Paul and Yahweh

Just who was the person in the New Testament named Paul (Hebrew: Saul)?

Wasn’t he the individual who was present at Stephen’s execution and consented to it?

Scriptures demonstrate clearly that the reason Stephen was murdered was because he had uttered the sacred name Yahweh, thereby committing blasphemy under Jewish law. (See Stephen and Yahweh)

There can be no doubt that Paul held to the “ineffable name” doctrine as espoused by the religious leaders of his day.

After Stephen’s death, did Paul have a change of heart regarding this “ineffable name” doctrine?

New Testament and Yahweh

Is there any proof in the New Testament that the apostles and early followers of Yahushua taught and spoke in the sacred name Yahweh?

Many would say no for a variety of reasons, one of which is that the name Yahweh is not found in any existing Greek manuscripts.

Is this really the total truth?

Proof that the original apostles adhered to the sacred name doctrine is found in numerous places in the New Testament. James shows his respect for the sacred name when he warns the disciples against favoring a rich man over someone poor:

But you dishonoured the poor. Do not the rich oppress you, and do (not) they drag you before tribunals? Do not they blaspheme the good name which is called upon you? (James 2:6-7)

Messiah Convicted of Blasphemy

Did Yahushua the Messiah actually commit blasphemy, a charge that led to his conviction and death sentence by the religious leaders of Judaea?

Was there any scriptural basis for the extreme hatred these leaders harbored toward Yahushua, ultimately resulting in their desire for his death?

To the religious leaders responsible for Yahushua’s conviction and execution, the Messiah had much to say:

You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. (John 8:44)

Are there any facts that indicate Yahushua committed the scriptural crime of blasphemy, thereby justifying his execution?

Motive to Murder Yahushua

Was the motive for murdering Yahushua his claim to be the Messiah? It seems like a reasonable question, but is it true?

Why was such extraordinary anger and hostility directed toward Yahushua the Messiah by the religious leaders? What caused this hostility that ultimately led to the Messiah’s death sentence at his trial by these religious leaders?

Could there be another reason for Yahushua’s unlawful execution?

Might that reason be directly related to his use of the sacred name Yahweh?

If you’re interested in uncovering the truth, please continue reading as we investigate the facts.

Ineffable Name Yahweh?

Is there any credence to the idea that the sacred name Yahweh should be protected from possible misuse by demanding that it should not be spoken?

Some may even cite as proof of this notion the third commandment in Scriptures.

You shall not take the name of Yahweh your eloahi to worthlessness; for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name to worthlessness. (Exodus 20:7)

On the other hand, there would seem to be contradictions in Scriptures if one were to suppress the usage of the sacred name Yahweh.

So how and when did the concept of the “Ineffable Name” doctrine come about?

If you’re interested in finding out, then you’re invited to explore the details by reading on.
