Introduction:
This has got to be one of the most heated and controversial discussions ever brought forth. We as people hate change and nor after growing up in the same churches from youth are we willing to except anything that seems different. Everyone has leaned on and trusted the traditional Bible so long that they are afraid to believe any other writings than that which have been given within the traditional Bible. This has brought a lot of error and a halt to the growth of the churches. I as a believer started my search and studies from thirteen years of age and on until now at the age of thirty-six. The year to this date is 2002. My search was started when at the age of twelve the summer before I turned thirteen I had lost a good friend who was killed while riding his bike down a street. This pushed me into a very serious search for this God who I knew I would see some day. I figured that if my friend died whom I was so close to then I knew it could happen to me, and I did not want to take any chance in meeting God without being right with him. My grandmother when I was young was the one who inspired me to seek God somewhat. She had prayed with me all the time and took me to church with her to Bible school when I was real little. I figure she is the reason there was some type of faith installed in me when I was young. My parents had no interest in church at all. I had started taking myself to church with no help from them at the age of thirteen. Well, I had raised myself up in the Church of Christ up until I was 21 years of age, which was a big turning point for me. I had so many questions when I was in the Church of Christ. When I asked questions no one had biblical answers for me, only empty philosophy. The most important question that had brought me to a greater light was the question about the Holy Spirit. Of course if you know anything about the Churches of Christ they never speak on the subject unless it is to prove the idea that miracles are no longer happening as the days of old. Well, I was about to find out different in the first year at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas. I had enrolled in college there and finished out the year, and do to finances I had to leave. During my stay there I met this group of people within the school who would always talk about the Holy Spirit and miracles, and of course me not believing these things still happening I kind of dodged these people like the plague. But, for some reason these Bible thumpers would not leave me alone for one moment it seemed like. Then finally one day I had reached the bottom of the line where I had to look up and finally reach out to God with all my heart for his help. The pain I was suffering from loneliness, and hurt through the years of parent’s divorce, friend’s death, and my mother leaving us children, and the last thing that brought me to this low time in my life was my good girl friend turning against me. I ran into one of these Bible thumpers at this time in my life. I knew how he had always shown me and tried to teach me that this Holy Spirit could save me from the pain of my soul. And when I saw him walk past me in the moment of hurt with tears in my eyes from all the pain being brought up to me all at once from the years past, I grabbed his arm and asked him if he could pray for me. He walked with me to a quiet place there at the school and he prayed for me with great faith. I had never heard anything like it. I can remember that day as if it was yesterday and with tears my heart still gives thanks to this man. After this prayer never had I tasted such peace and power in all my life. I had received the Holy Spirit for the first time. I never knew how real my God was until that day. All my pain and sorrows my Savior took from me. Which shows me to this day that God meets a person where they are at even if they know nothing. He does not ask us to know everything before he touches us, but he does ask us to continue to grow in His truth. The love I found in my heart lead me to minister to so many people. I changed many of people’s lives just as that young man had changed mine with a simple prayer of faith. I never knew what the future would hold, but now I see all the things that God has lead me to understand through the years. I am now going to share one of the many things that I have learned through many hours of study and research that the Holy Spirit has lead me to. I hope whoever is reading this finds the truth they are looking for within this pamphlet. There are a lot of unanswered questions yet to be revealed, but just as written: “Ask and you shall find. Knock and the door shall be opened.” May the God of truth forever bless all who search for him in righteousness.
In
the name of the great King Immanuel,

Abbreviations of our Messiah’s Name Found
in the Early Greek
When translating from the originals to the Greek, the early translators
lacked clarity when dealing with the name of the Messiah. Now look at this clipping Ancient
Codex Abbreviation. Here the
clipping from one of the Codex’s show how the name was abbreviated with
over-lined letters. There is a
slash above the letters that look something like this: IN or IC with a line
across the top of the abbreviations. See picture again at Ancient Codex
Abbreviation.
Now going with the point mentioned in previous pages it will be proven according to various trustworthy books that the translators have made serious mistakes by taking our Messiah’s name and our Heavenly Father’s name out of the scriptures and replacing them with titles. I will give you an idea what I mean by titles. Titles are such as these: God, Lord, Ruler, Master, Savior, Counselor, but are never used as personal names. Go to KJV Bible Dictionary and see the dictionary clipping taken out of the King James Bible. This shows clearly how the name of our God was taken out of the scriptures and titles were put in its place. This is the first step to proving the point made above how our Messiah’s name and our God’s name were both taken out of the scriptures. The clipping on KJV Bible Dictionary is enough evidence for the Heavenly Father’s name, but as for the Messiah’s name it is a little bit more difficult, but can be done. Follow closely with the next proofs. Look at Ancient Greek Codex for the example of an original Codex. This page is from the Codex Sinaiticus Luke 19:13-48. Look at the underlined words. These abbreviations are the places the Messiah’s name was suppose to have been placed.

Now lets see how the Greek translations proves that JESUS derived from
the Hebrew word Yasha and not Yahshua. The
truer form of the name Joshua in Hebrew would have been Yehowshuwa.
The Greek word that was used for Jesus in the newer Greek translations is
Iesous. The first letter has always
been translated as a ‘J’ in English and a ‘Y’ in Hebrew.
There was no such a thing as vowel points in the original Hebrew so the
next letter used would been the ‘S’ which in Hebrew is a ‘SH’ or that is
a ‘Shiyn’. So now you have the
‘Yod’ and the ‘Shiyn’ which are the two Hebrew letters in the title
‘Yasha’ which means savior or deliverer.
Look at the following chart on Greek Alphabet
provided and one can see how even the name Iesous when translated back into
Hebrew only leaves the ‘Yod’ and the ‘Shiyn’. Now if it would have been the name Joshua or that is Yahshua
there would have been a ‘Heth’ added in the name or that is an ‘H’.
To get a better idea of how the Greek is translated to Hebrew or visa
versa look at the table on Greek Alphabet again.
(Note:
When looking at the chart below on Greek Alphabet
keep in mind what was previously shown about the abbreviations in Greek for the
messiah being “IC”. Look up
these two letters on the left in the Greek and follow over to the right to the
Hebrew. In this chart it shows you
the English pronunciation as well to help guide those who do not understand much
Hebrew or Greek.)
The clipping on Iasius in Mythology Dictionary
below is from a mythological dictionary showing the relevance of the previous
statements. Look where it shows in
brackets ( ) that the name Jesus means savior.
Also notice where they give different variations of the name and one can
see all that has been mentioned in this pamphlet is not just something made up
or construed. This among many other books proves over and over the facts
being presented in this pamphlet. These
are just simple mistakes that have been made through the years of retranslating
and the incapability of the translators to be honest in bringing forth the truth
rather than error because of the fear of the leaders over them in their time of
translation. Take into account that
the translators hundreds of years ago could have been put to death at the drop
of a pen if not done as told.
Here
is the break down of the name Jesus:
1)
Jesus
2)
Yeshus
3)
Yeshu
4)
Yasha or Yesha

Note: The abbreviations
that were over-lined by the translators are underlined.
First keep in mind the statement that is being made here: “The name of
the Messiah is not JESUS, Yahshua, Yeshua, or any other name but Immanuel.”
Why is this the case? Because
Isa. 7:14 says that his name would be
called Immanuel. And according to Isa.
8:20: “If they speak not according
to the law and the testimony (this word in Hebrew means the attestation of
the prophets according to Strong’s Concordance) there is no light in them.” It
is written in Acts 4:12; “(12)
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given
to men by which we must be saved.” If
what is being said in this study is true then most of the Christians in this
world are trusting in a name that cannot save. Now taking into consideration
that our scriptures are tampered with. Can
we believe that his name is JESUS, YAHSHUA, or any other name but IMMANUEL?
I would think not. But this statement is only based on a few things for now.
So let’s go on. Now look at the clipping below.
This came out of the 1602 copy of the Geneva Bible.
Look at #2 below on Geneva Bible and you will
see that ‘Iesus’ should have been written as ‘Savior’. Therefore ‘Jesus Christ’ simply started out as a title
that simply meant ‘Anointed Savior’. Christ
means ‘anointed’ and ‘Jesus’ simply should have been ‘Savior’.
Neither one of these were ever meant to be a personal name.
This is why most of the Messianic Jews call him ‘Yahshua’.
The Hebrew word ‘Yasha’ is a title or more often used as a word and
the Hebrew word ‘Yahshua’ is a name. This
is an easy mistake, but not if you know the prophecies.
Now lets look at another clipping to back up previous statement.
Look at the clipping Latin
Dictionary.
This next clipping came from a Latin dictionary, which also backs up the
previous point made: “ ‘Jesus Christ’ was a title rather than a name”.
‘Jesus Christ’ was an idiom or that is an ID established for
‘Anointed Savior’. The
clip below shows that ‘Jesus Christ’ was a universal idiom or an ID
established for the Latin words ‘Christus Salvator’ which simply meant
Anointed Savior. So in return the
translators did away with the prophesied name of the Savior in Math.
1:22-23 and Isa. 7:14.
By doing this the truth of our prophesied savior and the power of His
name has been hidden from us for over a thousand years.

New Greek Translations Defiled

Closing Arguments
1)
(Q) Why then in Isa.
9:6 does it say that the Messiah would be called Mighty God?
(A)
This is a simple answer.
The true translation of this scripture should have read, “And he would
be called Wonderful Counselor of the Almighty God the Everlasting Father, and
the Prince of Peace.”
2)
(Q) Why then did the Messiah say he was the I AM in
Mark 14:62?
(A)
This should have been written, “…Truly, truly,
I say to you, Before Abraham receives being, I am to exist.” Look at proofs
below. The clip below shows two
separate words for ‘I AM’.
Look below where it is labeled
1473/1510 in the I am that I am clipping
below. The Strongs #1473 alone
simply means ‘I AM’. But, this
leaves out the Strongs #1510 which means ‘to exist’.
The word that means “to exist” was simply left out.
By the clipping above it is written as if one word meant ‘I’ and the
other ‘AM’. Look at the two
clippings on the next page and see this could have never been.
Here
is Strong #1473:
Here is Strongs #1510:
3) (Q) Then why in Romans 9:5 does it say that Christ is God? Look carefully below at the next clipping to see this error.
(A)
In
the true translation of this scripture never did it ever call Christ God. The
true translation read as such: “Theirs
are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is
God blessed forever.” (This could have also been translated as, “….blessed
by God forever.”) To say such a thing as Christ being God is idolatry. For
it breaks the first commandment, “I am
Yahweh your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You
shall have no other gods before me.” How can we go on in such evil?
As is written; “That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art
the most high over all the earth.” Psalms 83:18 KJV The above translation
is directly from the King James Version of the Bible. Why they put JEHOVAH in
this one place and not in every other place where it was suppose to be one may
never know? Even though the name JEHOVAH is not a true translation of the name
in the first place, it stands for the point being proven that there is only one
God and his name is Yahweh. The translation of the name Jehovah did not come
about until the year of (1270) which was found in Raymond Martin’s Pugeo Fidei.
This pronunciation derived from a German dialect. There was never such a thing
as a ‘J’ in the Hebrew language, and in German the ‘J’ is pronounced as
a ‘Y’. The ‘V’ in the German language is pronounced as a ‘W’. So if
you were going to pronounce the name ‘JEHOVAH’ in the German language it
would look something like this to us ‘Yehowah’. This would be the more
correct way of pronouncing the name of our God. To sum up what was just said.
There is only one God whose name is Yahweh and one Son whose name is Immanuel
according to the prophets. Here is a clipping from the retranslated Codex, which
shows that the above statement is true about Romans
9:5: This is only one scripture out of all the New Testament that says,
“Jesus is God”. Remember the Messiah is the Son of God not God.
Lets break this scripture
down. Look below:
1)
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2) The same was in the beginning with God. 3) All things were made by him; and
without him was not any thing made that was made. 4) In him was life; and the
life was the light of men. 5) And the light shineth in darkness; and the
darkness comprehended it not. 6) There was a man sent from God, whose name was
John. 7) The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men
through him might believe. 8) He was not that Light, but was sent to bear
witness of that Light. 9) That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that
cometh into the world. 10) He was in the world, and the world was made by him,
and the world knew him not. 11) He came unto his own, and his own received him
not. 12) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons
of God, even to them that believe on his name:
(A)
First, keep in mind that the Son is not God. If
that were the case then he would not have to hand the kingdom back over to his
Father after everything is done. Remember the scripture in 1 Cor. 15:24. This is the scripture that shows the Son has to hand
the kingdom back over to the Father. Now if he were God he would not have to do
this. Now knowing this lets look at the scripture above. The scripture above is
talking about God until verse 13. Not anywhere above does it ever speak of the
Messiah until verse 13 where the word is finally made flesh.
Verse 11 shows that God came
to his own and was not received by his own. He simply lived in His son by
the Holy Spirit and His word just as he is supposed to live in each and every
one of us. Then in verse 12 it clearly shows that the word is what gives all of us the power to become sons of
God that believe on God's name. We are all sons and daughters of God who come to
believe on God’s name, which was proven easily to be Yahweh. We are born
through the will of God. Now in verse 14
it shows how the Word became flesh. This is where the Messiah is first spoken
of. Now how is this explained? Very easily. The Messiah was the first to be born
of God through the word. As was mentioned in verse 12 he became a Son just as any of us become a Son or daughter
and that is through the Word of God. Therefore we also when born of God become a
light set on a hill. The Messiah himself speaks to his disciples on the
mountainside in Mathew 5:14 saying
they are the light of the world. Now wait a minute!! I thought the Messiah was
the light of the world as John 1:7
says. I use an argument here to help one understand how ridiculous this sounds.
We are all the light of the world. As many that have come to believe in the Name
of God have been given the power to become sons of God as verse
12 says. For the Messiah was the first who had never sinned and was obedient
unto death that he may bring us unto the marvelous light of the Father by
example.
As is written in Hebrew 5:8-9: (8) Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; (9) And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
If the Messiah was God then
how come did he have to be made perfect through suffering and learn obedience as
a Son? Therefore he could have never been God because God is our Father and a
father has to teach his son. If he were God he would have never had to learn to
be perfect. He would have been perfect from day one. But, as the case stands he
learned through suffering and was made perfect through suffering. That rules out
that he was God. So now lets follow the author of our faith and be obedient even
if it were to death as our Savior. He was our example. So lets follow our
Messiah to that cross and sacrifice the flesh that we may be obedient unto the
Spirit placed within us, and become children of the Great God who’s name is
Yahweh. What did the Messiah teach us by His death? He taught us to forgive
those who sin against us, and to be obedient, or that is faithful, that our sins
may be atoned for.
As is written in Prov. 16:6, “Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of Yahweh a man avoids evil."
Just
because we believe we don’t receive forgiveness. As is written in James 2:19 that the Demons believe and shutter. So to look at the beginning question again; “Why did it then say the
word became flesh?” This is a simple answer: “The Messiah simply was obedient unto the
word placed in his heart. Never once did he disobey his Father in heaven.”
For
this very reason is why he is our Ruler unto this day to the glory of Yahweh our
God and Father. So when John said the word became flesh he was actually saying
what the Messiah said himself in John
5:19 “…I only do as I see my Father doing.”
Read John
5:19-24 and one will see what was meant when it said the word became flesh.
Yahweh our God simply lived in the Messiah by his spirit. Just as God will do
through us if we are obedient unto Him.
The Messiah also said in John 5:30 “By myself I can do nothing;….”
So
here he shows once again how he is under God and apart from Him he can do
nothing, just as we can’t do anything apart from our God and Father who’s
name is Yahweh.
(A) This is simply answered.
It is also written in John 17:11
“…..so they may be one as we are one.” Now wait a minute here. What
does this mean? I guess we are all the same person who believe in Christ because
we are all one. I am saying this only as a pun. The only way God and the Messiah
are one is through the spirit just as we as believers are all one. When a
man and his wife are married then they become one. This does not mean they
are the same person. The pagan teachings that Jesus is God have corrupted the Church and caused the Churches to
worship a God that is made up which is no God at all. There are two God’s that
can be seen when looked carefully at. One is false and the other is true.
Look
below and chose for yourself:
A)
What this God is according to popular belief of the
Churches false teachings: He formed a body for himself on earth so he can live
among people. He often prayed to himself. He pretended to be the Son while here
on the earth leaving heaven empty, and while he was here on this earth he was so
busy living in a body trying to convince the people of himself that he
couldn’t take care of other matters. Often he talked to himself to convince
himself to forgive the people only to be an example to others how to pray to
himself. He placed himself upon the cross only so he can prove to the world that
he is willing to suffer for them so they may know he loves them. He was confused
whether or not he should do away with the law while telling everyone he didn’t
come to do away with the law. (Math.5:17-20)
His disciples were confused about everything when pertaining to the law whether
or not it should be kept or whether it should be ignored, and many other strange
ideas. He has many names even if they are titles. No one can learn who he is,
because there are no words to explain who he is, therefore we can not be like
our Father nor can we even come to know him. He goes by a different name here on
earth while he wares a different one in heaven, and along with these two names
He hasn’t really figured out what he really wants to be called by. He allows
himself to be called elohim (elohim is a plural word in Hebrew) because that way it covers all the Gods that he is.
B)
The true God is this: He formed a body in Mary’s
womb by his Holy Spirit just as he formed Adam, that would become the Son of God
through obedience unto the Spirit placed within him, which is the word of God.
He has one name as given to Moses on the mountain and has many titles. He was
able to convince the people that he was God through the words of His Son. He
sacrificed His Son for the sake of the world, just as the example he gave
through Abraham when he went to sacrifice his first born. He lived in His Son by
the Holy Spirit to bring people to know Him by what his Son said and did. Never
ever did He once do away with His law, but only expounded it, and brought
clearer meaning to what the law meant through His Son. His Son’s disciple’s
teachings were hard to understand when pertaining to the law. (2 Peter 3:14-16) This God’s name is Yahweh as mentioned to Moses
on the mountain. (Ex. 3:15 Note:
Remember that where you see the title Lord
here should have read Yahweh and His title (memorial) was the ‘I AM that I
AM’. The Hebrew word for ‘I AM’ and the Hebrew word ‘Yahweh’ are two
different words.) We can come to know our God by obeying His teachings, laws,
and commandments. (1 John 2:3)
(A)
Because just as was said before, “The Messiah
does as he sees his heavenly Father doing.” (John
5:19 “…I only do as I see my Father doing.”) It was also said in John
14:20, “At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me,
and I in you.” So what does this mean? We are all inside each other?
So we are all one and the same person? Again I say this as a pun to make
one understand how ridiculous it is to say the Messiah is God, and this is
because of the misunderstood teachings and sayings of our Savior. Now lets go on
to maturity and lay behind us these ridiculous sayings that Jesus is God, or any
other is God besides the one and only Yahweh. As is written time and time again
there is only one God. (Romans 3:30, 1 Cor. 8:4
and verse 6, Gal. 3:20, James 2:19)
The only God ever said we are to worship is Yahweh (Ex. 20:2-3 Note: remember too according to the King James dictionary
in the back that Yahweh’s name was suppose to be there.)
May Yahweh our God and Father forever bless all of those who come to know Him through the Great King Immanuel,
