Please note that my intent in this article is to share what the Almighty has shown me, to help, to inform. I do not mean to hurt or offend any person, that is NOT my intent. I pray daily that if i am wrong about ANY Thing, Please correct me! And Christ has heard that prayer many times, correcting me on several issues. But thus far, He has only CONFIRMED the Truth about this subject. I encourage each person to seek The Almightys True Will thru much prayer and fasting.

Many people will be shocked to learn that such a doctrine exist. The "Sacred Names" doctrine says that we can NOT use the words "Jesus", "God" and "Lord" because they say these words are Pagan and refer to false gods or even demons. The doctrine teaches that the true name of the Almighty is hidden and that it is being revealed to a select group of chosen people. They teach that the Almighty only has one name and that it is Hebrew and we must speak his true Hebrew name in order to be Saved.
Are we damned if we use our own modern native language in stead of the Hebrew language? Is a person damned if they do not accept the Hebrew names? What is the Total Truth about the "sacred names" issue? Must we Do Away with the name "Jesus"? Must we Stop using the titles "God" & "LORD"?
IF you have been dealing with these issues, YOU owe it to Elohim and to yourself to read this ENTIRE page and to do MUCH Fasting and Much Prayer before making a decision to SWITCH the worship names you use! This will be one of the most important decisions in your life!
I have prayed and studied this issue VERY in depth, reading many articles, websites, newsletters, emailing with people and speaking with people over the phone. The Almighty has answered my prayers concerning this and has Led me to write this Much Needed article.

LORD= Baal?

Accusation: "Lord" means "Baal", the name of a false god or demon!
FACT: "LORD" occurs 7970 times in 6749 verses in the KJV. "lords" occurs 42 times in 40 verses in the KJV.
"lords" are from the word "baal" ONLY 2 TIMES in the Entire Bible!

Numbers 21:28 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, [and] the lords (H1181) of the high places of Arnon.
Isa. 16:8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, [and] the vine of Sibmah: the lords (H1167)of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come [even] unto Jazer, they wandered [through] the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.

Strong's Number H1181 matches the Hebrew בעלי במות (Ba`aley Bamowth), which occurs 1 time in 1 verse in the Hebrew concordance of the KJV. Meaning= masters or rulers. Root word = from the pl. of H1168 and the pl. of H1116. H1168= baal H1168 same as H1167=ba`al = 1) owner, husband, lord
a) owner
b) a husband
c) citizens, inhabitants
d) rulers, lords
e) (noun of relationship used to characterise - ie, master of dreams)
f) lord (used of foreign gods)
from Root of 1166=baal= 1) to marry, rule over, possess, own
a) (Qal)
1) to marry, be lord (husband) over
2) to rule over
b) (Niphal) to be married

In both of these rare instances where the word "lords" are translated from the word "baal" they do NOT refer to the demon named "baal". The word "baal" does NOT always refer to a demon or false god. In these two instances, it is referring to rulers, NOT spiritual false deities.

James Hastings Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics: "Baal [Beel, Bel]. 1. Primitive meaning of the name. The application of this name to deities is secondary. Primarily it is a common noun denoting possessor or ownership. It denotes ownership of physical objects, thus the baal of a house, field, ditch or animal is its proprietor."
From Jewish Encyclopedia.com article baal: "The wide-spread and primitive Semitic root ("ba'al") may be most nearly rendered in English by "possess." The term "Ba'al," therefore, which is usually explained as meaning "lord," is properly "possessor" or "owner," and is so used in a great variety of applications in common Hebrew speech. Thus we read of the "ba'al" of a house, of land, of goods, of a woman (that is, as a husband). It is also generalized so far as to be a mere noun of relation. Thus a "ba'al of dreams"is a dreamer; a "ba'al of anger" is an angry man; a "ba'al of wings" is a bird; a "ba'al of edges" is two-edged; "ba'alim of a covenant" are allies; "ba'als of an oath" are conspirators. Further, a "ba'al" may be the owner of animals (Isa. i. 3; Ex. xxi. 28 et seq.), but not of men as slaves or subjects, for the phrase in Isa. xvi. 8, the "ba'alim" of the nations, implies dominion over regions rather than over people. "Ba'al" in Hebrew is therefore essentially different from "adon," which implies personal sway and control. When any divinity is called "ba'al" or "a ba'al," the designation must be understood to imply not a ruler of men, but a possessor or controller of certain things. On the other hand, the Assyrian (Babylonian) "bēl," originally the same word, implies especially lordship over men, though it is also, as in all north-Semitic languages, used as a mere noun of relation. In Arabic "ba'al," as applied to persons, is confined to the meaning of "husband.""

True Meaning of word "LORD".
lord master, ruler, †husband OE.; designation of rank XIV; peer of the realm XV. OE. hlāford, once hlāfweard, f. Gmc. *χlaib- LOAF + *ward- keeper, WARD1. The etymol. sense expresses the relation of the head of a household to his dependants who ‘eat his bread’. The word is, like LADY, a peculiarly Eng. formation. It was reduced to one syll. (XIV) by the fall of v in lōverd and contr. of the vowels.
Hence vb. XIII. lordly OE. hlāfordliċ. lordship OE. hlāfordsċipe.
Source: T. F. HOAD. "lord." The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology. 1996. Encyclopedia.com. (February 8, 2010). http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1O27-lord.html

FACT: 6510 times in the KJV the word LORD comes from H3068, Transliteration Yĕhovah. Which means Lord.

In the Old Testament Yahweh occurs 6,519 times. This name is used more than any other name of God. Yahweh is first used in Gen 2:4.
Variant spellings: YHWH, Jehovah
Strong's Reference: 3068
Yahwehin the Septuagint: kurios — Lord, Master despotês — Lord, Master, denoting the omnipotence of God (TDNT), despot, absolute ruler
Meaning and Derivation: Yahweh is the promised name of God. This name of God which (by Jewish tradition) is too holy to voice, is actually spelled "YHWH" without vowels. YHWH is referred to as the Tetragrammaton (which simply means "the four letters"). YHWH comes from the Hebrew letters: Yud, Hay, Vav, Hay. While YHWH is first used in Genesis 2, God did not reveal Himself as YHWH until Exodus 3. The modern spelling as "Yahweh" includes vowels to assist in pronunciation. Many pronounce YHWH as "Yahweh" or "Jehovah." We no longer know for certain the exact pronunciation. During the third century A.D., the Jewish people stopped saying this name in fear of contravening the commandment "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain" (Exd 20:7). As a result of this, Adonai is occasionally a substitute for YHWH. The following compound names which start with "YHWH" have been shown using "Jehovah." This is due to the common usage of "Jehovah" in the English of these compound names in the early English translations of the Bible (e.g., the Geneva Bible, the King James Version, etc.).

Accusation: Yahweh knew that the false pens of the scribes or translators would copy his word wrongly and even substitue one of the names of Baal for the sacred name and foretold it. Jer. 23:26, 27; Jer. 8:8,9
FACT: Jer. 23:26 How long shall [this] be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, [they are] prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
:27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name (my glory) for Baal. (for baal's glory)
Name: H8034: 1) name
a) name
b) reputation, fame, glory
c) the Name (as designation of God)
d) memorial, monument

Considering the context, A better translation would be "They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget me.” It's NOT talking about a pronounction. If it was, It would say "forget how to speak my name". But it doesn't say that!
New American Standard Bible: "who intend to make My people forget My name by their dreams which they relate to one another, just as their fathers forgot My name because of Baal?" NOT in place of baal's pronounation!
NIV: They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget my name, just as their fathers forgot my name through Baal worship.

Jer. 8:8 "How do ye say, We [are] wise, and the law of the LORD [is] with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he [it]; the pen of the scribes [is] in vain."
Matthew Henry Commentary; "They would not attend to the dictates of the written word. They say, We are wise; but how can they say so?" End quote.
Verse 9 confirms it is saying that the scribes work is in vain because people don't obey. The wise [men] are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom [is] in them?

The Word "GOD":
Accusation: The word "God" was originally used by the Teutonic peoples to refer to their heathen deities according to Websters Dictionary.
FACT: The word "God" is a title of anything that is worshipped. There is the True One Eternal GOD and there are false "gods". Some peoples god is their money. Just because one group of people or some groups of pagans used the word "god" in reference to their "god" doesn't mean the word always refers to false gods.

1 Corinthians 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

In the Holy Scriptures, "Elohim" is used over 200 times to designate FALSE gods. Some of the false gods designated by the word "Elohim" includes Baal, Chemosh, Dagon, Milcom, Nisroch and even the female goddess of sex, Ashtoreth. The word "gods" in the first commandment (Exodus 20:3) is "Elohim" in the orginal Hebrew.
Even the word "El", meaning "Mighty One", while used many places to refer to the true God, it is also used many times to refer to false gods. Examples: Exodus 15:11, 34:14 ; Deut. 32:12; Dan. 11:36.

Accusation: The English word "God" comes from an old Syrian deity "Gawd" and is referred to as Gad in Isa. 65:11 see margin.
FACT: There is NO authority for such a statement. This is no more true than to claim that the Polish word "Bog" came from our English word "bog". To them, the word means an object or being of worship, but to us it means a marshy piece of ground. As for "Gad", one of Jacob's twelve sons was named Gad and thus one of the tribes of Israel is named Gad. Gen. 30:11; Rev. 7:5. One of Gods prophets in Davids day was named "Gad". 2 Sam.24:11-19. The word "Gad" has a favorable place in the Sacred Scriptures, even though there was also a heathen god by that name mentioned in Isa. 65:11; and furthermore there is NO evidence of a connection between the word "Gad" and our English word "God".

Jesus = Zeus???
Accusation: Jesus is a heathen name of the false Greek god, Zeus, shortened - Je-zeus. We have been ignorantly worshipping a pagan god as Savior.
FACT: ...There is not a single authority in dictionary or any other historical source book that even hints at a possibility of the word "Jesus" having any connection with the Greek god, Zeus. Here are the facts. From the New Twentieth Century Dictinary, Article "Jesus"-Gr. Iesous- from the Hebrew Yeshua, a contr. of Yehoshua, a name signifying help of Jehovah: Yah-Jehovah, and hoshua- to help."
The Encyclopedia Brittanica gives the following, Article "Jesus". "The word Jesus is the form assumed in Latin by the Greek Iesous, which is the transliterated form of the Hebrew Jehoshua, Jeshua or Joshua, meaning Jehovah is salvation."
There we have the historical facts that Jesus is NOT a pagan substitute but it is the transliterated Greek form of the Hebrew "Yeshua" or Joshua, which are contracted forms of "Yehoshua." In short, "Jesus" is the Greek from of the Hebrew word "Joshua". The word was in common usage in the days of our Saviour's stay on the earth. Many of the Jews had been using Greek as their language for 300 years."

The following is from: http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definition/jesus
Jesus (1.) Joshua, the son of Nun (Acts 7:45; Heb. 4:8; R.V., "Joshua"). (2.) A Jewish Christian surnamed Justus (Col. 4:11). Je'sus, the proper, as Christ is the official, name of our Lord. To distinguish him from others so called, he is spoken of as "Jesus of Nazareth" (John 18:7), and "Jesus the son of Joseph" (John 6:42). This is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Joshua, which was originally Hoshea (Num. 13:8, 16), but changed by Moses into Jehoshua (Num. 13:16; 1 Chr. 7:27), or Joshua. After the Exile it assumed the form Jeshua, whence the Greek form Jesus.

Other Names for GOD: He has MANY Names:
Accusation: The Almighty Eternal One has only one name according to Ps. 83:18
FACT: Ps. 83:18 "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth."
The name "Jehovah" or "Yehovah" means "Eternal One". That name belongs ONLY to the Eternal One. Isa. 46:9-11. But it doesn't say that He has only one name.
First let us look at Exo. 3:6-14. At the burning bush, Moses met the GOD of his fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. (Verse 6) Moses wanted to know the name of the "God of your fathers" that was sending him to deliver Israel from bondage so that he could answer the people when they asked "What is His Name?" The answer was "Thus shalt thou say,... I AM hath sent me unto you." (Verses 13, 14.) Some may object that "I AM" means Eternal One, the same as Yehovah. That is true, BUT Yehovah did NOT use the word "Yehovah" in this verse! BOTH names are sacred names found in your Bible.
GOD appeared to Abraham "by the name of GOD Almighty" in Exo. 6:3 and Gen. 17:1. So far we have found 3 names....."

Sacred name groups say He only has one name and they know that name. Rev.19:12 says He has a name that no man knows! Rev. 19 uses THREE "name"'s for Him! One is the one that "No man knows", one is "Word of God" and What name will be written on Him when He returns?
Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

The scriptures uses other names for Him as well:
Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." Emanuel, but yet you don't see anyone going around saying you must call him by that name.

Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Other names for GOD:
Elohim, Lord, Master, Lion of Judah, Alpha and Omega, Bread of Life, seed of David, Savior, Redeemer, high priest, bright and morning star, truth, rock, messiah, deliverer, healer, foundation, word, king.

I often listen to Israel National Radio. These are Hebrew people, therefore experts on the Hebrew language. They often use "Yeshua" and "Joshua" interchangeably. Jesus was NOT the only one called Yeshua like if it was some sacred name that no one else had. So, if people are going to use the argument "which Jesus are you praying to", I could use the same argument "which Yeshua are you praying to".

Historical Facts of the Greek Scriptures: Septuagint: Greek Translation of the Old Testament: 72 scholars under the sponsorship of Ptolemy Philadelphus about 250 B.C. were brought together on the island of Pharos near Alexandria where they produced the Septuagint in 72 days. And on the 73rd day they rested. The Septuagint quickly became the Bible for the Jews who no longer spoke their ancestral language of Hebrew!!! It was the bible of the early church including all the disciplines!!! They used the Greek language bible!!! Jesus never rebuked the disciples for using the Greek word "Theos". Paul traveled throughout the Greek world and used the Greek word for God. He knew it was acceptable to use the languages of the audience that he was speaking to. He never taught that the Gentiles had to speak in Hebrew!
Jesus said He's the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet! Rev. 1:8 "I am Alpha and Omega..." He's not against the Greek language, and uses it to refer to himself!

MYTH: There is a Pagan Language
FACT: Actually there is NO such thing as a "pagan language" or "pagan Word"! GOD created all languages!!! There are words that describe pagan activities or pagan items. There is pagan worship. But words and languages are NOT pagan! If there was a pagan language or pagan words, that would mean that there was a nation or race that used that language and that all words they spoke or wrote would be forbidden to be spoken or written to this day including any words that descended from that language.

Holy Scriptures or Satanic Bible?
Let's Consider the following FACTS:
-Any thing pagan is breaking the 1st Commandment. Anything pagan is against the Almighty Ruler of the Universe. Anything pagan is rebellion against Him. Anything pagan is of the devil. Anything pagan is demonic. -Any thing Pagan will be condemned, accused, damned, destroyed, will perish! Thus we do NOT allow ANYTHING pagan in our houses! No christmas trees, etc.
-The most hated/offensive words by Christians of all faiths are the curse words that have the initials G.D.
-Paul was taught and instructed by Christ to go to the Gentiles and to preach to them, to let the Gospel be ministered to them, And he did so through much traveling beyond the Holy Land. The most common and known language of those times was the Greek language as English is today.

Keeping those Undisputed Facts in mind, let's consider the Following:

-The KJV Bible as we have it today in the English language, uses the word "God" 4473 times in 3893 verses. The word "Jesus" occurs 983 times in 942 verses in the KJV. The word "lord" or "LORD" occurs 7970 times in 6749 verses in the KJV. The word "lords" occurs 42 times in 40 verses in the KJV. The Sacred Name doctrine teaches that the KJV Bible has a mininum of 13,468 pagan demonic words. IF these words are pagan (demonic) and not to be used, we MUST throw our bibles away! There must be NO COMPROMISE! If you believe these words to be pagan, You must obey YHWH and have no gods beside Him and destroy this pagan manuscript immediately! But yet GOD has honored this manuscript in the English language for centuries even founding this great nation of the USA in God We Trust with biblical principles based upon the KJV Bible with these words 13,468 times. GOD has healed millions of people and answers billions of prayers said in the name of Jesus, God and Lord. We must accept and keep this Bible or else throw it out and get a Hebrew Bible and learn the entire language OR get a "Sacred Names Bible" which has been translated by a modern day self proclaimed prophet who thinks he knows More than the hundreds of translators of old throughout the centuries. But do one or the other, Don't be wavering about! I am NOT saying that we should throw our bibles away as I know that it is NOT filled with demonic worship. But if you beleive that the words Jesus, GOD and Lord are demonic or pagan in ANY way, You have NO CHOICE but to throw your bibles away!

Deut. 6:5 "And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might" IF this is saying "you must love the Baal demonic fallen angel or Satan thy god with all thine heart, soul and might", then you MUST THROW IT AWAY!! It's NOT the holy scriptures, it's the Satanic Bible!!! But Do you really believe that??? There are ministers out there that would have you believe this!!!

Blasmephying GOD!
-When a sacred names believer uses the spelling "G_d", they are saying that "God" is pagan, thus "God" is condemnable or damnable. Thus they are truly are saying G.D., that is the bad curse word that no one should ever use!
IF you are going to believe and observe the sacred names doctrine, then USE the sacred names! Use Elohim and other Hebrew names, don't be wavering about, because when you do waver about, you make a mockery of your own doctrine AND offend us at the same time, and I believe it's offensive to God as well.

-To completely stop using the words "Jesus", "God" and throw your bible away are MAJOR steps! Something that should only be done after as much research as going to Israel or somewheres and living there a year or more with a expert and truly knowing what you are talking about OR being visited by an angel OR some other direct confirmation from God OR being very certain with NO way of accepting Jesus and God any more. It must be certain. OR else risk the Wrath of God! To truly keep/observe such a doctrine, you must be as certain about it as you are the fact that christmas is pagan and without dispute.

Baptized in What Name?
If it is so very important that we never use the word "Jesus", then I would ask you in what name was you baptized in? Did you denounce Jesus? Was Jesus a curse upon you? Dear Lord, Have Mercy Upon Us!
Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, 'Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 8:16 For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Acts 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Acts 19:5 When they heard [this], they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

HOWEVER, in Matt. 28:19, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." So if it says in one place to baptize in the Name of Jesus and in another place to baptize "in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit", which name should be pronounced at the baptism? The answer of course is that it's not talking about any pronouncation. It's talking about AUTHORITY. In His Authority.

-Would God EVER honor something pagan? Would God ever honor a false/pagan/demonic god name for His Name within a prayer and answer that prayer?

-IF the Apostle Paul was alive today, would he write in English or Hebrew?

-The Church of God has always known and accepted "there is only one name" and "in the name of" and "name" to mean "Authority" NOT "pronunciation" or "spelling" or "language". Many have forgotten this fact.

-Why would God reveal as much truth to Herbert W. Armstrong as He did about the Sabbath day, christmas, easter and so many other great truths IF Mr. Armstrong was using evil pagan names to worship God? Why is God revealing so much to many other servants who use the terms God and Jesus?

-The sacred names doctrine ministers claim I am being reclusive. But Which doctrine would teach more people to come to God? Which doctrine would teach more gentiles to accept the God of Israel? The one that says you must only use the Hebrew names OR the one that says you can use any language, your own language to worship the God of the universe, of all races?

The Holy Spirit has told me that we CAN use both Hebrew and English or any other language. It is ok to use the Hebrew Names but NOT required. It is ok to speak with our own language, therefore I use BOTH according to how the Spirit leads me at that moment and the Lord tells me to use JESUS most often. If you are more comfortable using the Hebrew names, that is ok! But don't tell me that I do not know who I am talking to! If you cannot pronounce them or if you are too confused about the subject, Know that God is NOT limited to a sound and that He WILL hear you in your own language. When using the word "God", you know which God you are referring to and so does the person you are talking to and so does God. He knows who you are talking to. He does not mind you using titles when referring to Him, He gives Himself many titles. Anyone with great authority has many titles and names which can be used interchangeably such as Sir, Mister, President, etc. The greater the authority, the more names and titles that person has. This is also true in all of the spirit world.

Jesus is NOT a 4-letter word! How dare anyone to try to turn it into a 4-letter word! Shame on anyone who causes confusion in the church and say that we must only use one word and any other word is a 4-letter word in reference to false gods or the evil one! Jesus is not the evil one! Jesus is the Saviour, Any doctrine that tries to say anything else is not of God!

I was not confused in my mind and had a great relationship with God in Light until the spirit of religious confusion came against me and my spirit and caused darkness in my life because of the so called sacred names issue, causing me and many others to doubt who they were praying to. I KNOW darkness. Unfortunately I have had more to do with darkness in my life than most people on this planet. But I tell you one thing right here and right now, that I never felt as much darkness as that which came against me when the sacred names issue caused my mind to be oppressed with darkness and confusion even when I thought I had it right and started using Yeshua instead of Jesus. People have gotten so caught up with RESEARCH and knowledge that they have forgotten to test the spirits. They say it is confusion to speak with the Gift of the Holy Ghost of speaking in unknown tongues. They say it is confusion to shout praises to God. They say it is confusion to testify in front of a congregation about what God has done for them. But yet they do NOT claim confusion when they tell people that they are praying to demons by pronouncing the name of Jesus in modern day English! Even though I will lose the support of many of you, I must proclaim that there is Peace in the name of Jesus Christ! The Lord has confirmed this to me many times over! You need to give up your own understandings (Proverbs 3:5-6) and all your internet pages and reference books and stop and listen to His Voice! What is He telling you?

Gnosticism
1 Timothy 6:20: "O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:"
Quote from Zondervan Study Bible: "The Greek word translated "science" is normally translated "knowledge". This is a reference to an early form of heresy of Gnosticism, which taught that one may be saved by knowledge. The term "Gnosticism" comes from this Greek word for knowledge; see Introduction to 1 John: Gnosticism." End Quote. Then I go to 1 John: Gnosticism and receive this quote: "Salvation...not by faith in Christ but by special knowledge". END Quote.
The teachers and believers of the sacred names doctrine believe they are saved because they have a special knowledge of Gods name, hidden from the rest of the world. This is a modern form of Gnosticism.

Vampire of the Church!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_shoot The Sucker of a tree or plant is a growth usually from the roots or stump of a tree or plant. The plants energy is diverted to the sucker rather than to the crown growth. It is a vampire to the plant basically draining the blood or life force. GOD has revealed to me that the Sacred Names Doctrine is one of the Vampires of the Church, draining the Blood of Christ and diverting the energy away from growth of the Crown. Accept it or not, This is the 100% Truth! Sorry to offend anyone but GOD is GOD and I am just sharing what He has revealed to me.

NOT the only ones avoiding GOD
Did you know that satanist who call themselves "Luciferians", also believe that the names of GOD were switched? Yes they also believe that Jesus is Zeus. They also use the spelling "g_d"! Below are 4 proof pages! Please note that i am NOT saying that people who observe the 'sacred names doctrine' are satanic. I am NOT saying such a thing! What i am saying is that avoiding the words "GOD" and "Jesus" does not necessarity make you Holy.

2 Tim. 2:14 Of these things put [them] in remembrance, charging [them] before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, [but] to the subverting of the hearers.
:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
:16 But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

2 Tim. 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all [men], as theirs also was.

2 Tim. 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
:4 And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

In Conclusion, The Sacred Names Doctrine is a spirit of religious confusion and Gnosticism and is a grievous sore on the church and tries to Limit God! This is not just what I say. It's what God says! I am NOT trying to push anyone away, I'm trying to Wake people up and proclaim that God is NOT limited to ANY one name or to any sound. He's not even limited to the name of Jesus! You can use the words Jesus AND Yeshua! Any teaching that says different is NOT of God but rather of the evil one. Sorry but NOW THAT'S THE TRUTH.

Are we supposed to be going backward or forward? Are we supposed to focus on the Hebrew language or on God? Are we supposed to be an Old Testament church or a New Testament Church? Is the message to only the Hebrew? Are you Hebrew? I AM Jewish but yet I do not feel that I MUST speak Hebrew in all my worship!
Are we to be going into all the world and all nations to teach the Hebrew language OR to spread the Gospel of the kingdom of God? Is our focus on Him Himself or upon an ancient language? Is Elijah to return the hearts OR to return the language? What is to be restored? God's Ways or a language?

I wrote this article not to offend anyone but for the edification of the church as inspired by God. God has laid the aritcle on my heart and so I post this as directed. If you are offended, then so be it, As I cannot be a pleaser of men or family or friends but only a pleaser of God. If you accept, God Bless.

Clarification: I am NOT against using the Hebrew Language. I am just against the teaching and the doctrine that says that we MUST use the Hebrew Language and the teaching/doctrine that says we are worshiping the devil when we use the modern English or Greek words for GOD. I welcome all servants of God in this ministry, whether you use Hebrew, English, Russian or Chinese. Thanks.

Praise God Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth!
Всевышний Бог хваления, создатель рая и земля!
Похвалите Бога Чертовски, Создателя Небес и Земли!
