P. 22

Such sanctimonious religious zeal reminds me of Paul’s warning
  about the misdirected zeal of the Jewish leaders in his day:

     “BRETHREN, MY HEART'S DESIRE AND PRAYER TO GOD FOR ISRAEL IS                           Paul
                                    THAT THEY MAY BE SAVED.                               Moses
                                                                                          Jesus
                                FOR I BEAR THEM WITNESS THAT
THEY HAVE A ZEAL FOR GOD, BUT NOT ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE.

              FOR THEY BEING IGNORANT OF GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS,
             AND SEEKING TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS,
            HAVE NOT SUBMITTED TO THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD.”

“YOU SHALL NOT                                     Rom. 10:1-4

ADD TO THE WORD
WHICH I COMMAND YOU,
NOR TAKE FROM IT,
THAT YOU MAY KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS
OF THE LORD YOUR GOD WHICH I COMMAND YOU.”

"ALL TOO WELL YOU                                  Deut. 4:2-3

REJECT THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD,
THAT YOU MAY KEEP YOUR TRADITION…
MAKING THE WORD OF GOD OF NO EFFECT
THROUGH YOUR TRADITION
WHICH YOU HAVE HANDED DOWN.” Mark 7:9-13

Man has always had a tendency to add to God’s Word. Consider the first account:

“…AND THE WOMAN SAID TO THE SERPENT, "WE MAY EAT THE FRUIT OF THE TREES OF
THE GARDEN; BUT OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREE WHICH IS IN THE MIDST OF THE GARDEN,

                                                      GOD HAS SAID,
           'YOU SHALL NOT EAT IT, NOR SHALL YOU TOUCH IT, LEST YOU DIE.'“ Gen. 3:1-3

The last statement above did not originate from the Creator’s mouth but from His
creation, mankind. Now we have instituted a rule, a regulation of self-righteousness
created by mankind to make him/her appear outwardly more holy. What did Eve do?
She added to the Word, she improved on what the Almighty had said was sufficient.
Hear this well: What began with Eve in the Garden is still going on today.
The Almighty records in His Word literal names for Himself that were revealed in
order for mankind to know Him more fully through those names/titles.
The Late Herb Jahn, an excellent Exegete of the scriptures, in his Exegeses Parallel
Bible, made this statement regarding the widespread tradition of Rabbinic-based
scholars steeped in man-made traditions freely substituting other names for the
Almighty because, according to their long-standing traditions, those sacred names are
just “too holy” to be pronounced by mere man:

“… Elohim the Father first revealed His name to Mosheh (Moses) as HYH – the
eternal I AM. … However, Most Versions (of the Bible) often render the name

          Yah Veh incorrectly with the title “LORD” – all capital letters.
          This is a caving in to the traditions of certain Hebrews

              who said His name was too holy to pronounce.”
             In most Versions, the name Yah Veh is also mistranslated

               with the title “Lord “ throughout the New Covenant.”
