There could be several titles for this article such as “The Lie Causing the Most Damage to Mankind is in The Bible”; “Don’t Believe This Lie in The Bible” and several others that could be appropriate.
Can this be true, The Bible, a venerable book read, followed and believed by millions of people; alive and deceased, contains the biggest most damaging lie ever told to man? If this statement were true, one would think people would make a concerted herculean effort to discover this lie and have it removed from the pages of a book that has been inexistence for centuries and has been studied by scholars and millions of people.
Worse, this lie is so atrocious that to believe it could mean people who do believe it will not receive the eternal life they mistakenly believe is promised them by a powerful Creator of all things; including the earth, the universe and a heavenly kingdom.
This lie has been believed for centuries, it has been taught as the truth by trusted leaders, scholars, preachers and priests as truth. Some of these people certainly should know or have known better. What is most surprising is that The Bible itself warns its readers not to believe these leaders, in many verses, yet; this lie remains in The Bible and still, in this modern age, readers of The Bible and those who don’t read The Bible have fallen for this most dangerous of all lies. Even more amazing, people have been warned not only by the scriptures, but also by cadres of writers this lie does exist in The Bible and the results of believing this lie will be “CATASTROHPIC”.
Discovering this lie has been made less difficult in the modern age of historical writings that are available from many sources in many differing methods. Libraries contain many books that reveal this lie, and it can easily be discovered by searching on the World Wide Web. What is very interesting is the original scriptures from which The Bible is taken doesn’t contain this most sinister of all lies. In other words, this lie has been spread throughout the world by the English Versions of The Bible. It should be very intriguing to people who read and believe the verses in the Bible, as to just how this lie began and how it has continued to exists even when it has been revealed as a dangerous lie not only by many writers, but also by the scriptures in The Bible itself.
The Messiah himself, while physically on earth, castigated the Religious leaders of this time and those rebukes are printed in The Bible verses by more than one of the writers recorded in scriptures.
Matt 23:27-28
27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
NIV
Matt 23:33-34
33 “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? 34
NIV
Mathew recorded the words of the Messiah regarding the contempt which the Messiah held for the religious leaders who not only hated the Messiah, but were instrumental in seeking to have him killed.
The Apostle Paul was recorded in the scriptures warning the leaders of his day:
1 Cor 2:6-9
6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
NIV
Paul also warned those who heard him while he was alive on earth and those who read The Bible that false teachers and religious leaders would be deceitful, disguising themselves as being workers of and for the Messiah, but were dangerous liars.
2 Cor 11:13-15
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
NIV
These verses are just a few recorded in the New Testament of The Bible, however people were/are also warned in the Old Testament not to believe false teachers by the Prophet Isaiah relaying in the scriptures what the Creator revealed to him.
Isa 44:24-25
I am the Lord, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself, 25 who foils the signs of false prophets and makes fools of diviners, who overthrows the learning of the wise and turns it into nonsense.
NIV
The scriptures are very clear, those who think they are wise, but reject the words of the Creator will regret their refusal to follow the instructions of the Creator recorded in the scriptures; will be shamed and discredited.
Jer 8:9
9 The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the Lord, what kind of wisdom do they have?
NIV
Wise men throughout history have and do reject the words of the Creator and worse they instruct others to believe what they teach, which are largely lies, especially when their teachings contradict the words of Elohim recorded in the scriptures.
The most startling part of the biggest, most damaging lie ever told is not a secret. While the huge lie is prominent in the pages of most English Bibles and people read it many times, they are deceived into believing the lie. There are ample scriptures declaring the devastating effect this lie will have on humankind.
The book of Revelation, which contains many symbolic prophecies, has verses that reveal when the Messiah returns to earth to establish his kingdom, which will be comprised of people who follow and obey him. The Messiah will destroy the people in the world who do not obey him with the sword that comes out of his mouth. Read YNCA article” The S Word”
Rev 1:12-20
12 I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and among the lampstands was someone “like a son of man,” dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
19 “Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later.
NIV
John was instructed by the One who proclaimed he was the first and last and held the keys to death and Hades to write down the prophecies that he would reveal.
Later, in this same book of prophecy, John is shown another vison of a symbolic Being that had some of the same traits of the Being that appeared to John earlier. John was instructed to write down what he was going to be told and the message given was to the seven churches, with the number seven in scriptures symbolizing complete or all the churches. This Being, with the impressive appearance also held in his hand seven lampstands of the seven churches and seven stars which symbolized seven angels of the churches. The Greek word used here for angels, is aggelos, which means a messenger.
NT:32
GREEK aggelos (ang’-el-os); from aggello [probably derived from NT:71; compare NT:34] (to bring tidings); a messenger; especially an “angel”; by implication, a pastor:

Rev 19:11-16
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
NIV
It should not be difficult to understand this symbolic impressive Being who claims to be the first and last, holds the keys to death and hades, has a sharp sword coming from his mouth is the same symbolic Being that is revealed to John in Revelation chapter 19. This impressive appearing Being also has blazing eyes and the armies of Heaven follow him and he will rule the nations with an iron scepter.
The Greek work used here as scepter is : rhabdos
NT:4464
GREEK rhabdos (hrab’-dos); from the base of NT:4474; a stick or wand (as a cudgel, a cane or a baton of royalty):
(Biblesoft’s New Exhaustive Strong’s Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003, 2006 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.)
This impressive Being with blazing eyes, that has many crowns on his head with a sharp sword coming from his mouth with which to slay the nations. He will rule the nations with an iron cudgel, cane, baton or rod that is a symbol of royalty. These verses, when combined with other Bible verses, can leave little doubt this impressive Being that revealed himself to the apostle John and instructed John to write his messages to all the pastor messengers of all the churches in the future can only be the Messiah.
What is very interesting in these verses, with the messages to all the pastor messengers of all the churches, is that the Messiah was issuing a warning to all the churches describing what he didn’t like about their characteristics and teachings. Only the Philadelphia church, or one of brotherly love, did not receive a warning, but was told they would not suffer the trials coming to the other churches and the world.
Rev 3:7-10
“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:
These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars — I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. 10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.
NIV
Read very carefully the message to the assembly of Philadelphia, there is one thing this assembly has done that the Messiah did not mention the other assemblies or churches had done. A very important clue to reveal the biggest lie never told in the history of humankind.
Importance of the two edged sword
Like many items in the scriptures the two edged sword is a symbol and obviously a very important symbol since The Bible declares the Messiah will use the symbolic sword to strike down the nations. The bible also reveals that the Messiah treads the winepress of the wrath of the Almighty. The nations must have done something to anger the Almighty bigtime if he sends his Son to strike down the nations with the symbolic sword that comes out of His Sons, the Messiahs, mouth.
What is the symbolic sword?
Eph 6:17-18
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 1
NIV
Heb 4:12-13
12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
NIV
Another very important piece of telling information is that the Messiah is going to return to earth to set up his kingdom and he will be supported by one hundred and forty-four thousand beings; who have been purchased from among people on earth because they have a very important characteristic. This trait seems to be very important to the Creator and his son, just as it is to them for the members of the Philadelphia assembly who will be protected from the trial period coming to the whole earth.
Rev 14:1-5
4 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps. 3 And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. 4 These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb. 5 No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.
NIV
An important distinctive feature of these 144,000 people who have been redeemed from the earth is that they are all from the tribes of Israel. Rev.7:4 Read YNCAs article (The Importance of the First Fruits.) Also, YNCAs article (Why is Israel Important in the Scriptures?) A clue at this point is: many people who believe they are gentiles are in reality Israelites, this will be a shock to many. The Israelites are not lost, they play a very important part in the Plans the Creator has for humankind.
While the Israelites were chosen by Elohim to be an example to humankind and were chosen to play an important part in world history, the Creator knew they would not always be a good example for people to emulate. The Israelites were chosen to be a prominent example in the scriptures because the Creator knew they would sometimes be an example for not obeying Elohim’s instructions, thus giving the Creator the opportunity to display his benevolent mercy to a disobedient people.
Rom 11:29-32
29 for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable. 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you. 32 For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all
NIV
Notice carefully, all humans are at one time disobedient to Elohim and all humans can receive the mercy of the Creator, but his mercy is not automatic and the Israelites serve as examples of how to receive or not receive the Creator’s mercy.
Eph 5:3-7
3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person — such a man is an idolater — has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.
Read YNCAs article “How to Recognize an Idol”
Verse 6 In Ephesians chapter 5 is extremely significant in which people are warned not to be deceived with empty words which are exactly what supports the biggest lie ever told in the pages of The Bible. This lie has been proclaimed to the world by supposed wise knowledgeable religious leaders and scholars every day for thousands of years.
The Lie explained
People, mostly Christians, have been told The Bible is the Word of God and is infallible yet, the biggest most damaging lie is in the pages of The Bible and religious leader and scholars have taught, both verbally and in writing, have supported this lie repeatedly.
People have been taught that since the Messiah came to earth and died for their sins the Old Testament teachings, particularly the commandments written in the book of Exodus, are not relevant for modern day Christians.
The third commandment states:
Ex 20:7
7 “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
NIV
The King James Version of the English states the third commandment as:
Ex 20:7
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
The World English Bible states the third Commandment as:
Ex 20:7
One shall not destroy the name of Yahweh your Elohim for he will not be held guiltless by Yahweh who makes his name useless
OT:7723
HEBREW’ (shawv); or shav (shav); from the same as OT:7722 in the sense of desolating; evil (as destructive), literally (ruin) or morally (especially guile); figuratively idolatry (as false, subjective), uselessness (as deceptive, objective; also adverbially, in vain):
(Biblesoft’s New Exhaustive Strong’s Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003, 2006 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.).
The English word vain used in Exodus Chapter 20 :7 is Shav in Hebrew. It means literally ruin, figuratively idolatry false and subjectively useless and deceptive.
The word Lord used in Exodus 20:7 in Hebrew is Yahweh which in Hebrew means self-existent or eternal Strong’s OT: 3068
This means the self-existent eternal Creator told Moses and everyone else, that his name is Yahweh and if anyone causes that Name to become Useless they will be guilty.
But, that is exactly what people have done and continue to do to this very day. People have been and are being lied to by those who deny the name of Yahweh and replace his name with the word lord which means in Hebrew a false God. For a detailed report on who replaced the name of Yahweh with lord read YNCAs article “How the Creators Name was Changed and Why We Should Care”.
People have been told by religious leaders, scholars and publishers that the Name of Yahweh is not necessary to use because God knows when you pray to him he knows whom they are speaking to if their hearts are right.
The Scriptures filled with statements of Yahweh regarding the value he has for his Holy Name and one verse where Yahweh is his one and only Name forever.
Ex 3:13-15
13 ‘The Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them the, God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?”
14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.'”
15 God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers — the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob — has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.
NIV
Again the biggest lie ever told is repeated in the Bible when the authors, editors, and printers substituted the words I AM Who I Am in verse 14 of Exodus chapter 3 as the identity of the Creator Yahweh and substituted the word the lord for Yahweh. In Strong’s dictionary the word is 3068 in verse 15 which should read:
Ex 3:15
15Elohim also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, Yahweh, the Elohim of your fathers — the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac and the Elohim of Jacob — has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.
NIV
In the New International Version of the English Bible there are 23 references to the Holy Name of Yahweh. There are 5000 times the Lord is used in the NIV Bible in place of Yahweh. What an incredible Lie!!
There are some really significant reasons why this lie is important.
Joel 2:30-32
I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. 32 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, among the survivors whom the Lord calls.
NIV
Rom 10:12-13
12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile — the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
NIV
Some have argued that the Name Yahweh is for Jews only; however, even the English Bible states that everyone who calls on the Name of Yahweh will be saved, not Jews alone.
There is much more to the biggest lie ever told to people that exist in the English Version of the Bible.
Why the biggest lie ever told is so harmful?
While most popular religions today teach that Salvation for humans can only come by being baptized in the name of the Son of the Father they wrongly call the lord or god, they teach the name of the Messiah is Jesus.
When the Messiah was about to be sacrificed, by being put to death, for the sins of human kind He prayed to his Father in what should have been a very revealing prayer to people who read the Bible.
John 17:11-12
I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name — the name you gave me — so that they may be one as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me.
NIV
The Messiah was asking his Father Yahweh to protect his earthly followers also by the power of the name his Father Yahweh gave him. The Bible has in its verses, in the New Testament, that the name of the Messiah who was sent to Earth, to be sacrificed for the sins of humans, so people could be saved from their sins and be able to receive eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Acts 4:8-12
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people! 9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple and are asked how he was healed, 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. 11 He is “‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.’
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
NIV
When the Greek words are examined in the above verse, it is revealed that the Messiahs name was not Jesus Christ in the interlinear Greek scriptures.
What is shocking to learn is that the name of the Messiah was never and still is not Jesus, which millions of people believe and have believed for centuries.
When the apostle Peter was defending himself from the Jewish leaders who arrested him for healing a crippled man in the name of the Messiah he state there is no salvation in which anyone can be saved but the name of the Messiah. A very important fact to know and remember is that Peter could not have been speaking in the English language when he said the name of the Messiah. There is not now nor has there ever been a j or a j sound in either the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic languages. In fact, the early versions of the English Bibles did not have the Messiahs name as Jesus.
Read: The YNCA article (The Mistaken J)
NT 2424
GREEK Iesous (ee-ay-sooce’); of Hebrew origin [OT:3091]; Jesus (i.e. Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Israelites:
OT:3091
< HEBREW Yehowshuwa` (yeh-ho-shoo’-ah); or Yehowshu`a (yeh-ho-shoo’-ah); from OT:3068 and OT:3467; Jehovah-saved; Jehoshua (i.e. Joshua), the Jewish leader: -Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua. Compare OT:1954, OT:3442.
(Biblesoft’s New Exhaustive Strong’s Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003, 2006 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.)
Note very carefully the Greek word Iesous is taken from the Hebrew word Joshua according to Strong’s bible dictionary. But remember there was no j or j sound in either Hebrew or Greek the name was also not Joshua. Remember the Messiah prayed to his Father Yahweh and stated that Yahweh had given his Son, the Messiah, His name the name of the Father Yahweh.
It should be plain to see that the name of the Messiah was and still is Yahshua which means in Hebrew Yahweh is Salvation.
Remember the third commandment in which Yahweh stated that anyone who causes the name Yahweh to be useless or vain will not be held guiltless? Also, remember that the Apostle Peter proclaimed in the scriptures that there was no other name except Yahshua, which means Yahweh is salvation, by which anyone can achieve salvation.
Also remember the scriptures that proclaim that only those who call upon the name of Yahweh will be saved.
Joel 2:30-32
I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. 32 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, among the survivors whom the Lord calls.
NIV
Rom 10:12-13
12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile — the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
NIV
In both the Old and New Testament scriptures people must call upon the Name of Yahweh to be saved and there are no exceptions. It is Yahweh’s law.
There is more detail on how the biggest lie ever told is in The Bible in The YNCA articles “The Mistaken J” “How The Creators Name Was Changed and Why We Should Care” and “The S Word”.
The biggest lie ever told is in the Bible and millions will believe that lie because they listen to and believe their religious leaders, but they will have no excuse for their actions when they face judgement.
John 15:20-24
Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He who hates me hates my Father as well.
NIV
The Philadelphia assembly and the 144,000
It is very significant for people to understand that out of all the Churches/Assemblies in the world only those that have the one trait described by the Being that is the first and last and holds the keys to death and hades in the Book of Revelations will miss the testing that is to come to the entire population of Earth. The Philadelphia Assembly did not deny the name of the Messiah/ Father.
The 144,000, which may be a symbolic number, that will be with the Messiah when he returns to Earth have the name of the Father/ Son on their foreheads symbolizing that these people redeemed from the Earth know and use the correct name of the Creator and did not break the third commandment.
The scriptures reveal that there will be no eternal life for anyone that does not call on the correct names of the Father and Son. The biggest lie ever told is in the English version of the The Bible and this lie could result in no salvation and no eternal life for those who are deceived by this incredible lie.
John 15:22-24
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He who hates me hates my Father as well.
NIV
He who has an ear let him understand.
