What is the PERSONAL name of our Planet's Creator? Does anyone KNOW?

Nobody knows but my sense is that our Creator God (the Logos) may know! What do you think?

Is there a Higher Power which rules over this planet/universe? My sense is absolutely! What is this spirit's personal 'name'? That is the mission of today's missive.

As I look up to the skies, I witness real 'intelligence' behind the scene. It seems obvious to me that a Higher Power resides behind the observations which I make. The objects I witness (Sun, Moon, Galaxies, Earth, Animals, People) proclaim that some 'intelligence' or some great architect must be a reality to consider.  It was NOT a human being IMO. We have many 'titles' for this Higher Power/Architect. Some of the common 'titles' (not a personal name) are the following:

1. Creator

2. Lord

3. Most High God

4. Elohim

5. Ancient of Days

6. Sovereign King

7. Architect of the Universe

8. Father God

All the above 'titles' do not give me a PERSONAL name for this Higher Power, however. Based on history it would appear that this Source does have a personal name(s). A personal 'name' is important so that I can give due credit to this Higher Power which governs our planet (and universe). Titles are mere identity marks. When I read scripture the following personal 'names' are presented for my consideration:

1. HaShem (this is a short name for the tetragrammton)

2. Yahweh (the personal name of God in Hebrew)

3. Jehovah (a personal name of God in English)

4. I AM that I AM (the name of God given to Moses)

My reading of history confirms to me that any personal 'name' gives special meaning to this Higher Power (his/her reality). History also confirms that most human beings DO NOT apply any special name to this Source. Many Christians have exalted this Messiah person, Jesus/Yeshua, to Godhood. But this exaltation does not seem valid to me. A prior human Jew (fully human) can not act as our Creator God (IMO). In other words, a 'created' being can not also be THE CREATOR (simultaneously). This makes no logical sense to me. Can a human man be God Almighty?

History reveals that a personal God did perform special acts for these people which we call the JEWS. The exit (freedom) from Egypt is the key act which a personal God performed for these people IMO.  Actually, the Jews are merely ONE tribe within a greater collection of tribes called Israelites. Some 12 tribes of Israel did adopt this Higher Power, called Yahweh, as their God (today Jews use the word HaShem in lieu of Yahweh). The personal name, Yahweh, is viewed by many Jews as too special (its called the tetragrammaton). This term has no vowels (only YHWH). Today, scholars accept the personal name Yahweh as a valid name for the tetragammaton.

When this Messiah person, Jesus/Yeshua, was born (sometime around 4 B.C.) this Jew did special acts that were viewed as God like to many. After this Jew died (sometime around 33 A.D.) followers exalted this Jew to Godhood (gradually and eventually totally). This happened as these followers believed that this Jew was glorified and then ascended to his God (the Father) after his physical death. This belief created a new covenant and a new religion which eventually became the Christian religion. All this was confirmed by Roman Catholic theologians and via special conferences (the big one being the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D.).

Gradually, over time, this special Jew person, called Yeshua in Hebrew (while living) and Jesus in English (by the Catholic Church), became an EXALTED person within the spiritual realm to worship as God and also as our Creator. At Nicaea (325 A.D.), this person was elevated to an EQUAL with the Old Testament God, Yahweh (also called the Father by these new believers). Gradually, a huge Catholic Church emerged with a Pope and Bishops representing a new set of theological beliefs (doctrines) for believers to accept. This Catholic Church created a New Testament Bible and a special canon (accepted scripture) for members to accept as absolute truth. 

Christianity (after Nicaea) was now a growing belief system for planet Earth. It all started with some 20 serious followers (after the death of Yeshua). These believers assumed that this Jew was our Messiah person (who was glorified within the spiritual realm/our inner consciousness). This belief then grew (over time) to millions of new believers as the traditional Jewish belief system was mostly abandoned by the many (after the DESTRUCTION of the Jewish Temple in 70 A.D. by the Romans). This destruction of the historical 2nd Temple of Yahweh ( located in Jerusalem) created a belief that God (Yahweh of the Old Testament) was changing his goals and purpose for mankind. He was essentially replacing Judaism with a new belief system called Christianity.

The historical Jews believed that their Messiah person would fully LIBERATE them from Roman rule and establish a new KINGDOM for all Israelites. Actually, the original gospel of Yeshua (this Jew from Nazareth) did proclaim that a New Kingdom was arriving during his lifetime. When this idea was squashed by the complete Destruction of the House of Yahweh (called the 2nd Temple) this new religion (called The Way/Christianity) emerged (gradually) as the REPLACEMENT for historical Judaism. Jews were now being marginalized (politically and religiously) as being LESS than God's real servants (by many believers). The Temple's destruction was clear evidence of rejection!

As the years passed a New Gospel (religion) emerged which fully exalted this dead Jew from Nazareth (now believed to be Deity as he had 'appeared' to select followers as a resurrected person). Gradually, this new religion grew and prospered with the evangelization efforts of another Jew from Tarsus, called Saul (later Paul). The historical beliefs of the orthodox Jews (prior to Paul) were mostly discarded as irrelevant for this NEW GOSPEL of Salvation proclaimed by this new group of believers. Salvation (from one's SIN) was the NEW GOSPEL for this new religion called Christianity. Get yourself SAVED was the message for believers. Saved was accomplished by this newly exalted (glorified) person called Jesus Christ (now at the right-hand side of Authority in heaven)!

The historical Yahweh was gradually REPLACED (as the ONE/only God) with a new TRINITY doctrine to cement these new beliefs. The Jewish, Yahweh, now became the Christian Jesus Christ. All this was later called REPLACEMENT theology by the Catholic/Protestant churches. The cement for these new beliefs centered on this TRINITY doctrine (three god persons being ONE Godhead). It all seemed logical and true to these Christian believers (who followed the dictates from their headquarters/ROME). Some two thousand years of Christian doctrines and beliefs continue today within some 4,000 different denominations. But it's all ending with our End-times events now in progress. Apostasy is now in place for most of these 4,000 Christian denominations.

A new set of End Time beliefs are now being promulgated which ENDS (essentially) the so-called Church Age (Christianity) as these Church Age believers get RAPTURED (bodily) into the clouds above (pursuant to their scriptural interpretations). This Rapture concept is the new doctrine which allows all these Replacement believers (Christians) to escape any serious TRIBULATION of the real God which is now reemerging back into the situation. This real God is the God of the historical Jews (Israelites) called Yahweh (who now reemerges as the God of planet Earth). All the prior doctrines are being abandoned (gradually) with this escape theology (called the Rapture of the Church). It all seems like a fantasy set of beliefs to me. But who knows? Beliefs are powerful ideas!

The so-called Christian belief system is crumbling IMO and church attendance is waning. Fights over valid end-times prophecy is happening within this crumbling church edifice. Who will get raptured? When will the tribulation start? When does the Anti-Christ arrive? When will Armageddon finalize all events? The interpretations are endless and diverse. Who has the valid information for all these believers who thought that their Messiah was God Almighty and their SOLE salvation from sin was this Jew from Nazareth? Many are now abandoning this historical Jew for a 2nd Coming Jew. Yes, a 2nd Coming Jew is now assumed within the core doctrines of these Christian thinkers!

The new concept is that a 2nd coming of this Jew from Nazareth will happen in the near future (probably today). This Jew (now glorified) and living within the spiritual realm (next to Yahweh God) will descend from his position of prominence and SAVE all these Christians (the special ones) via a bodily rapture into the CLOUDS above. Christians are WAITING patiently for this rapture event to happen (any day now). When this event happens (they say) then the real TRIBULATION (Jacob's Trouble) will develop for everyone else. You can I can then experience total chaos on this planet as we WATCH the special ones ASCEND into the clouds above! It's all amazing and yet believed by many!

It appears that BELIEFS are key to ones worldview. Personally, I view the above rapture beliefs and the Deity beliefs of my Christian friends as pure fantasy. I view these beliefs as invalid logic and invalid interpretations of Holy Scripture. But who knows? My beliefs are merely my assumptions about reality. I must accept all beliefs even as I REJECT those beliefs which I find questionable. I imagine that you must do likewise. Anyway, we are living in INTERESTING times. Events will happen and then I can digest these events for myself. This missive is merely my set of beliefs and ASSUMPTIONS. I am human and therefore fallible! Have a great day!
