How important is a name?
Hebrew scribes omitted the "h", changing Jeho (יְהוֹ) into Jo (יוֹ), to make the start of "Yeho-" so names would not sound like an attempt to pronounce the Divine Name.
Ye is Yah, Je is Yah, Jo is Yah, Ya is Yah, Yeh is Yah, Ja is Yah. What is the reason for that?
Ya/shua is Yah/shua.
Yahwah's name was in the original New Testament scriptures
After killing Hebrew Christians, the Jews would take the New testament scripture written in Hebrew, and carefully cut the name of God out. Then they would place the divine name in a safe place to keep. Following that, they then would burn the remainder of the scrolls in a fire.
Rabbi Yose who lived during the second century AD states that, "One cuts out the reference to the Divine Name which are in them
[the New Testament writings] and stores them away, and the rest burns." One of his characteristic sayings is, "He who proclaimed the coming of the Messiah,
[John] and he who hated scholars
[Yahshua] and his disciples; and that false prophet and those slanderers, will have no part in the future world."
According to
Wilhelm Bacher this was directed against the Hebrew Christians. And so it is an established fact then, that the disciples of Christ did in fact write the Holy Name of God into the original New Testament.
John 17:11
I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name—
the name you gave me—so that they may be one as we are one.
Hebrews 2:12
He says, “
I will declare your name to my brothers; in the presence of the congregation I will sing your praises.”
Where do you see the name Yahwah in the New Testament?
I am not associated with the Sacred Name people. I had a personal experience that has lead me to this path.
When I first started teaching that God's name is Yahwah, Christians would say to me, "I do not know who Yahwah is, nor do I want to have anything to do with him; I only want to worship Jesus." We know as a matter of fact that the name Jesus is not the birth name of Christ. That name was made up about 500 years ago. The name Jesus is
cultivated, the name Yahshua is not.
