Why I Stopped Using God is a Shabbat Scripture Study Live exploring why Scripture emphasizes YAHUAH’s Name, how titles replaced it, and what the text actually says about calling on His Name.

This track is a documentary-style prophetic teaching set to music, focused on the restoration of the Creator’s true Name.

For generations, believers were taught to address the Creator using titles such as “God” and “Lord,” never realizing these are not personal names but replacements. Scripture repeatedly warns that YAHUAH’s Name would be blasphemed, forgotten, profaned, and removed during exile and scattering. It also promises that His Name would be restored in the latter days.

This song walks through that pattern using direct Scripture from the Torah, the Prophets, the Apostolic writings, and the Apocrypha. It confronts the idea that confusion is accidental and instead shows, according to the text, that confusion was a promised consequence of forsaking the covenant.

Key passages include Deuteronomy 28:20, 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 2 Esdras 2:6–7, Matthew 7:21–23, and Revelation 2:9 and 3:9, revealing how names, identity, and worship were altered, and how many sincerely believe they know the Creator while calling on a name He never gave.

This is not an attack piece. It is a call to slow down, re-read the Book, and ask an honest question:

If we believe in the Creator, do we also believe what He said about His Name?

We The Assembly exists to encourage Scripture-first study, humility, and restoration of truth without tradition, fear, or inherited assumptions.

YAHUAH Reveals His Own Name

Scripture

Exodus 3:13–15

13 And Moses said unto ALUAH, Behold, when I come unto the children of Yahshar'al, and shall say unto them, The ALUAH of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

14 And ALUAH said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Yahshar'al, I AM hath sent me unto you.

15 And ALUAH said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Yahshar'al, YAHUAH ALUAH of your fathers, the ALUAH of Abraham, the ALUAH of Isaac, and the ALUAH of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

Simple Explanation

Moses asked for a Name.

The people wanted to know who sent him.

YAHUAH answered.

YAHUAH gave His Name.

YAHUAH said His Name lasts forever.

YAHUAH said His Name is remembered.

Common Misunderstanding

Some think the Name does not matter.

Why did YAHUAH answer with a Name?

His Name Is YAH

He does not share it.

Qualifying Thoughts

What does it mean that He names Himself?

His Name Is Meant to Be Known

Scripture

Isaiah 52:5–6

5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith YAHUAH, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith YAHUAH; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.

6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.

Simple Explanation

YAHUAH says His Name was treated wrongly.

He also says His people will know it.

Scripture

Deuteronomy 12:5

But unto the place which YAHUAH your ALUAH shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:

Scripture

Deuteronomy 12:11

Then there shall be a place which YAHUAH your ALUAH shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto YAHUAH:

25 YAHUAH make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

26 YAHUAH lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

Do Not Take His Name in Vain

Scripture

Exodus 20:7

Thou shalt not take the name of YAHUAH thy ALUAH in vain; for YAHUAH will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Simple Explanation

Vain means empty.

Vain means false.

This is about more than speech.

Common Misunderstanding

Many think this only means bad words.

Scripture connects the Name to actions too.

Qualifying Thoughts

How do actions connect to the Name?

Have I heard this explained before?

Do Not Trust Man

Scripture

Jeremiah 17:5

Thus saith YAHUAH; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from YAHUAH.

The Name Is Profaned by People

Scripture

Ezekiel 36:20–23

20 And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my set apart name, when they said to them, These are the people of YAHUAH, and are gone forth out of his land.

21 But I had pity for mine set apart name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.

22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord YAHUAH; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine set apart name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.

23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am YAHUAH, saith the Lord YAHUAH, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

Simple Explanation

YAHUAH says His Name was profaned.

People caused this.

YAHUAH cares about His Name.

YAHUAH says He will make His Name clean again.

He says He will do this Himself.

Common Misunderstanding

Some think the Name cannot be touched.

This verse shows people can profane it.

This verse also shows YAHUAH restores it.

Qualifying Thoughts

Why does YAHUAH speak so strongly here?

Why does He repeat "my name" so many times?

The Name Is Forgotten and Hidden

Scripture

Jeremiah 23:26–27

26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

Simple Explanation

YAHUAH says people forgot His Name.

He says leaders caused this.

He compares it to Baal.

Common Misunderstanding

Some think forgetting the Name is small.

YAHUAH speaks of it as serious.

Qualifying Thoughts

Why would forgetting a Name matter?

Who does YAHUAH say caused this?

Do Not Trust Man

Scripture

Romans 3:4

ALUAH forbid: yea, let ALUAH be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

Scripture

Jeremiah 10:23

O YAHUAH, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

Simple Explanation

Scripture warns about trusting man.

Man can lie.

Man can change things.

YAHUAH remains true.

Qualifying Thoughts

Where did I learn what I believe?

Did Scripture teach me, or did man?

YAHUAH Keeps Teaching His People

Scripture

Isaiah 54:13

And all thy children shall be taught of YAHUAH; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

Scripture

1 John 2:27

But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Simple Explanation

YAHUAH does not stop teaching.

Even after damage, He teaches.

Letters Changed Over Time

Scripture

Psalm 118:8

It is better to trust in YAHUAH than to put confidence in man.

Simple Explanation

This verse reminds us again.

Trust YAHUAH.

Do not trust man fully.

Over time, letters changed.

Sounds shifted.

Men made choices.

Hebrew did not use the letter J.

Hebrew did not depend on vowels like English.

These changes came later.

They came from men.

Qualifying Thoughts

Why does Scripture warn us so often?

What happens when we forget that men change things?

Hosea and the House of Yahu

Scripture

Hosea 1:4

And YAHUAH said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

Simple Explanation

The verse says "Jehu" in English.

It uses the letters J and E.

Earlier, we learned this:

The letter J came later.

The letter J once sounded like Y.

The letter E often replaced A.

When these later letters are removed,

the name reads Yahu.

This points to the House of Yahu.

This is not forced.

The verse is not changed.

The letters are examined.

Common Misunderstanding

Some think this changes Scripture.

Scripture stays the same.

Only letter history is reviewed.

Qualifying Thoughts

Why would letters matter here?

Why does this appear in a warning book?

YAHUAH Promises Restoration

Scripture

Zephaniah 3:9

For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of YAHUAH, to serve him with one consent.

Simple Explanation

YAHUAH promises clean language.

He connects this to His Name.

He does this Himself.

Qualifying Thoughts

What does "pure language" mean here?

Why does it connect to His Name?

The Name Is Placed Again

Scripture

Revelation 3:12

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my ALUAH, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my ALUAH, and the name of the city of my ALUAH, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of shamayim from my ALUAH: and I will write upon him my new name.

Scripture

Revelation 14:1

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

Simple Explanation

The Name is written again.

The Name is placed again.

This matches earlier Scripture.

Qualifying Thoughts
