Messenger of the Name Interview with Dan and Maria of Hebrew Nation Radio
Dan and Maria interview Mark Manning (dead link to MP3 )
The Creator of all things revealed his name a staggering 6828+ times in the TaNaK called the "old testament". Through the years his name has been "banned" from use and covered with replacements terms such as "lord" and "god". However his true name is commanded to be used even if it means death. This video will reveal the truth regarding the Name of the Almighty. www.youtube.com...
Maria Merola interviewed Mark Manning from Greenville North Carolina on her weekly podcast. Mark has done an enormous amount of study and research regarding the sacred name of God (Yah). In this podcast, Maria and Mark discuss the many variations used today for the name of God, and Jesus/Yeshua.
Mark also reveals why the sacred name of God has been concealed for hundreds of years by the scribes and Pharisees who believe that the name of the Almighty is too "holy to pronounce." But scripture commands us to "call upon the name of the Lord" and this is why Satan has tried to conceal what that name is.
In these last days, the Holy Spirit is drawing his remnant back to the "ancient paths" of understanding the Torah (5 books of Moses) and restoring us back to "one pure language" and the creator's true name (Zephaniah 3:9).

James=Jacob or Yakov
Judas=Yehuda
John=Yahannon
Mary=Mirriam
Joseph=Yoseph
What I find interesting is that in most of the names in their proper format is that Gods true Name is inbeded in them.. In effect "they" blotted out Gods Name!edit on 5-7-2013 by EvanB because: (no reason given)

Hello members
I have for a long time wondered about the names in the bible, and how the church have decieved the population in the respective countries by changing bible names into something more suitable.
For eksample John the Baptist - wonderd if any people in the middle east ever was named john?
In france his name is Jean
In spain his name is Juan
In denmark his name is Johannes
In Italy his name is Giovanni
Anybody know what his REAL name actually was?
And this disinformation goes for many many names in the bible just so people better can relate to them or is there a better explanation to this?
Would it have changed anything for the succes of christianity if they kept the original names?
The purpose of this is not dumb trash on religious people - but out of curiousity
I hope there is some good suggestions out there

Dear Minus,
Hispanics spell Jesus' name the same as English speakers; but, the pronounce it "Hey Zeus". I am pretty sure they are talking about the same person. Your question I usually hear from extreme fundamentalists and Jehovah Witnesses. What does it matter what the named sounded like or was spelled like? These names had meanings associated with them.

Let me tell you a true story.
I met this lady, she was a missionary and went to Papua New Guinea to live with a tribe that had never seen a white person. She spent a few decades with them, learning their language and giving it a written form. She then took the written language and wrote their first bible for them. In the bible it talks about how wheat is the staff of life; but, these people had no wheat. Their fundamental food was a tree sap that was rolled and semi-dried. She used the word that they had for this goo to explain the idea behind fundamental food source. She wasn't trying to be tricky. She was trying to explain a concept.
A few years ago she began traveling the nation with some of the tribesmen, some of whom had gone on to college. I am sure that she was able to show them bread and wheat and explain it at that time.

Its a good story, thank you for sharing But thats a little of what i thought about, that representatives of the bible changes the story to secure new members - im sure she had no bad intentions for those people at all, but would she be able to stick to the bible concept and have the same affect? in this case im not sure anyone would have converted without the twist and small white lies, What do you think?

It is not a "massive" change and doesn't effect the message. Translations are tough because we don't all have the same words or concepts. When I preach I have to be translated into Spanish. So, I am speaking in English about things that were written in Hebrew to people who speak Spanish. There could be some confusion. The message I teach is simple, love God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. It translates well enough even if they use different words.

God is NOT religious.
That would be the imposter: AKA "the god of THIS world".
Religion and God's WORD have NOTHING in common.
