I'm afraid I have to take issue
Aleph doesn't really have a meaning in Hebrew it's just a letter
Aleph bet is the Hebrew way of saying alphabet
Mother is actually pronounced eema and water is mime not mem
Son is Ben I would be for example ben roderick
I have no idea where you got your information from but as a Hebrew speaker you couldn't have got it more wrong
Good luck with the post

Truth: Never believe a man interpreting the words of God.
I only believe what the supreme being delivers to me first hand everything else is rubbish.
Some one once told me that "If the fish aren't interested in the bait, try another bait."

I'll make it real simple for you OP; God doesn't have a religion, and no man should act as if he understands Gods will or capabilities.
And by the way, we live in an infinite universe. That means there is no beginning, no end. It's always existed, yet it never has. Two things to note from this:
1. If there is a Creator to our Universe, he would be so far out of the human capacity of perception for us to know. It is unadulterated ignorance to claim to know the inner-workings of God, citing a man-made book written 3,500 years ago and that is paraphrased to subjugate hate and bigotry in today's society (Holier than thou).
2. We live in an infinite universe. More planets in the cosmos than grains of sand on Earth. Yet God sent his only son to save us from our sins, and again, refer to man-made paraphrased subjective 'holy book' that preaches hatred, murder, etc to prove it.
It's okay to believe in religion, but if you're claiming Jesus is the truth you better accept ALL of his supposed 'holiness' as undeniable facts. The ones where it says the punishment for working on Sabbath is death, ones where Moses orders his followers to murder in the name of him, God sending a lion to maul a man to make a point, and the list goes on, and on, and on.
But please, by all means, continue your cherry-picking nature of using passages that you personally like. Just whatever you do, don't sit there and claim ANY sort of truth when you have NONE.
It really is that simple. Your subjective interpretation to a book is not a truth.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but quoting the bible to proove that it's accurate isn't called proof.
It's called a logical fallacy.
Or stupidity, depending on your perspective.

Absolutely nothing in my day to day life suggests even an inkling of anything religious whatsoever.
It only ever comes from other people telling me it's the "truth", when I have the ability to discern it myself.
Jesus Christ is just a phrase now, there's no real existence or meaning behind it or him,
except maybe blind obedience?
I would've have any doubts if the world was as it was 2000 years ago when all the Bible was being written?
Surely it would have been obvious then?

Truth can not be proven through the interpretation of the bible.
Just as soon as you can prove what is written there in is Fact, you may be able to sway a few.
It reminds me of a joke I once heard. .. . .. .
What do you call a Nun in a Blender ?. .. .. . a Twisted Sister. .. .. ..
Which is what you have just done here to "Prove" Truth.

How can you explain this away as mere accidental narrative from those who could not possibly have written it down with this level of meaning.

Dear EnochWasRight,
Here's the bad news. I think your OP jumped to a conclusion before the groundwork was properly laid. That confused the people responding, and allowed them to miss the point completely. They fell back into the arguments they have been accustomed to make. (Not all of the posters, sorry, but you can find them easily enough.
Here's the good news. That link goes to an incredible site! I'm am really grateful you've provided it. There is information there which I've never dreamed of. All the "rationalists," heck, everybody, should spend some time there.
I clicked on the "About" tab to see with whom I was dealing. I'm completely ignorant on the subject, so I suppose I could be fooled, but this looks serious and solid. Here's one paragraph from that section.
After researching the Ancient Hebrew alphabet I discovered that each letter was a picture and this picture provided a meaning to that letter. I also found that the meaning of a Hebrew word could be found within the letters of that word. A good example of this is the Hebrew word (av) meaning "father." The first letter in this word is the aleph, a picture of an ox head and meaning "strength." The second letter is the beyt, a picture of a tent. When the meaning of these two letters are combined we have "the strength of the house," the father.
What Cody is missing, and so did I, is that this is not about modern Hebrew. This is the ancient stuff, where a letter is more than just a letter.
Honestly, I don't know where his study leads, but this is valuable. I would wager that none of us have looked at the Ancient Hebrew language before. I hope to learn a lot there.
Thanks again, EnochWasRight.
With respect,
Charles1952
