh your God, that you walk in all His ways, and that you love Him, serving with Yahuweh, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul, closely observing accordingly the Commandments of Yahuweh, and also the clearly communicated prescriptions which relationally I instruct and direct you today for your good and benefit.” (Deuteronomy 10:12-13)

Indeed because you have rejected and avoided understanding, I will also reject and avoid you, so you shall be separated from serving as My ministers. And since you have ignored and forgotten Almighty God’s Towrah, I will ignore, cease to care about, and forget your children also.” (Hosea 4:6)

“The Almighty saw that the light was good. And God separated light from darkness.” (Genesis 1:4)

“Your sun shall no longer come and go, neither shall your moon remove, gather and receive, for Yahuweh shall exist for you as eternal and everlasting Light. The days of you mourning over death shall be finished and fulfilled by way of restitution.” (Isaiah 60:20)

“The sun shall no longer exist for you as light by day, neither for brightness shall the moon provide light for you. Yahuweh exists for you as everlasting and eternal light, your God as your adornment, a garment of shining appearance which brings honor, glory, beauty, and splendor to the wearer.” (Isaiah 60:19)

“Then you will know that I, Yahuweh, save you, and I redeem you: the Mighty One of Ya’aqob.” (Isaiah 60:16)

“Instead you are forsaken, separated, and abandoned and you are shunned without passing over. Yet I shall appoint and establish you as an everlasting exaltation, rejoicing for generations, eternally dwelling in the household.” (Isaiah 60:15)

“Behold, the days are coming, Yahuweh prophetically declares, when I shall take a stand, establish, and rise up  concerning Love an upright, lawful, and vindicating branch.” (Jeremiah 23:5)

“As an eagle arouses and stirs her nest, quickly cleaning and hovering over to protect it on behalf of her young, spreading out her wings like a garment covering them, receiving and keeping them, lifting them up and carrying them away upon her wings, so Yahuweh alone, separated from others led the Way. And there was no foreign or false god working or associating with Him.” (Deuteronomy 32:11-12)

“The Spirit of Yahuweh will ascend out of the wilderness. His source of life, His basis for purification, and His fountain of joy” are equivalent to “His cistern of mercy, His source of blessings, well of sustenance, and fountain of life….” (Hosea 13:15)

‘Return, be changed, and be restored children of Adam/man’” (Psalm 90:3)

“I have come in the personal and proper name of My Father, but you have not received or grasp hold of Me. And yet if and when another comes in his own individual and personal name, that one individual, you all will actually receive and accept. How are you able to trust the glorified opinion from another, receiving and believing it, and yet the shining radiance, judgment, and glory from the One and Only, you actually do not seek information from nor question?” (John 5:43-44)

“And He said, ‘Behold, here and now, I am cutting a Familial Covenant Relationship conspicuously announced before your people. I will do wonderful and astounding things which relationally have not been conceived on all the land and among all the Gentiles. And the entire family will see who is in their midst: Yahuweh working with you. Indeed it will be awesomely revering and astonishingly respectful that which relationally I do with you.” (Exodus 34:10)

“In the beginning, the Almighty accordingly created the spiritual world and also the material realm.” Genesis 1:1

“If you have been foolish in self exaltation and if you have devised a plan put a hand on your mouth.” (Proverbs 30:32

“A generation whose teeth are swords and jaws are knives, devour part of the Earth in order to impoverish and afflict the willingly abused and oppressed by way of mankind.” (Proverbs 30:14)

“A generation will be pure and clean in their own eyes and yet not washed of their filth and excrement. A generation lofty and exalted in their own eyes: how and why are their eyelids raised?” (Proverbs 30:12-13)

“I will kneel down and adore, blessing those who bless and adore you, and I will slight, trifle with, and abate him who curses you.” (Genesis 12:3)

If your mind is open, if there are aspects of your faith that trouble you, if you realize that there are serious problems associated with the religions of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and/or Secular Humanism, if you really want to know God, even at the expense of your faith, then what follows is for you.

Yahweh’s Word (the Torah, Prophets, and Psalms) and Yahshua’s testimony (as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Revelation)

===

God spoke all these Words, saying: I am Yahuweh (YHWH) your God who relationally came forth to bring you out of the house of bondage in the land of Misraym. You shall not establish or institute other gods beside My personal presence (Exodus 20:1-3)

“Surely separated I don’t exist, a man without the understanding of ‘Adam–neither taught wisdom nor one who knows and experiences the Set-Apart One” (Proverbs 30:3)

“Do not add to His Words, lest beware, He will judge and convict you and you shall be proven a liar.” (Proverbs 30:6)

“Permit me neither poverty nor wealth. Break bread for me as clearly communicated and prescribed lest I be self-sufficient and be deemed insufficient by You.” (Proverbs 30:8)

“Don’t let me say: ‘Who is Yahuweh (YaHuWeH)?’ lest I be disinherited, caught in the act, arrested, and incarcerated for removing without permission and carrying away by stealth the personal and proper name of my God.” (Proverbs 30:9)

“Yahuweh’s Towrah is complete and entirely perfect returning, restoring, and transforming the soul. Yahuweh’s testimony is trustworthy and reliable making understanding and obtaining wisdom simple for the open-minded.” (Psalm 19:7)

Glossary

===

Amen

The Scriptural Hebrew word “A-MN” (which is an affirmation of firmness and support) pronounced “Aw-mane” and not “Amen.” The “A” sounds like the “a” in the word “father.” Likewise the Greek equivalent in the Greek New Testament is pronounced: “Aw-mane.” The Egyptians, including the Alexandrians, had been worshiping, or been acquainted with, the head of the Egyptian pantheon, Amen-Ra, the great Sun-deity, for more than one thousand years BC Before he was known as Amen-Ra, he was known as “Amen” among the Thebans. According to Funk and Wagnall’s Standard College Dictionary, AMEN was the god of life and procreation in Egyptian mythology, and later identified with the Sun-god as the supreme deity and called “Amen-Ra.” Smith’s Bible Dictionary and Egyptian Belief and Modern Thought agree. Our Savior Yahshua calls Himself “the Aw-mane” in Revelation 3: 14. True Believers should not invoke the name of the Egyptian Sun-deity “Amen” at the end of prayer.

===

J-sus

The original name of the Messiah is not J-sus or Iesous, but (in English spelling) Yahushua, Yahoshua. or Yahshua, pronounced as Yah-oo-shua (soft on the oo). In our Savior’s word, His Father’s Name was given to Him. The Father’s Name is Yahuweh, or Yahweh, pronounced as Yah-oo-weh (soft on the oo).

According to Wörterbuch der Antike, the substitute name ‘J-sus’ can be traced back to the Latin Iesus and the Greek Iesous. Then, it can be traced back to an adaptation of the name of the Greek healing goddess Ieso. This is confirmed by Greek-English Lexicon of Liddell and Scott. To Greeks who venerated a healing goddess Ieso, a savior Iesous must have been most acceptable, suggests a writer in Philologische Wochenschrift. In spite of attempts to justify the “translating” of the Father’s Name and His Son’s Name, into the word ‘G-d’ for the Father and ‘J-sus’ for the Son, it cannot be done. A name remains the same in all languages.

The father of the Greek goddess Ieso was Asclepius, the deity of healing. The father of Asclepius was Apollo, the great Sun-deity. Thus, the name Iesous can be traced back to Sun-worship. There is also a relationship to the Egyptian goddess Isis and her son Isu. According to Reallexikon der Agpyptischen Religionsgeschichte, the name of Isis appears in ieroglyphic inscriptions as ESU or ES. Isu and Esu sound exactly like “Jesu” that the Savior is called in the translated Scriptures of many languages.

Esu was a Gallic deity comparable to the Scandanavian Odin. The Greek abbreviation for Iesous is IHS, which is found on many inscriptions made by the Church during the Middle Ages. IHS was the mystery name of Bacchus (Tammuz), another Sun-deity. These are only a few examples.

===

Church

This is the word used in most English versions as a rendering of the Greek “ekklesia.” The Greek word means “a calling out,” “a meeting,” or “a gathering.” Ekklesia is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew qahal, which means an ‘assembly’ or a congregation.

The origin of the word “church” is kuriakon or kyriakon in Greek. The meaning is a building (the house of Kurios, or Lord). Dictionaries give the origin of “church” as the Anglo-Saxon root, circe. Circe was the goddess-daughter of Helios, the Sun-deity. The word circe is related to “circus,” “circle,” “circuit,” and “circulate.”

Circe was originally a Greek goddess whose name was written and pronounced as Kirke. The word “church” is known in Scotland as “kirk”, in Germany as “Kirche”, and in Netherlands as “kerk”. The correct English word to use is Assembly, or the Greek word Ekklesia, but not “church”.

===

Adoni

A Hebrew word which translates “my Lord,” or “my sovereign,” or “Master.” Substituted in worship for the Sacred Name of YHWH (YAHWEH) by the Yahudim because of their superstition, it is linked etymologically with the Greek idol Adonis and is therefore unacceptable for use by the True Believer, Worshiper, Israelite.

===

Bible

The term “Scripture (or Scriptures)” is used once in the Book of Daniel and fifty-four times in the Greek New Testament. It refers to the whole book, which is commonly known as “the Bible.” The parts of The Scripture, or individual books, are called “books” or “scrolls,” which are biblos or biblion in Greek. These words do not refer to the complete writ, which are The Scriptures. The word “Bible” for The Scriptures was first used about AD 400. The papyrus, on which all documents were written, was imported from Egypt through the Phoenician seaport Gebal, which the Greeks called Byblos or Byblus. This seaport was the home of the Phoenician Sun-deity. This city was founded by Baal Chronos and was the seat of Adonis and once contained a large temple of Adonis. The Sun-god was associated with the “Lady of Biblos.” Both the city of Byblos in Phoenicia and the city Byblis in Egypt were named after the female deity Byblis (also called Byble or Biblis). This deity was the granddaughter of Apollo, the Greek Sun-deity. Byblia was also a name for Venus, an astral goddess and a goddess of sensuality among the ancient Greeks. ‘The Scriptures’ is the correct term to use when referring to the whole of the Sacred Writings.

===

Cross and Chi-Rho

The words “cross” and “crucify” are mis-translations, a “later rendering,” of the Greek words stauros and stauroo. According to Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, STAUROS denotes, primarily, an upright pole or stake. The shape of the two-beamed cross had its origin in ancient Chaldea and was used as the symbol of the god Tammuz. In the third century AD, pagans were received into the apostate ecclesiastical system and were permitted largely to retain their pagan signs and symbols.

According to The Companion Bible, crosses were used as symbols of the Babylonian Sun-god. The evidence is complete; the Messiah was put to death upon an upright stake, not on two pieces of timber placed at an angle.

According to Encyclopedia Britannica, in the Egyptian churches the cross was a pagan symbol of life borrowed by the Christians and interpreted in the pagan manner.

According to Greek dictionaries and lexicons, the primary meaning of stauros is an upright pale, pole, or stake. The secondary meaning of “cross” is admitted to be a “later” rendering. In spite of the evidence, almost all-common versions of the Scriptures persist with the Latin Vulgate’s crux (meaning cross) as the rendering of the Greek stauros.

The most accepted reason for the “cross” being brought into Messianic worship is Constantine’s famous vision of “the cross superimposed on the sun” in AD 312. What he saw is nowhere to be found in Scripture. Even after his so-called “conversion,” his coins showed an even-armed cross as a symbol for the Sun-god. Many scholars have doubted the “conversion” of Constantine because of the wicked deeds that he did afterwards.

After Constantine had the “vision of the cross,” he promoted another variety of the cross, the Chi-Rho or Labarum. This has been explained as representing the first letters of the name Christos (CH and R, or, in Greek, X and P). The identical symbols were found as inscriptions on rock, dating from ca. 2500 BC, being interpreted as “a combination of the two Sun-symbols.” Another proof of its pagan origin is that the identical symbol was found on a coin of Ptolemeus III from 247-222 BC.

According to An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Traditional Symbols, the labarum was also an emblem of the Chaldean sky-god. Emperor Constantine adopted the labarum as the imperial ensign. According to Dictionary of Mythology Folklore and Symbols, the symbol was in use long before Christianity. Chi probably stood for Great Fire or Sun. Rho probably stood for Pater or Patah (Father). The word labarum yields “everlasting Father Sun.”

===

Gentile(s)

The word Gentile is a word not found in the Scriptures. It is an incorrect rendering of the Hebrew and the Greek word, which literally means ‘Nation(s)’. In Scripture, the term can refer to non-Yisraelites (Israelites), or non-Yahudium (Judeans), or it may refer to many, or to all nations, including Yisrael (Israel). In all cases the word gentile in Bible translations should always be replaced with the word ‘nation(s)’, using context to define or to determine the proper application, or meaning.

===

Glory

The Greek word doxa in the Greek translations of the Old Testament and of the New Testament is usually rendered “glory” in the English versions, a translation of the Latin gloria. The Hebrew word kabod is usually rendered “honor” when applied to man, but rendered “glory” when applied to our Heavenly Father. Doxa means opinion, estimation, esteem, and repute. Kabad means to be heavy or make weighty, and esteem in its figurative sense.

Funk and Wagnalls New Standard Dictionary of the English Language has these three definitions under “glory,” as follows: (1) in religious symbolism, the complete representation of an emanation of light from the person of a sanctified being, consisting of the aureole and the nimbus; (2) the quality of being radiant; as the glory of the sun; (3) any ring of light; a halo. Neither the Hebrew words kabod and kabad nor the Greek words doxa and dokeo carry these meanings.

The Church identified Elohim with the Sun-deity, which was the prevailing deity of the Roman emperors, the Roman capital, and the Roman Empire. Gloria, a Roman goddess, was personified on an icon as a woman whose upper body was almost naked, holding a circle on which are zodiac signs. In the dictionaries, encyclopedias, and ecclesiastical books are found many illustrations of our Savior, the Virgin, and the saints, encircled with radiant circles or emanations of light around them.

Instead of “glory,” such words as “esteem,” “high esteem,” or “repute,” which carry the meanings of the Hebrew and Greek words, can be used.

===

G-d

Gad is a Syrian or Canaanite deity of good luck or fortune. In Hebrew, it is written GD, but with Massoretic vowel-pointing, it is “Gad.” Other Scriptural references to a similar deity, also written GD, have a vowel-pointing giving us “Gawd” or “G-d.” Gad is identified with Jupiter, the Sky-deity or the Sun-deity.

In the Greek, the word G-d is a translation of the word “Theos” meaning Mighty One. This can refer to any person, man or in some cases non-man. The context determines the meaning. Assuming the word always refers to a non-man is error, as the Greek referred to many with authority as “Theos” (Mighty One).

The word “G-d (or god)” is a title, translating the Hebrew Elohim (or elohim), El (or el), and Eloah. However, it is often incorrectly used as a substitute for the Tetragrammaton (YHVH). YAHWEH, or the more accurate YAHUWEH pronounced YAH-oo-AY. Yahweh is the proper personal name of the Creator. Where Elohim is the Hebrew word with the English meaning of “Mighty One” the Greek word with the English meaning of Mighty One is “Theos.” Neither word can be directly related or assumed to be equal to the name Yahweh, the Almighty Sovereign Creator, because this would be error.

According to Encyclopedia Britannica, G-D is the common Teutonic word for a personal object of religious worship, applied to all the superhuman beings of the heathen mythologies, and various kinds of idols. The word “g-d” on the conversion of the Teutonic races to Christianity was adopted as the name of the One Supreme Being, but this is error. The correct personal proper name of the One Supreme Being is Yahweh. Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics and Webster’s Twentieth Century Dictionary, Unabridged agree that the origin of the word G-d, is Teutonic paganism.

In Indo-Germanic dictionaries, only one word resembles “g-d.” It is ghodh and is pronounced the same. This word means union, also sexual union or mating. According to Luneburger Wörterbuch, the following are the same word: Gott, got, gode, gade, god and guth (gud). True Believers should never use the word ‘G-d’, when referring to Yahshua, Yahweh, or El Elyon. See El.

Heaven

Refers to either the open expanse of the sky, or often used to designate the home of the Almighty. Erroneously assumed to be the place for the reward of the saved, but never promised as such anywhere in the Scriptures.

Holy

The Hebrew word qodesh and the equivalent Greek word hagios and their derivatives have been translated as holy, hallowed, or sanctified in older English versions, and in modern versions as sacred. Bible dictionaries state that the meaning of qodesh (as well as qadash) specifies “separation.” Modern scholars use the words “set apart,” “set-apart,” and “apartness.”

According to Dictionary of Mythology Folklore and Symbols, the following is stated about the word HOLY: In practically all languages, the word “holy” has been derived from the divinely honored sun. According to Encyclopedia of Religions, HOLI is the Great Hindu spring festival, held in honor of Krishna, as the spring sun-god. Strong’s Concordance refers to “heile” (the sun’s rays). This form is almost identical to the German and Dutch equivalent of the English “holy.” The German and Dutch word is heilig, which is derived from Heil, the name of a Saxon idol.

===

Lord

The title “lord” is applied to all heathen deities, if the word “g-d” is not used for them. In most cases “lord” and “g-d” are used interchangeably for pagan idols.

There was an Etruscan house deity whose name was Lar, which signified “Lord.” It was also known as Larth, who later on became very popular in Rome and became known as Lares (plural) because as idol statues they were usually in pairs. The Greek equivalent of this name was Heros, which was another name for Zeus. A feminine form was known as Lara, who was the beloved of the god Mercury. Lar and Larth mean Lord. The letters “th” and “d” were virtually interchangeably used, in various nations. It was also common to find “o” and “a” interchangeably used in Old and Middle English. The word “Lord” can also be traced back to Loride, a surname for the Teutonic god Thor, and to Lordo, another deity.

Instead of “Lord,” the word “Master,” an exact rendering of the Hebrew Adonai and the Greek Kurios, can better be used. See Adonai

===

Sabbath

The Scripturally sanctified seventh day of the week designated by YAHWEH as the day of rest when no work is to be done. Observed from sundown Friday to sunset Saturday; also refers to one of seven annual days declared Set Apart by YAHWEH.

Satan

Saw-tawn, is the Hebrew word meaning “adversary” or “accuser” or “opponent.” Satan is the English word transliterating the Hebrew word “saw-tawn. This Hebrew word should have been translated into English as “adversary,” “the adversary,” “an adversary,” “accuser,” “the accuser,” or “opponent,” “the opponent.” In the Greek Scriptures, the Hebrew word is transliterated into “Sa-tan” with the same exact meaning as the Hebrew. The Hebrew meaning would have been the correct and proper way to translate from one language to another, (render the word as to its meaning in the other language). However, in many cases (but not all) the translators chose to transliterate “saw-tawn” simply meaning adversary, as satan, and then changing the word into a name by using a capital “S” thus the word “saw-tawn” which means “adversary, accuser, or opponent” was turned into a proper name!

Saw-tawn (satan) in Hebrew and satan in the Greek is not a proper name! It is simply a word that means adversary, accuser, or opponent.

===

Testament

An incorrect translation, (or mistake) in the King James Version and many other translations, for the word “covenant.” The word “Testament” is a translation of the Greek word diatheke (which means covenant, solemn contract); translating testament for Covenant is unfortunate, for by its use, truth has been effectually veiled through the centuries.

A covenant is a binding agreement between two parties; it is a two-party solemn agreement bound by oath. On the other hand, a testament is a written instrument by which someone has disposed of his estate. The Scriptural Covenant (Contract) was given to Israel through Abraham.

This word “testament” as a description of our present spiritual realm, is inherited from Rome, for it has come to us through the use of the word “testament” in the Latin Vulgate. The word gives the wrong impression of “receiving only, or of disposal of an estate.” It contributes to the erroneous teachings of “only believe,” “grace only,” “good works are unnecessary,” “love only.” The doctrine of “only believe” is the fruit of the work of the “spirit that works in the sons of disobedience,” the spirit in the Man of Lawlessness who instituted this “no-law-religion,” the Great Apostasy, the Mystery of Lawlessness. See Covenant

===

Trinity

The teaching of the triune nature of Yahweh [G-d] does not originate from Scripture. The “Trinity” entered the Christian belief through the original The Apostles’ Creed, formulated as an integral part of the rite of baptism (This “rite” is not the same act as we find in Scripture). A clearly divided and separate confession of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, corresponding to the Divine Persons invoked in the formula of baptism was imposed by Catholicism, a dogma that has persisted into the present day. This Creed developed from a primitive teaching, and is referred to in a letter addressed to Siricius by the Council of Milan (Migne, P.L., XVI, 1213), which supplies the earliest known instance of the combination Symbolum Apostolorum (“Creed of the Apostles”).

The idea that the Trinity originated with the 12 Apostles, or from Scripture is a myth. The actual inception of the doctrine of the Trinity seems to be best explained as coming from the Nicene Creed formulated under the Emperor Constantine in 325 AD, in the attempt to consolidate many of the various religious groups existing under his Empire. Pagan trinities abound throughout history, and it was Constantine I who brought this doctrine into the Messianic faith at the Council of Nicea in AD 325. The concept served the purposes of the early ruling authorities to bring Pagans into an understanding of the teachings of the followers of Yahshua by means of Pagan models. Rather than simply correcting the behavior of Pagans, and Pagan the concepts entering the Christian religion, they instead, adopted many of the processes and customs of Paganism.

Yahweh is Spirit. He has manifested Himself to us in many ways over time. The last time He spoke to us through His Son. Yahweh is the Father Creator being, Yahshua is the son of the Father, the spirit is Yahweh, the Creator being, who is spirit. The Father is not the son, and the son is not the Father. Yahweh is not Yahshua.

Yahushua, Yahoshua, Yahshua

From YHWSHUA (English transliteration of the Hebrew). The revealed personal and proper name of the Son of YAHWEH, the Messiah (anointed one). The redeemer of Israel, and Savior of men. pronounced YAH-oo-SHUA, with YHW represented by YAH-OO, and SHUA represented by SHUA (soft on the OO). Also transliterated as Yahoshua, Yahushua, Yahshua, but never ‘Yeshua’ because this is a ‘Jewish’ transliteration of a common Hebrew noun meaning ‘salvation’ and does not qualify for being “the Name which is above every name.

===

YAHWEH, YAHVAH, YAH

From YHWH, YHVH, or YH, (English transliterations of the Hebrew). The revealed personal and proper name of the one true Elohim (G-d), the Creator of all. From the Hebrew Set Apart Scripture, Ex. 3:15; Ps. 68:4, 83:16-18; Isa. 42:8, 52:6. (YH is an abbreviated form, pronounced YAH). The proper Hebrew name of the Creator is transliterated in English as Ia-HU-eH, (it is pronounced as YAH-oo-EH). YHW is represented by YAH-oo sound, (soft on the OO) and the final H represented by EH or AY. Also transliterated into English forms as YHWH, YHVH, YAH (in the abbreviated form), and as YAHUWEH, YAHWEH or YAHVAH.

If you are a True Believer of YHWH (YAHWEH), and His son Yahshua, you will not give honor, consciously or unconsciously, to a pagan idol. If you cannot, or will not avoid giving such honor, are you any better than the Emperor Constantine who claimed to have had a vision and became a “Christian” while still honoring the pagan Sun-deity?

Saints Faith, Hope and Charity (Latin: Fides, Spes et Caritas, New Testament Greek: Πίστις, Ἐλπίς καὶ Ἀγάπη (Pistis, Elpis, and Agape), Church Slavonic: Вѣра, Надежда, Любы (Věra, Nadežda, Ljuby) are a group of Christian martyred saints. Their mother is said to have been Sophia (Greek for Wisdom); Sapientia (Latin for Wisdom) is also mentioned in some accounts, though not as their mother. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, these were, in fact, two groups bearing the same names. The names are also the words designating the three key Christian virtues mentioned in Apostle Paul’s First Epistle to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 13:13).

In the Eastern Orthodox Church the feast of these saints is kept on 17 September.

A 1685 icon by Karp Zolotaryov.

Although earlier editions of the Roman Martyrology commemorated Saints Faith, Hope and Charity on 1 August and their mother Sophia on 30 September,[1] the present text of this official but professedly incomplete catalogue of saints of the Roman Catholic Church has no feast dedicated to the three saints or their mother: the only Sophia included is an early Christian virgin martyr of Picenum in Italy, commemorated with her companion Vissia on 12 April; another early Christian martyr, Saint Faith (Fides), of Aquitania (southern France), is celebrated on 6 October, a Saint Hope (Spes), an abbot of Nursia who died in about 517, is commemorated on 23 May, and no saint Charity (Caritas) is included, although saints with somewhat similar names, Carissa and Carissima, are given, respectively under 16 April and 7 September.[2]

=========

Jehovah (play /dʒɨˈhoʊvə/) is an anglicized representation of Hebrew יְהֹוָה, a vocalization of the Tetragrammaton יהוה (YHWH), the proper name of the God of Israel in the Hebrew Bible.[1]

יְהֹוָה appears 6,518 times in the traditional Masoretic Text, in addition to 305 instances of יֱהֹוִה (Jehovih).[2] The earliest available Latin text to use a vocalization similar to Jehovah dates from the 13th century.[3]

Most scholars believe “Jehovah” to be a late (ca. 1100 CE) hybrid form derived by combining the Latin letters JHVH with the vowels of Adonai, but there is some evidence that it may already have been in use in Late Antiquity (5th century). It was not the historical vocalization of the Tetragrammaton at the time of the redaction of the Pentateuch (6th century BCE), at which time the most likely vocalization was Yahweh. The historical vocalization was lost because in Second Temple Judaism, during the 3rd to 2nd centuries BCE, the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton came to be avoided, being substituted with Adonai “my Lord”.

Sunday (Listeni/ˈsʌndeɪ/ or /ˈsʌndi/) is the day of the week between Saturday and Monday. For most Christians, Sunday is observed as a day for worship of God and rest, due to the belief that it is Lord’s Day, the day of Christ’s resurrection.

Sunday is a day of rest in most Western countries, part of ‘the weekend’. In most Muslim countries, and Israel, Sunday is a working day.

According to the Hebrew calendars, traditional Christian calendars, Sunday is literally the “first day” of the week. According to the International Organization for Standardization ISO 8601 Sunday is the seventh and last day of the week.

No century in the Gregorian calendar starts on a Sunday, whether its first year is ’00 or ’01.[1] The Jewish New Year never falls on a Sunday. (The rules of the Hebrew calendar are designed such that the first day of Rosh Hashanah will never occur on the first, fourth, or sixth day of the Jewish week; i.e., Sunday, Wednesday, or Friday).

The English noun Sunday derived sometime before 1250 from sunedai, which itself developed from Old English (before 700) Sunnandæg (literally meaning “sun’s day”), which is cognate to other Germanic languages, including Old Frisian sunnandei, Old Saxon sunnundag, Middle Dutch sonnendach (modern Dutch zondag), Old High German sunnun tag (modern German Sonntag), and Old Norse sunnudagr (Danish and Norwegian søndag, and Swedish söndag). The Germanic term is a Germanic interpretation of Latin dies solis (“day of the sun”), which is a translation of the Greek heméra helíou.[2] The p-Celtic Welsh language also translates the Latin “day of the sun” as dydd Sul.

On 7 March 321, Constantine I, Rome’s first Christian Emperor (see Constantine I and Christianity), decreed that Sunday would be observed as the Roman day of rest:

On the venerable Day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. In the country, however, persons engaged in agriculture may freely and lawfully continue their pursuits; because it often happens that another day is not so suitable for grain-sowing or vine-planting; lest by neglecting the proper moment for such operations the bounty of heaven should be lost.[8]
