Soon after I learned the Hebrew name for our Savior Yahshua, an event happened in our town that made clear the importance of names. Taos is a small town of mixed cultures.  Historically, newcomers have come in and with their wealth have created new successful businesses.  They have bought property and prospered, sometimes to the detriment of the locals.An old Ramada Inn was purchased by a man name...  Read More

Ancient Hebrew’s sixth letter was pronounced “w,” not “v.” Linguistic, Masoretic, Aramaic, Ugaritic, Arabic, and Yemenite evidence all support this. Since YHWH’s letters are vowels, the Name fits “Yahweh,” not forms with a consonant v like Yehovah/Yahveh/Yahvah.  Read More

“Yahuah” relies on forcing faulty Hebrew grammar into the name Judah. Ancient pronunciation, Hebrew rules, Masoretic masking, early Greek transcriptions, Samaritans, and even cuneiform evidence all converge on the two-syllable form Yahweh, not three-syllable “Yahuah” or “Yehovah,” as the Creator’s authentic Name.  Read More

This article examines whether the Tetragrammaton’s third letter should be rendered “v” or “w,” surveying historical linguistics, Semitic comparatives, Masoretic practice, and Josephus. It concludes the ancient waw functioned as a vowel /w/, not /v/, making “Yahweh” phonologically and historically sound, while “Yahveh/ Jehovah” are late hybrid misreadings.  Read More

Major Bible translations openly admit that YHWH is a distinct personal Name, likely pronounced “Yahweh,” and that “LORD” or “Jehovah” are traditional substitutes built from Adonai’s vowels. Yet, out of inherited reverence, they mostly retain LORD in the text—acknowledging the Name while still avoiding using it.  Read More

This study argues that the English titles “God” and “Lord” are historically tied to pagan deities and sacrificial practices, and so unfit for devotional use. Drawing on Scripture, etymology, and Revelation’s “names of blasphemy,” it urges believers to drop these titles and instead honor Yahweh by His revealed Name.  Read More

This article explores how Yahweh’s Name (YHWH) is uniquely “breathed” — the semivowel letters functioning like vowels, matching inhale/exhale. Citing Josephus, Hebrew grammar, and passages like Exodus 3:14 and Psalm 150:6, it links Yahweh’s Name with breath, life, and Spirit, suggesting every breath unconsciously proclaims His Name.  Read More

Yahweh’s Name isn’t a throwaway label; it marks who He is and how He is to be worshiped. Generic titles like “Lord” and “God” blur Him into man-made religion, but His revealed Name separates truth from counterfeits. Honor His Name, and you stand in the narrow path of True Worship.  Read More
