In spite of the fact that the teaching cannot be backed by research, many in the movement believe it simply has to be true.  The teaching is purely and simply a lie, a fabrication.  This falsehood began in the teachings of some of the pioneer preachers of the movement.  It continues among preachers and teachers who are movers and shakers in the movement today.  This doctrine and its continued propagation epitomize other false teachings of the sacred name movement.  Even after it has time and again been proven false, many still cling to it.
