YAHWEH is God’s Name ‘I Am’. If you spell it in Ancient Hebrew the letters are a picture of Messiah our Creator with His arms stretched out & His hands hooked by nails to the execution stake!

Uh, yeah. I don't think so.
Oh, come on, just looking at the Hebrew alphabet could clear that one up...are fundies all so convinced of the accuracy of everything they pull out of their asses that they can't be bothered to check?
@ Septic Sceptic
Good one!

Heh. Simpson's Bible Stories, anyone?
"Giant eye, dead fish, cat head, cat head, cat head, guy doing this" (Pharaoh Skinner's dictation)
So, you have two gods?
One named YAHWEH and one named Messiah?
Doesn't that kinda violate your first commandment?
The stake thing is Jehovah's Witness I think (or Seventh Day Adventist, I get them mixed up sometimes). For whatever reason, they're convinced that the "true" translation doesn't say crucifix, but stake, and they'll argue it like it's a major tenet of their Christian faith.

I don't think you could imagine someone hanging from a stake in that even if you used LSD.
Let's see... in standard Hebrew, YHWH looks a little like Stonehenge, and in paleo-Hebrew, it looks sort of like a trellis. I have no idea how you get a picture of a crucifixion out of that.
YAHWEH was an ancient moon god of the northern hebrews. May have been an old Amorite deity. Also, for a long time the name was interchangeable with Baal. This from the dictionary of non-classical mythology. Egerton Sykes. Oh and Yahweh had a wife, I believe Her name was Ashtart or Ashtoreth.
aqualung: That's exactly what I was thinking.
This quote doesn't surprise me at all. After all, that same thread includes comments that state the English KJV is more accurate than the Greek. Because - get this - the English and Latin texts came first.
When I see people that have such a complete denial of reality, it makes me weep for humanity.
Actually, according to some other weirdo fundies (who seem proficient in this, their pet subject) in ANCIENT Hebrew it looked more like this:

But I still find it difficult to see what The Welders Wife is seeing.
Perhaps a trip to the optometrist is on the cards?
The ANCIENT Hebrew letters (look up YHWH on Wikipedia, there's a pic) have one letter that looks kind of like a capital Y. I guess you could say that's him, but the rest is totally in her imagination. And by this interpretation, anyone named TIMMY or LARRY could very well be the second coming, as long as he spells his name in all caps! Or Yves, if he doesn't! But I somehow doubt that these fundies think that the 2nd coming would be French...
That's eerily close to sounding like highway spelled backwards... wait...arms stretched out... what has arms that stretch out all over the world... I get it, god is our highways!! Quickly, everyone join the adopt a highway program!!
@Doctor Whom
That was just God's nickname. God's full name is "I am what I am, and what I am needs no excuses." (wonders who will get the reference)

God beats his own drum, too. (Yes, I get the reference.)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
