What is the Sacred Name Movement ?

And still JEROME declares he not only saw the Version of Matthew written in Hebrew but also He held it and read it and took notes from it when it was stored in the Library at Ceasaria. So whether if you are suspect or anyone else, Jerome confirms seeing it, touching it, reading from it, and taking notes from it.

If Jerome saw one it could have been a Hebrew version translated from the Greek at a much later date.

It seems we are rapidly approaching our blessed Savior's return. As one of the many strangers in this strange land, I look forward to getting out of here once and for all to be with our King andSavior and Love and Almighty God.

Oh that people would understand the New Jerusalem, of the free woman, will be brought down by God and will be the capital of the Kingdom, the true Israle. Do not go off half-cocked, translate what Israel meanss... Ruling with God.

I have no delusions of greatness for I shall mostliely be one of the least in the Kingdom, but I do know what I have learned from sstudy and understood by the Holy Spirit.

Stop making everythinng the Word says sound as though it is separateed from the New Jerusalem..

Finally, beware of those who say they are Jews but are not............

Anything is possible even though Jerome still held to the position of what Papias claimed. Jerome is the one who stated, it was Hebrew and then the others tried to interpret it into Greek as best they could. So it seems he believed Hebrew was the original version.

As far as the NAME of Who the WORD made flesh should be called is concerned, Christ knew that translations would turn His NAME into several different varieties which are all basically meaning the same NAME. But I will point out one distinct importance and that is the NAME by which Satan and demons literally fear. That would be the birth NAME given to Christ in His native Language. We have seen more miracles, more healing, even more demons rebuked-bound-cast out in the NAME of Yeshua vs in the Name of Jesus. What does seem evident is what NAME the enemy responds better to and seems to hate the most. And for the most part, that NAME is Yeshua!

Please Note i am not here to upset anyone on this
i came out of this movement after 3 years
here is some good biblical teaching on this and why this movement is
leading many Gential Christians away from the Finished work of the Cross !
even to the point telling some that if they dont say the name right they are not Saved !
or blaspheming the Holy Spirit
its just horrible to think that people can set their own ideas and laws and rules
and go so far to think they can add and take out of HIS Word and its Dangerous Christians

please dont get caught up in this
it was so bad my marriage was in danger !
and i was under such condemnation
and fear that when i finally was set free
in Jesus
i cried for months after realizing i was deceived

Jesus said !4 :6 I am the Way the Truth and the Life
only Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior
As Amercian Christians we should not split hairs over how to name Jesus
its WHO GOD IS ! Jesus Christ , and if they dont get this right
they got another Jesus :/
another christ



Here is the information in case someone would like to take a loo


the Sacred Name Movement developed from the Church of God (Seventh Day) in the 1930s. Supposedly, the movement began in response to study of Proverbs 30:4, “What is his name, and what is the name of his son?” The Sacred Name Movement teaches that only “Yahweh” is to be used as the name for God and only “Yahshua” is to be used as the name for Jesus. According to the Sacred Name Movement, the use of any other name is blasphemy.

In addition to a strong emphasis on the use of the original Hebrew names for God and Jesus, the Sacred Name Movement also teaches that followers of Yeshua must obey the Old Testament Law, especially the commands regarding the seventh-day Sabbath, the kosher food laws, and the Jewish festivals.

From the original Sacred Name Movement, several subgroups have formed, including the Assemblies of Yahweh, the Assembly of Yahweh, the House of Yahweh, and Yahweh’s Restoration Ministry.

The Sacred Name Movement errs in many ways. But the primary error is the same as that of the Hebrew Roots Movement. The Sacred Name Movement fails to understand that the Savior did not come to expand Judaism or the Old Covenant. The Savior came to fulfill the Old Covenant and establish the New Covenant. Messiah’s death and resurrection fulfilled the requirements of the Law and freed us from its demands (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23-25; Ephesians 2:15). The Old Covenant was but a shadow (Hebrews 8). The New Covenant, established by our Savior/Messiah, is a fulfillment, not a continuation.

The particular focus of the Sacred Name Movement on the names of God and Jesus is unbiblical. The human authors of the Old and New Testaments, writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, had no qualms about referring to God as Elohim (Hebrew) and Theos (Greek) or referring to the Son as Iesous (Greek). If it is biblically appropriate to use generic terms to refer to God and to use a Greek version of Jesus’ name, why is it wrong, in English, to refer to the Heavenly Father as “God” and the Messiah as “Jesus”? Why would it be wrong to use the Chinese, Spanish, or Russian pronunciation and spelling of those names and titles?

Further, not even the adherents of the Sacred Name Movement can completely agree on what the sacred names actually are. While “Yahweh” and “Yahshua” are the most common, some propose “Yahvah,” “Yahwah,” “Yohwah,” or” Yahowah” for God and “Yeshua” or “Yahoshua” for Jesus. If there is only one non-blasphemous name each for God and Jesus, we better be sure to get it right. Yet adherents of the Sacred Name Movement cannot even agree on the very core of what their movement is supposed to be all about.

The Sacred Name Movement began with an unbiblical premise and has continued by building unbiblical doctrines on top of that premise. Our salvation is not dependent on our ability to properly pronounce God’s name in Hebrew. Our relationship with God is not based on our obedience to the Old Covenant that our Messiah perfectly fulfilled.

Yes I agree . It can creep into many denominations, in a subtle way without realising it . Those with Greekitus lean a little this way sometimes.

I love to calal our Lord Yeshua. There is nothing wrong with calling Him by the transliterations other than this one, however when I use the name as close to what He walked this earth with, I am aware of the actual translation, ergo, it is a blessing for me.

You know Jesus, you know His calling in your heart. God bless all in Jesus Yeshua., and do not be afraid to call Him from the heart the name you understand HIm by. I do.
