Below is Yahweh’s Name in Hebrew:

יהוה

Hebrew reads right-to-left.  The letter on the right is yod followed by hey followed by vav followed by hey.

In ancient times, the letter “vav” was “waw”. The letter “vav” didn’t enter the Hebrew language until later than 1000 A.D. (C.E.).  To pronounce Yahweh’s correctly, you must use a “w” sound, not a “v” sound:

The historic pronunciation of this letter (a voiced bilabial) is /waw/, a pronunciation attested in various Semitic languages (ancient and modern).  Moreover, even the Masoretes (600 C.E.–1000 C.E.) arguably pronounced this letter as /waw/ (not /vav/).  The common pronunciation of this letter today as /vav/ (rather than /waw/) is a reflection of conventions in the modern period, primarily those hailing from Germanic language practices (notice, for example, that the German letter /w/ is pronounced as an English /v/, not as an English /w/; thus, the German word “Wasser” [water] is pronounced /vasser/ in German).  In sum, the tradition of pronouncing this letter as /waw/ is historically more accurate (and so it is found in many grammars of biblical Hebrew, including Thomas Lambdin’s).  The convention of pronouncing it as /vav/ is also acceptable, but this pronunciation does hail from the modern period.

According to linguists, “vav” is acceptable today, but it is not accurate.

His Name is Yahweh, not Yahveh or Yehovah or Yahuah.

“Elohim highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the Name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Adonai, to the glory of Elohim the Father.” (Philippians 2: 9-11)

Yahweh is the Name that’s above every name.

Must Jewish People Convert to Christianity to be Saved? is a book that you will want to read.

In it, you will discover facts that most Christians are unfamiliar with.  It will enlighten you about the true faith of believers dating back to the time of Abraham.

The Messiah didn’t try to create a new religion.  Neither did the apostles nor His followers.  For the most part, the religion that we know today as “Christianity” is either Catholic or an extension of Catholicism.

That’s a serious problem.  Must Jewish People Convert to Christianity to be Saved? explains why.

The book is available in three formats: paperback, eBook, and PDF format.  Click on the titles below to access the version you want:

Yahweh wants us to open our hearts to Him and allow Him to lead us where He wants us to go. Salvation is not something to be taken lightly. It’s a life changing experience.

Connecting salvation with being led by Yahweh is not my idea. It’s Yahweh’s plan.  Press on to Maturity presents and explains the details.

The obedience Yahweh requires is not about strict devotion to traditions and laws.  Some of those traditions and laws come from the Scriptures so they are important, but most of them are nothing more than man-made tradition.

Most of those traditions are unimportant.  In fact, they stand in the way of progress because it’s so easy for people to see them as substitutes for faith.  Many people have done that to their own detriment.

Yahweh did not create us to obey rules.  He created us to love Him and to work with Him on the implementation of His plan. I call it the faith of Abraham.  It’s a faith with legs, and it’s required.

In the early summer of 2017, I wrote Must Jewish People Convert to Christianity to be Saved?  When I started working on the project, I had no idea that I was writing a trilogy—hence the title of this book.

Almost immediately after I completed Must Jewish People Convert to Christianity to be Saved?, I started another writing project: Press on to Maturity.  When I finished it, I still had no idea that I was writing a trilogy.

After a short break, I began yet another writing project: The Faith of Abraham.  That project was well underway before I realized that the three books were connected.  Thus, I combined them under the title The Trilogy.

The faith of Abraham is the primary focus of this book.  It’s a faith with legs—legs that are willing to go where Yahweh leads.  Adherence to Halacha is not a substitute for faith.  This book makes that clear.
