1. Inferrences Made with relations to the Name

The first thing to note is that there is nowhere in the scriptures that Yahweh speaks of Himself as one in reference to the integer. The scriptures from the beginning to the end testifies to the truth that Yahweh is a unity. Hence the position taken from the scriptures that there are 3 different distinct personae in one substantia did not begin in the mind of a devilish man. Base on the division of the scripture you referred to it is pointed out that these personae are; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Textual criticism is still divided as to the validity of this portion of scripture, but like most things in the followship of the Messiah I accept this by faith and lean on the evidence offered in the earliest MMS showing this longer ending.

Let us address the notion that you seek to posit that the only names that should be used to address the Creator and Supreme ruler are those of the Hebrew language. The first reality to note is that due to the demise brought about by those who inherited the Hebraic traditions as it relates to the tetragammaton and the obvious lost of definite pronunciation of YAHWEH. The tetragammaton used the letters yod, he, vav, and he which would be YHVH. Explain to me Scribe how did it evolve into YHWH.

As it relates to your strict adherence to the name Yashua. It appears that unlike those who say Jesus and refer only to the Historical Messiah, you are forced to reconcile every appearance of the name Yashua in the scriptures. It is no wonder that you try to find messianic truth in Joshua/Yashua as an OT christophany. This position makes Yahweh as guilty as those of us who have sinned. Read the history of Joshua and see if his life is consistent with that of the Word as recorded by the apostles.

The Holy Spirit or as you would say Yashua in flesh or in Spirit. Is this really true? This teaching goes in tandem with your belief that matter is just Spirit materialized. This is not scriptural as the scriptures say that matter was made from nothing. God is not nothing, hence the Messiah cannot be just a spiritual shape, he is a person. Yes it is true that the universe came out of what is not visible, but it didn’t say it came out of what is invisible. The fact that something or someone is not visible does not mean that the person or thing is invisible.

Scribe, I do not deny that the Hebrew names of the Father and the Son are Yahweh and Yashua, in English I say Jehovah/God and Jesus. Tell me where in scripture is says address by these names and not any linguistic derivative.
