The Bible Translators REMOVED the name of YAHWEH
and Replaced it With the Pagan Titles Lord and God
They did this mainly for 2 Reasons:
- To support their FALSE Trinity doctrine
- To Sell more Bibles (Money)
Below are some quotes to show you that the Name of “Yahwah” was removed from the Holy Scriptures.
Trinity Doctrine
The Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics; The Bible in the Church.
“In the first two centuries nearly all the various readings of the New Testament came into existence, the majority of them by DELIBERATE ALTERATION of the text…In the interests of (the trinity) dogma…”
Fraternal Visitor 1924, p. 148; translated from Christadelphian Monatshefte.
“Codex B (Vaticanus)…was ALTERED by a later hand IN MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND PLACES. Eusebius, therefore, is not without grounds for accusing the adherents of….The newly-risen doctrine of the trinity OF FALSIFYING THE BIBLE…”
When Jesus Became God by Richard E. Rubenstein, p.74.
“It was they who demanded, in effect, that Christianity be “updated” by BLURRING or even obliterating the long-accepted DISTINCTION between the Father and the Son.”
George Howard, Bible Scholar;The Name of God in the New Testament, BAR 4.1 (March 1978), pg 15.
“The removal of the Tetragrammaton (Yahwah) from the New Testament and its replacement with the surrogates KYRIOS and THEOS BLURRED the original DISTINCTION between the LORD God and the Lord Christ, and in many passages made it IMPOSSIBLE which one was meant. As time went on…It was often IMPOSSIBLE TO DISTINGUISH between them. Thus it may be that THE REMOVAL OF THE TETRAGRAMMATON (Yahwah) contributed significantly to the later…Trinity “
The Reason NIV removed Jehovah’s Name Edwin H. Palmer, Th.D., Executive Secretary for the NIV‘s committee.
God’s Name YAHWAH appears in the original Hebrew text about 7000 times, but the NIV fails to mention it EVEN ONCE.
When asked about this, Edwin H. Palmer, Th.D., Executive Secretary for the NIV’s committee wrote :
“Here is why we did not:
You are right – that Yahwah is a DINSTINCTIVE Name for God and IDEALLY WE SHOULD HAVE USED IT. But we put 2 1/4 MILLION DOLLARS into this translation and a sure way of throwing that down the drain is to translate, for example, Psalm 23 as, ‘YAHWEH is my Shepherd’.
Immediately, we would have translated FOR NOTHING.
Nobody would have USED IT (or PURCHASED IT).
Oh, maybe you and a HANDFUL [of] others. But a Christian has to be also WISE and PRACTICAL.
We are the victims of 350 years of the King James TRADITION. It is far BETTER to get TWO MILLION to read it- that is how many have bought it to date- and to follow the King James, than to have TWO THOUSAND buy it and have the CORRECT translation of YHWH (Yahwah). . . It was a hard decision, and many of our translators AGREE with you.”
The Preservation of the Bible By Faithful Churches) (By Charles V. Turner.
“The situation today, where many translations…exists largely because of the amount of MONEY to be gained…”
Money
New American Bible (Catholic) Introduction to the O. T., Page XI.
Because the God of Christ – The Jewish God, Yahwah, was not POPULAR with the world of mankind, they sought to REMOVE HIM from their Bibles. Bible translators knew that for their Bibles to be PURCHASED they would need to appeal to their readers.
They also knew, that if they used God’s Divine Name Yahwah, then people WOULD NOT PURCHASE their Version and thus they would lose money.
“…YAHWEH , is the PROPER PERSONAL NAME OF THE GOD OF Israel...
The term Adonai, ‘My Lord’ was LATER USED AS A SUBSTITUTE.
The word LORD in the present version represents the TRADITIONAL usage.”
Preface – 1935 Bible; J. M. Powis Smith and Edgar J. Goodspeed.
“In this translation we have followed the orthodox Jewish TRADITION and SUBSTITUTED ‘the Lord’ for the Name ‘YAHWEH’.”
Mat 15:3 But answering He said to them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of YAHWEH on account of your tradition?
Mat 15:6 And in no way he honors his father or his mother. And you annulled the command of YAHWEH on account of your tradition.
Superstition
The Jewish Encyclopedia TETRAGRAMMATON, by Crawford Howell Toy, and Ludwig Blau.
During the time when Israel was in slavery to Babylon, she absorbed and ADOPTED many Babylonian CUSTOMS and ideas. One of these was the “SUPERSTITION” against using the Name of a God – for fear that bad things would happen to them.
As the Babylonians called their Chief god – Marduk by the title “lord” so as not to offend him, so too – the Jews ADOPTED THIS IDEA in reference to “Yahwah” God.
|“When the Yisraeli (Israelites) came out of Babylonian captivity, they brought along with them the Babylonian CULTURE, and along with it Babylonian BELIEFS and superstitions.
One of these PAGAN Babylonian practices or beliefs was called “ineffability.” This was the SUPERSTITION against using the name of a deity for fear of something bad happening to them.
The idea was that if you said the name of a deity he or she would notice you.
The PAGAN PRACTICE of ineffability was further reinforced by Greek Hellenization.”
(b.Pes. 50a) (b.Kidd. 71a).
“The AVOIDANCE of the ORIGINAL NAME of God (Yahwah) both in speech and, to a certain extent, in the Bible…..first arose…. IN BABYLONIA. According to Dalman (l.c. pp. 66 et seq.)”
THE FINAL REFORMATION; KOSTER P.54, P112.
“The idea that only the priest could utter The NAME of The HEAVENLY FATHER, and that he was to disguise or hide it from the common people, came from the idea that the NAME was “ineffable” or “unutterable”. However this was a PAGAN DOCTRINE that they adopted from the Egyptians, Babylonians, and the Greeks…”
Herodotus, Histories 1.181-2; tr. Aubrey de Sélincourt
Herodotus correctly calls the supreme god of Babylon Bêl (“lord”),
because his real name was not pronounced.
The Final Reformation By Dr. Koster; pp. 54 and 112
“The ineffability of divine names was on old idea in Egypt… the name of Osiris himself was said to be ineffable…the name Marduk of Babylon was also declared ineffable. The Greeks avoided the names of their deities and preferred to call them by the titles Kurios and Theos.”
Denomination Meaning
All de-nomi-ations which etymologically, from the Latin (denominatio),
means *"a calling by anything other than the proper name, metonymy,"*
Metonymy, from the Latin (metonymia) and Greek (metōnymia), means *"change of name."*
It was prophesied people will call him by the name of baal ... Lord, Jesus.
Jer 23:26 How long is this there in the heart of the prophets, the prophets of lies; yea, the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?
Jer 23:27 They plot to cause My people to forget My name by their dreams which they tell, each one to his neighbor, even as their fathers have forgotten My name for Baal(Lord)
~ Jeremiah 23:27 It is a most striking parallel today that most Christians will share false visions and prophecies out of their own hearts and say 'the lord” told me this. Every true prophet in scripture knew the Creator's true name Yahweh, and did not refer to Yahweh as Baal or lord.
Hos 2:16-17 And at that day, says YAHWEH, you shall call Me, My husband; and you shall no more call Me, My Baal . For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth; and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
Scripture
Mal 2:1-2
And now, O priests, this command is to you. If you will not hear, and if you will not set it on your heart to give glory to My name, says YAHWEH of Hosts, then I will send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. And indeed, I have cursed it, because you are not setting it on your heart.
Psa 74:10
O Elohim, until when shall the enemy speak evil of You? Shall the enemy scorn Your name forever?
Psa 145:2-3
I will bless You every day; and I will praise Your name forever and ever. YAHWEH is great and to be greatly praised; and to His greatness there is no finding out.
Psa 83:18 And let them know you; that Your name is YAHWEH, and all life comes from you, the Most High over all the earth.
Meanings of : Christian, Lord, God.
Christians - Greek "kristianos” (Latin, Christianus)
Act 11:26 And finding him, he brought him to Antioch. And it happened that many of them were gathered to them in the assembly a whole year. And they taught a considerable crowd. And the disciples were first called Kristyane* at Antioch.
~ Acts 11:26
This term was used by people living in the nations who referred to gentile believers as such, but was not used by believers in Israel. Later we get the universal term used today “Christian”.
The Greek word XRISTIANOS is the origin of the word CRETIN.
The Greek word “kristianos” (Latin, Christianus) was a term of scorn, traced back through a related word which history never revised:
cre·tin (krēt'n) n. (Christian)
- A person afflicted with cretinism.
Slang: An idiot. - [French crétin, from French dialectal, deformed and mentally retarded person found in certain Alpine valleys, from Vulgar Latin *christiānus, Christian, human being, poor fellow, from Latin Chrīstiānus, Christian; see Christian.]

Lord
Baal, god worshipped in many ancient Middle Eastern communities, especially among the Canaanites, who apparently considered him a fertility deity and one of the most important gods in the pantheon. As a Semitic common noun baal (Hebrew baʿal) meant “owner” or “lord,” although it could be used more generally; for example, a baal of wings was a winged creature, and, in the plural, baalim of arrows indicated archers. Yet such fluidity in the use of the term baal did not prevent it from being attached to a god of distinct character. As such, Baal designated the universal god of fertility, and in that capacity his title was Prince, Lord of the Earth. He was also called the Lord of Rain and Dew, the two forms of moisture that were indispensable for fertile soil in Canaan. In Ugaritic and Hebrew, Baal’s epithet as the storm god was He Who Rides on the Clouds. In Phoenician he was called Baal Shamen, Lord of the Heavens.

God
The English word god comes from the Old English god, which itself is derived from the Proto-Germanic *gudą. Its cognates in other Germanic languages include guþ, gudis (both Gothic), guð (Old Norse), god (Old Saxon, Old Frisian, and Old Dutch), and got (Old High German).
Depending on which possibility is preferred, the pre-Christian meaning of the Germanic term may either have been (in the "pouring" case) "libation" or "that which is libated upon, idol" — or, as Watkins[2] opines in the light of Greek χυτη γαια "poured earth" meaning "tumulus", "the Germanic form may have referred in the first instance to the spirit immanent in a burial mound" — or (in the "invoke" case) "invocation, prayer" (compare the meanings of Sanskrit brahman) or "that which is invoked".

Natsarim
Act 24:14-15 But I confess this to you that according to the Way, which they say is a sect, I do serve the Elohim of my fathers, believing all the things written in the Torah and in the prophets.
And I have a hope in Elohim, which they also themselves expect, that there is to be a resurrection of the dead, both of the righteous and the wicked.
The Natsarim, as spoken of by the Prophets (Old Testament) and in the Brit Hadasaha (NT).
The first followers of Yahusha were known of as a sect called the Natsarim.
They were not accepted by the teachers of Judaism nor the early Christian church.
