"God"
Is WRONG!
KNOW
that this sounds like heresy to some of you, but hear me
out, please! There is reason to my apparent
"madness," as you will see. What would you say if I
could prove to you -- straight from the pages of scripture
-- that "God" is wrong? Would you see the light?
Believe it or not, that is just what
scripture reveals, at least original
scripture, before the translators got hold of it.
You see, "God" is wrong entirely because the
translators of your bible decided to change a few things,
vital things that have a very real impact on whether or not
you can find the true and only path to real salvation...
Setting a Table For
"God"
Looking into the original language
scripture, particularly Isaiah
65:11, we read about an old Babylonian false idol which
is translated as "troop" or "fortune" in most modern bibles,
along with another false idol translated "destiny" or "fate"
in the same verse.
There is something odd about the
transliteration of the first of these names, as found in
"Joshua"
11:17, "Gad." That was the name of one of the
twelve tribes of Yasrael. But apparently this false
idol had been around for quite some time before the birth of
the patriarch whose name was Gad, and it is not reasonable
to think that he was named after a false idol.
After all, Abraham, his son Yatzaq
[incorrectly: "Isaac"], and grandson Ya'acob
[incorrectly: "Jacob"] or Yasrael, were not into
such pagan practices, else Abraham would certainly never
have been called "the father of the believers" (faith =
belief therefore faithful = believer; cf. I Peter 1:21).
Instead, using the pronunciation guide
in the Hebrew Dictionary for Strong's Concordance,
under listing #1409, you will find that the actual
pronunciation of this word was: "god" (or "gawd" as
in Strong's).
The Creator Is
NOT "God"
Hard as this may seem to be or accept, you
must realize that the Creator of heaven and earth was
never called "God" in original
scripture. This word is an English translation
invention, used to substitute for the Creator's true name,
or often for the descriptive adjective and noun phrase:
Elhayavim (Strong's Hebrew Dictionary listing #410),
more correctly translated "Almighty One(s)."
So just where did the translators come
up with this particular word, and why did they apply it to
the Creator revealed in scripture? According to the
second edition of Webster's Unabridged New International
Dictionary (1934, 1945), this word comes from a Sanskrit
root word, as found in Old High German, Old Norse, Dutch,
Swedish, Danish and Gothic.
According to this authoritative
source, "god" means: "(a being) invoked (by
incantation)...." In fact, I think it would not
be any great stretch of the imagination to acknowledge that
this word actually goes back much farther than Sanskrit, and
in fact goes all the way back to ancient Mesopotamia, the
region in which ancient Babylon sprang up and
flourished.
There's an old saying, "If it look
like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then
it must be a duck." And this now
English word "god" certainly sounds and looks like the exact
same pagan idol named "God" in ancient Babylon!
Which Mighty One(s)
Do YOU Worship?
There are other clues, in the use of
this word today, that show that it clearly survives from the
days of pagan idol worship, and has nothing whatever to do
with the true Creators of heaven and earth -- the Almighty
Ones otherwise known as "the Father and the Son" -- revealed
in scripture.
Take the phrase, "Good luck and may
God go with you." The emphasis on fortune, or "luck,"
here is unmistakable, and is certainly NOT
descriptive in any way, shape or form, of the true Creators.
"Time and circumstance happen to all men,"
scripture teaches us ("circumstance" or "accident," not
"chance," as in most bible translations; see: Ecclesiastes
9:11), but in no way is this attributed to the Creator
as the source or cause but rather to man's sinful nature:
"Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner
destroys much good" (verse
18).
So why, exactly, is "God"
wrong? It is wrong, because it pins a pagan
idol's name to the Elhayavim, the Almighty Ones who created
heaven and earth. It is wrong because it blames the
Creators for the sinful nature of man, rather than the true
originator of that evil condition, the false accuser and
adversary.
It is also wrong because it
circumvents -- and therefore subverts the knowledge and use
of -- "the only name under heaven given to men by which
we must be saved" (Acts
4:12).
That name is revealed in original
scripture as Yahvsave (Strong's Hebrew
Dictionary listing #3091, from #3068 and #3467, i.e.
"Yahveh who saves us"), but this name of salvation is
totally missing from every modern bible
translation!
From Falsehood To
Salvation Through Yahveh's Name!
It should go without saying that those
who embrace, and worship in, a false name are not attaining
true salvation. Instead, they are engaging in a
fool's game of religious pretension and vain pursuit of what
is unobtainable, by any means other than legitimate
scriptural truth. The PURE
TRUTH, in fact.
For only in the pages of The
PURE TRUTH Restored will you read or hear about the
name of the true Savior revealed in original inspired
scripture, for the first time in nearly two millennia!
The time for the restoration of this vital truth of
salvation -- so long suppressed by wicked, false religious
heresies -- has come at last (cf. Malachi
4:6; Matthew
17:11; Acts
3:21)!
It is a time in which:
"[E]veryone who calls upon the name of
Yahveh will be saved"
("Joel"
2:32; Acts
2:21).
