"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).
