I take how I address God very seriously. This is a video that has given me something to think on.. At times, I do fear Him. It's not about being frightened of His wrath. It's more about the times when I am upset that I have done wrong in His sight. Even when I don't realize it. He is long-suffering. I am so glad He is. I want to address Him in the proper way.

So lately I’ve seen some “Christians” insert Yahuah in place of Baal/Lord in the Bible claiming it’s the origin name of “God”. Can you comment on that or make a video. Thanks

[@gclmedia]

Thank you for bringing this up-it’s such an important topic! In my video ‘Why Was God’s Name Replaced with Lord,’ kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZTconaiasiAfKssi=f6Egu2LgOnZetoy_ I addressed this misconception about the name Yahuah. While some groups suggest that Yahuah was the original name of God and claim it was replaced with Baal or Lord in translations, there’s no biblical or linguistic evidence to support this. The Bible consistently uses YHWH (commonly replaced with LORD in translations out of reverence), and the idea that Yahuah is the original name often stems from misunderstandings of Hebrew and history. If this topic continues to interest people, I’d love to dive deeper into it in a dedicated video. Thank you for the great suggestion, and I encourage you to check out that video if you haven’t already-it clarifies many similar misconceptions!

Yahuah. Yod hey U hey. Was the W is simply a double U! Have to learn paleo Hebrew not modern Hebrew Modern Hebrew is not Hebrew(Ibrey) is closer to Aramaic, Yiddish.

[@cycribbs]

Brother I have a question for you. This is kind of bothering me because of my stance on today's modern Hebrew or what they call Hebrew. I don't believe what they speak today is Hebrew at all but European Yiddish. I've got a lot of the ancient alphabets going all the way back from the Phoenicians Canaanites, even got images of the tablets of curses they found through archeology. What Moses had wrote, and it's ancient paleo. But on the 1611 KJV at the very top you'll see the four inscriptions, I know that's not Hebrew, is it your opinion that that's Aramaic? I've had issues with that now I am a King James only and I support the 1611 as the word of God, and all modern versions are not. But with those four inscriptions on the very top, I wanted to get your opinion on that..

[@TerrellSturgis]

💯

[@gclmedia]

Thank you for your thoughtful question, brother-I can see how much time and passion you’ve poured into studying the ancient scripts and history, and I appreciate your desire to dig deeper into these important topics. To address your question: The inscriptions you see at the top of the 1611 King James Bible, particularly the Tetragrammaton (YHWH), are written in what is often referred to as Aramaic or ‘modern’ Hebrew script. This is a square script derived from Aramaic, which became the standard written form of Hebrew during and after the Babylonian exile (6th century BCE). It replaced the older Paleo-Hebrew script, which was similar to the Phoenician alphabet and is the script likely used during Moses’ time. You’re absolutely correct that ancient Paleo-Hebrew was the script Moses would have written in, and many archaeological findings, like the curse tablets you mentioned, align with this. Over time, as the Jewish people adopted Aramaic during the exile, the script used for Hebrew evolved into what we see today. However, the language itself-grammar, syntax, and vocabulary-remains Hebrew, even though the script has changed. As for the idea that modern Hebrew is Yiddish, this is a common misconception. While Yiddish is a distinct language that incorporates Hebrew characters, vocabulary, and grammar alongside Germanic roots, modern Hebrew is a continuation of biblical Hebrew, albeit with some updates for contemporary use. The pronunciation and certain nuances have shifted over time, but the core language is still rooted in Scripture. Regarding your concern about the inscriptions on the 1611 KJV: While they are written in this ‘modern’ script, the words themselves remain Hebrew. This doesn’t detract from their significance or authenticity but reflects the historical shift in how Hebrew was written post-exile. I really admire your commitment to the 1611 King James Bible as the word of God and your desire to understand these details. If you’d like, I can explore this topic further in a video, perhaps diving into the evolution of Hebrew script and how it connects to the language of the Bible. Let me know if that would be helpful-thank you again for sharing your thoughts and questions!

[@cycribbs]

@gclmedia I appreciate your response brother, but here's my issue with today's modern Hebrew. When you look at the alphabet it's the exact same as Yiddish, and when you look at the Yiddish, it looks exactly like Aramaic which I believe this is the alphabet that was used during the time of the Babylonian captivity. As I dig into this what comes to my mind is there leading us into a world government a one world religion and a one-world language taking us back to the Tower of Babel. Like they use these different names for Jesus or God and when I Google certain names, like goddess Usha, a lot of people like to use yahusha, when you break that word down God/goddess, say a lot of these different pagan gods for feminine gods. See my problem with today's Hebrew is it's not the same spelling, and those people over there in Jerusalem are not the original Jews of the Old testament. They're called Ashkenazi Jews which that word itself draws a lot of questions. For one the tribe of ashkenaz comes from Japheth not Noah's righteous son Shem. That would exclude ashkenaz from being Jew at all. But then when you look at the last four digits of Ashkenazi, and you study the Bolshevik revolution and these Jews that killed millions of Christians in Russia, then world war II where that four letter word NAZI, ( Ashkenazi ) you start realizing that today, Israel is nothing but a political Zionist movement, to bring the world back to ancient Babylon, the worship of their false gods and the language from that time. It's my understanding that Aramaic, which I have several copies of Paleo Aramaic, I don't know if it's called that but, which turned into imperial Aramaic to modern Aramaic, they're all the same. Today's modern Hebrew, the same alphabet and I do understand there's different words that mean different things, but I don't have Aramaic in any of my translation apps so I can't compare modern Hebrew to the ancient words used in Aramaic so that's where I am having a lot of issues. I want to compare the words of today's modern Hebrew and Yiddish to the aromatic alphabet which is the same. Do you understand what I'm saying I don't know if I'm asking this right cuz KZbin messenger, keeps cutting off as I try to make my comments and it's getting irritated lol and it's not usually something that I practice to ask people things on here but as I listen to you I believe you're genuine your wholehearted and you have a lot of knowledge of this topic, which I am getting a grasp on but just to get someone else's view who actually studies this. So I hope I'm asking this right it would be different in a conversation. And again thanks for your response

[@cycribbs]

@gclmedia Yes please do another video addressing this topic. I still have an issue with today's modern Hebrew, if it's going back to the Aramaic alphabet it's the same exact just as the same exact alphabet is used with Yiddish even though I know there's a lot of differences in grammar and words and whatnot. It's still the exact same alphabet. I just don't see today's modern Hebrew being any thing related to ancient Hebrews seeing how the ancient Hebrew was really an Paleo Aramaic. I've only gotten myself involved with this topic just over the past few months where I study biblical prophecies of end times and Old testament and New testament and I look do read the apocrypha and I also read the book of Enoch, jubilees and jasher, but I'm very careful that if it doesn't line up with Scripture I throw it out but these three books do. The apocrypha, especially first and second Esdras, if it says like it says in Ezekiel and the word of the Lord came unto me saying, that's inspired. And those two books I just mentioned, say that in several places. Do you think that during the time Jerome translated the older Hebrew Bible and the Greek that he could have changed any of the words or change anything at all in the apocrypha. I guess in other words is it possible that anything in the apocrypha could have been changed during the translations?

[@gasmoney416]

Don’t those ancient Jewish traditions take His name in vain? By not using it, that’s technically removing it which then reduces it to nothing.

[@gclmedia]

Great question! The ancient Jewish practice of using Adonai instead of pronouncing YHWH was meant to show deep reverence for God’s name and also to preserve its correct pronunciation, as the exact way to say YHWH might have been lost over time without this tradition. But it raises a thought-provoking point: What does it really mean to ‘take the Lord’s name in vain’? Is it just about saying His name, or does it involve how we reflect His character and authority in our lives? I’d love to hear your thoughts on what truly honors His name!

[@users4327]

​@@gclmediait is about saying things, spreading messages and testifying that they're from God. While it is not true and you just doing it for your own reasons. Thus using His name in vain.

[@janic31uca55]

May i ask what heeish writting you are refering to in which his name was taken out so i may see for myself

[@gclmedia]

Blessings! I am not exactly sure what you are asking. But, I appreciate your interest in diving deeper into this topic! If I am seeing your question correctly, the writing I’m referring to is primarily in the ancient Hebrew Scriptures where the divine name YHWH appears. In later Jewish traditions, the name was often replaced with Adonai (meaning 'Lord') in spoken practice, and many English Bible translations followed this tradition by substituting YHWH with 'LORD' in all caps. If you’re looking to see the original occurrences for yourself, I recommend checking out resources like the Leningrad Codex or the Dead Sea Scrolls, which preserve YHWH in its original form. Modern tools like the Blue Letter Bible or interlinear Hebrew-English Bibles can also help you identify where YHWH appears in the text. Let me know if I answered what you are asking...

[@janic31uca55]

@gclmedia May, i say that as we have followed history the so called jews which thought it wise to preserve his name after it was stated were infact the very ones with hidden agendas sinces it was never spoken to them by Yahuah to hide his name. May i also say That to have a personal relationship with someone is to know them and call them by name. That is why when Moses said and when they say who sent you tell Them my name i am that i am Or what the correct hebrew version of that is so when we act as if it do not matter That seems a bit wild jusr a thought

[@gclmedia]

Thank you for sharing your perspective-it’s an important thought to consider! You’re absolutely right that having a personal relationship with someone often involves knowing and calling them by name. When God revealed His name to Moses as ‘I AM that I AM’ (or Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh in Hebrew), it was a profound moment of self-disclosure, emphasizing His eternal, self-existent nature. However, the practice of not pronouncing YHWH (the Tetragrammaton) arose from a desire to honor the holiness of His name and avoid misuse, as instructed in the Ten Commandments. While it’s true that this practice wasn’t directly commanded by God, it reflects a historical effort to protect His name from being taken in vain. Unfortunately, as you’ve pointed out, such traditions can sometimes lead to unintended consequences, like creating distance from the name itself. Your point about knowing God personally is so powerful-it’s not just about His name but understanding His character, presence, and covenant with His people. The name YHWH reveals so much about who He is, and I agree that we should approach it with both reverence and intimacy. I really appreciate you sharing this thought-it adds so much depth to the discussion. Let me know if you’d like to explore this topic further together!

God and Lord are titles not names. They replace the true name of the most high Yah with the pagen title Lord. He said to call on the name not titles, the messiah said he came in his father's name, Halleluyah, so when you say these pagen titles your not calling the name. Shalom

[@gclmedia]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! While it’s true that God and Lord are often used as titles, in biblical Hebrew, there isn’t a strict distinction between names and titles as we understand them today. In Hebrew, a name (shem) encompasses much more than a label-it reflects a person’s identity, essence, role, or purpose. This means what we might consider a 'title' in modern terms, like Adonai (Lord) or El Shaddai (God Almighty), actually function as a name because it describes who God is and what He does, as defined by shem. I cover this more in-depth in Why Was God’s Name Replaced with 'LORD' in the Bible? check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZTconaiasiAfKssi=k5yx5THDipu0zlOE When YHWH (the Tetragrammaton) is replaced with Lord in translations, it reflects a tradition of reverence, ensuring His name was not misused. This doesn’t diminish the significance of God’s name but rather emphasizes His character and authority. Similarly, when the Messiah said He came in His Father’s name, it points to embodying the essence, authority, and purpose of YHWH. The most important thing is understanding the depth behind these terms and how they help us draw closer to the Most High. Thank you for starting this important conversation-Shalom and blessings to you!

[@DuaneGaines-n6q]

@gclmedia ok my brother why did they take out the name almost 7000 times replacing it with Lord, Lord in hebrew means baal. Encyclopedia Britannica 11th edition says God, superhuman beings of heathen mythologies. Ok just like Halleluyah which means praise ye Yah, praise Yahuah. Ok just like exodus 3:15- this is my name forever and to all generations. Ok just like prov 30:4, Isaiah 12:4, Isaiah 42:8, Isaiah 52:6, psalms 7:17, psalms 8:1, psalms 9:2, psalms 83:18, psalms 124:8, 1st kings18:24, exodus 20:7- taking the name in vain, meaning to bring to nothingness, meaningless. Like psalms 68:4 ( how can I sing praises to his name and I don't know it). Oh what about the ineffable name doctrine, here's the kicker these true names have meaningsand it matters to the most high Yah. You see my brother the creator of all Yah and the messiah are set apart and don't share esteem. There are many God's and Lords but who are we calling on. Halleluyah, shalom

Isnt Baal the Brother of Yahweh in the Canaanite Pantheon? And why would we be serving any Canaanite deity when none of us are Canaanites?

[@gclmedia]

Thank you for asking this question! The idea that Baal is the 'brother' of YHWH comes from some academic theories suggesting that early Israelite religion developed within a Canaanite cultural context and initially shared some terminology and concepts with Canaanite religion. However, it’s important to clarify that YHWH "does not" appear as a figure in the Canaanite pantheon. He is unique and distinct as the one true God, the Creator of heaven and earth, and completely separate from the false gods of the Canaanites. The confusion often arises because Israel emerged in a region surrounded by Canaanite cultures, and their language and religious terminology sometimes overlapped. For instance, the term El was used both as a generic term for 'god' in Semitic languages and as the name of a Canaanite deity. However, the Bible makes it clear that YHWH stands apart, revealed as the God who delivered His people from Egypt and established a covenant with them. As for why we would reference or serve any Canaanite deity when we’re not Canaanites: The issue isn’t about nationality but about faithfulness to God. The name 'Baal' was corrupted through its association with idolatry, which is why God explicitly rejected it in Hosea 2:16. This distinction highlights God's desire for His people to worship Him in truth and love, without confusion or compromise. I really appreciate your curiosity on this-it’s such an important discussion. Let me know if you’d like me to explore this topic further in a video or expand on any part of it!

[@oldschool5]

@@gclmedia I appreciate you. Yes Sir, I understand the narrative that the authors of the old testament were trying to establish. However, History was not the primary concern of the old testament authors that spoke on behalf of these deities. They seem to be more focused on telling a story. I'm more focused on the actual historicity of these deities than the storyline. Based on what i'm told is that the Hebrew language comes from the Language of Canaan. We know that modern day Israel was called the Land of Canaan way before we called it Israel.. So we are pretty much dealing with Canaanite People, Canaanite Land, Canaanite Language, Canaanite Pagan Rituals and a Canaanite Pantheon. You spoke about El. To my understanding, El (Father of Yahweh) was the Chief Deity within the Canaanite Pantheon at one time. Kind of like Cronos (Father of Zeus) in the Greek Pantheon and Yahweh would be like Zeus. Much of the archeological findings that support this predate any type of biblical literature that we have access to is my understanding.

[@77saint77posttrib]

@gclmedia dear fellow believer in Father Yhwh and Yhwh the Son. As true believers, we seek knowledge of our Father and Savior His Son. Obviously you and I have had the opportunity to study such subjects. Most are comfortable with what they are taught by teachers and preachers about their faith in salvation. My studies with prayerful reliance on Yhwn grant me understanding. Here's my take. The apostles wrote in the most part Greek because of the universal exposure throughout the Greek and Roman empire. In Greek, they wrote Kyrios Pater Theos for Yhwh Father Elohim being translated to English as Lord Father God. Many other languages also transliteration to their own languages such as Hindi, Arabic, Latin Ethiopian Chinese etc... As I sought reassurance from Father God and Jesus through the Holy Spirit I noticed the same Greek to Hebrew back to English created f or instance Lord Jesus Christ from the Greek Kyrios Iesous Christus to Hebrew to English would be Adoni Yahushua/Yeshua Messiah/Mashiach. I was convinced that ALL was correct!! I love the hebrew but realized that Jesus and the apostles NEVER commanded that the hebrew be ONLY used. What convinced me further was when certain sects began to demand that only hebrew Variants were to be used, and this was required by Father and Son. This did not bear out in my spirit. It seemed to cause major confusion and divisive doctrines. I remembered how the name Jesus had been censured for decades by the secular world in the social public square by media, government, and education at the workplace, etc... Then, within the past decade or so, the name Jesus was being attacked from within the faith itself. Having a great concern for this language doctrine my final analysis was formed to the point that Father God and Jesus through the Holy Spirit knows who is truly calling on Yhwh from Whatever language and that the strict adherence to only transliteration to and from hebrew was a false doctrine causing confusion. Grace peace and blessings. I have decided to attempt to clarify the truth on this subject when I come across it.
