Name glorifies Yahweh, into the name of a detestable pagan God (Jesus), then how much more could they twist this Mans teachings to say that He taught against Yahwehs Laws? The shocking fact is that the Christians (led by the Catholic Church) have accomplished both of these things, and have convinced the whole world (including the vast majority of Israylites) that these lies are truth. I challenge you to believe Yahweh and His Word, instead of believing lying preachers who desire to do away with Yahwehs Laws - the very Laws (as we have seen) that will bring peace, joy and eternal life to all who abide by them. The truth about this lying propaganda comes as a complete surprise to the Christian believers who will not study for themselves. To them, everything in the Scriptures is a surprise. Its just like the teaching of their preachers, that Yahshua (Whom they call Jesus) and the twelve disciples did away with the Laws of Yahweh in the New Testament teachings. We, should be above accepting as facts the words of lying propaganda, without checking these teachings out for ourselves, with what the Scriptures themselves truly state. One of the most cherished ideas of the pagans, absorbed by the Christians, was that of the trinity of Gods. The savior whom the entire Christian world worships at this time is nothing more than the continuation of the pagan trinity. The fact that this doctrine did not officially become formulated until centuries after Yahshuas death, attests to the fact that this doctrine does not come from Yahwehs Laws and prophets. The New Bible Dictionary, 2nd edition by J.D. Douglas, page 1221, admits that the doctrine of the trinity does not come from the Scriptures, but from philosophy influenced by paganism. TRINITY. The word Trinity is not found in the Bible, and though used by Tertullian in the last decade of the 2nd century, it did not find a place formally in the theology of the church till the 4th century. It is, however, the distinctive and all-comprehensive doctrine of the Christian faith. It makes three affirmations: that there is but one God, that the Father, the Son, and the Spirit is each God, and that the Father, the Son, and the Spirit is each a distinct Person. In this form it has become the faith of the church since it received its first full formulation at the hands of Tertullian Athanasius and Augustine. The Encyclopedia Britannica, Micropedia Volume 11, page 928, gives us the following facts about the trinity. TRINITY, in Christian doctrine, the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead. Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord (Deuteronomy 6:4). The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. The Abingdon Dictionary of Living Religions, page 767, tells us: TRINITY (Ch). The Dogma, formulated authoritatively in fourth century church Councils, that Christians worship one God in three persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) and one substance. Under pressure to explain to a hostile Roman world how Christians counted themselves monotheists, Christian apologists (notably Justin Martyr, d. 165) combined Johannine and Stoic-Platonic understanding of the term Logos (Reason, or Word) in order to maintain that the Son was both Gods own self-expression and a being distinct from him. We see that the term logos was defined by the Christians according to the interpretations of pagan influenced philosophers in order to promote a false pagan God-savior in the Encyclopedia Britannica, Volume 7, page 449. LOGOS (Greek:word,reason, or plan), plural logoi, in Greek philosophy and theology, the divine reason implicit in the cosmos, ordering it and giving it form and meaning. Though the concept defined by the term logos is found in Greek, Indian, Egyptian, and Persian philosophical and theological systems, it became particularly significant in Christian writings and doctrines to describe or define the role of Jesus Christ as the principle of God active in the creation and the continuation structuring of the cosmos and in revealing the divine plan of salvation to man. It thus underlies the basic Christian doctrine of the pre-existence of Jesus. The identification of Jesus with the logos was further developed in the early church but more on the basis of Greek philosophical ideas than on Old Testament motifs. he New Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 7, pages 970-971, tells us of the name Jesus: JESUS (THE NAME). In English the name Jesus is a transliteration of the Latin form Iesus, which represents the Greek form of the Hebrew name ye-šûa`. The latter is a late form, by vowel dissimilation, of the name yôšûa`, itself a contracted form of yhôšûa`, Yahweh is salvation. This was the name of Moses successor. *Josue (Joshua), son of Nun. Both because of the fame of this early hero of Israel and because of the meaning of the name, many men both in the OT and in the NT bore the name of Josue or Jesus. The Septuigint generally uses the Greek form where the Hebrew text has the form yôšûa` or yhôšûa`. So also the NT, in referring to Josue, son of Nun, calls him Jesus (Acts 7:45; Heb 4:8). An allusion is made in Mt. 1:21 to the meaning of the name (Yahweh is salvation): Joseph is told by the angel of the Lord to name the child born of Marys virginal conception Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins. The Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, by Kittel and Bromley, Volume 3, page 289, tells us: The Dictionary of New Testament Theology, Volume 2, pages 330-331, gives us more information about this widely accepted, yet incorrect name. OT Ie-sous is the Gk. form of the OT Jewish name Ye-šûa`, arrived at by transcribing the Heb. and adding an -s to the nom. to facilitate declension. Ye-šûa` (Joshua) seems to have come into general use about the time of the Babylonian exile in place of the older Yehôsûa . The LXX rendered both the ancient and more recent forms of the name uniformly as Ie-sous... It is the oldest name containing the devine name Yahweh, and means Yahweh is help or Yahweh is salvation (cf. the vb. yasa`, help, save). Joshua also appears in one post-exilic passage in the Heb. ot (Neh. 8:17) as Ye-šûa` the son of Nun, and not as in the older texts Yehôšoa. The Encyclopedia Dictionary of the Bible, by Louis Hartman, pages 1141-1142, shows us this: Jesus. This name in english is a transcription of the Latin Jesus, which represents the Greek form, of the Hebrew name, yeša` (à Jesua), itself a late form, by vowel dissimilation, of yoša` (Jesua), a contracted form of yehosa` , Yahweh is salvation. The form Yeshua or Jesus was a deliberate change from the original Name Yahshua, as the same pages of this same source shows: Jesua. In the last few centuries before Christ the personal name, yosa was pronounced and written as yeša. The Harper Bible Dictionary, by Paul Achtemeier, page 474, shows us that the form Yeshua or Jesus is not even a Hebrew name. Jeshua (jesh´oo-uh; Heb., Yahweh is salvation), the Aramaic form of Joshua. Rather than this name being correctly written and spoken YAHSHUA (containing Yahwehs powerful Name), its new form was Yeshua, meaning He will save. Not only was Yahwehs Name removed from the correct Name, Yahshua written in its new form, Yeshua, but Yahwehs power was removed from it as well. This new name (Yeshua) was being used as the replacement for Yahshuas true Name, by the time the Septuagint (LXX) was beginning to be translated. The Greek word written in this version to replace the name that had replaced Yahshuas Name, is - a direct transliteration of the Hebrew word Yeshua. The next version of the Bible, after the Greek Septuagint (LXX), was the Vulgate—attributed to Jerome. In the year 383 C.E., Jerome began to work on this Latin Version. He undertook the revision of the Old Testament directly from the Septuagint Version. In the Septuagint, the Name of Yahweh was replaced with the Greek word, Kyrios - Lord. In the Latin Vulgate, Jerome directly translated the Greek word Kyrios - Lord to the Latin word for Lord - Dominus. In the Latin Vulgate, Jerome transliterated the Greek word to the Latin, Iesus. Ungers Bible Dictionary, page 1113, tells us of the earliest, early Versions of the translated English Bibles. TRANSLATIONS, ENGLISH BIBLE. 1. Early Versions. There were portions of the Bible, and possibly the entire work, rendered into the English vernacular very early in the history of the language. These, however, were all made from the Latin, and not from the original Hebrew. The early Versions directly translated the Latin word Dominus to the modern English word we all know today as Lord, which is still causing the world to forget Yahwehs Name for Baal (Yeremyah 23:27). In early versions, the Greek word Ie-sous was shortened to the Latin Iesus. It was not until the year 1064 C.E. that the popular name Jesus, was placed in the Scriptures. There was not even a J sound in the English language until that century. We must remember also, the fact that there is no J in the Hebrew language. Even the modern English J was not in use until the sixteenth century of our own Common Era. Colliers Encyclopedia, copyright 1957, page 289, gives us these facts: J the tenth letter of the English alphabet, has no ancient ancestor, unless, as a recent variant of I and i ...Not until the sixteenth century was any systematic effort made to differentiate vocalic i with the sign i and consonantal i with the sign J J the capital, was introduced at that time... The name Jesus is not even a transliteration. It is a corruption of a transliteration of a Hebrew word which had the mighty and powerful Name of Yahweh removed from its original meaning. The Theological Dictionary Of The New Testament, Kittel and Bromiley, Volume 3, page 284, tells us that the name Jesus (Iesous) is a Greek form of the Hebrew proper Name Yahshua (). Keep in mind, however, that this name Jesus carries none of the meaning of the original Hebrew Name Yahshua, which means Yahweh is salvation. yahweh/The-Name-Of-Yahshua.html
