When you read all the lessons on this web site, you will realize that what you have been taught of the Bible is untrue.

If you come to this web site with a closed mind, why waste your time? If you want truth no matter where the Bible leads you, you have come to the right place. The masses throughout the world have been taught that all scripture is inspired! This is a one scripture doctrine, in the book of 2Tim.3:16, ALL SCRIPTURE IS INSPIRED OF GOD……
Let’s use the brain we all have! The writings of the Father’S Prophets, called by man, the Old Testament, was written long before man decided to preach the N.T. son sacrifice with a different twist, that Ahaz did in 2 Kings Chapter 16.
Son sacrifice is a abomination of the heathen. What does the Father Yahweh, of the writings of the Prophets, have to say about what Paul says in 2 Tim.3:16 ?
JER.8:8, HOW DO WE SAY WE ARE WISE, AND THE LAW OF the Father IS WITH US? LO, THE FALSE PEN OF THE SCRIBES HAVE FALSIFIED THEM, AND WRITTEN THE WRONG.
Wake up ! Son sacrifice is abomination, murder ! Open your minds, read the real truth on this web site, it is free, it does not cost tithes, or offerings, don’t let the clergy scam you of your time, and money. They scam you so easy, because you have hope of an after life. Free yourself from those clergy that steal from you, and lie to you, with the help of their writings called the N.T. Yes, the truth will set you free of the lies that are preached to you
Hello, I’m trying to find the teacher who is convincing many people that the bible is a fairytale. The individuals making the claim don’t use any real reason and it’s very difficult to have a sound conversation because of the irrationality of their behavior. Do you have a teacher who taught you to believe these claims?
I’m also noticing the remark about son sacrifice being abominable but the son in this case willing gave up his life to accomplish something that was necessary for the greatest good.
Have you given thought to that yet? If not prehaps it can help you. But I hope it doesn’t lead you slander.
I look forward to your response as a person who seeks truth. Thank you.

I have spent the last two days reading your 33! lessons.
Two of your lessons are flawed: lessons 26 and 33.
But credit is given where it is due, I found most of the lessons (31), full of great insight and reasoning. I have been a true seeker ever since I can remember.
I would believe a “truth” until something else invalidates it. Cognitive dissonance , seems not to affect me.
We all must try to keep an open mind.
Does the name “Jesus” actually mean “Hail, Zeus”?
Jesus Hail Zeus

ANSWER
There are several strange and misleading teachings that make their rounds concerning the name of God and of Jesus Christ; one such false doctrine is the idea that the name of Jesus actually means “Hail, Zeus.” Promoters of this bizarre concept claim that anyone who uses the name Jesus is offering praise to a false god and is not saved. They go so far as to say a person must use only the Hebrew name for Jesus, since there is only one name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12).
First, we will explain the “Jesus-means-hail-Zeus” theory, the best we can. Then we will look at the truth of the matter from a biblical perspective.
Those who teach that the name Jesus means “Hail, Zeus” usually start with the name of God, YAH (see Isaiah 26:4, NET). From that name of God, they take the Messiah’s name to be YAHSHUA, which they say means “YAH Is Salvation.” They contend that is the name used by the apostles and by the Messiah Himself; however, after the apostles were dead and gone, the Roman Church took over Christianity. In order to make their brand of religion more palatable to the pagans, the Roman leaders changed the name of the Messiah into a Greek/Latin hybrid, Iésous, which (supposedly) means “Hail, Zeus.” Since Zeus (or Jupiter) was the chief god in the Greco-Roman pantheon, the pagans had little trouble accepting this new demigod. By changing the Savior’s name, Christianity had been effectively stripped of its Hebrew roots, and the melding with paganism was a success. The Greeks’ savior could still be Zeus. In time, the word Iésous was further corrupted into Jesus in English.
As “proof” for their conspiracy theory that Jesus means “Hail, Zeus,” advocates point to the fact that the second syllable of Jesus (-sus) sounds similar to the name of the chief Greek god. Especially when Jesus is pronounced in Spanish, it becomes “evident” that people are “actually” saying “Hey, Zeus.” Added to these “proofs” is the fact that ancient sculptures of Zeus show him with a beard—just like modern-day pictures of Jesus!
What can we say to such far-fetched nonsense? First, not everyone who has a beard is trying to take the place of Jesus. Second, just because a certain word or word part sounds like another word is no proof of commonality. Basing theories of word origin on pronunciation is preposterous. Humorous sounds exactly like humerus, but there’s nothing particularly funny about the bone that goes from the shoulder to the elbow. Third, the Messiah’s Hebrew name is Yeshua, not Yahshua—the latter being a fabrication in order to make the name sound more like YAH.
Fourth, the Hebrew name Yeshua translates into Greek as Iésous. This is the name that the angel Gabriel commanded Joseph to name Mary’s child: “You are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). The name Jesus is a simply a Greek form of Joshua, a common name among Jews. The same verse also alludes to the meaning of the name: the Lord was to be named Jesus because “he will save his people from their sins.” The name Jesus means “The Lord Saves” or “The Lord Is Salvation.” Whether you spell it Jesus or Joshua or Yeshua, the meaning stays the same, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with Zeus.
Names can and do translate. Changing a name from one language to another does not change the meaning of the name, nor does it change the character or identity of the person. Elizabeth becomes Elixabete, Isabella, Zsoka, or Eliska, depending on the language. But she remains the same girl. A man named Stephen can be called Stephanos, Stefan, Estevao, Teppo, or Estebe, depending on where in the world he is. But he is the same person, regardless of what we call him. Similarly, Jesus and Yeshua refer to the same Person—and it’s not Zeus.
We use the name Jesus, an Anglicized transliteration of the Greek, because Greek is the language that Matthew and Mark and Luke and John wrote their Gospels in and because English is the language we speak. The best translation of Iésous into modern English is “Jesus.”
Part of Timothy’s work as a pastor was to “command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer or to devote themselves to myths” (1 Timothy 1:3–4). Paul was concerned that “such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God’s work—which is by faith” (verse 4). Conspiracy theories and myths regarding the etymology of Jesus’ name are distractions from the true work of God. We should not pay any heed to claims that the name Jesus means anything but what Scripture says it means: “The Lord Saves.”
