The Protoindo European god Yayash, Yaë or Yave, a protective god whose symbol was a tree, signifying possibly '"walking", "going", "a pilgrim", has been dated back to the Indus River valley, circa 2900 B.C.E. He has been identified with the Turko Syrian Yahveh, a "sacred animal or organization".

"Yahweh appears to have been originally a sky god - a god of thunder and lightning. He was associated with mountains and was called by the enemies of Israel 'a god of the hills'. His manifestation was often as fire, as at Mount Sinai and in the burning bush." "A shorter form, 'Yah', was also used (Exodus 15:2) and some scholars believe that this is the older form, originating in an exclamation to God - 'Yah!' - which came to be accepted as the divine name. Others claim that it is from the root 'hayah', 'to be' or 'to become', and that it meant 'I am that I am' or I will be that I will be'. According to one tradition of the call of Moses, the divine name Yahweh was revealed to him in Egypt: - Great Events of Bible Times

"Originally, these four consonants [in YHWH] represented the four members of the Heavenly Family: Y represented El the Father; H was Asherah the Mother; W corresponded to He the Son; and H was the Daughter Anath. In accordance with the royal traditions of the time and region, God's mysterious bride, the Matronit, was also reckoned to be his sister. In the Jewish cult of the Cabbala God's dual male-female image was perpetuated. Meanwhile other sects perceived the Shekinah or Matronit as the female presence of God on Earth. The divine marital chamber was the sanctuary of the Jerusalem Temple, but from the moment the Temple was destroyed, the Matronit was destined to roam the Earth while the male aspect of Jehovah was left to rule the heavens alone." - Laurence Gardner, Bloodline of the Holy Grail, p. 18

One of the last items faced concerning the Scriptures is of more recent origin and may account for the vast majority of the linguistic problems that occur. I refer to the reworking of the Hebrew language by the Masorites and Tiberians, between the 6th to 12th centuries C.E. The Masorites were responsible for many of the alterations in the vowels and definitions of the Hebrew words. In that the language had not been a spoken one for at least a hundred years before their endeavor, and not until 1948 was it brought back to life again after not being spoken for nearly 1600 years. This is one reason why meanings of a number of words are unknown thus making it difficult for the modern scholar to rely solely on the Hebrew version as the last authority. This is why the tablets from Ebla are still important as the language is akin to the Hebrew and can give us a clearer understanding of 'uncertain' words.
- Rev. Robert Palmer (private correspondence).

Because the Hebrew language does not employ vowels in its written form, the correct pronunciation of the Ineffable Name of God was lost & not rediscovered until about 300AD by the Kabbalists who gave it the title Tetragrammaton, "the word of four letters," & "the square name," or more simply, "the square." At that time the Shem-ha-meforash became represented by the simple form YHVH. -Charles Ponce, Kabbalah, p 175

This hypothesis is not intrinsically improbable, and in Aramaic, a language closely related to Hebrew, "to be" actually is hawa--but it should be noted that in adopting it we admit that, using the name Hebrew in the historical sense, Yahweh is not a Hebrew name. -Ency Brit 11Ed Vol 15 p 321

Known as Saul of Tarsus, he was highly educated and read the Holy Torah. He concluded that these Brethren Jews, who were going house to house telling people that the prophesies of the Holy Torah pointed to the presence of the Messiah in their time, were a false cult.

Saul was not a Pharisee, who like many leaders of today's churches, profit from continuing the old ways, rituals, traditions, and holiday observances. From his point of view, he was a dedicated servant of God, and basically, he was.

All his scriptural study did not lead him to the true religion, but away from it. It took the appearance of Christ, who now exist in unapproachable light, to blind him for him to see the light.

So, YES or NO, are you smarter than Apostle Paul at reading the scriptures and determing what is the true religion of God?

History books are recorded versions of events through the eyes and ears of the writer.

The New Testament cannot be called Revelation since it was not a revealed book. The New Testament was created after the Nician councel chose 4 gospels and burned the rest. Obviously these were not divinenly written gospels.


"Initially there were 34 gospels that were compiled by word of mouth. Four were chosen for unclear reasons and 30 were left behind [burned]. (Encyclopedia Britannica)


The NT is a recording of events recorded by religious companions or pious people who compiled bits and pieces of information several decades later.

I have some older tower speakers by jvc i believe, and they always worked fine. There are three speakers in each one, and some had small tears around the speakers in the rubbery part, but i dont think thats the problem, since they still work at lower volumes, and ive seen speakers with the same problem, but much worse, working better than mine.

Well, one day i noticed that when i turn the volume up on my receiver, especially when i turn the bass up a bit, then at about 50% volume or so, the speakers just click and produce no sound for a couple seconds. Then if i leave the volume at the same level, they turn back on for half a second then click back off for a couple again.

If i hit the back of the speaker box after this happens, they turn back on momentarily, untill the sound overwhels it or whatever, and they turn off.

If i lower the volume after they click off, they turn back on, but at a lower volume (until i hit the back of them)

Whats the problem?
