Greetings

In reading the writings this morning i encountered the following verse in the translation called "The Scriptures" by the Institute of Scripture Research:

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 8:8 "How do you say, 'We are wise, and the Torah of Yah the eternally self existing is with us'?  But look, the false pen of the scribe has worked falsehood."

This is a sobering reminder that one of the reasons Judah went into exile in Babylon was that the scribes, part of the religious establishment, had corrupted the Torah (laws / commandments) of Yah the eternally self existing.

It is suggested by some that this included replacing the name or phrase "Yahooeh" or "Yah the eternally self existing" with "Elohim", a tradition that continues today with the use of the word "God" instead of "Mighty One" or "Yahooeh" / Yah the eternally self existing as appropriate.

The Spirit of the Almighty has indicated to the writer over several years that the scribes also substituted "Yah", the essential Name of the Almighty with "Elohim" prior to the Babylonian exile and that accordingly, the inconsistent use of the word "God" as a title in English translations stems from that date.

It is really important to take account of verses such as the above and to be aware of the extent of error in the Hebrew texts which are so widely accepted as without error.

Note that the Muhammed repeatedly warned that the "book" versions of the book in his day were corrupt.

The above point is not one that can be proven intellectually, it requires prayerful consideration and you might like to take time and ask the Almighty to give you confirmation by way of clear signs.

Warm regards and blessings
