William Bragg to Dave Reagan

Dear David Reagan,
My name is William Bragg and I was raised in a Southern Baptist home in Augusta, Georgia! I grew up heavily involved in the Baptist Church for 43 years! I taught Sunday School in the Youth Department and was passionate about the Scriptures then and I’m even more passionate now! I love all the good sincere sheep, who day after day fill the pews, who tirelessly offer their time and energy, and who give their hard earned money despite their own physical needs to the offering plate! I love the faithful widows, individuals, and families, who give from their funds and even their Social Security checks in good faith in these hard times believing that everything you say is the absolutely truth about the Bible! I am writing you this letter on behalf of all those starving unsuspecting sheep and in the name of Yahuah! Please feed the sheep the whole truth to the best of your ability, not a mixture of truth and unclean church traditions!
After experiencing much suffering and affliction in our own family of poor hungry sheep, we have come to very different conclusions about what you and multitudes of others like you teach about the Scriptures! Because of our suffering, we are traveling a very different way and living out our own search for the truth concerning the Scriptures, Yahuah, and our Messiah! We have realized tragically that you and a multitude of preachers and teachers in Christianity have not told the whole truth at all! Instead you have misled the poor hungry sheep away from the truth even though you are fully aware of many things that you refuse to speak of! We in my family are learning obedience through our sufferings and afflictions, but mercifully the Ruach of Yahuah has taught us what the Christian preachers refused to! We needed chastening to wake us up to the reality that exists today in Christianity and the truth of Yahuah! Yahuah has been and continues to be extremely merciful and full of loving-kindness towards us in the midst of our suffering! We are very thankful that Yahuah would not allow us to continue to be blinded to His truth!

I have just finished watching your TV show “Christmas in Bible Prophecy”! You are a great communicator. Much of what you speak about the Messiah is true, but not always in the set apart Hebraic context of which it was intended and written. If you are truly a good shepherd for the Mighty One of the Scriptures and a disciple of the Messiah, why do you continue to mix the Clean with the Unclean and teach that mixture of good and evil to your sheep as the truth? You know very well that the icons and timing of Christmas are rooted in paganism as well as Easter and other days that you sanction instead of Yahuah’s Days. The trees, the wraths, and even the halo around the Messiah’s head you display are not condoned in the Scriptures at all, but as you know all forms of mixing with paganism are strictly condemned emphatically! You know that the Messiah was not born during the Winter Solstice, Saturnalia! You know the dastardly deeds that Constantine and the early Church Fathers did to the truth of Yahuah and His set apart Days and the Sabbath! In fact, had the Messiah in any way touched the trappings of paganism, then Yahushua would not have been qualified to carry our sins and be our Passover Lamb because touching idolatry is of course sin!
In your heart of hearts you surely know that Yahushua and Yahuah would not condone in any way, shape, form, or fashion any observance that had been contaminated with pagan roots, icons, and traditions no matter what good ideas were attached to it by Christianity. Do you have no fear of Yahuah’s judgment in these matters? You know, so you are fully accountable for your actions! Aren’t all men exhorted to keep the eternal Festivals of Leviticus 23 as the Messiah did? Yahushua observed Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Shabuoth, Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, and Tabernacles faithfully, even while under unspeakable suffering, pressure, and duress! Aren’t we as followers of the Messiah today exhorted to follow Yahushua’s example to the best of our abilities? Are Christians somehow exempt from observing Yahuah’s eternal Festivals and from observing the true Sabbath! Have Yahuah’s desires changed? Are Constantine’s opinions and edicts more set apart than Yahuah’s? You know the truth about all these things! Why do you rebel and even worse why do you teach others to rebel in their blindness? You know that the Messiah’s name is not Jesus, but you endorse and teach the perpetuation of the error! You take it upon yourself to rationalize the Messiah’s real name away and teach your poor sheep to use the name Jesus, contrary to the message that Gabriel delivered in the name of Yahuah. I believe that you are a very smart man! You will agree that certainly the Heavenly Father’s name can safely without question be transliterated into English in the short version as Yah or Yahu, if one disagrees with the exact pronunciation of the full Name! Isn’t that preferable to deleting the name Yahuah altogether, while instead teaching the poor sheep to erroneously call Yahuah “God or Lord”, which are not even personal names at all? The Scriptures teach repeatedly that Yah is extremely zealous and passionate about His Name as He should be! The Scriptures teach repeatedly that Yahuah reveres and guards His set apart Name! No matter what we think, Yahuah will most assuredly make all the wicked, all the unrepentant, and all the believers abundantly aware of the set apartness and power of the name of Yahuah on the coming Day of Yahuah! It’s also very clear that Yahushua restored to the poor sheep the name of Yahuah during His ministry!

John17
17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
17:26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

It is also clear that Yahushua’s name contained Yah or Yahu in honor of His Father’s name and Yahushua’s name states His own calling! But knowing all this why do you still teach a substitute name that is not from Yahuah at all! How can you feel that Yahuah is pleased, when you disrespect His name and His Son’s name!
You made this statement that I read on the internet!

“There is nothing wrong with transliterating Hebrew and Greek names into English. I do no object to transliterating them more correctly or using Yahweh instead of LORD. But to resort to palaeo-Hebrew script is absolutely bizarre – even ridiculous.”

Are you saying that Yahuah was bizarre and even ridiculous for choosing to write the Ten Commandments and His own name with His finger in Paleo Hebrew? Could it be that this Paleo Hebrew is Yahuah’s script of choice and is a set apart script as is His Name? I submit to you that the only way that one can be absolutely sure of the written name is to write it in Paleo Hebrew as Yahuah, Himself wrote it! Paleo Hebrew is clearly written in the oldest of the Dead Sea Scrolls! Even, after the Hebrews returned from Babylon with the block Hebrew Script of today, many of the oldest texts containing the block Hebrew Script still wrote the Yahuah’s name in Paleo Hebrew! Anyone, who has chosen to write Yahuah’s name in the Paleo Script, has done a good and proper thing! They should be commended, not called bizarre, ridiculous, and cultish! A love, awe, and respect for the true set apart names is very important and at the center of the 3rd Commandment! If we love, awe, and respect Yahuah’s name, He will surely forgive us, if we make every effort to pronounce His name and do so incorrectly! Yah will teach us His name over time, even if Yahushua has to correct us, when He returns! Until then, we should do the very best we can to love, respect, and revere Yahuah’s and Yahushua’s set apart names, not mankind’s substitutes! Scripturally that seems to be much preferable to replacing it all together with meaningless substitutes in light of the 3rd Commandment! Not knowing about the real names is one thing, but when one knows the truth as you do and continues to rebel in the face of Yahuah is entirely another matter! You are accountable for everything that you have and will feed to your sheep! To knowingly lead the sheep in a perverse way is to be a party of the Adversary’s rebellion against Yahuah! May heaven and earth be a witness that I for one have told you the truth in this letter! Examine yourself and turn around (shub), while you and your staff have time!
I understand that your ministry depends on the giving of Christians. But some things should not be compromised no matter what the cost to your ministry, your financial security, your earthly comforts, or your pride! If you are going to teach, teach the truth about Yahuah and Yahushua and let the chips fall where they may! Use your gifts to communicate Yahuah’s truth, not man’s! Teach you people about how paganism became blended into the teachings of Christianity long ago! Teach your people to recognize the difference between the Clean and the Unclean! If the sheep stop sending money, then you and your staff should find another means of support! At least you will have saved your souls from judgment in these matters, when you stand before Yahushua and Yahuah!
