Answering Sacred Namers
Two Points and Logic
TWO POINTS AND LOGIC POINT ONE The sacred namers seem to want to choose ONE of the Eternal's names above all others. Yes it may be used more than the others, but when God Himself does not always use just ONE name to call Himself, it seems odd to me that "scared namers" pretty well insist on using just ONE name. It has been shown in the last studies on this subject that YHVH should be JHVH and "Yahveh" or other spellings of it IS NOT the correct truth on those Hebrew letters anyway, as it should be JHVH, and Jahovah or some other spelling of it is the correct form for those four Hebrew letters. Now turn to Exodus chapter 3. The Eternal is going to use Moses to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt. Moses is at the famous "burning of the bush" scene in his life. You can read verses 10-14. Moses says to the Almighty that the Israelites will ask WHO has sent him. They will ask "What is His NAME?" The Supreme One tells Moses to say to them, "I AM THAT I AM" has sent Moses to them. It is "I AM" that has sent Moses. The Eternal One uses the NAME "I AM" - I submit to you that this is a pretty darn important part of history we are here reading. It would be one of the greatest periods of MIRACLES from the Almighty ever recorded in the Bible. And we see that this Almghty Supreme One chooses to use the name "I AM." Why is it then that sacred namers NEVER seem to use this name? Do you ever hear them saying things like: "I prayed to I AM this morning that He would..." Or, "I was reading the Bible today and I AM showed me this verse...." Or "You say you need help on this, so I will ask I AM to remember you and ..." Or "I had such a great blessing today from I AM, which I'd like to tell you about..." And on and on we could go with other examples. But I've never encountered sacred namers using the Eternal's name "I AM" to address Him with that important name of His. I mean we are told that I AM talked face to face with Moses, that the I AM showed Moses His glorified back-parts. If you would think there was one man in history that God would have declared His kinda ONLY ONE name, you would think it would have been Moses, well I think it would have been. But Moses was given "I AM" as the name for the Almighty One. POINT TWO Turn to Exodus 6 and read verses 1-3. Now, that is pretty plain I would say. Three important men, Abraham, Issac and Jacob, lived and walked with the Eternal One, had mighty amd wonderful contact with the Almighty One, in often very personal ways, YET NOT ONE OF THOSE THREE MEN KNEW GOD BY THE LETTERS JHVH - JEHOVAH! MARK THIS VERSE IN YOUR BIBLE- COLOR IT YELLOW!! Do you clearly see what it clearly tells you?? Even a child can understand these verses here in Exodus 6. And I submit to you that if someone like Abraham, who is called the "father of the faithful" NEVER KNEW God under the name of JHVH - Jehovah (or whatever the sacred namers want to put for those 4 Hebrew letters) then probably no other human person from the time of Adam EVER KNEW GOD UNDER THOSE 4 HEBREW LETTERS!! Now are you letting the light go on in your brain? Do you understand what this means? It means: YOU HAD GENERATIONS OF GOD'S CHILDREN FROM ADAM, who served the Living Eternal One, who will be IN THE RESURRECTION at the coming of the Messiah in power and glory, who NEVER KNEW THE NAME OF GOD THAT IS MADE UP OF 4 HEBREW LETTERS - JHVH - and pronounced as JEHOVAH!! NOW THAT ALONE SHOULD TELL YOU GOD DOES ***NOT*** HAVE A SACRED NAME THAT YOU ***MUST*** CALL HIM BY!!! But I do need to explain something. Those in the days of the three fathers (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob), MAY have heard the JHVH, for we notice this about Jacob and his dream at Beth-El. He hears God saying, "I am Jehovah, the Elohim of Abraham thy father, and the Elohim of Isaac...." So we see that at least Jacob heard the JHVH name. We are not told if anyone else ever heard God speaking with the name JHVH - Jehovah, before Moses. The name JHVH was of course used in the books of Moses, but you have to remember it was Moses who was inspired to write those books, hence was sometimes inspired to use JHVH at times in saying God did this or that. Moses was writing in the present time of his life and under inspiration. But none of this contradicts the verses of Exodus 6:1-3. Exodus 6:1-3 means that the Eternal before the time of Moses, did not require that His children have a personal relationship with Him through the special letters of JHVH. It was not some huge important doctrine that God required from His children before the time of Moses, to know Him by ONE special name of JHVH as the sacred namers would like you to believe it is today. The Eternal One is no RESPECTOR of persons! He has only ONE WAY of salvation for all peoples who have ever lived. And that one way does NOT include some "sacred name" that you must use towards Him. And ALL who will be in the Kingdom of God will be there because they will have been saved by GRACE through FAITH in the Son of God as Savior from sin. Those before the cross looked TOWARDS the cross, those after the cross look BACK to the cross of Christ - all in FAITH, and all under GRACE because they lived in a REPENTANT mind-set, and were willing to live by every word of God as Jesus taught we should (Mat.4:4). And NONE of that Salvation has anything to do with addressing the Eternal One by some so-called sacred name. LOGIC Time now to use some common logic, but it seems many today have little of it when it comes to understanding the Father and His Son. It was God who at the tower of Baal brought into being all the different languages we have today in the world, well it got started there, as we are told in the book of Genesis. Now is it too hard for the Eternal to understand all the languages of the world today? It is written that NOTHING IS TOO HARD for God! If you are watching DVDs on the universe, your mind will be blown away at this part of the mind of God. The size and all that is in the universe is truly .... just out of reach to fully comprehend the creators mind and power to create the universe and all that it contains. So I doubt it is too hard for the Almighty to be able to understand all human languages. Language is a human tool that is all. Each society with its individual language has a tool to be able to communicate among themselves. And over time with some societies interlocking in ways with other societies, words from one society come over into the other society. And more important each society sets its rule with the sound of what we call "words" to establish to the mind what we want that mind to think about when those words are used. Hence different language societies have a word or sets of words that produce a vocal sound, for the direction of the mind as they want to think about the One who is the creator of the universe. An example is the Indian people of North America. A lot, if not all of the Indian tribes, used to say, "The Spirit in the sky" or similar phrases when they wanted your mind or the societies mind to think about the mighty Creator of the universe. So they had a phase - a few words - in their particular language of their tribe or tribes. But that phrase or sound of vocal words .... everyone in their society knew what the mind was to think and be directed towards - the One Supreme Being in heaven who created and rules all we can see. Would it have been possible for someone in that Indian society to curse or profane the name of that Creator? Sure it would if the phrase to address that Creator was with the heart and mind using the phrase or word, in a manner that was to the Eternal a curse or profanity. For it is also written God looks on the heart, not only or even more so than the outward part of a person. So the bottom line is that it makes NO DIFFERENCE what vocal sound in the form of a word or phrase is employed by a society, to inform that society you are now meaning the One in the heavens who is Creator of all things, is now having the mind be told that it is this Creator One Tthat is being spoken about. Put it all in simple language. If a society wants to form a sound and hence a word that says we will call the Creator by the word "God" or "El" or "Alah" or "Master" or "Father" or "Eternal One" or "The Great Spirit" or "Supreme One" or "Almighty One" or "Kambamuma" (made it up) or "Zalumby" (made that one up also) or etc. and etc. then the mind in that society is to understand the one speaking is directing the hearers of that society towards the Creator in the heavens. And the society may also decide that within a "context" that same word could mean a lesser than the Creator in the heavens. Example the word "father" - within a context "father" could be used as a name or word for the Father over everything there is - the heavenly Father, or it could within a context be meaning the mind is to think about our direct human father who begat us on earth. The CONTEXT tells you how you are to direct your mind-set: towards our physical father or towards the heavenly Father of all there is. And so it is with words like "Lord" or "Master" or "God" - the context tells you how to direct your mind. Now in the English speaking world we have even decided how it will be in writing, if we use a capital "G" and so God, we all know the writer is wanting us to mind-set on the Creator in Heaven, if we use a small "g" then we know it stands for something else than the Creator in heaven. And hence in God's mind He KNOWS what the heart and mind by the sounds that make up vocal words in that society, are meaning. He can see the heart and mind and if it is directed towards Him, either in a good way or bad way. Let me be very straight up with all this. When people in my English society blurt out "God dam it" or "Jesus Christ" when they are upset and angry, when they are always using the word "God" or "Christ" in their sentances, I KNOW when it is either being used correctly in that situation they are talking in, or when it is NOT being used righteously or proper. I KNOW WHEN IT IS PROFANITY and WHEN THEY ARE TAKING GOD'S NAME IN VAIN!!! ***AND SO DOES THE GOD IN HEAVEN*** KNOW WHEN THEY ARE PROFANING HIM, THUMBING THEIR NOSE AT HIM!!! OR WHEN THEY ARE CORRECTLY LOOKING FOR HIM IN THEIR MIND-SET!!! SACRED NAMERS TEACHING THAT THERE IS TO BE ONE HEBREW NAME TO BE USED TOWARDS THE MOST HIGH IS A DECEPTION OF THE DEVIL. YOU NEED NOT FEAR THEM, THEY ARE THEOLOGICALLY WRONG IN EVERY DIRECTION OF THEIR TEACHING!!! FOR ANOTHER SHOCKER FOR MOST PEOPLE, YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE GREAT APOSTLE PAUL USED THE OLD TESTAMENT, AND THAT EYE OPENER IS IN THE STUDY "HOW PAUL USED THE OLD TESTAMENT" on this website.
