The True Names of Elohim, Yeshua, and Messiah: Unmasking the Catholic Church’s Deception

For centuries, people have been taught to call the Creator "God," the Savior "Jesus," and the Anointed One "Christ." However, these names are not the authentic ones found in the original Hebrew Scriptures. Instead, they are names crafted and adopted by the early Catholic Church to replace the true names: Elohim (אלוהים), Yeshua (ישוע), and Messiah (משיח). When names are translated directly from Hebrew into English without interference, these are the accurate renderings. The substitution of these names was not a simple linguistic adaptation but rather a deliberate act to reshape theology and establish religious authority. The early Catholic Church, emerging as a dominant religious force after the Roman Empire’s embrace of Christianity, sought to control and standardize religious teachings. By replacing sacred Hebrew names with Latinized or Hellenized alternatives, they altered the perception of the divine and redefined spiritual identity. This transformation was not just about language but about shifting theological power, distancing believers from the Hebraic roots of their faith, and creating a centralized doctrine under the control of ecclesiastical authorities.

The issue extends beyond mere names; it reaches into the very text of what people call the "Bible" today. The "Bible" is not a single, unaltered book but a curated selection of texts chosen by the Catholic Church to support its doctrinal narrative. The term "biblical canon" itself is a Catholic construct, defining which books were deemed authoritative while rejecting others that contained knowledge that could challenge their institutional control. However, the true "Scriptures" (כתבי הקודש) exist beyond this man-made selection and are best understood through translations that adhere closely to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and even Greek sources. The Catholic Church’s removal and suppression of various books reveal an intention not to preserve divine truth but to shape it according to their own agenda. This exclusionary process ensured that believers would only access teachings that reinforced church authority rather than those that could lead to personal spiritual awakening and direct communion with Elohim. The Scriptures, as they were originally written, present a much broader and deeper spiritual landscape than what the Catholic-approved Bible presents.

A striking example of the Catholic Church’s control over sacred texts is its removal and suppression of numerous ancient writings. Books such as the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees, and the Wisdom of Sirach—once regarded as sacred by early believers—were systematically erased from mainstream Christianity. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 shed light on many of these lost texts, proving that they were actively used by ancient Jewish and early Messianic communities. Among them were additional psalms (Psalms 151, 154, 155), the Community Rule, the War Scroll, the Temple Scroll, and the Damascus Document, which provide deeper insights into spiritual life and the coming of the true Messiah. Likewise, the Nag Hammadi Library, discovered in 1945, contained numerous Gnostic texts, including the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, and the Apocryphon of John. These writings offered esoteric teachings about Yeshua and divine wisdom that stood in stark contrast to the rigid dogma imposed by the Catholic Church. The fact that these texts were hidden away, burned, or outright banned raises serious questions about what the church sought to suppress.

The suppression of these books was no accident; it was an intentional act of religious control. The early Catholic Church understood that knowledge is power. If people had access to the original texts, they would not be bound by the church’s hierarchical system but could seek Elohim directly. Many of these removed books contain teachings on personal enlightenment, spiritual awakening, and the deep mysteries of creation—concepts that empower individuals rather than place them under religious authority. By restricting access to this knowledge, the Catholic Church maintained its grip on the masses, dictating what was acceptable to believe and what was heretical. Why was the Book of Enoch, which speaks of celestial beings and the spiritual dimensions of existence, excluded? Why were the esoteric sayings of Yeshua in the Gospel of Thomas deemed unacceptable? Because these texts encourage believers to seek wisdom beyond a church institution, which threatened the Catholic hierarchy’s control. The removal of these writings ensured that future generations would remain within the confines of a carefully constructed religious framework, disconnected from the full truth of Elohim’s Word.

Understanding the true names—Elohim, Yeshua, and Messiah—and the original Scriptures is not merely an academic exercise; it is a return to authenticity. It is a call to break free from man-made religion and seek the unfiltered truth. The Catholic Church’s influence has obscured and altered spiritual teachings for centuries, but with modern discoveries of ancient texts, the veil is lifting. Believers must question what they have been taught and seek the original Word, uncorrupted by institutional agendas. The restoration of the lost books, the use of the true names, and the rejection of the Catholic Church’s manufactured doctrine open the door to a deeper and more profound relationship with the Creator. To rediscover the true Scriptures is to break free from deception and return to the path of divine wisdom. The challenge now is to reclaim what was lost and embrace the full truth, no longer bound by a system designed to limit spiritual growth but guided by the unfiltered Word of Elohim.
