How to Get Jehovah's Witnesses to LISTEN

[Chad]

WHAT IF THEY ARE AT THE DOOR NOW?

SHARE your Christian TESTIMONY

* Share your Christian testimony.
* No special preparation is needed.
* Tell them how Jesus has made Himself real to YOU.
* Talk about what Christ has done in YOUR life.

Jehovah's Witnesses have NO ARGUMENT to REFUTE your testimony. It happened to YOU!

The typical Jehovah's Witness has a distant relationship with God -- through an organization.

Your testimony may remind them of the New Testament where believers EXPERIENCED GOD instead of just reading about Him in one publication after another.

Then ask the JW to return another time to HELP you with your QUESTIONS about their beliefs. (That's usually the only way they'll agree to come back.)

Read the rest of this file before they return, so you'll be prepared.

"I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow."

(1 Corinthians 3:6 NIV)

Even if you never see them again, the message you give them is not wasted

Are JWs at the bottom of your street, heading your way?

Read through Romans ch. 8 with them.

* Tell them it's one of your favorite passages.
* Ask to hear it read in THEIR Bible.

Only a few comments are needed, as suggested here:

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, [ SAY: "Many people feel condemned." (Many JWs feel condemned, though they won't admit it. Their organization teaches only "the anointed remnant" -- approx. 8000 elderly JWs -- are "in [union with] Christ" in the sense Romans chapter 8 describes.) ] because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.

For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.

Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.

Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God. [ SAY: "Imagine being in a situation where you cannot please God no matter how hard you try. Everyone is in that situation until they receive Christ:" ]

You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. [ SAY: "So, people CAN please God only when the Spirit comes to live in them." ]

But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation--but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it.

For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. [ SAY: "What a blessing it is that God adopts us as his children by sending his Spirit to live in our hearts!" (JWs believe only the 8000+ of "the anointed remnant" experience this, while 14,000,000 others follow their "spirit-directed organization.") ]

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.

Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. [ Unfamiliar with verses 1-14, many JWs will recognize 15-17 as quoted in their publications concerning "the anointed remnant." Millions of JWs learn to respond to such New Testament promises by saying "That does not apply to me, for I am one of the 'other sheep' and not begotten of God's spirit." - Life Everlasting-In Freedom of the Sons of God (1966) page 153 ] SAY: "So, we are all condemned, unable to please God no matter how hard we try, until God sends the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, adopting us as His children."

They will try to hide their reaction, but Romans 8:1-17 proves devastating to JWs who grasp its meaning.

Vs.8-9 shows we either "belong to Christ" or "cannot please God." It does not allow for a secondary class of 'other sheep' sanctified by an organization.

Not just indoctrinated, but also trained, drilled and rehearsed

Whether they are relatives, workmates, or strangers visiting your doorstep, Jehovah's Witnesses are difficult to talk to.

And this is no accident. They are thoroughly indoctrinated.

Following the complete program of congregation meetings and personal study, a JW who does all the assigned homework ends up reading approximately 3,000 pages each year from Watchtower Society publications. That includes 24 semimonthly Watchtower magazines of 32 pages each, an equal number of Awake! magazines, 12 monthly Our Kingdom Ministry internal publications of 4 or 8 pages each, plus one or more books, brochures and/or booklets -- the typical year's output from the organization's printing factories.

It also includes re-reading "study" material a second time when underlining answers in each paragraph in preparation for meetings, and re-reading that material a third and perhaps even a fourth time during the course of those meetings. There are usually two or three "study articles" in each issue of The Watchtower that receive such close close attention and repetitive reading in preparation for Sunday morning Watchtower Study meetings. There is also a book studied paragraph-by-paragraph at Congregation Book Study meetings typically held every Tuesday evening. And there are other books used in preparing assignments for the Theocratic Ministry School on Thursday or Friday evenings.

Even Witnesses who don't do much or any of the assigned reading do find themselves sitting through nearly five hours of meetings each week. Besides question-and-answer coverage of "study" materials, these meetings consist mostly of lectures and staged discussions.

Both the aforementioned "School" and the Service Meeting feature many roll-playing demonstrations, with one JW playing the part of YOU and another playing himself or herself calling at your door or speaking to you in less formal circumstances.

These demonstrations on the platform in front of the Kingdom Hall audience show Jehovah's Witnesses how to present their message effectively. They learn how to handle, not just their prepared message of the week, but also the objections, questions, and arguments that YOU are most likely to bring up.

By rotation, nearly all active JWs take turns acting one part or another in these demonstrations, actually trying out the various approaches and learning to overcome objections and defeat arguments raised by non-Witnesses.

In addition to the sessions at Kingdom Hall meetings, similar practice sessions are held when groups meet for door-to-door work and even in homes when families prepare for this activity.

So, the chances are that a clever argument you have thought of to share with the next JW who calls, may well be an argument he or she has already heard, practiced, and learned how to defeat.

Hi Chad.

Thanks for the info on the JW's I've been looking for something like that for a while. So I bookmarked the link.

We get the JW's round quite a lot, there's a kingdom hall quite close by. But I now feel better equipment to speak to them.

Blessings,

An excellent article bro Chad. I will practice it the next time the jws call. I saw them at the top of my road only yesterday. They have not been to see me for some time.......wonder why.......hope Iv'e not upset them......hahahaha

 

[Maureen]

thank you Chad, took some notes from your article.

I know an elderly gentleman, Christian, born again, and said he loved to see them coming to his door, for he would ask them did they know the 'New Song' and of which tribe did they belong.

He said one fellow told him he belonged to the tribe of Dan, and according to Billy he told him that he was in the tribe who weren't going to heaven.

Now I hope I've got those details correct, I know I have about the song, but it was so long ago and I don't get to see Billy anymore.

Any enlightenment on these at all?

 

[stephen]

The 144,000 are mentioned in Rev. 7:4 The bible distinctly says "144,000 of all the tribes of the children of Israel" So these 144,000 are clearly Jews. "Of all the tribes of Israel" The tribe of Dan is not mentioned. Some suggest this could be because Dan led Israel into the sin of idolatry. When Jacob prophesied over his son's as his death drew near Gen 49: 17 he spoke of Dan "as a serpent by the way"

Interesting

 

[Maureen]

Stephan
Thank you for your insight.

It was right then about the tribe of Dan, just shows you what then 'dont' know, doesnt it.

What about the new song? I know it's mentioned in the Bible and that's were Boney M took the words for 'how shall we sing a new song in a strange land' in By the Rivers of Babylon.

Do the JW think the 144.000 are only of themselves, I think I read that.

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.Psalm 61 v 2

 

[SpiritLedEd]

This is great stuff about dealing with the JWs. Fortunately or unfortunately, I live in an apartment complex that has security doors, so they can't ring my doorbell. Also, I use our local bus system for transportation and the JWs were recently told by bus company management that they would be unceremoniously thrown off the buses and maybe arrested if they tried their evangelism at bus stops or while riding the bus.

I'm going to study your post, though, just in case the Lord sets me up with a "Divine Appointment" to have an encounter with them.

share a little testimony

dearest bro. Chad:
greetings in Chris Jesus: righteousness, peace & joy...

let me share my testimony in sharing with the Jehovah's witnesses": this had happened when i was pastoring in the province of Ilocos Sur, the JW were then doing their usual routine: doing house to house,

they came to my place and started sharing their doctrines i was quietly listening and trying to absorb what they are saying without making any comments. when its my turn to share i told them about the Father's way of letting the people know Him that it was through His Son Jesus Christ, quoting John 3:16. and followed by John 1:1 supported it with John 14:6. the discussion became pleasant & i must say alive.

then they mentioned the Holy Spirit as a force, i told them the Holy Spirit is not just a force but a Person in fact He is the Third Person of God, who was the ever present power of God when He created the earth & man quoting Gen. 1:1 & 26 that if the Holy Spirit is a mere force why would the Father address Him as "us" and "we" making Him equal with the God of the universe.

mentioning also that the word of God is very rich and very vast that if we try to interpret it with our own mind & intellect we'll be at a lost.
that's why a lot of people are deceived by doctrines of men because they are trying to interpret the Word from their own intellect. that we need the Holy Spirit to guide us to the truth quoting John 16:12-15, 14:16 & 26. without the Holy Spirit to guide us we will not be able to understand the truth of the word. revelation is far different from interpretation, interpretation is of men but revelation is of the God by the person of the Holy Spirit.

the sharing was ended up with me praying for them to be illuminated by the Holy Spirit through divine revelation, at first they were in confusion if they would consent in me praying for them, but i told them that i always ended up my sharing of the Word with prayer, and also told them to seek the word themselves relying wholly on the revelation from God, to search the word diligently with a new approach an open mind and heart, that they should test and examine every doctrines they hear and not rely on their leaders alone, but that they need to hear from others as well...

while doing all these, in my heart i was asking the Holy Spirit to guide me to the right scriptures to be given strong emphasis that would really send piercing message to their hearts that will cause them to really think and analyze..

to God be the glory...

[unmeritedGRACE]

Some JW people over the years come to my door and talk about Heven! it depend on how mind strong I am that day .on how deep I will go in talk.
they seem to realy go for the striving for heven topic.. on how I should be so into that! and How I should be seeking to go to heaven. more than any thing. or how to try to ..Earn.. my way there!
Well for one thing.
You cant earn it!
We ALL have sinned! and we always do!
and the Bible says (Ephesians ch 2:ver 8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

(Isaiah ch.64 ver 6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
So I know we cant Earn our way there!

So When I think of Heven yes its a great place .. But
If I Love my husband.. I mean Real Love! remember that hoped for word?
Its about Him! the person.. that I love!
Not what he owns or gives me!
That is the key to a deeper relationship with the lord!
Him ! Loving Him !
look at this word >> Him<< Its not about His Stuff!
This Man Bore ..You'r.. punishment on that cross!
He took upon himself You'r Judgement For your Sins!
To Free You!
and this loving King. wants to share all he has with us!
but a lot of people Prize His Stuff!
or Look at him as a means to an end! what they can get!
What about what he did for you?
Who can you think of that has done more for you?
So WHY?? don't we strive to get to know this person better?
instead of seeking his stuff!

what I Love.... to say is..

if Jesus said.. HEY! I changed my mind. we are are going to live on the moon!

then where would alot of people seek for their glory?

its about Him ! the person.

and I don't care about his Stuff!

I want only to Love Him!
serve Him !
Be With Him!

so ok moon! yay!
I could be with Jesus!

just Knowing What he savied us From ! should be good enough for us truely! so why the strong qwest for heven?

how about a qwest for to have the closest walk we can with the person that did the most.. loved you the most. and most fathful to you the most Jesus!

boy they get hot over that topic. gee! :embarasse

[Maureen]

well spoken UnmeritedGrace
I agree whole heartedly with each and every word spoken
Praise be to the King of Kings, for loving us, wretches though we are, He wants us, He doesn't need us.

Oh for that closer walk with thee Lord.

Tell them this

#1. Most Jehovah Witnesses religious organization elders know that the true name for the Heavenly Father is YHWH and is pronounced Yahweh, however the majority of them still use Jehovah because that's what was handed down to them from their founder "Charles Taze Russell".

The Jehovah Witnesses were formed due to what they believed was corruption in mainstream Christianity that came from the Roman Catholic religion.

The Catholics were using the name Jehovah long before the Jehovah Witnesses. They borrowed that name from the Roman Catholic church.

#2. The name Jehovah was invented by Roman Catholic Pope Leo X.'s confessor Peter Galatin ("De Arcanis Catholicæ Veritatis," 1518, folio xliii.),and this name error has been passed down from the Roman Catholic Church ever since.

The letter "J" was the last letter to be added too the English alphabet, and is the most modern letter.

The Jehovah Witnesses don't like the Catholic Church or it's Pope at all.

Tell them the above facts about the name Jehovah, and they might start thinking. If they changed their name, that would simply show they were in error for years, so I doubt they will.

Also the the word "hovah" means "destroyer or ruiner". Je-hovah would mean "the destroyer".

Maybe some here don't like the above info, but it's a true fact that anybody can verify online.

Also this has worked for changing many Jehovah Witnesses -> Many of the older Watchtower magazines and publications and Charles Taze Russell books contain many false prophecies. They used to predict things all the time and even give dates. Well those things never happened and clearly proves they were false witnesses giving false testimonies long ago. Anybody can buy that old stuff on Ebay real cheap. Charles Taze Russell was deep into Egyptian Mythology. Many of his older books have the Eye of Horus and more Pagan stuff on/in them. Their foundation was unstable from the start.

I'm not here to slander others. We all have much to learn, and there are truths and errors in every denomination - religious movements.
Some churces and preachers are much better than others though!

Our salvation is personal and Yahweh knows our hearts, and I think we have all learned from mistakes we made in our past.

The true disciples of Yahshua are those who will love others (John 13:35), and the kingdom comes in power (1 Cor 4:20). Love is the power over evil (1 John 4:8).

We can only plant the good seeds and lead others to Yahshua, and do alot of praying too!

[Maureen]

But surely Jehovah is the name for God in the Old Testament.
so how does that match up with being the "the destroyer" ?
I'm just curious, not being condemning.

Blessings Maureen,

The name Jehovah was created and first used by the Roman Catholic church in 1518. It's now found in many English Bibles, but not all of them.

The majority of Christian, Mormon and Jehovah denominations started in America after the freedom of religion act was established, and they borrowed the name Jehovah from the Roman Catholic church, and that name it ended up in the KJV.

The name of the Heavenly Father has always been YHWH and pronounced Yahweh.

Most all Christian Bible scholars and many more preachers now know His true name is Yahweh, and His name is also found in the original Septuagint, and ancient Greek manuscripts, the Tetragrammaton and even in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

The majority of English Bibles had removed His name Yahweh 6079 times times and replaced His name with Lord, and 4-5 times replaced His name with Jehovah. The word Hovah from strongs #1943 and #1942 RUIN:-MISCHIEF - DESTROYER RUINER.

There are a few Bibles today that now use Yahweh, but in the coming years there will be many more. (The ISR Scriptures is a real good one, and Paleo Times Scriptures are good, and the HRV Bible ok.

There is much more information about this online, and many are from well known Christian sites.

Here are only two of 6079 scriptures that you can see His name in:

Rom 10:13 Whosoever shall call upon the name of Yahweh shall be saved.

And Messiah isn't even coming back until people say (Mat 23:39 For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF YAHWEH.

 

[LornaDoone]

But surely Jehovah is the name for God in the Old Testament.

Taken from the introduction to the 1995 New Revised Standard Version, on the translation of the 'Tetragrammation' (Divine Name):

'...Whilst it almost, if not quite certain, that the name was originally pronounced 'Yahweh', this pronunciation was not indicated when the Masoretes added vowel sounds to the consonantal Hebrew text. To the four consonants YHWH of the Name, which had come to be regarded as too sacred to be pronounced, they attached vowel signs indication that in its place should be read the Hebrew Adonai meaning 'Lord', or Elohim meaning God.

Ancient Greek translators employed the Kyrios (Lord) for the Name. The Vulgate (RC) likewise used the Latin word Dominus (Lord). The form 'Jehovah' is of late medieval origin; it is a combination of the consonants of the Divine Name and the vowels attatched to it by the Masoretes but belonging to an entirely different word.

Although the ASV (1901) had used 'Jehovah' to render the Tetraggrammaton (the sound of Y being represented by J and the sound of W by V, as in Latin), for two reason [the committee the translated the NRSV] returned to the familiar usage of the KJV since

(i) the word 'Jehovah' does not accurately represent any form of the Name ever used in Hebrew,

(ii) the use of any proper name for the one and only God, as though there were other gods from whom the true God had to be distinguished, began to be discontinued in Judaism before the Christian era and is inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church.

Blessings.

Reply: To LornaDoone

Peace LornaDoone,

Much of the information you quoted above is good, however not exactly correct.

The Rabbis believe that only they are permitted to write and speak the name YHWH/Yahweh. Therefore most all Judisim Jews will say Adoni or Hashem. Hashem means "the four letter name", as the Hebrew doesn't have vowels like we do in English.

The Hebrew uses aligned dots under it's letters for pronunciation of words and names. Those dots are used exactly like our vowels, but look different.


Hebrew word Adoni means: "Master or Ruler". It does not mean Lord, because Lord is not Hebrew. The name Yahweh doesn't mean Master or Lord either.

The problem is many English Bibles used the Roman Latin Vulgate to translate the whole Bible, and they also borrowed the name Jehovah from it's creator "The Roman Catholic church".

The Torah and Tanach "OT" did not originate in Latin, and all the Children of Israel and even the Jews know the true name is YHWH, and the Rabbis pronounce His name as Yahweh. All the old scrolls contain His name thousands of times.

So if they do proper translation from the original Hebrew into English, then the English Bibles will all say Yahweh, and some now do.

Lord isn't even a name, and who has the right to remove and replace the most high name Yahweh out of His original inspired Holy Word? Adding and Removing from His inspired Word is a sin.

Even if the English Bible uses the Latin Lord titles, then what name do people need to call on to be saved? in (Rom 10:13)

What name must people say before Yahshua will come back?, and think why did Yahshau say that? (Mat 23:39)

_______________________________________________________________

Want to see why Yahshua said that?, and where Lord came from?

Because in those olden days the Romans conquered and brought their pagan sun gods into Israel, and many in Israel started worshipping them.

Here are two of many examples of what happened.

Jer 23:27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal

Hosea 2:16 And it shall be at that day, saith Yahweh, that thou shalt call me Ishi, and shalt call me no more Baali.

Look at the Pagan sun god "BAAL and BAALI" then look those up in the strongs. There are more examples if you need.

_______________________________________________________________


Lord and Jehovah were never His name. His name was and still is Yahweh, and He said His people will know His Name (ISA 52:6)

HalleluYah - Praise Yahweh

 

[LornaDoone]

Peace and greetings to you Brother His Child.

I absolutely agree with you that 'Jehovah' is most certainly not His name: it was during an experience with a dear friend who returned to the JW's that the matte of the Divine Name first came up for me - it was very early in my walk with God and a matter on which I prayed on a great deal. I was led to my NRSV Bible (from which the materiel I qouted is taken) since what I was given very clearly was 'man made name'.

This is taken from the on Jewish Encyclopedia, on the subject of the Tetragrammaton:

"...There is no instance of it, however, in Canticles, Ecclesiastes, or Esther; and in Daniel it occurs 7 times (in ch. ix.)—a fact which in itself shows the late date of these books, whose authors lived at a period when the use of the Tetragrammaton was already avoided, its utterance having become restricted both in the reading of the Bible and still more in colloquial speech. For it was substituted Adonai; and the fact that this name is found 315 times in combination with "Yhwh" and 134 times alone shows that the custom of reading the Tetragrammaton as if written "Adonai" began at a time when the text of the Biblical books was not yet scrupulously protected from minor additions. This assumption explains most of the occurrences of "Adonai" before "Yhwh"; i.e., the former word indicated the pronunciation of the latter. (emphasis mine).

The point about whom we call on to save us is well taken: we must ask Him to make sure it is Him on whom we call.

But let us also remember what He Himself said about who He is:

Exodus 3:13,14'But Moses said to God, 'If I come to the Israelites and say to them "The God of your ancestors has sent me to you", and they ask me, "What is his name?" what shall I say to them?' God said to Moses 'I Am Who I am'. He said further, 'Thus you shall say to the Israelites,'I Am has sent me to you.'

Blessings.

 

[Maureen]

That was very informative indeed, but how is all going to know that Jehovah is not his name?
I have a Cd by Helen Shapiro she is s Jewess wonderfully saved by Jesus and she sings about Yahshua Yahweh and Adonai
Imagine the word 'Lord' not even being correct, that now has dumb founded me.

Hashem YHWH rings something for me in my childhood days, perhaps we sang a chorus or something all I know is this has meaning to me.

Why do Pastors not know about all this, the name Jehovah is still sung about in Hymns and read from in our Bible. Makes one wonder.

Our we wrong in saying 'Lord' then?
it is a name we use much. Our Bible is full of the name Lord. Is it wrong to refer to Jesus as our Lord?
This is confusiing. Surely Jesus understands our meaning He knows we don't speak His language, but we have to have a translation of some sorts.

Hello Sister Maureen.

'Jehovah' is a mis-translation that sprung up during the later half of the medival period that became very popular. I do not and will not use it because I believe that it is wrong to do so.

However I truly do not believe that it is wrong to use 'Lord', since I believe it is within the context of 'Master' and 'Ruler': He is my Master, my Ruler, my King, and I do believe that Jesus understands our meanings. He knows every thought in our hearts and our minds before we do.

Responce to LornaDoone and Maureen

Blessings LornaDoone and Maureen,

Thank you both for your kind responces. This is a bit long and you might want to print it out for latter research. I do believe this is a salvation issue.

To Maureen: Some Pastors do know about this, and the name Yahweh, and many more are quickly coming to know His name.

To LornaDoone: You have found something very good. That's where Yahweh first gave His name to Moses. The I AM that I AM is not exactly correct, but is very close. Let me first explain.

Unlike English, the Hebrew language reads from right to left. The English reading from the Hebrew letters HWHY = YHWH, and His name is pronounced Yahweh in Hebrew and in English, etc..

Hebrew does not have the English letter W. Hebrew does have a letter that looks like a V, however it's not like the English V with a Vee sound. In Hebrew thier V sounds like our W as in Wa or We.

So you will find some people spelling his name YHVH, and that's part of where they messed up creating the name Jehovah, as Hebrew has no letter J, or V sound. The letter J is English and it came from French, and the letter J is only a few hundred years old.

So not only is Jehovah complete wrong pronunciation with the English J and V sounds, but the word hovah has a bad meaning as shown in my previous post.

If you look at strongs #3068 where they used the word LORD to replace his name thousands of times, even the strongs admits that HWHY is the original Hebrew name. So that clearly proves the Catholics replaced his name with LORD, because they were the first to do so, and they also created the name Jehovah. However it's also true that many Jewish student bibles now use Adoni, but because the Rabbis think only they can speak the most high name YHWH.

It was Moses that first asked the Heavenly Father to reveal His name within (Ex 3:13-15), and so that others could know and call Him by His name. His name YHWH is in the older scriptures over 7000 times, and even throughout the NT, and contained within most Jewish names for giving glory to His name.

A few quick examples:

* YAHshua = Yahweh is Salvation, was changed to Jesus and with two s's.
* MattithYahu = Gift of Yahweh, was changed to Matthew.
* EliYah = My Elohim is Yahweh, was changed to Elijah.
* YeshaYah = Salvation is from Yahweh, was changed to Isaiah.
* YirmeYah = Raised up by Yahweh, was changed to Jeremiah.
* ZachariYah = Remembered by Yahweh, was changed to Zachariah.
* HalleluYah = Praise Yahweh, was changed to Hallelujah and Alleluia.

As you can see they completely removed the name Yahweh out of His inspired Word, so how can people call on His name to be saved?

The divine name YHWH pronounced "Yahweh" means:
"I FOREVER WAS, I FOREVER WILL BE", as He continued to reply to Moses question within Ex 3:15 by also saying "this is My Name Forever" = "I Will Be Forever".

Another correct translation of His name is: "I always was, I always will be", or " I Was and I Will Be Forever". (They all have the same meanings).

Many Bible Scholars used to think His name meant "I will be that I will be" and that's where in English they came up with I AM that I AM. However He continued to respond to Moses question by concluding "this is my name forever". In Hebrew that shows an everlasting name, and I AM that I AM, or "I Will Be that I Will be" doesn't exactly show that.

The name YHWH means: I FOREVER WAS, I FOREVER WILL BE, or I ALWAYS WAS, I ALWAYS WIL BE.

Now you might see why many Israelites and Jews don't want to speak his name. Because His name says "I" twice, and they think if they utter His name, it would be like they are claiming to be Him by saying I, and YHWH means "I FOREVER WAS, I FOREVER WILL BE" because in Israel everbody knows each others name meaning, and especially the name meaning of YHWH.

So it's forbidden in Judisim for them to utter His devine name for that reason, however the entire Bible shows we are to give glory to His name, sing praises to His name, call on His name, and make His name known to others. Yahshua came in His Father's name, and he's not coming back until people say "Blessed is he who comes in the name YHWH".

In the olden days when the Romans conquored Israel, they brought in their pagan god BAAL, and that's who they first called Lord or Adoni, and they forgot the name YHWH for BAAL = "Lord - Adoni" as shown within Jer 23:27 and Hosea 2:16 (strongs #1168 & #1180)

Now consider it was the high preist Rabbi's that requested Yahshua to be murdered, and they also said their only King was Caesar (John 19:15, John 19:6), and it's the Roman Pope who claims to be the Father of the true church. So maybe you can see why they put Adoni/Lord and Jehovah in the modern Bibles. Because they both want to be the high preist, and to be followed".

The Roman Catholic church burned the two men "William Tyndale" and "John Wycliff" who where the first men to make the English bible available for the general public. The RCC also burned their bibles, because for over 1500 years the RCC wanted to control religion and they forbid anybody to have a bible.

The Romans also controlled Jerusalem for years, and corrupted their temples and more. After Wycliff and Tydale were dead, the RCC made their first public Bible and completely removed the name Yahweh and Yah, and added Lord and Jehovah within, then revised their Latin Vulgate. What a mess they created!

Many of the Christian denominations today were founded in America "one-three hundred years ago" and many after they broke away from the RCC, and many after the Freedom of Religon was declared in America. So most of them not knowing Hebrew borrowed the RCC Bibles to make their own Bibles, and/or they used mostly the available RCC revised Latin Vulgate for translation of the entire bible like the KJV did.

So that's why the word Lord and Jehovah stayed around so long in English bibles, but now everything is starting to change because Yahweh said His people will know His name (ISA 52:6) and Yahshua isn't even coming back until they proclaim His Father's name.

The above meaning of His name YHWH shows that He Alone is the ONLY EVERLASTING ALMIGHTY HEAVENLY FATHER that always existed, and always will exist. His Name shows that He is beyond the realm of time, or that He never had a beginning, and will never have an end. He is the only one true power and elohim over all, and the first living spirit that will always remain. In Hebrew that shows He is thee = "Everlasting Almighty Heavenly Father of all creation".

The short form name "Yah" as found in Psalms 68:4, and as used within many people's names is for giving Him glory, is for making His name known to others.

The meaning shows that He is their only Heavenly Father, only El-Shaddai = "Almighty Elohim" and only Salvation. (However everybody must come through Yahshua unto Yahweh "salvation". Nobody comes unto the Father but through him, because Yahshua is the Word of Yahweh (John 1:1, John 1:14, Rev 19:13) . The name Yahshua means Yahweh is Salvation.

Now this is very powerful that we can study latter if you want --> See Ex 23:20-22. The Jews always were told to obey him, and always had to go through him first, and he always was with the Father from his beginning. He was with their forefathers, and at the burning bush, and pliiar of a cloud, and destroyed the army after them, and much more. He beared the Father's name long ago as seen in Ex 23:20-21 even before the Word became flesh born in Bethlehem.

The name YHWH has a meaning that shows His personal identity, and only He has that identity. (His name is Him)

Yahweh want's everybody to personally know Him for who He always was and always will be. He want's everybody to know that He alone is the only true Everlasting Almighty Heavenly Father of all creation, and only Salvation and everlasting life spirit that enables/empowers all life through his son Yahshua who is the firstborn of all creation (Col 1:15-17). Also Gen says Let "US" make man in "our" image, and Yahshua was made in the image of Yahweh before the world was.

When people are sharing His Word, they should never replace His name in writing or in speech, or it won't be His inspired Word. It's a sin to add, alter, or remove from His inspired Word, and it's a sin to take His Name in vain "reduce effect, misuse, alter, empty, misuse, replace, lessen or make worth-less".

BTW, You may have noticed that both the words Lord and Master are used throughout the NT. Why both if they supposedly mean the same thing?

#1. Calling both the Father and Son Lord supports the RCC Trinity, as most people don't know who's who when those scriptures are verbally preached to them, and it attempts to make them coequal, or that they are the same person. The fact is, lot's of people are confused about that as result, and Yahweh is not the author of confusion.

#2 Calling on Yahweh is a salvation issue.

#3 Calling Yahshua your Master is also a salvation issue ->

Rom 10:9 because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth that Yahshua is Master, and shall believe in thy heart that Yahweh raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Check your bibles to see if they used Lord instead of Master in the above scripture, and how they also use master in those same bibles in within other scriptures.

There is no other true Rabbi/Preacher/Teacher that will be able to support anybody on judgment day besides Yahshua, and Yahweh is our only Father.


I hope this has helped.

Blessing in Master Yahshua,

His Child
