What About the Title 'God?'
The 'Almighty' is also called 'God' in the English Bible. The term 'God' was derived from the Hebrew word 'לוהים'—'Elohim', which means 'Mighty One'. God can imply a number of things, according to the Bible concordances, including 'a mighty one or ones, an angel, judges, foreign mighty ones, or deities, as well as the Almighty YaHuWaH'. So the title 'God' can be used for any deity, even angels and people.
The following is a list of some of the generic names that use God, Gud, and Gott. These names were used among the Teutonic tribes:
Goda
Is a proper name for an idol!
Woden
The name of the highest god was also called 'Witan'
Odan
The day of the week 'Wednesday' or some would say
God-enstag
Is named after the Teuton deity! 'Gott' (pronounced God)
and is the name of a Norse Pagan deity...
Can you see where these titles have originated from?
Exodus Chapter 23 Verse 13
"And in all that I have said to you, take heed. And make no mention of the names of other mighty ones; let it not be heard from your mouth."
God is not a name. Similar to Mr and Mrs or Doctor and Lord, it is a title. The word 'God' originated from the names of pagan idols and can refer to any deity, or even people.
We are instructed in the scriptures to call upon His name, not His title...
Another interesting thing to note is that the word 'God' is very similar to the word 'Gad' (spelt Gad in our Bibles but pronounced God) which is the name for a pagan fortune deity. This is confirmed in:
Isaiah Chapter 65 Verse 11
"But you are those who forsake YaHuWaH, who forget My set-apart mountain, who prepare a table for Gad (pagan fortune deity pronounced God), and who furnish a drink offering for Meni (pagan god of money)."
Isn't it intriguing that the words "In God (Gad) we trust" appear on a US dollar bill, also known as 'money' (meni)? Basically, it says that we trust in a pagan fortune deity. Do you see how these pagan god names have infiltrated our English language and, more importantly, our scriptures to corrupt the most powerful name above all names? And we don't even realise it!
The Hebrew word 'Elohim' (rendered 'God' in the Bible) describes YaHuWaH's character as one of supreme power. It does not originate from Pagan sources...
The word Elohim comes from the word 'Eloah' and the root word 'EL' in Hebrew. For every Hebrew letter, there is a pictograph.
The pictograph for the first letter, an Aleph (from right to left), is an ox, which represents strength. The second letter, a Lamed, is a staff that represents authority. Combined, the original definition of EL is one of strength and authority—'The 'Mighty One' or 'The Almighty'.
The ancient Hebrews also considered the staff as a yoke:
A team of oxen yoked together pulls a cart or plough. To train the younger oxen, an older, more experienced ox as the leader was yoked to the younger.

The Hebraic meaning of 'El' (God) is a powerful leader. The ancient Hebrews saw themselves yoked to the Almighty, who taught them how to walk a proper, right path through life.

A much more powerful picture of the Most High, don't you think?
Genesis Chapter 14 Verse 22 says:
"El, Most High, Creator of heaven and earth."
The Hebraic
understanding of this verse is:
El (The Almighty/God—the Strong, Powerful Leader) brought together the heavens and the earth as a nest for His children so He could nurture and care for them as a mother (as a mother bird who feathers her nest and looks after her young) and teach and guide them into truth by yoking them to Himself.
Our heavenly Father’s name is not 'God' or 'Lord'. They are titles that originate from pagan deities and were chosen by those who translated the Bible.
His name is YaHuWaH as written in the original Hebrew scriptures.
YaHuWaH literally means HE who exists eternally (the very character of who the Almighty is). Elohim means one of strength and authority.
Thus, YaHuWaH Elohim means:
The Almighty, Powerful One. He who exists eternally. He yokes Himself to His people to teach and guide them how to walk through life.
How amazing is that!?
