Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
One offensive thing that should bother all true Christians is those who want to correct God's Word, the Authorized Version, the King JAMES (with a "J") Bible. It does not. What offends many is the pointing out, the exposition of this practice among Christians.
There has been a very organized and consorted effort, a war waged by Bible correctors (Publishers) for the past 140 years to hide the name Jehovah from us, and switch it out to the tribal god of the Canaanites "Yahweh" instead. So who is Yahweh, then? Another group of "Torah Observant Sabbath Keepers" (their name) are members of the "Hebrew Roots Movement".
The origin of the movement is not Jewish, it is merely a return to Judaism, a return to the Law which never saved anyone.
- Baal is the Canaanite god, an idol worshiped in the Old Testament in the groves and the high places. His wife is Ashtoreth, "the Queen of Heaven", which is the exact same "Virgin Mary" of the
Roman Catholic "Church"
(Exodus 34:13 [KJV])
But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
(Deuteronomy 7:5 [KJV])
But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
(Deuteronomy 12:3 [KJV])
And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
(2 Kings 23:14 [KJV])
And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
(Judges 3:7 [KJV])
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
Strong's Concordance even itself tells you that LORD (all capitals) is "Jehovah"-and they are in no way, shape a final authority! so Israel turned away from ADonai and Jehovah and served Baalim, Ashtoreth and the groves, the high places (Jeremiah 10)
THE GROVES OF YAHWEH
(Jeremiah 10:1-5 [KJV])
Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
- The gnostics called him to "demiurge", a created god before Creation, to early gnostic Christians
- Other names the gnostics used are Yaldabaoth, Jaldabaoth or Ialdabaoth
- Yahweh is in no way God, not the One, the true God of either Testament, but a tribal god of the Canaanites who was an idol, worshiped in the groves, as in the high places.
- This is the same as calling Ashtoreth Mary (they do, same god) and is the same as calling Yahweh God....neither changes who they are
- This is the same things as calling "Allah"God, the God of the Old Testament
- God's Name is Jehovah, not YAHWEH! His Name is Jehovah, not YAH! Nor is it Yeshua, Yehoshua!
- Kanye West, who changed his name to "Ye" is influencing the world with this new name, which is a form of YAHWEH
- The publishers who have brought us 250 plus false "versions" of God's Word are the same ones who publish the concordances based upon the Westcott/Hort Greek New Testament, the Alexandrian texts,
etc.
- That said, even Strong's concordance says that the word "LORD" is from the Hebrew "Jehovah"
- "There is no "J" in Hebrew", but the letter "Yod" in Hebrew translates to "J", not "Y"
- The Bible in no way and in no place supports the word YAHWEH, it does not contain "YAHWEH" in any place
- Yod in Hebrew into English translates into Jod, and change Jesus to "Yeshua" because "there is no 'J' in Hebrew", however, this is not the translation into English, this" Y", as it is translated as a "J"
- This is Joshua, in the Old Testament, with the Name translated into English. That English word is Jesus. To be consistent in translating, the book John would be "the book of Yon". The book of
James would be the book of Yames". We do not have the book of Yob, Yonah, Yezebel, Yerusalem, Yacob, Yechariah, Yeremiah, Yehova, Yoel, Yude. The translation into English is to change the "Y" to
a "J". In other words, the Hebrew word for Jesus is Joshua, not "Yeshua", most certainly not "Yesus"!.
- Find "Yeshua" or "Yesus" in your King James Bible
- Please, go find me a "King Yames Bible"
- So that name above all names is Jesus, from Joshua not "Yeshua", not "Yesus"
- The Word of God always goes forward, not backward. Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek, Syriac (Antioch), Latin, German, lastly English
- The Bible LOOKS backward, asks us to read the past to learn from it, but does not ask us to observe it as the Church, the body of Christ!
- The Bible LOOKS backward, asks us to read the past to learn from it, but does not ask us to GO BACKWARD, as the body of Christ!
- Once one leaves the KJV, all sorts of false doctrines enter in, like utter, rank heresy, like cults, etc.
Yahweh is
being reported as originating from the god Vulcan of the Canaanites
- Yahweh was a god of war and a god of storms to the Canaanites
(Acts 7:44,45 [KJV])
Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen. Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus (Joshua) into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
(Hebrews 4:8 [KJV])
For if Jesus (Joshua) had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
In the Old testament, Joshua gave them rest. That same name in the New Testament, is Jesus giving them rest. It is the same name, same Hebrew Word. with a "J", not a "Y".
Stephen is speaking about
Joshua, in the Old Testament, with the Name translated into English. That English word is Jesus. To be consistent in translating, as was just said, else the book John would be "the book of Yon". The book of James would be "the book of Yames". We do not have "the book of Yob", "the book of Yonah", "the book of Yeremiah", "the book of Yechariah", "the book of Yoel", "the book of Yude", names like "Yezebel", "Yerusalem", "Yacob", "Yehoiakim". The fact is that a direct translation into English is to change the "Y" to a "J". In other words, the Hebrew word for Jesus is Joshua, not "Yeshua".
"Gentiles? That tabernacle was brought in by those who came with Jesus, that is, Joshua. And I think, for distinction sake, and to prevent mistakes, it ought to be so read, both Acts 7:45; Heb 4:8. Yet in naming Joshua here, which in Greek is Jesus, there may be a tacit intimation that as the Old-Testament Joshua brought in that typical tabernacle, so the New-Testament Joshua should bring in the true tabernacle into the possession of the Gentiles"-Matthew Henry

THE CULTS OF YAHWEH
-
There is a cult named “The Church of the Almighty God” or “Eastern Lightning”, pretending to be Christians.
The followers believe that the biblical God has returned to earth as a woman named Yang Xiangbin "born to an ordinary family in the northern part of China in order to guide mankind for the third and final time. According to this cult, the first and second times of active guidance of mankind were as "YAHWEH" of the Old Testament and as Jesus in the New Testament.
The group teaches that a woman who styles herself "Almighty God", from Zhengzhou, Henan, is the second Christ. Her most widely distributed book, The Word Appears in the Flesh proclaims itself the Word of God. The book claims the first coming of Christ was to redeem humanity, while the second is to judge and purify mankind and defeat Satan. It also claims that those who do not accept her words will receive severe punishment when the judgment ends."
-
In the apocryphal book of Enoch, which is not Scripture, there is a story of the fall of the angels, located at that time on Mount Hermon, which was supposedly a gathering-place of the demons of old (Enoch xiii.; compare Brandt, "Die mandäische Religion," 1889, p. 38).
AZAZEL IS ONE OF THE LEADERS OF THE REBELLIOUS WATCHERS IN THE TIME PRECEDING THE FLOOD; he taught men the art of warfare, of making swords, knives, shields, and coats of mail, and women the art of deception by ornamenting the body, dyeing the hair, and painting the face and the eyebrows, and also revealed to the people the secrets of witchcraft and corrupted their manners, leading them into wickedness and impurity until at last he was, at YAHWEH's command, bound hand and foot by the archangel Raphael and chained to the rough and jagged rocks of Dudael, where he is to abide in utter darkness until the great Day of Judgment, when he will be cast into the fire to be consumed forever (Enoch viii. 1, ix. 6, x. 4–6, liv. 5, lxxxviii.”
The whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by AZAZEL: to him ascribe all sin. - Book of Enoch 10:8
- Still another is the "The Nation of Yahweh", which is a "Black Hebrew Israelite" religious cult founded in 1979 in Miami by Hulon Mitchell Jr., He called himself "Yahweh ben Yahweh". Their goal is to move black Americans, who it says are the original Hebrews/Israelites, back to Israel. The cult believes, teaches that Yahweh ben Yahweh is the Son of God. In this way, its beliefs are unique and distinct from those of other Black Hebrew Israelite groups.
The founder, Hulon Mitchell, was indicted on federal racketeering and extortion charges, also convicted of conspiracy to commit murder. The group is just basically a black supremacist cult
