What do you base your belief system on, if it is not the bible and other scholarly works? I sincerely hope that I am being clear in my questions. I am assuming that you did not channel this or take it out of thin air.

Firstly, the truth is out there, just not in any single source. My study of the Hebrew culture began when I studied various sources of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which are very ancient scrolls (true copies of scriptures) that were only discovered some 50 years ago in caves (of course by the Dead Sea). From the actual scriptures that I've seen, some of it are still readable, but most are torn, rotten, or unreadable. It's all in ancient Hebrew and not even new Hebrew. From what are legible, you can read the Hebrew characters of the Almighty's true name. You noticed how in modern Bibles, His name was taken out and replaced with "Lord" (means Baal, by the way) and "God." God, once again, is not a name. It is a position of power or job. It's kind of like calling you, Manager, all your life and not by your own name.
YHWH is the English letter transliteration. In ancient Hebrew, it's way different. Here is an example:
http://www.eliyah.com/yhwhdss.html. Hebrew doesn't have vowels, so you won't see it there. But the best spelling you can preserve in English is Yahweh. The best way to pronounce His name is "Yahuwah." But in Hebrew, the middle part is pronounced very fast and you can barely hear it. And the last 3 letters would sound more like "weh" than "wah" if you have the right accent. So the best we can come up with is "Yahweh."
Yahushua, the Son of Yahweh's name was found in a similar fashion. Anyways, the rest of my beliefs were found in many different Bible translations, including the Septuagint, which is one of the oldest Greek translations of ancient Hebrew. I have also read various translations from Israel that were translation from a combination of Hebrew texts for the Old Testament and Aramaic/Hebrew New Testament copies.
The Holy Scriptures were not meant to be taken out of context by taking out a few verses here and there and make your own interpretation. It is not of your own or private interpretation. It is Yahweh's Spirit's interpretation, and He will reveal the truth to you if you follow Him with everything you have. I also rely on Yahweh's Spirit to guide me many times as I research. I have a VERY intensive prayer life and relationship with the Father, which is in Heaven. In fact, there was one night when I made my usual prayer before going to bed when I finally called upon His true name. That night, He gave me an extremely POWERFUL dream that confirmed that what I have researched are correct. That is why I Love Him and Know that He blesses me with great wisdom and understanding of all scriptures and truth! I'm also a dreamer and have dreamed of many revelations from Yahweh throughout my life, especially recently. Revelation means to "reveal." I hope that helps.
