[i] The word "church" has been edited out of this article because, "The modern word "church" is a developed and borrowed word of an ancient pagan ritual amongst the Celts and Druids called "kirch" or "circe!" Church was a circle of pagan observance in honor of Circe the daughter of the Sun-Deity Heliose." Come Out Of Her My People by C.J. Koster p.34-35; also http://www.yourarmstoisrael.org.
[ii] There are no references to the Babylonian deity G-o-d in this article, and here is why:
I encourage you to do some research on this issue. Check out Strong's Hebrew 1408, 1409, and 1410. Pay attention to the pronunciation aids there. Baalgad, Hebrew Strong's #1171 (Str.) Ba`al Gad {bah'-al gawd} from 01168 (Ba`al {bah'-al}; supreme male divinity of the Phoenicians or Canaanites) and 01409 (gad {gawd};fortune, good fortune) Baal-gad = "lord of fortune" was a city noted for Baal-worship, located at the most northern or northwestern point to which Joshua's victories extended. Joshua captured all their kings and slew them. Joshua 11:17. Also, read Isaiah 65:11 and down and see what happens to the people that spread a table to g-a-w-d. Do you really want to take a chance that you will be included in the people that judgment falls upon? Read Exodus 23:13 (do not mention the name of other gods). Also, look in Vine's Expository Dictionary under G-o-d, it says, "In the polytheism of the Greeks, denoted a god or deity....Hence the word was appropriated by Jews and retained by Christians to denote the one true God." Compare and contrast that with Ephesians 4:17 (Amplified), "that you must no longer live as the heathen (the Gentiles) do...." or, The 5th Book of the Law 12:30, "Be watchful that you are not ensnared into following them after they have been destroyed before you and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? We will do likewise." And most recently, I've seen this in Psalm 91:14 (my own amplified version), "Because I am attached to, take pleasure in, join together with, adhere to, cleave to, and am devoted to you, therefore will You deliver me; You set me on high, because I perceive, understand, acquire knowledge about, know, am acquainted with in an intimate way, have knowledge gained through my senses and know You on a personal level and understand Your name." Calling the Father by a pagan name is an indication that you are not acquainted with Him in an intimate way; you don't know Jahuwah as well as you think you do. Understanding Jahuwah's name is a key to receiving deliverance. A friend of mine followed G-o-d back to its root word using Strong's and arrived at emptiness and vanity. Another friend says his research on G-o-d showed that the term was equivalent to B-a-a-l. I did my own study following G-o-d back through Strong's and ended up at "to cut." The 450 priests of Baal during Elijah's time cut themselves. Ezekiel had something to say about this in chapter 39:
7 And I will make My set-apart name known in the midst of My people Yisra'el (the practitioners of righteousness), and I will not let them profane My set-apart name any more; and the nations shall know, understand, and realize that I am Jahuwah, the Set-Apart One of Yisra'el.
"Profane" in this scripture is the Hebrew word chalal {khaw-lal'} (Strong's H# 2490) meaning in totality the following:
to profane: Marked by willful disobedience of authority
The 5th Book of the Law 12:3 says in pertinent part, "....destroy their name out of that place." We are not supposed to adopt a pagan god's name and apply it to our Mighty One! To do so is to "profane" it and to be in willful disobedience to the authority of this scripture.
Profane, cont'd: or lack of due respect for what is dedicated or devoted exclusively to a single use, purpose, or person.
The Name Jahuwah (Yah-oo-a) is devoted exclusively to Jahuwah Himself and to cover it over and conceal His Name under an adopted pagan name is to not give His Name the respect due it. In Exodus 3:15 Jahuwah says, "....This shall you say to the Yisra'elites: Jahuwah, the Mighty One of your fathers, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has sent me to you! This is My name forever, and by this name I am to be remembered to all generations." Jahuwah has seen to it that HIS Name is not used by anyone else.
Profane, cont'd: Not admitted into a body of secret knowledge or ritual; uninitiated.
In John 17:6 Jahshuwah says, "I have manifested Your Name to the people whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have obeyed and kept Your word." In John 17:26 He says, "I have made Your Name known to them...." And in Hebrews 2:12, "For He says, I will declare Your [the Father's] name to My brethren;...." What can be derived from these scriptures when taken to together is that if you are one of the people that has been given Him out of the world; if you have obeyed and kept Jahuwah's Word; if you are one of His brethren; then, Jahshuwah will manifest, make known and declare Jahuwah's Name to you even today, because Hebrews 13:8 says, "Jahshuwah the Anointed One is the same, yesterday, today, and forever." If you continue to call the Father by pagan names and have little or no interest in disciplining yourself to break your habit then you are one of the uninitiated ones not admitted into the body of secret knowledge respecting what the Father's Name is.
Profane, cont'd: to break or disregard a law respecting the properties, character or qualities considered sacred in the Creator's Name
"Character" is defined as, "The combination of qualities or features that distinguishes [Jahuwah] from another. A distinguishing feature or attribute....Moral or ethical strength. A description of [Jahuwah]'s attributes, traits, or abilities....Public estimation of someone; reputation: Status or role; capacity: in his character as the Father. A notable or well-known person; a personage....A mark or symbol used in a writing system....One of a set of symbols, such as letters or numbers, that are arranged to express information....Dedicated to the portrayal of [Jahuwah] with regard to distinguishing psychological or physical features....
We could go on and on about this one. Each of the Hebrew letters that comprises the Father's name has a meaning. Each of the combinations of letters has a meaning. In fact, the results of King David's meditation on the Hebrew alphabet are set out in Psalm 119. Each Hebrew letter has both a number and a musical note assigned to it. Inside the sound of the Name itself, if you listen, you can hear the wind which everyone who is born of the Spirit is like. See John 3:8. In each of the syllables of His Name there is a meaning: 1) Jah=the One who is; 2) oo=the One who was; 3) a=the One who is to come. If we think upon His Name, it will tell us a lot about His character. In the wilderness, Jahuwah described himself to Moshè as "I am" which was translated from the Hebrew sound of Hayah; or, the self-existent One; the One who can become whatever we need Him to be. See Exodus 3:14. When we obliterate all of this meaning by blotting out His Name and replacing it with a pagan name like G-o-d we have done what Jahuwah has said in Ezekiel 39:7 He will no longer allow us to do; we have profaned His Name.
A word used to help in defining the word profane is "defile;" defined as: To make filthy or dirty; pollute: defile a river with sewage. To debase the pureness or excellence of; corrupt: To profane or sully a reputation. To make unclean or unfit for ceremonial use; to violate the chastity of. Jahuwah's name is excellent. The One like no other has chosen it for Himself to reveal His characteristics to those who seek to know Him. We violate His Commandments when we change it in anyway or substitute pagan names for His Name.
Another word used to help in defining the word profane is "pollute;" defined as: To make unfit for or harmful to living things, especially by the addition of waste matter. To make less suitable for an activity, especially by the introduction of unwanted factors: To render impure or morally harmful; corrupt. To make unfit for or harmful to living things, especially by the addition of waste matter; contaminate. To make less suitable for an activity, especially by the introduction of unwanted factors. Impure.
Still another word used to help in defining the word profane is "desecrate;" defined as: To violate the sacredness of; profane. violate the sacred character of Jahuwah's Name.
A phrase to help in defining the word profane is "to make common;" defined as: Belonging equally to or shared equally by two or more; joint: common interests. Of or relating to the community as a whole; Widespread; prevalent. Occurring frequently or habitually; usual. Most widely known; ordinary. Having no special designation, status, or rank. Not distinguished by superior or noteworthy characteristics; average. Of no special quality; standard: common procedure. Of mediocre or inferior quality; second-rate. Unrefined or coarse in manner; vulgar. In Exodus 20:7 Jahuwah commands us, "You shall not use or repeat (take) the name of Jahuwah your Mighty Creator in vain..." "Take" is Strong's H# 05375 the Hebrew word nasa' {naw-saw'} with the meaning of to lift, bear up, or carry. The word "vain" is Strong's H# 7723 the Hebrew word shav' {shawv} and means:
emptiness: Holding or containing nothing. Lacking force or power: Lacking purpose or substance; meaningless. Not put to use; idle. Devoid; destitute. Mathematics. Having no elements or members; null: an empty set.
vanity: Not yielding the desired outcome; fruitless; without success
falsehood: Lack of conformity to truth
nothingness: the state of nonexistence
worthlessness: having no qualities that would render it valuable or useful
My friends research that followed G-o-d back to its root word using Strong's Exhaustive Concordance that arrived at emptiness and vanity fills this bill perfectly! Now you know that if you call the Father G-o-d you are breaking this Commandment; what are you going to do about it?!
Still another word used to help in defining the word profane is "dishonour;" defined as: to treat with indignity-degrading-To impair in physical structure or function; deteriorate; to reduce the complexity of by splitting off one or more groups or larger components ; to debauch: To reduce the value, quality, or excellence of; debase. See Synonyms at corrupt. Archaic. To cause to forsake allegiance. To indulge in dissipation-breaking up and scattering by dispersion. Those who use a hyphenated version of Jahuwah's Name need to read this. There is a larger group of people that have dishonored Jahuwah's Son's Name by calling Him J-e-s-u-s.
We need to follow the example of Abraham as set forth in The Book of Jasher 22:47-50 found at http://www.ccel.org/a/anonymous/jasher/22.htm:
And Jahuwah said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? and Satan answered Jahuwah and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
And Jahuwah said to Satan, What is thy word to me concerning all the children of the earth? and Satan answered Jahuwah and said, I have seen all the children of the earth who serve thee and remember thee when they require anything from thee.
And when thou givest them the thing which they require from thee, they sit at their ease, and forsake thee and they remember thee no more.
Hast thou seen Abraham the son of Terah, who at first had no children, and he served thee and erected altars to thee wherever he came, and he brought up offerings upon them, and he proclaimed thy name continually to all the children of the earth.
Remember, Jahshuwah said in John 8:39, "If you were truly Abraham's children, then you would do the works of Abraham follow his Example and do as Abraham did."
Let us not put the Father in the position of forcing us to not profane His Name; instead, let us choose to do what pleases Him and put Him in a position of having to reward us for having done of our own accord what pleases Him.
[iii] There are no references to the pagan name J-e-s-u-s in my article because:
Recently I've learned this; by using that pagan name you have blotted out the Son's name. Each of the letters of His name are there for a purpose and mean something to the point that you can make a sentence by combining each of the meanings of the individual Hebrew letters out of His Name. I have also recently learned that by leaving out the "sh" sound in Jahshuwah's name you have left out the destroy portion of His calling. See Mat. 1:21, "You shall call His Name Jahshuwah because he shall save His people from their sins." The calling is in the name. See Isaiah 45:3. You have left out the destroy portion of His calling because the Hebrew letter Shin {sheen} means destroy. See 1 John 3:8, "....The reason the Son of Jahuwah was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done]." By leaving out the "sh" sound in His name you have also left out the bow, because the Hebrew letter Shin also means bow (as in bow and arrow), that we are to be shot out of. See Isaiah 49:2, "He has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of His hand has He hid me and made me a polished arrow; in His quiver has He kept me close and concealed me." And also Mat. 28, "18 And Jahshuwah came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore...." By leaving the "a" sound off Jahshuwah's Name you have left out the sound that comes from the Hebrew letter Ayin. My current understanding is that the Hebrew letter ayin has the meaning of light that has the ability to turn that upon which it shines into light. By leaving off the "a" sound, YOU HAVE LEFT OUT THE LIGHT! OUCH!! That is why the approved ones in Malachi 3:16 "thought upon His Name;" proving that there is something about Jahshuwah's name to think about. By taking out letters and sounds from His name you not only fail to include yourself among the approved ones of Malachi 3 but, you have also taken away from the Word contrary to two scriptures in Deuteronomy and one in Revelation. In the parables in the Glad Tidings sowing always has to do with the putting forth of the Word which gives new meaning to the scripture that says, "Be not deceived, Jahuwah is not mocked for whatsoever a man sows that also shall he reap." By using blotted out, erased names in your daily walk you have sown tares and worked on the side of evil. Hence, without some hasty repentance this portion of Matthew 7 may come to have a new meaning in your life:
21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name? [j-e-s-u-s is not his name, but is a name you have chosen for Him.]
23 And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I ever knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].
James 4:8 says, "Draw nigh to Jahuwah, and he will draw nigh to you." It is our duty to first draw nigh unto Him. If you become intimate with Him he reveals His Name. See John 17:6, "I have manifested Your Name [I have revealed Your very Self, Your real Self] to the people whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have obeyed and kept Your word." The bankers always want to know your mother's maiden name. Why; because only people who are very intimate with her know that. Jahshuwah is only revealing the Father's Name to those who are intimate with Him and He came in the Father's name. You've read, "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks?" When you use those pagan names you reveal a bunch about yourself. The Father showed me that every time you use the pagan names you are breaking four of His Commandments and laws; no wonder Jahshuwah tells the people in Mat. 7:23 that they were "lawless," "worked on the side of evil", and in another version that they were "workers of iniquity." No wonder you don't know their Names. It is only the ones that obey and keep His Word that get the name revealed.
[iv] The word Bible has been edited out of this article because "Bible/Biblical" is a heathen word having its origins in sun worship. I know about this from the book by C.J. Koster, Come Out of Her My People. I found part of what I know about this on the web at
www.innvista.com:
Bible
Usually called "The Scriptures," which is considered to be composed of individual
"books" or "scrolls" and collectively given the name "Bible."
The word "Bible" was first introduced about 400 AD (Richardson).
In ancient times, the term was used to mean any "written document." Originally, all documents were written on papyrus. The Egyptian papyrus reed was imported through the Phoenician port of Gebal, which the Greeks called Byblos, or Byblus, (the home town of Philo). Egypt did a lively trade with Byblos, and, eventually, the inevitable happened. There was an exchange of "myths" between them. Egypt later gave one of their cities the name of Byblos.
Byblis/Byblos/Byblus was the goddess adopted by the area. She was reportedly the granddaughter of Apollo and was associated with Venus, who was also known as Aphrodite and various other names, depending on the culture who adopted her as their goddess -- a sun-goddess of sensuality.
From Koster's book I found this quote, "....the city Byblis, in Egypt, was named after the female deity BYBLIS, also called BYBLE, also called BIBLIS. This female deity was the grand-daughter of Apollo, the well-known Greek sun-deity! And then we shockingly discovered that Byblia was "a name of Venus....this very book, the Scriptures, which we so dearly love and cherish, has been given a name derived from the female deity who was the grand-daughter of the Sun-deity, Apollo."
