How God is Called God

by Guy C. LaMar

Friends, how is it that “God” is called “God” by the native tongues of various regions around the world!?

English-speaking Americans use the term “God” when referring to the Eternal One.

The actual word “god” is a pagan word. But has been adopted by the English-speaking world as a term meaning the Almighty Eternal Creator of the Holy Bible. Thus the very term “God” is recognized by the extreme majority of the Western world – the English speaking language – as the Almighty Eternal Creator of the Holy Bible.

Words are altered with time to various meanings.

As an example, the word “gay” once only meant “happy.”

Now, while scant usage of the word referring to homosexuals dates to the late 19th century, the usage of the word “gay” to mean homosexuals or their lifestyle truly picked up steam in the mid-20th century. 1 In modern English, the word “gay” came to be used as an adjective, as well as a noun, referring to homosexuals and their lifestyle. In the 1960s, “gay” became the word favored by homosexuals to describe their abominable lifestyle. Thus, they adopted the word “gay” to relate to themselves.

The true language of the Eternal is known by no human.

Personally, I use the term “the Eternal” often when referring to our Creator.

The name “God” is greatly recognized by the world as a reference to the Eternal.

So, I use the word “God” as referring to our Creator because it’s my native language.

I’m not Hebrew so I don’t use the term “Jehovah,” or “Yahweh” or “Elohim” and such and so on. Plus the “Y”, “V” and “H” wasn’t part of the Hebrew alphabet 4,500 years ago. 2

So, it was of a different speaking Hebrew language of that time. No one in modern times knows what the true actual term for our Creator was from that era.

Those who wrap themselves up in sacred names are only spinning their wheels with insanity to conjure up a particular name.

In the soon-coming kingdom of God, our Creator will tell us that He will give us a NEW NAME –

Isaiah 62:2 – “The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, And all the kings your glory. You shall be called by a new name, Which the mouth of the LORD will name.”

Revelation 3:12 – “’ He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.’”

Some folks are just wasting their time by trying to go after the correct name for the Eternal – of which does not even exist on record nowadays in relation to the Almighty Eternal Creator.

In the Arabic nations, which are majority MOSLIM, they call “God” Allah.

Understand – their description of God is NOT the God of the Holy Bible when it comes to their religion. The Arabic religion is mostly that of the Moslim religion. In their religion, they have a perverted god – which is the “god of this age” – 2 Corinthians 4:4 – Satan the devil.

“Moslim” used to be the name for the Islam religion for those of the Arabic people. Now it’s called Muslim.

The term Moslim was used mostly until the latter part of the 20th century. Then it was changed to Muslim.

Why!?

“Muslim” in Arabic means ‘a person who submits to God,’ and is by definition, someone who adheres to Islam.

But “Moslem” or Moslim” (which are pronounced and mean the same thing) in the Arabic language was found to mean ‘one who is evil and unjust’ when the word is pronounced, as in the English language. 3

Thus, the MOSLIMS actually DO NOT like to be called this any longer.

And, this is why I mostly call them “Moslims,” because it is a false satanic religion.

As a true Christian, I am a follower of Christ Jesus.

The 1st Commandment is not to have any other gods before the One true God – cf. Exodus 20:3.

The 2nd Commandment is not to worship idols – cf. Exodus 20:4-6.

This is what these evil doers of these false religions are in fact doing!

“Kami” is the word for god, deity, divinity, or spirit in Japanese.

“Kami” (often taken to mean “gods”) are the spirits, phenomena, or “holy powers” that are venerated in the religion of Shinto. So, if you are in Japan, you’d say “kami” so that they would understand that you’re talking about God.

But as for the RELIGIONS of Japan (primarily Shintoism and Buddhism) when they think of “God” – their very word “kami” truly conjures up a false god.

As for languages in the many regions of the world, “God” is pronounced differently than the way the Western nations pronounce “God.”

Yet RELIGIONS are NOT actually that greatly important to most who profess the titles of a certain religion.

Moslems, Christians Buddhists, Hindus, and so on may indeed claim the title and religion – but that is as far as they truly take it.

The greater majority in today’s societies DO NOT truly stand by the religion of which they profess.

It is only the religious people that seem to get out of sorts over religion.

As a minister, it is my job to be religious in my religion of Christianity. But most people I meet, who claim the title of Christian, don’t appear to give it much thought. It isn’t something that dictates their lifestyle. Thus, they are just lip service religious. They talk the talk but don’t walk the walk.

So, when I see someone who is a said MOSLEM, they think far less about their religion than I do. It is just a title to them, with no deep meaning. It is like those who profess to be a Christian. They go under the umbrella of Christianity during Easter and Christmas time. But, it is just for show, and even then it doesn’t carry any weight or meaning to them. Just a chore of activities which happens once a year by man-made traditions.

So I refuse to get bent out of shape over what religions people embrace.

I understand that God has NOT even called the majority of this world!

In fact – only a small mustard seed few have been chosen by God at this present time and in this age to His truth.

It is rather a pompous thing to attack others for things that they have not been called to understand yet – and certainly, that has not been chosen to understand yet.

God’s people are to be a light unto the world. Not to be of darkness.

God’s people need to focus on themselves so in order to shine the light of Christ for others to see Christ in them. Not browbeating others over things they have NOT been given knowledge of yet.

Brethren – be a good example.

People of false religions need to be treated as Jesus Christ would treat them – Matthew 7:12 – “’ Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.’” The “Golden Rule.” I may HATE false religions, but that has nothing to do with the people. Though the people who get wrapped up in these false religions may be the very ones who become evil. For them, I’ve only got great pity for them.

Let us not strain a gnat to swallow a camera with hang-ups on words and concerning ourselves over things we cannot fix.

Like my Maw Maw used to say, “Don’t cry over spilt milk!” □
