Nugget #104 – False gods: “Proclaim the Name!”


Worthship can be induced by the person that wants to be worshipped or by a person or people that want that person, place, thing, or thought to be a god.  For instance a statue cannot be a false god by its own choice; rather it is worshipped by others that make it into a false god.

It is important to note that a name does not make something a false god.  Uttering a name does not make a G-d or false god.  A name is a sound.  In essences it is meaningless.  The concept of power in the name is a Greek concept.  So professing a name does nothing.

Can we proclaim a name instead?  Yes, but proclaim not by sound but by deed with proper intent.  This transform our attributes, bringing them into balance is the true “proclamation”.  Utter no words, “just do it!” as Nike tells us.
