First let’s take a look a real name of God from a “The Sacred Scriptures” which translated Torah, Book of Profhets, Psalms, Proverbs and New Testament keeping in original names of God and Son of God.

In Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: Yahweh is our Elohim, Yahweh is one.”Isaiah 45:7,21 “ I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I am Yahweh, that does all these things; Declare you, and bring it forth; yes, let them take counsel together: who has showed this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Have not I, Yahweh? And there is no Elohim else besides me, a just El and a Savior; there is no one besides me” ” Isaiah 46: 5, 9 “To whom you will liking me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be alike?; Remember the former things of old: for I am Elohim, and there is no one else; I am Elohim, and there is no one like me;”

 In The Sacred Scriptures as you see have been used word Elohim, and you will find also El, Adonai, Sabaoth, and El Shaddai, Baal. Let’s take close look definitions of some of these names.                          

 In Wikipedia dictionary definition of

Elohim (אֱלוֹהִים , אלהים ) is a Hebrew word which expresses concepts of divinity. It is apparently related to the Hebrew word ēl, though morphologically it consists of the Hebrew word Eloah (אלוה) with a plural suffix. Elohim is the third word in the Hebrew text of Genesis and occurs frequently throughout the Hebrew Bible. Its exact significance is often disputed. In some cases (e.g. Exodus 3:4, "... Elohim called unto him out of the midst of the bush ..."), it acts as a singular noun in Hebrew grammar, and is then generally understood to denote the single God of Israel. (Wikipedia dictionary).

 In Anchor Bible dictionary we read that

Elohim belongs to the linguistic root of El (god); El and Elohim can be understood as parallel and interchangeable terms ( e.g.,” Sons of El” [Ps 29:1; 89:7] and “Sons of Elohim” [Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7]).The striking feature of the OT text lies in the use of this plural form Elohim in order to designate the one God (Yahweh*) of Israel.

Ēli (Hebrew: אל) Northwest Semitic word and name translated into English as either 'god' or 'God' or left untranslated as El, depending on the context. In the Levant as a whole, Eli or Izer was the supreme god, the father of humankind and all creatures and the husband of the Goddess Asherah as attested in the tablets of Ugarit.

The word Eli was found at the top of a list of gods as the Ancient of Gods or the Father of all Gods, in the ruins of the Royal Library of the Ebla civilization, in the archaeological site of Tell Mardikh in Syria dated to 2300 BC. He may have been a desert god at some point, as the myths say that he had two wives and built a sanctuary with them and his new children in the desert. El had fathered many gods, but most important were Hadad, Yam and Mot, each of whom has similar attributes to the Greek gods Zeus, Poseidon or Ophion, and Hades or Thanatos respectively. Ancient Greek mythographers identified Eli with Cronus (not Chronos).( Wikipedia Dictionary)

El (Divinity) - El is not divine name but a common Semitic appellative for “divinity”. In order to make appeals to the divinity, this “El” required some concrete expression either by being related to a locality (e.g., “El-Bethel” [Gen 35:7] or by adding an either (“El of the covenant” [El-Berit], Judg 9:46; El-Roi, Gen 16:13). Aramaic inscriptions of Panammuwa mention “El” alongside the divinities Hadad, Resef, Rakib-el, and Samas. “El” appears to have this function and form in the text from Ugari-Ras Shamra, reflecting an expression of the Canaanite religion at the end of the 2d millennium b.c., but also in the biblical text like e.g., Genesis 14, where Melchizedek is designated as “the king of Salem” and “the priest of El-Elyon”, creator of heaven and earth” (vv 18 and 22). (Anchor Bible dictionary).

Ba'al (pronounced: [baʕal]; Arabic,بعل; Hebrew: בעל) (ordinarily spelled Baal in English) is a Northwest Semitic title and honorific meaning "master" or "Lord" that is used for various gods who were patrons of cities in the Levant, cognate to Assyrian Bēlu. A Baalist means a worshipper of Baal."Ba'al" can refer to any god and even to human officials; in some texts it is used as a substitute for Hadad, a god of the rain, thunder, fertility and agriculture, and the lord of Heaven. Since only priests were allowed to utter his divine name Hadad, Ba'al was used commonly. Nevertheless, few if any Biblical uses of "Ba'al" refer to Hadad, the lord over the assembly of gods on the holy mount of Heaven, but rather refer to any number of local spirit-deities worshipped as cult images, each called ba'al and regarded in that context as a false god.

Lord is a title for a person who has power and authority, and can have different meanings depending on the context of use. The title is primarily taken by men, while women will usually take the title 'lady'. However, this is not universal, as the Lord of Mann and the Lord Provost of Edinburgh (2003–2007), are examples of women who use 'lord' It is a common misconception that the title 'Lord' is used alone. Lord is actually merely a 'placeholder' for higher titles of the peerage. Five ranks of peer exist in the United Kingdom, in descending order, these are: duke, marquess, earl (equivalent in rank to the Continental title of count), viscount, and baron. The title is used most often by barons who are rarely addressed with any other. The style of this address is 'Lord (X)', for example, Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson, is commonly known as 'Lord Tennyson'. The ranks of marquess, earl and viscounts commonly use lord as well, with viscounts using the same style as used for baron. However, marquesses and earls have a slightly different form of address were they can be called either the 'Marquess/Earl of (X)' or 'Lord (X)'. Dukes also use the style, 'Duke of (X)', but it is rarely acceptable to refer to them as 'Lord (X)'. Dukes are usually referred to as 'Your Grace'

Very first time Yahweh reveals his name in to Moses in Exodus 3:13-15” Moses said to Elohim, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The Elohim of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?"  God said to Moses, "I am who I am (YHWH*).This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM (Yahweh*) has sent me to you. Elohim also said moreover to Moses, "In this manner shall you say to the children of Israel, Yahweh, The Elohim of your fathers—the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac and the Elohim of Jacob—has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations”. But why Yahweh uses a plural word of “Elohim” instead of “El”? (Also look definition of Elohim reference above). Well, let’s take a look back when Yahweh spoke to Abraham. In Genesis 15:13 “Then the Elohim said to him, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.” And now we will look 400 years later Exodus 2:24” Elohim heard their groaning and Elohim remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob.  And Elohim saw the children of Israel, and Elohim took knowledge of them.” In study definitions of God from the references above, we establish that there were many titles of god.  Egypt at that time was worshiping Sun-Elohim, Moon- Elohim and etc. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_pantheon

In that is begging from Babylon, when Nimrod proclaims him self a god and that is why Yahweh mix languages and scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth. (Gen 11:1-9)

Now it is very understandable that when God reveal his name to Moses He cleared that Yahweh is the ONE (single*) Elohim above all Elohim. In plane English Yahweh spoke language of that time, that Israelites would understand Him. And that is why Yahweh said in Deut 6:4” “Hear, O Israel: Yahweh is our Elohim, Yahweh is One.”

Since we clear titles of Yahweh (God Father), let’s take a look differences between Yahweh and Yahshua (Son of God)

1)  Matt 3:16-17:

 And Yahshua, when he was baptized, when up straightway from the water: and lo,the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of Yahweh descending as dove, and coming upon him; and lo, a voice out of heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Who is who?  Yahweh speaks from heaven to Yahweh standing on the ground?

2) In Isaiah 45:7

I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create EVIL; I am Yahweh that does all these things.

James 1:13

“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of Yahweh; for Yahweh cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no man”

Yahshua was tempted by evil (accuser) (Matt. 4:1-11).

If Yahshua is Yahweh, how could Yahweh, who create evil is tempted by His own creation of evil (accuser)?

3) Yahshua worshipped Yahweh

John 20:17

Yahshua said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father (Yahweh). Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father (Yahweh) - and you’re Father (Yahweh), to my Elohim and your Elohim.'

Mark. 12:29-30

"The most important one, answered Yahshua, is this: 'Hear, O Israel, Yahweh is our Elohim, Yahweh is one. You shall love Yahweh your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.

 Matt. 4:10

Yahshua said to him, "Away from me, accuser! For it is written: 'Worship Yahweh your Elohim, and him only shall you serve.

 How can Yahweh worship Yahweh if Yahshua is Yahweh?  Does Yahweh worship Yahweh?

4) Yahshua yelled, when hanging on the cross: "My El, my El, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matt. 27:46).  If Yahshua is El- Yahweh (look references to El above), then Yahweh had forsaken Yahweh! (Or he is calling for the other two heads of trinity to come and help him?) How can that be?  How can Yahweh forsake Yahweh?

5) Yahweh cannot die!  1 Tim. 6:16 “Who has immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power eternal. Amen).  Yahshua died.   If Yahshua is Yahweh, then how could Yahweh   been approachable, how man saw him and how did Yahweh died?

6) If Yahshua is Yahweh then who ran the universe during nine month, while Yahweh was in the womb of Mary and the three days that Yahweh was dead and lay dead in the grave?  Did the universe vanish for nine month or three days?

7) Yahweh raised Yahshua from the dead (Acts 5:30).  How could Yahweh raise Yahweh when Yahweh was dead? Or the other two “heads” helped Him?

8) Yahshua is a mediator between Yahweh and Man (1 Tim. 2:5).  How can a mediator be the same being, he is the mediator for? 

9) Yahshua says "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father (Yahweh*) only." (Matt. 24:36).  If Yahshua is Yahweh, then how come Yahshua does not know what Yahweh knows?

10) If Yahshua is Yahweh, then how can Yahweh stand next to Yahweh? (Acts 7:56)

11) If Yahshua is Yahweh, then who was he praying to in Gethsemane? (Matt. 26:39)

12) How can Yahshua receive "honor and glory" from Yahweh when Yahshua is himself Yahweh? (2 Pet. 1:17)

13) The Bible says about Yahshua: "Though he was a Son, yet taught him obedience by the things which he suffered;" (Heb. 5:8) Why would Yahweh need to learn obedience? 

14) Yahshua "sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high" (Heb. 1:3).  How can Yahweh sit down with Yahweh? 

15) Yahshua will subject himself to Yahweh (1 Cor. 15:28).  How can Yahweh subject Himself to Yahweh?

16) How could Yahshua, if he is Yahweh, go to Yahweh? (John 14:28)

17) How can Yahshua, who is "sent" by Yahweh, be the same person as the one that sends?  (John 3:34; 17:3)

18) How could Yahshua ascend to Yahweh when Yahshua is himself Yahweh?  (John 20:17)…

Yahweh spoke through Prophet Isaiah 44:15-17” It is man's fuel for burning; some of it he takes and warms himself, he kindles a fire and bakes bread.
 But he also fashions a god and worships it; he makes an idol and bows down to it. Half of the wood he burns in the fire; over it he prepares his meal;
he roasts his meat and eats his fill. He also warms himself and says,
"Ah! I am warm; I see the fire." From the rest he makes a god, his idol;
 he bows down to it and worships. He prays to it and says, "Save me; you are my god." and 46:5-7 “To whom will you compare me or count me equal? To whom will you liken me that we may be compared? Some pour out gold from their bags and weigh out silver on the scales; they hire a goldsmith to make it into a god, and they bow down and worship it. They lift it to their shoulders and carry it; they set it up in its place, and there it stands. From that spot it cannot move. Though one cries out to it, it does not answer; it cannot save him from his troubles. In Romans 1:20-23 says” For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and majesty; that they maybe with out excuse:  because that, knowing Yahweh, they did not glorify him as Elohim, neither give thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they become fools, and change the glory of in the incorruptible Elohim for likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.” Is in it Yahweh talking about cross, which become a symbol of “Christianity”. Did the use of the cross as a religious symbol begin with Christianity? If not, then where cross came from? Notice this paragraph from The Encyclopedia Britannica:

From its simplicity of form, the cross has been used both as a religious symbol and as an ornament, from the dawn of man's civilization. Various objects, dating from periods long anterior to the Christian era, have been found, marked with crosses of different designs, in almost every part of the old world. India, Syria, Persia and Egypt have all yielded numberless examples, while numerous instances, dating from the later Stone Age to Christian times, have been found in nearly every part of Europe. The use of thecross as a religious symbol in pre-Christian times, and among non-Christian peoples, may probably be regarded as almost universal, and in very many cases it was connected with some form of nature worship. (The Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th ed., 1910, Vol. 7, pg. 506. Emphasis ours.)

But let’s take a look at the Prophets. In Ezekiel chapter 8:14-16 “Then he brought me to the door of gate of Yahweh’s house which was toward the north; and behold, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz, then said to me, "Have you seen this, O son of man? You shall again see yet greater abominations than this. And he brought me into the inner court of Yahweh’s; and behold, at the door of the temple of Yahweh, between the porch and the alter, were about twenty-five men, with their backs toward the temple of Yahweh and their faces toward the east; and they were  worshiping the sun toward the east.” (The Sacred Scriptures) Who is Tammuz and why they are worshiping sun?

In Isaiah 46:8-9 Yahweh remind us and give us a chance to repent  “Remember this, fix it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels. Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am Yahweh your Elohim, and there is no other; I am Yahweh your Elohim, and there is none like me.”

Yahweh blesses you!
