The following is an example of how he tries to prove a different name.
The only reason I am bothering with this is that I have a friend who is going down this road and I am trying to tell him the truth. Trouble is I don't know much Hebrew and need some help.
Also when I look at the masoretic Hebrew spelling of I AM that I AM it is indeed Aleph Heh Waw Heh rather than Yod Heh Waw Heh.

EHYEH The True Name God Revealed To Moses
What is the true sacred name of God? How does it apply or fit into the name of Jesus? We will look first for the answer in the famous account of the burning bush in Exodus 3:13-14.
"At the burning bush Moses says to God: "When I come to the Israelites and say to them, the God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they ask me, What is His Name?; what shall I say to them?" God answered: "Ehyeh-asher-ehyeh." Thus you shall say to the Israelites, "Ehyeh sent me to you." The three-word name God gives Himself is not easy to translate. The most precise rendering is 'I shall be what I shall be', although it sometimes is translated as 'I am that I am'. The 1962 Jewish Publication Society translation of the Torah despaired of coming up with an accurate rendition, and just left the words in their Hebrew original" (Jewish Literacy, pp. 47-48).
Here is the transliterated version Exodus 3:14 from the Hebrew Bible:
V'yomer Eloyim el-Mosheh eh'yeh asher eh'yeh v'yomer ko tomar livneh Yisrael eh'yeh sh'lachni alechem.
Here is the way it should read in all English Bibles:
"(13). And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say unto me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
(14). And God said unto Moses, EHYEH asher EHYEH: and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, EHYEH hath sent me unto you"
What name was Moses to use? It was the sacred name "EHYEH."
"Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, EHYEH hath sent me unto you."
Anyone, Jew or Gentile, who claims that the sacred name given to Moses at the burning bush was YHWH, Yahawah, Yahwah, Yahweh, Yihwah, Yahshua, or any other "Yah" name are liars! Anyone who says that Moses went down and said "I AM" sent me are also liars!
The Egyptian word for I AM is "nuk." If Moses went back and told them I AM sent me he would have said "Nuk" sent me. "Nuk" then would have been a name for God. Something not found in your Bible anywhere.
The letters "I AM" do not form a name. I AM was placed in the text and EHYEH removed. In fact, EHYEH has been removed from the text in hundreds if not thousand's of places. I AM is the "perfect present tense" of the name EHYEH. Since when do we replace someone's name with the "tense" of their name when used as a verb?
Many claim that EHYEH and its replacement I AM should be interpreted in a future tense as: "I will be that I will be (J. H. Hertz, The Pentateuch And Haftorahs, p 215); I will be what tomorrow demands (W. Gunther Plaut, The Haftartah Commentary, p. 405); I will be what I want to be (S.R. Hirsh from Plaut, p. 405).
All efforts to make EHYEH mean: "I will be," "He will be," "He who causes to be" or "He shall cause it to come to pass," are all future tense which does not exist in the Hebrew language (see Robert Young's Bible Lexicon, p. 38; Hastings Dictionary of the Bible, Extra Volume, p. 626; and Canon S.R. Driver, Westminister Commentary, Genesis, p. 408).
The point is, that the name EHYEH should have remained in the text and not replace it with I AM to designate the tense or meaing of that sacred name.
Ancient Paleo-Hebrew is not a sacred or holy language.
The claim that ancient Hebrew is a sacred and holy language is false. Every doctrine built upon that false premise is false. The idea or claim that a name for God spoken in Hebrew makes that name holy because it was spoken in Hebrew is false. Anyone who claims then that God's name(s) must be spoken in Hebrew for it/them to be acceptable, is making a false statement.
The objection that the Israelites did not speak Egyptian but the sacred language of Paleo-Hebrew is not true. Paleo-Hebrew is a homogenized language consisting of several other language phonetics and meanings. The Israelites did not adopt the Paleo-Phoenician language until many centuries after leaving Egypt, sometime between 1100-900BC.
Before there was a written language, words and names were usually monosyllable. By adding one monosyllable to another compound word forms were created. Transferring these ideas and word sounds into a written form was the beginning of a pictorial writing system. These glyphs or images whether they were the wedge type strokes found in the cunniform style or the figures found in the Egyptian language, stood for pronunciation of word forms. As this relates to the sacred names of God, there is absolutly no way with perfect certainty, that we can say how God's names were anciently pronounced. At the dispersion of the nations at the tower of Babel, and the instant creation by God of multiple languages, there had to come into existence at the same time different words to describe the same God. The idea that there exist one single pronunciation for the name(s) of God is just absolutely false. The idea that the name(s) of God must be spoken in the Paleo-Hebrew or in the Babylonian Aramaic tongue, for it (or them) to be holy and sacred is also false.
The original language of Adam was different than the Ugaritic language of Abraham. The Ugaritic language of Abraham was different than the Egyptian language of Moses and the Israelites in Egypt. The Phoenician language adopted by the Israelites 600 years after they came into the promised land is not the language of Adam, Abraham, or that of Moses. And finally, although there is a great affinity of Paleo-Hebrew to Aramaic, these are different languages.
God spoke in each language and in each one described himself by names and titles. We have no proof or evidence that God insisted upon one continious pronounciation for his names or titles and these names and titles were the same in all languages. If the evidence of such a fact of proof is missing, how can any man claim something to which God gave or left no testimony? Either the claim is false on the face of the assertion, or it is false because a claim so important if it were true, would have an abundance of testimony, and none exist!
At the tower of Babel, nine men could point toward heaven at the same time. One would utter "El"; another would utter "Neter"; another would utter "Theos"; another would utter "Deus"; another would say "Adonai"; another would say "Neb"; another would say "Moryo"; another would say "Kurios"; and yet another say "Dominus." All were speaking of the same being, ...the same God, the same LORD. It is when these names and titles are stolen by the profane and used to designate their gods that these carry a stigma of rebuke and shame.
In the chart below, it can be seen that many Phoenician words descend from both Egyptian and Proto-Canaanite. Hebrew as a separate sacred language back to Adam is a myth. The entire Kabbalistic scheme of mysticism based upon Hebrew letters and associated gematria is a clever fraud. Hebrew as a language spoken by the Israelites in Egypt is a myth. Hebrew is not a "pure" language that came from God to the Jews. Ancient Paleo-Hebrew is nothing but the Phoenician language with roots of Egyptian, Ugaritic, and Proto-Canaanite words and phonetics.
You will learn shortly that "Yah" was an Egyptian moon god. Why would God tell Moses to tell the Israelites the moon god sent him? God did not give or speak the tetragrammaton at the burning bush. Anyone who claims that the sacred name is "YHVH" or "YHWH" in this text and then make this into "Yahweh," "Yahuweh," "Yahshua," or "Jehovah" are liars. They may be educated liars, ignorant liars, or stupid liars, but still liars. I am making this bold and straight-forward statement because the Yahwist and their lying demonic false prophets have purposely perverted the Word of God to insert their guess names for the purpose of later recanting and denying that the name of "Jesus" is a valid and correct name in the English language of the Saviour. If you love and believe in the name of Jesus you will not find my remarks offensive, but if you deny the name of Jesus and you are reading this, you are a liar anyway for clicking ok to come here where you are not welcome. The information on this page is for those who love the name of Jesus. If you are reading this and you lied to get in here, then take a warning. What you are about to read as you sit there a confessed liar will show you, you have damned your soul. You cannot be saved. It would be better for you to click and get out of here.
What is the sacred name revealed to Moses at the burning bush? It is EHYEH! And what name was Moses supposed to pronounce when he told the Israelites the name of the God who sent him was EHYEH, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? And what is then God's memorial name of deliverance from Egyptian bondage? It is EHYEH!
(15). And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord (Adonai) God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this (or "EHYEH") is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. (KJV EXO 3:13-15 with Hebrew emphasis).
God himself spoke three name-words to describe himself: God or Elohim; Lord God or ADONAI Elohim, and Ehyeh. God NEVER gave to Moses the tetragrammaton here or anywhere else in the Bible.
Any effort to change the word ADONAI/LORD in this text to "YHVH or YHWH" and then insert either "Yahweh, Yahshua, or Jehovah" is false. You are a pervert if you do it and you will go to hell for adding unto the word of God:
"Ye shall not add unto the word which I commanded you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of ADONAI your Elohim (the LORD your God) which I commanded you" (Deut. 4:2).
The words "LORD GOD" here in their original Hebrew is "ADONAI Elohim." This "Adonai Elohim" was the name or titles by which God was address prior to Moses. Any effort to corrupt "Adonai" and make it into the tetragrammaton YHVH or YHWH is false. It is done falsely so that they may deny that the name EHYEH which God sent Moses down into Egypt with, is altered into "YAHWEH, YAHSHUA, or JEHOVAH." This is a sin and a grevious distortion of the Word of God! ADONAI in all caps signifies God as LORD and in the translation LORD is all CAPS because ADONAI was all CAPS for distinction! When a person calls God LORD or ADONAI they are saying: 1.) There is none greater; 2.) There is no greater Sovereign; 3.) He alone has power over the supplicant; 4.) and the person is confessing full and total obedience and honor! To take ADONAI and translate this as LORD and then pervert LORD into YHWH and then into the guess name Yahweh, is falsehood!
What did God call himself at the burning bush? He said "EHYEH asher EHYEH." This is said to mean "I AM that I AM. Why? Because in the Hebrew there is to future tense there is only past and present. To make EHYEH asher EHYEH to mean "I will be what I will be" is a futuristic statement and is false. We do not know what EHYEH asher EHYEH means other than how it is incorporated into the name of Jesus. And in that name it means "God is salvation or God has become salvation" (both present tense).
If you are a believer in the fraud interpolated into the text above that the name of God is YHVH or YHWH and make these to mean "Yahweh, Yahshua, or Jehovah" then read no further. You are unworthy of what follows. If you have already recanted the name of Jesus and claim it comes from Zeus and or Latin and means pig-god, THEN GET OFF THIS PAGE. GET OUT OF HERE! YOU ARE NOT WANTED! REPROBATES ARE NOT MINISTERED TO HERE! I say this because Yahweh blasphemers have sent me all sorts of hateful, degrading, and blasphemous emails. I have had to revise this study to rebuke these reprobate gainsayers. And I do not feel the slight bit of remorse in rebuking them!
For those who love the name of Jesus Christ you may continue this study. The sacred name given to Moses at the burning bush was EHYEH asher EHYEH. Read now and be blessed.

Any ideas of how I should proceed?
