NO OTHER NAME
In Acts 4:12 the Scripture is plain and clear: *There is NONE OTHER NAME under heaven given among men whereby we MUST be saved.* The Yahwist claim this name is that of God the Father (Yahweh), and not the name of their second God the Son (Yahshua) has no salvation in it. So in their interpretation of Acts 4:12 the reference is not Yahshua or Jesus but it is the Father's name Yahweh that is the saving name. Thus, they teach there is absolutely no salvation in the name of the second God at all, salvation is only in the name of Yahweh. The Oneness Yahwehs simply claim that the name of God the Son is Yahweh and that he came in his Father's name and so say the salvation name is still Yahweh. Actually I have found the alleged Oneness Yahwist to actually be two-God, in that they continue to separate the Father and his name separate from the Son and his name.
Now the word *name* in Acts 4:12 points back to its antecedent, the *name* of Jesus Christ in verse 10. It does not point back to the name Yahweh or any word to prove Yahweh is the only saving name. So, let's get this straight: No other name of God, no other name of man, no titles, no appellations, no tetragrammaton, is or can be a salvation name except that of JESUS Messiah. This fully proves that whatever the Old Testament names of God were, they have been replaced with the much greater NAME than they all. The Jews who reject Jesus and his name as Jesus Messiah (Christ) or LORD JESUS CHRIST (KING JESUS MESSIAH), have no choice but to still think they can obtain salvation in an Old Testament name or title of God or some name they invent like the tetragrammaton. Leaning upon these errors, Gentiles will attempt to deny that the name JESUS is a valid name, and try to substitute for it Yahweh and even Yahshua. Some want to hang their whole case upon the use of *J* as a substitute for *I* or *Y*. Are these claims valid? Read the rest of this article and you will find that they are not.
Those who come to deny the name of JESUS want everyone to think of the ancient names of God as higher and more holier than that name and spelling. Some even want the Greek substitute LORD which was interpolated in Greek Septuagint version at Exodus 3:14-15 in the place of the *removed* sacred name, and want this *LORD* to be a name and substitute it in Mathew 28:19 for the word Father in Baptism? This also is false!
Errors about the name of Jesus end up certifying the practices of Pharisee Judaism as being the correct way to God and Heaven without the name of Jesus, by going back under the Law and by using some claimed old Testament name of God that saves better than the name of Jesus? Well, as an Apostolic Messianic Christian Jew (Rom 2:29), I reject that. Our faith is not in the guess names and methods of Jewish, Catholic, or Protestant mysticism that tries to discover the lost name so they need not to confess faith in the revealed salvation NAME of Jesus. Remember, we have a MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY on the sacred and most holy name of God. The name of JESUS was prophesied by an angel to be the name all Gentiles and Jews would put their TRUST in for salvation AND IN THAT DAY THERE WOULD BE ONE NAME OF GOD (Isa 11:10, 12:4; Zech 14:9; Luke 1:31. That NAME was prophesied to Mary before Jesus was born (the more sure word of Prophecy); Mat 12:21; Rom 15:12).
Isaiah 52 & 53 And The Suffering Servant:
Below is Isaiah 52:13-53:2 in the Babylonian Aramaic alphabet. Who is the suffering servant of Isaiah 52 and 53. Will we find his name as Yahweh or Yahshua? Beginning at Isaiah 52:13 after the word hineh and taking the first letter of every seventh letter what do we have? We have "Yeshua simon lemo". Interpreted as "YESHUA IS APPOINTED TO BE HIM."

Yeshua is certainly not Yahweh, Yahshua, or Yahwehshua. The name Yeshua correctly Yehshua (since the h was dropped here in the Aramaic and is silent), is transliterated as Jehsus and with the "h" silent as in Yeshua, we have Jesus! This is remarkable. This name was written into Greek by the Apostles as "IS" in the Nomina Sacra and latter incorrectly expanded to IEHSOUS" and dropping the "H" becasue it is silent most often in Hebrew, we have "IESOUS." The sacred name without the masculine "s" would be "IESOU". And from this we get some who pronounce the sacred name as Jehsu and Jesu. Anyone who associates this sacred "wonderful" name of God (Isaiah 9:6) with the name of a pagan god or claims that it means "pig god" deserve the antichrist award of the year. The name Jesus does not mean "pig god". It is not a name for a second God of rank in the Greek pantheon of gods! It is not the name of the second person-God in a trinity. It is the ONLY NAME GIVEN UNDER HEAVEN WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED!
Jesus is the God of the Old Testament incarnated in flesh (1Tim 3:16), therefore he is the God referred to as *ADOWN or LORD.* As the ADOWN, the sovereign, the King, Jesus is both Christ (Messiah) and LORD Luke 2:11. He is the anointed One to be the ADOWN or sovereign LORD King of Israel on David's throne. He is the Messiah, he is the pre-existing God Almighty who swore by an oath to David that he would visit mankind through the seed (flesh) of David and when he did, He would sit as KING of kings and LORD of lords upon David's throne over all Israel and all the world:
Psalms 132:11--The LORD hath sworn in truth to David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
Emmanuel:
And his name shall be called Emmanuel, which being interpreted is God with us. Jesus Messiah is the God who is to be with us Mat 1:23 in person and appear as a man of the seed of David. He will have a dual nature of God and man. Anyone who denies the deity of Jesus is an antichrist. When God came in the flesh to sit upon David's throne his name cannot mean he is Jehovah Junior, or Yahweh Junior, or some second person in a triad or pantheon of gods, as some try to make his name mean by making Jesus another person separate from God. They do this in order to derive his name from another God which is alleged to be hidden within the tetragrammation(s) YHVH or YHWH. When Messiah comes his name will be that of Almighty God! There is no need then to go back and try to use a replaced name or title, or to try and recover some lost name! We have it all in the name of JEHSUS MESSIAH.
Yahwist follow the Pharisees method in rejecting the name of Jesus. The Pharisees are bewitched that a lost name and its substitute LORD is the real salvation name and reject the name of Jesus as being the name of a false prophet whom they had killed. Yahwist believers agree with the Pharisees that the tetragrammaton and the guess name of Yahweh is greater than the name of Jesus and even their own substitute name of *Yahshua* they make greater.
Yahweh Groups Call Jesus "Pig God":
Yahweh groups (Truth Restortation Ministry associated with New Covenant Yahweh Assembly) are usually led by self-made and self-appointed alleged scholars who tower above the unlearned and slow of heart as experts of language and transliterations. They borrow Jewish methods from the occult Kabbalah to manipulate the tetragramaton until they also guess name for God to be Yahweh. These then turn and say that the name of Jesus is either the name of a pagan god or that it means the PIG. These claim that the *sus* in Je-sus is Latin for pig and this make the name of Jesus to mean pig or unclean pig god or such like! They do so to get the ignorant and unlearned to gasp in horror that they were baptized into the name of a false god or into a name that means pig. Quite a few have fallen for this ploy and right away start using word YahShua when speaking of Jesus. I am absolutely SHOCKED at this sorcery being palmed off as revelation and subsequently the total disregard of the name of our God kept secret since the world began; ...a name revealed by an angel when the Saviour came to earth incarnated in the seed and flesh of David to redeem his creation by the glorious name of JEHSUS (Luke 1:30-33)!
There is no GREATER name above the name of JESUS. God has none greater. Look at what God said to Manoah: *And the angel of the LORD said unto him, why askest thou after my name, seeing it is secret (Judg 13:18)? Then when Jacob wrestles with this same theophany of God and asks his name, God refuses to give it to him because the fullness of time had not come for it to be revealed for salvation. All they had then were Elohim (God) and Elshaddai (God Almighty). This up to Moses and the burning bush. There, when Moses ask the name of God, God said to him *I am that I am* (Exod 3:14). Those words are not at all like that in the ancient Hebrew. Instead it is written *Ehyeh asher Ehyeh*. Now *EHYEH* is considered the great name of God given to Moses to be his memorial to all generations. When the Jews wanted to take the sacred name out of the scrolls, they replaced it with an interpretation of the name rather than the name. When the Old Testament was translated into Greek in about 280BC, the alleged Jewish scholars substituted in every place the sacred name of EHYEH was found the word *Kurios* which means LORD, a title given to Kings in respect of their authority and dominion over all. Thus, the Jews took from the concept of Supreme Ruler or *self-existent-one*, and inserted LORD and gave it that interpretation in the place of the sacred name of EHYEH (God is salvation). This they said was done to keep the poor and stupid of the Israelites and the pagan Gentiles from profaning the name of God by taking or using it in vain.
So, in our King James, the translators adopted the Jewish method of inserting the word LORD capitalized so as to say ADOWN or ADONAI in reference to HIM who alone is God, King, Sovereign, and has DOMINION. But having the word LORD in the King James is not a NAME and is not the name of God anyway they manipulate it. To change it into "Jehovah or Yahweh" or some other guess name where the sacred name does not belong is wrong. The word "LORD" was never the NAME OF GOD nor was it ever given by God to be used as a name for him. The word LORD is then merely a *TITLE* and no better than the title Father! For anyone to make the argument that title LORD is a real name because it appears in the KJV, shows the lack of scholarship of the person making the claim. Some insist that the word LORD is indeed a name, if so, then should we then speak it in English or in Hebrew? Was English and the King James Version the language and translation used in the Old Testament and in the days of Jesus? To insist that the title "LORD" is a name and refuse the Hebrew words for that title is not honest etymology or exegesis. In many places in the Scriptures where the word LORD is now found, the ancient name of EHYEH existed until it was censored out by the Jews. Around 280BC the Scribes translated the Hebrew text into Greek and the Hebrew "ADOWN and ADONAI" were translated as Kurios. Kurios was also interpolated into all the text where the sacred name as given to Moses existed in the text. Subsequently, the title "LORD" replacing the sacred name of EHYEH, was backward interpolated into the Scriptures BEFORE Exod 3:14 where in the KJV it is recorded to have been first given and revealed to Moses (such first interpolation we fined in Gen 2:4 etc.).
Any retranslation of the word LORD before Exod 3:14 into the sacred name of Exodus 3:14 is an error of the Jews and Yahwist, to make the divine name to exist BEFORE Moses got it from God at the burning bush. And if Moses knew it, why would he ask about it and God reveal it to him as if he did NOT know it? Any use of the word LORD to say Father, the name Jesus to say the Son, or the word Christ to say Holy Spirit (Mat 28:19), and say that the name is LORD JESUS CHRIST, are deceived by the same spirit of error as those Jews and Yahwist who now use the guess words of Yahweh or Jehovah, and reject the name of JESUS alone as the one saving name. Jesus was born both Lord (King) and Christ (Messiah), but his name is called JESUS. You may say with all reverence King Jesus Messiah, for that is the same as saying *Lord Jesus Christ*, but his name is JESUS (Mat 1:16; Luke 1:31). So that to baptize Acts 2:38: Jesus Christ, is to say the sacred name JESUS and identify him as GOD, KING, and MESSIAH. THAT is the confession upon which our whole Apostolic faith is founded.
So, the interpretation of the name EHYEH given in Exod 3:14 is replaced by the interpretation of self-existent one or, ...the I am. And so even up to today, these quotations are used by the ignorant and the unlearned who think the Jews have a great mastery of the Scriptures and the sacred name. That is why they are called BAALSHEM, Baalshem, or masters of the name. But I say Baal is not the name of God. That Baalshem means name of Baal as God. And I conclude that the Jews have replaced or forgotten then name of God (Ehyeh) for BAAL (Jer 3:21, 13:25, 18:15, 23:37important). The Jews took the name of *Baal* and associated with it the title LORD that they had attributed to God. And it is this false *lord* of Babylon *Nimrod* called *Baal* and the use of the word *lord* that God protested when he accused the Jews of forgetting his name for Baal or *lord*. This is not a light matter, and it points directly to the perversion of the sacred Scriptures where Ehyeh was censored out and the word *lord* in capitals was inserted where EHYEH was stood. Then to translate this *LORD or lord* to YHVH or YHWH to mean Jehovah or Yahweh, and still not discover *Ehyeh* the ancient first singular covenant name, and still reject *JESUS* as the one saving name of God, is error and falsehood compounded.
I would urge you to read all of the previous cited verses and check deeper than the books of man and you will find this truth. Sometimes it is right in the reference in the center of the Bible page. There many will put *Ehyeh asher Ehyeh.* I was shocked to find it in my own Royal Bible. The sacred name of EHYEH translates into HYH when the vowel *e* is removed, ...not YHVH or ...YHWH. And, if you will pay special attention to those who speak in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance, you will *NEVER* hear anyone say JEHOVAH or YAHWEH, but you will hear thousands say: EH-YEH, or *I-yeh* over and over and over and over and over. Many have been heard in foreign lands to speak the name of Jesus in English as they spoke in other tongues as the Spirit gave the utterance. Surely this is some GREAT weight of evidence that God knows his name. You will hear many speak in tongues and say Eh- sha or I-sha, and even Yeh-sha and Jehsus. And we think they have learned English when they are saying the name of our God in a manner that Heaven approves and accepts as equivalent as the entire sacred name YEHSHAS. When we say Jesus in praise and worship there is no need for us to speak in tongues to say the same word, although it is done over and over and over and over.
We come to the question of how the sacred name figures in the name of Jesus so that Jesus could say: I CAME IN MY FATHER'S NAME? Here is the truth and the facts. Elohim is the Hebrew word for God, God used the abbreviation of Elohim as *El* and the Patriarchs added this *EL* to the names of children, to the names of places, and to words of praise and worship. This carried with it the full power and force as if the whole name was pronounced and stood to the entire and wholeness of God's being and person. Thus we have Bethel or Beth-el which means house of God. We have Daniel or Dani-el or God is my judge, ...and so forth. The same was done with the sacred name Ehyeh. the *Yeh* was added to names, places, and words of praise and worship. The Jews changed this *Yeh* into *Yah* and that is a gross error as there was a Babylonian god named *yah*. But our YEH is not their YAH. Or our God is not their god. Or our Elohim is not the elohim. Same difference.
Now, the name "Jesus" in English is *Yehsha or Yesha* in Hebrew and comes from the word meaning salvation. Go look it up (Strong's 3467). In Hebrew the *h* is omitted but is pronounced silently so that if you say Yesha you are saying YEHSHA. The name Yehsha contains the abbreviation of *Yeh* from Ehyeh. And where ever this YEH is used as in the use of EL it carries with it the full force, power, and meaning of identity of the wholeness of God's being and person. And thus we have not only then the name of God in the name of Jesus, but it means *EHYEH* IS OUR SALVATION, or *EHYEH* OR THE I AM HAS BROUGHT SALVATION. Thus, in the name of Jehsus or the Greek Iehsous, the contraction of "Yeh" from "Ehyeh" makes the name of Jehsus to mean I AM HAS BROUGH SALVATION. Why so many take out *Ehyeh* and put in the word *God* or the tetragrammatons to keep from pronuncing the sacred name in association with the name of Jesus is a tremendous FRAUD!
