Name and quotation practice: the site uses the Name Yahweh where English Bibles print God or LORD (and "Lord" meaning the Father), and Yashua where they print Jesus (and "Lord" meaning the Son), including inside quotations. Scripture is quoted from the 1599 Geneva Bible with modernized spelling (words and word order unchanged); 1 Enoch from R. H. Charles (1917); Apocrypha from the 1611 KJV. Historical claims are sourced in each article.
