PREFACE


In our Western society of religious organizations, we find the fundamental dogma, that is, teachings or beliefs of G-d a complex issue. One can sum up, or determine if their belief in G-d is valid by one question; "what is the Name of the Father, in this age that we live in?" Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.(1)
 

These types of questions stimulate us to seek more light. As we find light, which is to say, knowledge that is truly from G-d, it guides us and we become stronger in our commitment to the purpose of G-d. The higher calling in life is to help G-d fulfill His purpose in creating us. This will give our lives meaning and purpose.
 

When reading my book, bear in mind that by "faith" one does not understand merely that which is uttered with the lips, but also that which the prayerful soul has apprehended. G-d will bring us to the conviction that the object [of belief] is exactly as it is apprehended. If, as regards to supposed truths, your content with giving utterance to them in words, without apprehending them or believing in them, your task is very easy. Especially if one does not seek pure truth. As in fact, one will find many ignorant people professing articles of faith without connecting any idea with them. If, however, your desire is to rise to a higher state, viz., that of reflection, and truly to hold conviction, this book will bring the reader to an assurance that there is one specific name. The one that has been given by G-d whereby we must be saved, and, if we call on Him by that name, with all our heart, He will answer.
 

When browsing through the religious sections of our libraries we see many books alluding to different names of G-d, yet not one gives the reader historical, scriptural and linguistic evidence of how they have arrived at the name they worship. We must come to the true Name of G-d, the Father of us all, and Worship Him Alone.(2)
 

There are authentic proofs still remaining, as seen in this book. When apprehended, they bring us to the peace of mind about G-d's Name, the Name we must all worship if heaven is to be our eternal home. In our dispensation, that is, the period we live in, we find several unsupported, inserted names in modern Bible translations, which is bringing much confusion to believers everywhere. Nevertheless, the things that are revealed(3) belong unto us that we may do the will of the Father. It is our desire that both advanced and beginning students will glean much from this study of the Father's Name.
 

Many written statements are from Rabitical Commentaries,(4) Hertz, Maimonides and Soliveitchik being some of our favorites on the Hebrew Scriptures. We have also gone to great lengths to assure our readers that by scrutiny, the Scriptures support all statements.
 

Dr. David Kiner and Dr. Marvin M. Arnold have given their assistance, encouragement and personal research to help in the writing of this book.
 

God has inspired this great undertaking, giving strength and wisdom through many, that we may have a common consensus in, "The Name of The Father." This work is for those who take salvation seriously. Contained herein are the required witnesses(5) concerning, "The Name of The Father." We must call in truth, with a pure conscience, on the Spirit, who created all things. The infallible proofs given in "THE NAME OF THE FATHER," support scripture when we rightly divide it. We can have assurance that He will answer our call, and Securely Save us through obeying Him, from the pending destruction that this world is about to go through. Call on the L-rd G-d Almighty, the Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent Spirit of Heaven, by His Proper Name. He will answer and make Himself known.
 

Seek ye the L-rd, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the L-rd'S anger.(6)
 

The name of the L-rd [is] a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. Our help [is] in the name of the L-rd, who made heaven and earth. Who [is] among you that feareth the L-rd, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh [in] darkness, and hath no light? Let him trust in the name of the L-rd, and stay upon his G-d. But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. Also the sons of the stranger (Gentile), that join themselves to the L-rd, to serve him, and to love the name of the L-rd, to be his servants, everyone that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices [shall be] accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. For G-d [is] not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. Proverbs 18:10; Psalms 124:8; Isaiah 50:10; Psalms 5:11; Psalms 91:14; Isaiah 56:6-7; Hebrews 6:10-AV

THE SCIENCE OF ONOMASTICS
 

Names have Categories. They call the science that studies names, in all their aspects, onomastics. This means, to study the origin and history of proper names. The subject of this science is broad because almost everything can have a name. Studying names, theoretically, encompasses all languages, all geographical and cultural regions, and all historical epochs, that is, all periods of time. For practical purposes, some divisions of the subject are necessary: e.g., by language (as the study of Kiowa or Provencal names) or by geographical, historical, or similar partitions.
 

As languages developed, names developed also. Viz., Seth was called, "Son of Adam," and only had one identity, Seth. Today we would say Seth Adamson, maintaining the identity of the father, for we believe today that the son is a reflection of the parents, more than himself. Seth however, carried his own identity. The name Seth means, "compensation," that is, given by God because Abel was taken. The name Adam means, "red man," pertaining to "man."
 

The research on this book took over 5 years and the author was awarded a doctorate in Theology. Truly a work of love for His Name Sake.
 

In The "Name" Of The Father, will enhance your understanding of His Divine Essence. It reaches into the past 5000 years, and brings forward the true foundations of His Paleo Hebrew proper name into our modern languages. It exposes the names that have been inserted into our scriptures, either by mistake or intention through the course of transliteration of ancient languages into our modern tongues. Man through these seemingly insignificant changes to G-ds true name, desire us to reverence them as we use them in worship, yet G-d looks at it as strange incense, and we receive no deeper benefits from the Spirit in our life because we ignorantly worship Him by names He will not recognize.
 

To establish one name, a memorial forever, we of course must establish the fact that there is only one G-d. The book exposes the lies of Pantheism, Dualism, Tritheism and brings out the purity of Monotheism. Don't miss your copy of this great study book. It takes you step by step, proving the authenticity of its statements concerning the Name of the Father.
