Recently I received an email teaching from a Ministry headed by a man who refers to himself as a Rabbi (further than that I do not wish to identify the person as the identy is irrelevant). What bothered me about this "new teaching"!!! was that when giving a Scripture reference to 2nd Corinthians the man wrote 2 CoriYah. Frankly I was
speachless, some might say 'gob smacked'.
It seems that there is a growing trend to try to fit YAH into every title and every name. The question is by doing so
are we in danger of breaking the 3rd commandment? We are told not to take THE NAME 'in vain' (KJV) rendered
'to naught' in The Scriptures. The Hebrew word is "Shav" defined by Brown-Driver-Briggs as, 'emptiness, vanity,
falsehood,nothingness, emptiness of speech, lying, worthlessness"
Now my understanding is that the letter to the Corinthians was written to a group of followers in Corinth.
Corinth being a Greek city had a Greek Name. THE NAME being Hebrew does not fit into a Greek name even though the people to whom the letter was written were followers of YAH.
By trying to fit the Name of Yah into the a Greek name is our enthusiasm for HIS NAME getting so out of hand that we are in danger of making THE NAME so common that we bring it to NO ACCOUNT? And thereby break the 3rd Commandment??
The aim of this forum is to promote a better understanding of Yah's Set Apart Name.

Good question Lamed.
I have seen some write Messiah as MessiYah and others write Mashiyach.
Is MessiYah correct?

The Ibriy word "mashiach" or "mashiyach" means "anointed." It is translated as "messiah" only in the book of Daniye'l in the KJV. Some other versions sprinkle it liberally throughout their texts.
In the Greek the word "kristos" (pronounced kris-tos; short "i") means the same thing, anointed, and is rendered as "Christ" with a long "i." (Note the mispronunciation.)
The word "messiah," no matter how it is spelled is a poor attempt at transliteration by the translators of the KJV and the error has been perpetuated by most of the succeeding versions, but appending the "yah" to make it appear that it is partly of the name of Yahwauh is even worse.

Hello Batyah, Sorry no one has yet answered your question.
Ibriy is the correct transliteration of the word " Hebrew".

Hi Lamed,
I think you are right about the adding "Yah" to everything.
Does seem as though it would be taking things to far to add Yah to Greek
words and Names. We are supposed to know that Yahuwah's Name is Set Apart
and very very special. There is Power in the NAME that is not in any other Name,
certainly not in Greek.
