Scripture is Explicit About Names
"Neither is there salvation in any other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
"I, even I, am Yahuah; and beside me there is no savior."
"This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations."
🚨 CRITICAL TRUTH
We believe using the true names of the Father (Yahuah) and the Son (Yahusha) is a serious matter with eternal implications, not merely a preference or secondary issue.
The Theological Issue
The name "Yahusha" literally means "Yah is salvation" or "Yahuah saves." The NAME itself testifies that YAHUAH is the savior, not a separate deity called "Jesus."
יהושע
"Yahuah saves"
✅ Contains Father's name (Yah)
✅ Declares the truth
✅ Points to Yahuah as Savior
Ἰησοῦς
❌ No connection to Father's name
❌ Meaning obscured
❌ Greek/Roman origin
📚 Hebrew Name Breakdown
The Son's name literally contains and proclaims the Father's name!
Why the Name Matters
"I, even I, am Yahuah; and beside me there is NO savior"
If "Jesus Christ" is presented as a separate savior from Yahuah, this violates Isaiah 43:11. But Yahusha's very name declares the truth: Yahuah is the one who saves. The Son's name points to the Father as the source of salvation.
🔍 The Truth Revealed
When you call on "Yahusha," you are calling on the name that means "Yahuah saves."
When you call on "Jesus," that meaning is lost.
This is why the NAME matters - it testifies to WHO the savior truly is (Yahuah), not a separate god.
"Neither is there salvation in any OTHER NAME"
The name "Jesus" (Greek: Iesous) does not carry the meaning "Yah is salvation." The name "Yahusha" (Hebrew: יהושע) explicitly contains the Father's name (Yah/יה) and declares His saving power.
Our Position on Sacred Names
🤝 Grace and Truth Balanced
We hold these truths with both conviction and compassion. Names matter, but so does the heart condition of sincere seekers.
1. Sacred names are NOT optional
They matter biblically and eternally - this is not a "preference" issue but a truth issue.
2. We extend grace to sincere seekers
Those who've never been taught aren't condemned for ignorance (Romans 10:14).
3. We teach this truth boldly
Once shown the truth, rejection is serious. We don't water down truth to avoid offense.
4. We call people to repentance
Willful rejection after being shown is a salvation issue that requires repentance.
5. We leave final judgment to Yahuah
We proclaim truth and warn, but Yahuah judges hearts and intentions.
Practical Application
For Different Groups:
👶 Seekers & New Believers
We teach sacred names immediately but give grace as they learn and adjust. Growth takes time.
🏘️ Ministry Members
Expected to use sacred names (Yahuah/Yahusha) consistently in speech and writing.
👨🏫 Teachers & Elders
REQUIRED to use sacred names - they're teaching others and must model biblical truth.
🚫 Those Who Reject
After being shown, we warn them of the seriousness, then move on (Matthew 10:14; Titus 3:10).
The Father's Name: Yahuah
"And Elohim said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. And Elohim said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Yahuah Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations."
📚 The Tetragrammaton
The four Hebrew letters (Yod-Hey-Waw-Hey) that form the most sacred name. Occurs over 6,800 times in the Hebrew Bible, but hidden by translators who substitute "LORD."
⚠️ Names Hidden by Tradition
Jeremiah 23:27 prophesied that His people would forget His name through false prophets.
Modern translations hide both names:
- Yahuah is replaced with "LORD" (over 6,800 times!)
- Yahusha is replaced with "Jesus" (Greek translation)
This fulfills the prophecy - His name IS being forgotten by His people!
Common Objections Answered
"Pronunciation doesn't matter, it's the heart"
Response: While heart matters, so does obedience to truth. Would you mispronounce your spouse's or child's name? Names have meaning and significance throughout Scripture.
"Jesus is just the Greek version"
Response: But the MEANING is lost in Greek. Yahusha = "Yah saves." Jesus = ??? The theological significance disappears.
"Many are saved calling on Jesus"
Response: Yahuah honors sincere hearts seeking truth. But once you KNOW the correct name, continuing to reject it becomes a heart issue.
"This causes division in the church"
Response: Truth always causes division between light and darkness. Yahusha said He came to bring a sword (Matthew 10:34). We choose truth over unity in error.
"We can't know the exact pronunciation"
Response: Hebrew vowels give us good guidance. Even if pronunciation isn't perfect, using Hebrew names shows respect for Scripture and preserves meaning better than Greek/Latin substitutes.
The Bottom Line
🎯 We Will Not Water Down This Truth
The NAME matters. It's not about being "Hebrew Roots extremists" - it's about honoring Scripture and the meaning Yahuah embedded in His Son's name.
"And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Master Yahusha, giving thanks to Elohim and the Father by him."
When you understand that Yahusha means "Yahuah saves," every time you call His name, you're declaring theological truth about who the Savior really is.
When you call on Yahusha, you're calling on Yahuah to save you. The Son's name points to the Father. This is the beauty and power of the sacred names!
💙 Our Heart
We share this truth in love, not condemnation. Our desire is that all would know and honor the beautiful names of our Creator and Savior. Yahuah and Yahusha - names above every name!
"Wherefore Elohim also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Yahusha every knee should bow... and that every tongue should confess that Yahusha the Messiah is Master, to the glory of Elohim the Father."
