Chapter 15
The Spirit of the Antichrist
|
Introduction
The Spirit of the Antichrist
(or False Messiah)
is anyone who elevates the image of a man known by his monogram
i.e. Hesus Horus Krishna (Jesus H. Christ) in
their hearts as God above Yahuah! They will be given over by Yahuah to
believe a lie.
That very lie is that The Law has been abolished by the
incarnation of God in the image
of Jesus H. Christ.
The Spirit of The Antichrist is anyone who denies that Yahusha
was a mere man (came in the flesh, fully human in every way). “Came in the
flesh” is a Jewish Idiom for “born human” to two earthly parents! It does not
say “Jesus is God come in the flesh” as you have been told it says. Those who
believe that have the Spirit of the False Messiah!
1 John 4
4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits
to see whether they are from Yahuah, because
many false prophets have gone out into the world (claiming
to be the incarnation of God). 2
By this you know the Spirit of Yahuah:
every spirit that confesses that Messiah Yahusha has ‘come in the flesh’ (which is an idiom for born to both a man and woman as it
“the way of the flesh”, fully human in every way) is from Yahuah;
Hebrews 2
17 For
this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order
that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to Yahuah.
3 and
every spirit that does not confess Yahusha has come in the flesh (but believes in the pagan myth of incarnation that he is a
demi-god) is not from Yahuah; this
is the spirit of the antichrist (The
False Messiah is an image of a man named 
Jesus Christ who is
worshipped as Yahuah in the flesh. See below, Yahusha denied the incarnation
totally) …
Philippians 2
5 Let
this understanding be in you which was also in Yahusha the Messiah,
6 though he was in the (human) image (reflection)
of Yahuah, did not count equality with Yahuah a thing to be grasped,
7 but made himself of no reputation,
taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of (all) men (he was
human not God).
Continuing with
1 John 4
6 We are of Yahuah. He who knows Yahuah
hears us; he who is not of Yahuah does not hear us. By this we know the
spirit of truth and the spirit of error… 12
No one has seen
Yahuah at any time! (Because Yahusha is not Yahuah
in the flesh or a demi-god).
There is the definition of The Spirit of Truth; those who
know Yahusha was born human in every way and chosen as a High Priest to Yahuah
from among men and understand that NO ONE HAS SEEN Yahuah because He cannot be
found in the form of a man:
Numbers 23:19
Yahuah is not
human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind.
Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill.
Hosea 11
9 I will not carry out my fierce
anger, nor will I devastate Ephraim again. For I am Yahuah, and not a man
The Spirit of the Antichrist is anyone who elevates the
false
image of Yahusha (known as Jesus) into a God in their heart believing in the
incarnation. That is The Spirit of The Antichrist because all pagan
Christs were demi-gods. Those with The Spirit of the Antichrist will
be given over to a depraved mind which is The Spirit of Error.
Christianity has created a human false image of Yahusha named
“Jesus Christ” who is the False Messiah and taught “Jesus” as being the
incarnation of God and literally “God in the flesh”. Please refer to my
book The Antichrist Revealed! where I expose Jesus Christ as the
Antichrist or False Messiah.
I demonstrate in that book that John identified the names
“Jesus” and “Christ” in Revelation Chapter 13. John used the mark, the
monogram, and the Christogram of Jesus Christ when he wrote down the Greek
symbol
Revelation
13 - The Beast out of the Sea
13 The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And
I saw a
beast coming out of the sea (sea serpent
)…17 so
that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark (
),
which is the name of the beast or (rather)
the symbol of its name.
18 This
calls for wisdom (to discern the Christogram
IHS/Christ). Let the person who has (spiritual)
eyes to see reckon up
the (pictogram HES/JES
of the)
symbol of the beast
that identifies him (by name Jesus Christ), for it is the
symbol of a man.
That symbol is
The
Spirit of the False Messiah
Anyone who elevates the image of a man known by his monogram
i.e. Hesus Horus Krishna (Jesus H. Christ) in
their hearts as God above Yahuah will be given over by Yahuah to believe a
lie. That very lie is that The Law has been abolished by the incarnation
of God in the image
of Jesus H. Christ.
The Spirit of the False Messiah is anyone who denies that Yahusha
was a mere man (came in the flesh):
1 John 4
4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits
to see whether they are from Yahuah, because many false prophets have gone out
into the world (claiming to be the incarnation of
God).
2 By this you know
the Spirit of Yahuah: every spirit that confesses that Messiah Yahusha has
come in the flesh (a man) is from Yahuah;
3 and every spirit that does not
confess Yahusha has come in the flesh (but says
Jesus is God or The Trinity) is not from Yahuah;
this is the spirit of the antichrist
(or False Messiah. The False Messiah is an image
of
a man worshipped above Yahuah as God) …
12 No one has seen Yahuah at any time! (Because Yahusha is not Yahuah in the flesh or a demi-God).
Anyone who elevates the
false image of Yahusha
(known as Jesus Christ) into a God in their heart
believing in the incarnation has The Spirit of the False Messiah…
Romans 1
21 because,
although they knew Yahuah (by what He created),
they did not glorify Yahuah as God, nor were thankful, but became futile
in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened (by Yahuah who gave them over to The Spirit of the False
Messiah). 22 Professing to be wise, they became
fools (filled with The Spirit of Error),
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God (Yahuah who cannot die) into an image
made like (a) corruptible man (who died. Jesus is a false image of Yahusha who was
executed.)
The
doctrine of Incarnation is the Spirit of the False Messiah
In this chapter I will address the reality of who Yahusha
really was and confront the “sound bites” of scripture taken totally out of
context by Christianity and in many cases mistranslated into English
that are the foundation of this abomination called “incarnation”. Incarnated
man-gods are the identifying feature of all pagan religions dating back to
Babylon. The Creator revealed Himself in The Bible as the one and only God not
a Trinity, bi-entity, or god-man savior.
The doctrine of incarnation violates explicit scripture by
taking scripture out of context to build a doctrine of man through implication.
Yahusha came in the flesh as a man, fully human in every way, was tempted by
evil, was not born perfect, and called himself
the son of man 87 times
as he was truly the son of his earthly father Joseph. I’ll explain this in
detail along with the doctrine of the Virgin Birth in this book as well.
Yahuah, however, declares that He is not a man, He is not
‘the son of man’, He is invisible Spirit that cannot be contained in the human
form or tempted by evil.
Numbers 23:19
Yahuah is not a man, that he should
lie (Yahusha was fully human
Hebrews 2:17);
neither the son of man (Yahusha was called the son
of man in the NT 87
times), that he should repent (Yahusha was Mikveh’d i.e. baptized by John for repentance,
his sin forgiven Zachariah 3:4).
Hosea 11
9 I will not carry out my fierce
anger, nor will I devastate Ephraim again. For I am Yahuah,
and not a man
1 John 4:1-3; 12
4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits
to see whether they are from Yahuah, because many false prophets have gone out
into the world (claiming to be the incarnation of Yahuah).
2 By this you know the Spirit of Yahuah:
every spirit that confesses that Messiah Yahusha has come in the flesh (a man) is from Yahuah; 3 and every spirit that does not confess Yahusha
has come in the flesh (but says Yahusha is Yahuah
incarnate) is not from Yahuah;
this is the
spirit of
the antichrist (or False Messiah. The False
Messiah is an image of a man worshipped above Yahuah as Yahuah) …12
No one has seen Yahuah at any time
(because they would die…
Exodus 33:20)!
Colossians 1:15
The Son (all sons are the image of Yahuah
Genesis 1:26, Psalms 82:6)
is the (human) image (reflection/proxy)
of the invisible Yahuah, the firstborn (this is where Yahusha is different from the rest of the sons
of Yahuah) over all (eternal)
creation.
Given the explicit scripture that is contradicted by
the implied doctrine of incarnation… we must in obedience to explicit
declarations made by Yahuah abandon the doctrine of “incarnation” as it is
The
Spirit of the False Messiah.
That is what we will do in this chapter as we establish Yahusha
as the human signatory (representative) to the covenant that bears his name
The
Yahushaic Covenant. Just like Moses was the human representative to
the Mosaic Covenant, Adam to the Adamic Covenant, Noah to the Noahic Covenant,
Abraham to the Abrahamic Covenant, David to the Davidic Covenant, and so forth.
Let us continue by clearly defining the terms used of Yahusha
in The Yahushaic Covenant and clarify the relationship between Yahuah
and Yahusha.
The
relationship between Yahuah and Yahusha
The relationship between Yahuah and Yahusha is not difficult
to understand. It is that of Father and Son. The same relationship we have
with our Father in Heaven. Yahuah is not only the Father of Yahusha but He is
the Father of all His sons in the same way. In the physical shadow of earthly
father and son; and the spiritual parallel that shadow represents… the father
and son are not the same “being”. One begets the other. One is an “image” of
the other. Yahuah has always revealed Himself as our Father as Yahusha too
confirmed. We see that Yahuah is Yahusha’s God and Father as Yahusha is no
different that you and I:
Luke 11
2 He
said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father,
hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.”
1 Peter 1
To Yahuah’s
elect, exiles (lost sheep of The House of Israel)
scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and
Bithynia, 2 who have been chosen
according to the foreknowledge of Yahuah the Father…
3 Praise be to
the God and
Father
of our King Yahusha the Messiah! In His (our
Father’s) great mercy He (our Father)
has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Yahusha
the Messiah from the dead (he was a corruptible man
who died, raised incorruptible by Yahuah who is God), 4 and into an inheritance that can never
perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance (of Yahuah
the Father to His sons) is kept in
The Kingdom of Yahuah
for
you.
1 Corinthians 8
5 For
even if there are so-called Gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed
there are many “Gods” and many “lords”),
6
yet for us there is but one God, the Father Yahuah, from
whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one King, Yahusha
the Messiah, for whom all things were created (by Yahuah
as an inheritance) and through whom we live (in covenant being covered by
the blood of the lamb).
We see above Paul explain the simple reality of Yahuah being the Father and Yahusha
being Yahuah’s first born son through resurrection. We see Yahuah give all His
sons the inheritance which is held for us in The Kingdom of Yahuah.
We
see Sha’ul (Paul) praying that the true knowledge that Yahuah alone is our God
and Father be revealed to His chosen:
Ephesians 1
17 I
keep asking that the God of our King the Messiah Yahusha,
the glorious Father (Paul declares The Shema), may give you the
Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him (your Father) better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be
enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He (your Father) has called you (as His son), the riches of His (your Father’s) glorious inheritance in His (Yahuah’s) holy people, 19 and His (Yahuah’s)
incomparably great power toward us who believe. (now Paul changes subject to Yahusha) That power
is the same as the mighty strength 20 He
(your Father Yahuah) exerted when He (the Father) raised Yahusha (His son) from the dead and seated Yahusha at His
(Father’s) right hand in The
Kingdom of Yahuah, 21 far
above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is
invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And Yahuah (the
Father) placed all things under his (son
Yahusha’s) feet and appointed (Yahusha wasn’t born with it, he had to earn it) Yahusha
to be head over everything for the sons of Yahuah, 23 which is His (Yahuah’s) body (Temple), the fullness of Him (Yahuah) who fills everything in every way.
All of the references to Father and son in the Bible are in
context of the Hebraic mindset of the place and authority of the father over
his household. It is within this context that Yahusha as the son and “perfect
image” of the Father is understood. Yahusha is the proxy of His Father Yahuah
as His instrument and assistant as Yahusha is seated at his Father Yahuah’s
right hand. The Universe is still the property of The Creator; the
responsibility to govern it is given over to His sons.
Unger's Bible Dictionary,
page 347
2. PLACE AND AUTHORITY. The
position and authority of the father as the head of the family is expressly
assumed and sanctioned in Scripture as a likeness of that of the
Almighty over his creatures. It lies, of course, at the root of that
so-called patriarchal government (Gen. 3:16; I Cor. 11:3)... While the father
lived, he continued to represent the whole family, the property was held in his
name, and all was under his superintendence and control... The children, and
even the grandchildren, continued under the roof of the father … The property
of the soil, the power of judgment, the civil rights belonged to him only, and
his sons were merely his instruments and assistants...
The Son
of Yahuah; what does that mean?
The Scriptures generally describe all things relative to Yahuah
using human terms i.e. physical to spiritual parallels. This literary
technique, called anthropomorphism, is one of the primary means used in
Scripture to lead us into an understanding of Yahuah.
Anthropomorphism:
Attribution of human
characteristics to nonhumans: the attribution of a human form, human
characteristics, or human behavior to nonhuman things such as deities in mythology
and animals in children's stories.
This is commonly done in the Scriptures with reference to Yahuah's
"heart", "hand", "finger", etc. Attributes of
personality such as "jealousy", "will" or
"desire", "hate", and many other "emotions" are
anthropomorphic. The reason for this technique is so that mankind, who is
incapable of truly understanding the infinite Almighty, can grasp the basics of
what is actually beyond our ability to understand.
The reference to Yahusha as Yahuah's "son" is one
of these techniques to help us understand the relationship between Yahuah and
all His chosen. It may surprise most Christians to realize
Yahusha was not the ONLY "son of Yahuah"
mentioned in Scripture! Solomon was referred to as Yahuah's
son:
2 Samuel 7:14
14
I will be his father, and he shall be my
son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of
men, and with the stripes of the children of men.
Proof of this referring to Solomon is found in 1 Chronicles
28:6
1 Chronicles 28:6 (KJV)
6 And he (Yahuah) said unto me (David),
Solomon thy
son, he shall build my house and my courts: for
I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be
his father.
It should be noted that verses regarding Solomon (and many
other passages) are sometimes assumed to refer to Messiah. I agree, however, I
feel the correct standard method of interpreting Scripture is to first look for
a DIRECT application first and then the spiritual parallel. Continuing with the
sons of Yahuah mentioned in Scripture...
The entire nation of Israel is referred to as Yahuah's sons!
Exodus 4:22
22 And thou shalt say
unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Yahuah, Israel
is my son, even my firstborn:
Adam was the "son of Yahuah"
also.
Luke 3:38
38 Which was the son of
Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of
Adam, which was the son of Yahuah.
Of course, all TRUE followers of Yahuah's Holy instructions
(Torah) are called sons of Yahuah. Therefore
it is SCRIPTURALLY accurate to say there is reference to well
over 600,000 "sons of Yahuah" in the Bible, since Israel
is Yahuah's son. This is something Traditional Christian
teachers hate to have revealed.
Exodus 12:37
37 And the children of Israel
journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about
six
hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
The term "son of Yahuah" is
always used in an
anthropomorphic sense to refer to Yahuah's
representative(s) i.e. “sons”.
Of course, as THE greatest, most
obedient, and most exalted of ALL of Yahuah's representatives, Yahusha, is
indeed, THE son of Yahuah.
Yahusha is the ultimate tsadik, or pious and
righteous servant and representative of Yahuah. Also, of course, if one wishes
to accept the virgin birth, Yahusha can be further seen as being a
"son" of Yahuah. However, as I show when I address the Virgin Birth,
the teaching that Yahusha was conceived of a virgin outside of the seed of
Joseph actually threatens Yahusha's claim to being the Messiah and disqualifies
him. So there is nothing within the context of the virgin birth that makes Yahusha
any more of a son of Yahuah than any other men.
The New Testament actually suggests to us the exact moment
that Yahusha was "begotten" of Yahuah! Yes, believe it or not, we can
know the precise time of the final "begetting" of Messiah Yahusha.
In Acts 13 Paul is speaking to those gathered in a synagogue of Antioch. In
this single chapter the entire gospel is summed up in one of the most concise
presentations to be found anywhere in Scripture. During this sermon Paul
reveals the exact moment that Yahusha's "begotten" status was
completed.
Acts 13:33
33 Yahuah has fulfilled
this for us their children, in that He has risen up Yahusha. As it is also
written in the second Psalm: "You
are My Son, Today I have begotten You."
The Psalm to which he refers is:
Psalm 2:7
7 I will declare the
decree: Yahuah has said to Me, "You
are My Son, Today I have begotten You."
Therefore, we see the SCRIPTURAL day Yahusha was begotten -
THE SCRIPTURAL DAY HE FULLY BECAME THE SON OF Yahuah.
It was on the day of his resurrection.
This, also, is how he became the "first fruits of the resurrection"
and the full "son of Yahuah." The announcement of the angel Gabriel
in Luke presents in the future tense the fact that Yahusha "will be
called the Son of the Highest." This prophecy from Gabriel had its
fulfillment at Yahusha's resurrection.
Luke 1:32
32 He will be great, and
will be called
the Son of the Highest; and Yahuah will give Him the throne of His father
David.
As usual, I appeal to common sense. One that is
"begotten" is not eternal but has a beginning; therefore, the
"begotten one" (Yahusha) cannot be the "Eternal One," Yahuah.
I would argue that the resurrection is the
COMPLETION of the PROCESS of Yahusha's
becoming Yahuah's
Son. He was already His Son as defined previously in terms of being Yahuah's
perfect representative, agent, servant, and anointed One. For the reasons I
will explain in the virgin birth section, I do not accept the virgin birth as
it is taught. I consider it to be an attempt by those lead by the spirit of
error (spirit of the False Messiah) to usurp Yahusha's rightful claim to be the
Messiah of Israel. The doctrine of the Virgin Birth eliminates the primary
importance of him being of the literal seed of David
through the father as
scripture demands!
Upon his resurrection, Messiah Yahusha became
THE Son of the Highest due
to the fact that Yahusha was the very first man EVER resurrected to eternal
life!
Romans 1:3-4
3 concerning His Son Yahusha
the Messiah our King, who was born of the seed of David (the son of man, the man Joseph) according to
the flesh (the “seed” of Yahuah is Spirit not
flesh), 4 and
declared to be the Son of Yahuah with power
according to the Spirit of holiness (this
is the “seed” of Yahuah),
by
the resurrection from the dead.
Yahusha
prior to resurrection was 100% human the product of the seed of Joseph and Mary
like all humans; fully human in every way as Paul put it. Yahuah has no
physical seed and in no way “impregnated Mary” as is taught. That is a pagan
philosophy out of Babylon (Ishtar being impregnated with Tammuz by the rays of
the sungod Ba’al). If Yahusha was in any way the Spiritual Son of Yahuah while
on Earth, death would have been impossibility. The fact Yahusha died is
the “nail in the coffin” of the false doctrine of Incarnation.
Luke 20:36
36 for they cannot
even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are
sons of Yahuah, being sons of the
resurrection.
Again we see above that you are not fully begotten by the
seed of Yahuah until resurrection. Only once your body is transposed to
The
Kingdom of Yahuah through resurrection are you truly begotten by Yahuah
in His full image as an eternal son.
Only
Begotten Son; what does that mean?
The Christian Church teaches that ‘Jesus’ was the only
begotten
son on Earth through a divine conception to Mary. This is not the birth
indicated by the word begotten; the term
begotten is not
referring to Yahusha’s human birth to Joseph and Mary; but rather his birth
into full sonship to Yahuah. It is referring to Yahusha’s resurrection into
The
Kingdom of Yahuah. Whenever speaking of his human birth in the flesh
the word born is used not
begotten.
The term "only
begotten son" simply means Yahusha
at this time and until such
time as the first resurrection is the ONLY begotten
(resurrected) son of Yahuah in the family. Yahusha was the FIRST FRUITS
(resurrected the first fruits of many more to come on the first Sabbath after
Passover then his presenting the first fruits of the resurrection to the Father
the next day on the Feast of First Fruits).
1 Corinthians
15
20 But now
the Messiah has been risen (by Yahuah)
from the dead, and
has
become (the firstborn son upon resurrection not birth to Mary/Joseph)
the first fruits
of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man (Adam)
came
death (The Law of Sin and Death), by Man
(Yahusha the
Second Adam) also
came the resurrection of the dead
(The Law of Sin and Death has been defeated).
22 For as in Adam all die (being
held to account for the decrees in The Law), even so (those
who abide)
in The Yahushaic Covenant shall all be made alive (begotten by Yahuah as sons
through resurrection). 23 But each
one (of the
sons of Yahuah) in his own order (after Yahusha, the eldest son):
The Messiah the first fruits
(first and only
at this point of the sons to be resurrected), afterward
those who are in covenant with Yahuah through Yahusha at Yahusha’s
coming (First Resurrection
when the rest of the sons will be begotten).
You see, the term
begotten is the
key. “Begotten of Yahuah” means resurrected birth not human birth. It is
specifically talking about ONLY RESURRECTED SON until he returns to resurrect
the rest of the family of Yahuah.
Acts 13:33
32 And we
declare to you glad tidings—that promise (that we
are gods, sons of the Most High Psalm 82:6) which was made (by Yahuah) to the (fore) fathers (we are saved by faith in the
promises of Yahuah made to our forefathers). 33 Yahuah has fulfilled this (promise
of eternal life as literal gods, sons of Yahuah) for us their
children (children
of Abraham/Isaac/Jacob only), in that Yahuah has raised up Yahusha
(the promise of
eternal life fulfilled). As it is also written in the
second Psalm:
"You
are My Son, Today
(day Yahusha was resurrected)
I have
begotten You."
Romans 1:3-4 NKJV
3 concerning His Son Yahusha
the Messiah our King, who was born of the seed of David (both Mary/Joseph)
according to the flesh (was a human), 4 and
declared to be the Son of Yahuah
with power according to the Spirit of holiness,
by the resurrection from the dead.
Yahusha is not the only son, just the only begotten from
the grave at this point. Adam and David, and indeed all of us are declared
sons of Yahuah. We too, shall be sons of Yahuah, begotten by the same power of
the Spirit of Holiness upon resurrection just like Yahusha, brothers to
the first born:
Luke 20:36
36 for they cannot even
die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of Yahuah, being sons of the
resurrection.
The distinction between Yahusha and the rest of the sons of Yahuah
is that Yahusha is the eldest and heir to all things as the firstborn of the
resurrection through inheritance. We too will follow Yahusha and be begotten as
sons of Yahuah through resurrection. We will take our place as Priests, Judges,
and Kings under the authority of the first born and King of Kings and High
Priest...
Matthew 19:28-29
28 Yahusha said to them, "Most
assuredly I tell you, that you who have followed me, in the
"Regeneration" (Resurrection)
when (after resurrection) the
Son of
Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve
thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Revelation 5:10
10 And hast made us unto
our God (Yahuah)
kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Romans 8:19
“creation
eagerly awaits the revelation of the sons of Yahuah”… vs. 21 “when creation
will be set free from slavery and come into the glorious freedom of the sons of
Yahuah”
Revelation 21:7
7 He that overcomes (death through resurrection)
shall inherit all things; and I
will be his God, and he shall be my son.
We see
that all the promises given to Yahusha are also given to us. We too sit on
thrones, we too inherit “all things”, we too are sons of Yahuah. Yahusha is
the first born son through resurrection, the first fruits presented to Yahuah
through ascension, and currently the only resurrected human (only begotten
son). Notice it is all about a family and inheritance.
Colossians 1:
13 Who (Yahuah) hath delivered us from the power of
darkness, and hath transposed us into the kingdom of His dear (firstborn) Son (Yahusha):
14 In whom (Yahusha) we have
redemption (to Yahuah) through his (Yahusha’s) blood (that
consummated the marriage covenant, we become ‘one with Yahuah’ as Yahusha was John
17:21), even the forgiveness of sins (the
decrees in The Law for transgressing Yahuah’s commands are covered by the blood
of the lamb): 15 Who (Yahusha)
is the (perfect human) image of the invisible
God (the proxy of Yahuah), the firstborn
(Feast of First Fruits) of every (eternal) creature.
Paul
changes the subject to distinguish Yahuah as the Creator
16 For by Him (Yahuah) were all things created, that are in
heaven, and that are in earth, visible (flesh)
and invisible (spirit), whether they be
thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by
Him (alone Isaiah 44:24), and for
him (for Yahusha as an inheritance): 17
And He (the Creator Yahuah) is before
all things (self existing), and by Him (Yahuah) all things consist.
Paul
changes the subject back to Yahusha to distinguish Yahusha as the first born
son of Yahuah
18 And he (Yahusha) is the head of the body (the Temple of Yahuah), the assembly (family of Yahuah):
who (Yahusha) is the beginning (of that family), the firstborn from the dead (Yahusha was the first to complete the process of training on
Earth and be given Eternal Life by Yahuah); that in all things (of Yahuah’s) he (Yahusha)
might have the preeminence (among the sons of Yahuah).
19 For it pleased the Father (of all the
sons) that in him (Yahusha)
should all fullness (of deity) dwell (that same fullness dwells in us too Ephesians 3:9);
20 And (Yahusha by defeating The Law of
Sin and Death), having made peace (between
the two houses, Remnant Israel) through the blood of his stake (by covering the death decrees freeing us from the fear of
death that held us captive), by him (offering
his life as a sacrifice to Yahuah) to reconcile all things (Yahuah created) unto Himself; by (sacrificing) him (self,
as the Passover Lamb), I say, whether they be things in earth, or
things in heaven.
Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of
Messiah Yahusha by the will of Yahuah, to the assembly of sons which are at
Ephesus, and to the faithful in (covenant with)
Messiah Yahusha: 2 Grace be to you, and peace, from Yahuah our
Father, and from the King Messiah Yahusha. 3 Blessed be the
God (declaration of the Shema)
and Father of our King Messiah Yahusha (his is not God incarnate), who (Yahuah) hath blessed us (his sons) with all spiritual blessings in The
Kingdom of Yahuah in (covenant with)
Yahusha: 4 According (to Yahuah’s
purpose) as he (Yahuah) hath
chosen (predestined) us in him (self) before the foundation of the world (through His Plan of Salvation), that we should be
holy and without blame before him (Yahuah)
in love (through covenant): 5
Having predestinated (according to His Plan of
Salvation) us unto the adoption of children (Yahuah’s plan to beget a family) by (the blood sacrifice of) Messiah Yahusha (as Passover Lamb) to himself (one through marriage covenant), according to the
good pleasure of his (Yahuah’s) will (to beget a family of gods to govern His creation),
6 To the praise of the glory of his (Yahuah’s)
grace, wherein he hath (through blood sacrifice of
Messiah) made us accepted in the beloved (family of Yahuah).
7 In whom (through covenant with Messiah Yahusha) we have
redemption (from the second death, The Passover)
through his blood (the Passover Lamb),
the forgiveness of sins (decrees covered for transgression
of Law), according to the riches of his (Yahuah’s)
grace; 8 Wherein (covenant with Yahusha)
He (Yahuah) hath abounded toward us (unlimited Grace by accepting Yahusha’s sacrifice to cover
the death decrees in The Law) in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made known unto
us the mystery of his will (to beget a family),
according to his (Yahuah’s) good
pleasure which he (Yahuah) hath purposed
(predestined to create) in himself (as the Father): 10
That in the dispensation of the fullness of times (as
foretold by His prophets) he (Yahuah)
might gather together in one (through the covenant
of marriage, the two shall become one) all things in (covenant with the) Messiah, both which are in
heaven, and which are on earth; even in him(self, Yahuah
will reconcile creation through the sacrifice of His Son):
11 In whom (the first born Son, Messiah Yahusha) also we (too) have obtained an
inheritance (as sons of God, we inherit the Universe), being
predestinated according to the purpose of Yahuah (to
govern creation through a family of gods) who works all things after
the counsel of his (Yahuah’s) own will: 12
That we (sons of God) should be the
praise of his (Yahuah’s) glory, who
first trusted in Yahusha the Messiah. 13 In whom (Yahusha) you also trusted (was the Messiah), after that you heard the word of
truth (that we too are sons of God), the
gospel of your salvation (purchased through the
blood sacrifice of Yahusha to consummate the covenant of marriage whereby we
are ONE with Yahuah): in whom (covenant
with Yahusha) also after that you believed, that you were sealed (on your forehead with The Shema) with that holy
Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest (guarantee) of our (future)
inheritance (as sons of God) until the redemption (transposition to The Kingdom of Yahuah )
of the purchased possession (when we’ll be begotten
gods, sons of Yahuah like Yahusha was upon resurrection), unto the
praise of his glory.
….
17 I
keep asking that the God of our King the Messiah Yahusha
(Yahuah is the God and Father of Yahusha in the
exact same way He is our God and Father
John 20:17), the
glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom (that incarnation is a lie) and revelation (that Yahusha was no different than you and I), so
that you may know him (your Father) better (by not worshipping Jesus as God). 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be
enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he (your Father) has called you (as His son), the riches of his (your Father’s) glorious inheritance in his (Yahuah’s) holy people, 19 and his (Yahuah’s)
incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same
(no difference between Yahusha and the rest of the
sons, Yahusha is not god incarnate) as the mighty strength 20 he (your Father Yahuah)
exerted when he (the Father) raised Yahusha
(His first born son) from the dead and
seated Yahusha at his (Father’s) right
hand (they are not the same being)
in The Kingdom of Yahuah , 21
far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that
is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And Yahuah (the
Father) placed all things under his (son
Yahusha’s) feet and appointed him (he had to earn it) to be head over everything for
sons of Yahuah,
23 which is his (Yahuah’s) body (Temple),
the fullness of him (Yahuah) who fills
everything in every way.
There really isn’t much I can add to that. Paul did an
outstanding job of explaining exactly what Yahuah set out to do and where Yahusha
fits in and where, we the rest of His sons, are destined within the Plan of Yahuah.
Yahusha was not a “god-man” and not the incarnation of Yahuah, that is a pagan
concept born in Babylon and the fundamental doctrine of all pagan religions.
Yahusha is the first human to complete the process of
perfection and the first human to be resurrected from the grave as a full son
of Yahuah. He is the only begotten son of the resurrection at this point.
But, he will not always be the only begotten son. There are many more to
follow.
Logos and
the firstborn of Creation
Yahusha is called the firstborn of Creation. Does this mean
that Yahusha was created and existed prior to his human birth? Is this
evidence of the doctrine of incarnation? To understand this title for Yahusha
we must use Wisdom and
Insight and overcome the pagan
philosophy of “Logos” and the physical to spiritual parallel of “light”.
It is imperative that we all know what happened when Greeks
and Romans took over the faith. We know the Greeks did not understand
scripture and twisted it into a lie:
1 Corinthians 1
20 Where
is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of
this age? Has not Yahuah made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For since, in the wisdom of Yahuah, the
world (the Roman Empire) through wisdom
did not know Yahuah, it pleased Yahuah through the foolishness of the
message preached to save those who believe. 22
For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom (through philosophy); 23 but we preach the Passover sacrifice of Yahusha,
to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and
Greeks, the Messiah is the power of Yahuah and the wisdom of Yahuah.
25 Because the foolishness of Yahuah is wiser
than men, and the weakness of Yahuah (if there is
such a thing) is stronger than men.
2 Peter 3
14 Therefore,
beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in
peace, without spot and blameless; 15 and
consider that the longsuffering of our King is salvation—as also
our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to
you, 16 as also in all his
letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to
understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own
destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.
We say that the Hebrew texts and the Gospel and all the
Hebrew names were “Hellenized” not realizing what that means. That word does
not just mean the Hebrew texts were translated into Greek and Latin. What
Hellenized literally means is that the polytheistic religion of the Greeks was
merged into the texts and the text altered to be “Greek appropriate” so the
pagans could be assimilated into the one world religion called Christianity. Hellenism
is Greek paganism. Everyone should fully understand what happened during
this time in history. The Truth of Yahuah was merged with pagan Hellenism
through syncretism. We see below that nothing changed with Hellenism and that
the same gods continued to be worshipped until 300 CE. This is when Constantine brought everything under one pagan religion called Christianity:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellenistic_religion
Hellenistic religion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hellenistic religion is any of the
various systems of beliefs and practices of the people who lived under the
influence of ancient Greek culture during the Hellenistic period and the Roman
Empire (c. 300 BCE to 300 CE).
There was much continuity in
Hellenistic religion: the Greek gods continued to be worshipped, and the same
rites were practiced as before.
We call this assimilation of Greek Hellenism
to be
Hellenized. We know that the pagan Greek religion (Hellenism) overtook
the truth of Yahuah and the resulting religion is now called Christianity:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellenization
Hellenization
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The twentieth century witnessed a
lively debate over the extent of Hellenization in the Levant and particularly
among the ancient Palestinian Jews that has continued until today. The
Judaism of the diaspora was thought to have succumbed thoroughly to its influences.
Bultmann thus argued that Christianity arose almost completely within
those Hellenistic confines and should be read against that background as
opposed to a more traditional (Palestinian) Jewish background
I want to firmly establish this historical fact because
“Logos” was one of those philosophical ideas of Hellenism that was incorporated
into the texts and the texts were altered by the Greek and Hellenized Jews who
translated it.
In order to justify the false doctrine of “pre-existence” or
the “incarnation” that Yahusha pre-existed with Yahuah and was co-creator and
in fact was God! Christianity quotes John Chapter 1:
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 He
was with God in the beginning.
3 Through
him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
4 In him was life, and that life was the
light of all mankind.
5 The light
shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 There was a
man sent from God whose name was John.
7 He
came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all
might believe.
8 He himself was not
the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
9 The true
light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10
He was in the world, and though the world was
made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11
He came to that which was his own, but his
own did not receive him.
12 Yet to
all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right
to become children of God—
13 children
born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but
born of God.
14 The Word
became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory
of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 (John
testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about
when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before
me.’”) 16
Out of his fullness we
have all received grace in place of grace already given. 17
For The Law was given through Moses; grace
and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No
one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in
closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
All the modern translation like the NIV above are uninspired
Hellenized translations giving preference to Greek mythology not the Hebrew
mindset. Let us define terms and then correct the modern Hellenized
translations with the intent and mindset of John who was a Hebrew Jew
not a Greek philosopher.
"Sound
Bites" vs. Sound Teaching
The doctrine of “pre-existence”, “Logos”, and the
“Incarnation” are very good examples of taking scripture out of context.
Taking scriptural “sound bites” and stringing them all together out of
context to create an implied doctrine. These doctrines are always easy to
identify because they violate clear explicate doctrine (sound doctrine).
Anytime an implied doctrine is formulated that contradicts explicit scriptures we
must reject that doctrine as our “understanding” is flawed.
Let's look closer at how the doctrine evolved that Yahusha
is literally the "Word" or “Divine Logos” of YAHUAH that became flesh
used to justify incarnation. Is Yahusha literally the "Word" or is Yahusha
the fulfillment of YAHUAH's Word from the beginning. There is a big difference.
Logos a
pagan philosophy
As you can see, the entire doctrine of incarnation that lead
to the acceptance of the pagan Babylonian Trinity through syncretism did not
come about until 4 centuries after Yahusha lived and died. That false
doctrine that Yahusha is literally "Logos" and not the fulfillment of
YAHUAH's predestined plan evolved in the 4th Century through the "tradition
and reasoning" under the influence of pagan Greek philosophers such as
Plato...
The Abingdon Dictionary of Living
Religions, page 767, tells us:
TRINITY (Ch). The Dogma, formulated
authoritatively in fourth century church Councils, that Christians worship one
God in three persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) and one substance. Under
pressure to explain to a hostile Roman world how Christians counted themselves
monotheists, Christian apologists (notably Justin Martyr, d. 165)
combined
Johannine and Stoic-Platonic understanding of the term Logos
("Reason," or "Word") in order to maintain that the Son was
both God's own self-expression and a being distinct from him.
So we read above The Trinity was justified
not through the Word of Yahuah
(because it cannot be) it was justified using Hellenism or the “combined
Johannine and Stoic Platonic” pagan philosophy of the term “Logos”.
We read below that the term
logos
was defined by Christians
according to the interpretations of pagan influenced philosophers in
order to promote a false pagan God-savior:
Encyclopedia Britannica,
Volume 7, page 449.
LOGOS (Greek:"word, "reason, or plan"), plural
logoi, in Greek philosophy and theology, the divine reason
implicit in the cosmos, ordering it and giving it form and meaning.
Though
the concept defined by the term logos is found in Greek, Indian, Egyptian, and
Persian philosophical and theological systems, it became particularly
significant in Christian writings and doctrines to describe or define the role
of Jesus Christ as the principle of God active in the creation and the
continuation structuring of the cosmos and in revealing the divine plan of
salvation to man. It thus underlies the basic Christian doctrine of the
pre-existence of Jesus…
The identification of Jesus with the logos
was further developed in the early church but more on the basis of Greek
philosophical ideas than on Old Testament motifs.
The concept of Logos was based on
Greek philosophical ideas
not on any prophecy or Old Testament “motifs” or Hebrew understanding at all.
It is and remains a pagan philosophy of Hellenism.
The Religions of Ancient Greece and Babylonia clearly tells us
that the Greek philosophical ideas were developed in Alexandria, Egypt
from the pagan Babylonian mystery religions. These ideas pertaining to
the meaning of Logos penetrated as a result of modern religious thought through
the philosophy of Greece and Egypt. It was through syncretism that we have the
word “Logos” or “Word” written in our English Bibles instead of “The
Plan of Yahuah”:
The Religions of Ancient Greece and Babylonia,
by A. H. Sayce. pages 229-230
Many of the theories
of Egyptian religion, modified and transformed no doubt, have penetrated into
the theology of Christian Europe, and form, as it were, part of the woof in the
web of modern religious thought. Christian theology was largely organized and
nurtured in the schools of Alexandria, and Alexandria was not only the meeting
place of East and West, it was also the place where the decrepit theology of
Egypt was revivified by contact with the speculative philosophy of Greece.
Perhaps, however, the indebtedness of Christian theological theory to
ancient Egyptian dogma is nowhere more striking than in the doctrine of the
Trinity. The very terms used of it by Christian theologians meet us again
in the inscriptions and papyri of Egypt. Originally the trinity was a triad
like those we find in Babylonian mythology. The triad consisted of a divine
father, wife, and son. The father became the son and the son the father through
all time, and of both alike the mother was but another form.
It is from the pagan mystery religions that the Greek philosophers developed
the idea of Logos:
The New International Dictionary of New
Testament Theology, Volume 3, page 1085
Among the systems offering an explanation of
the world in terms of the logos,
there are the Mystery
Religions. These cultic communities did not see their task as lying in the
communication of knowledge of a scientific nature, but of mysteries to their
initiates who strove for purification in the recurrent enactment of sacred
actions. The Foundation for these cultic actions was Sacred Text. Among them
were the cults of Dionysus, the Pytha-goreans, and the Orphic Mysteries. By
means of these cults, non Greek thought, such as in the Isis-Osiris Mysteries,
which Osiris the logos
created by Isis is the spiritual
image of the world.
Similarly in the cult of Hermes,
Hermes informed his son Tat in the Sacred Text belonging to the cult, how by
God's mercy, he became logos, and thus a
son of God. As such, he (Hermes) brought regulation and form into world,
but himself remained a mediating being between God and matter, on one side, and
God and man on the other. The logos
can
also, however, appear as the son of Hermes, resulting in a triple (trinity)
gradation: God (who is Zeus), Son (Hermes), and LOGOS (this is what they
believed in ROME and this is where we get our false doctrine of incarnation
from).
Now back to John Chapter 1 where this pagan philosophy of “Logos” was
mistranslated into our English Bibles by uninspired Hellenized translators.
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 He was with
God in the beginning.
3 Through him
all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of
all mankind. 5 The light shines in
the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
The word “word” in these verses comes from the Greek word
logos.
The pagan Christians, so eager to promote the pagan Trinity and incarnation
(The Spirit of the False Messiah), attached to the word
every pagan interpretation.
But they deliberately ignore the fact that John was a Hebrew Jew who had
nothing to do with pagan Greek philosophy and the Gospel of John was not
written from the pagan mindset associated with the Greek word
logos.
The Gospel of John was written from a Hebraic mindset and most probably penned
originally in Hebrew not Greek.
The Wycliffe Bible Encyclopedia,
Moody Press, Chicago, IL, Volume 2 pages 1046-1047.
Many scholars have argued that the apostle John
had this philosophical development (of the pagan LOGOS) in the back of his mind
when he wrote the prologue to his Gospel and that he actually tried to impart
some of these (pagan) concepts. For a long time many have contended that the
background of the fourth Gospel was essentially Hellenistic rather than
Hebraic. In dealing with such an assertion we may note that studies in the Dead
Sea scrolls have tended to confirm the traditional conservative position that
the cultural orientation of the Gospel of John was Hebraic.
Moreover, we must observe that John was a simple fisherman from Palestine. …
there
is no evidence that he imbibed any Greek pagan philosophical orientation in
John Chapter 1. If he intended to be philosophical in the first few
verses, he certainly was not anywhere else. We may argue
that John used
the word "logos." in its ordinary meaning.
This source admits that John used this word in its ordinary meaning in the
Hebraic mindset. They further admit that John's writings were Hebraic not Greek
which means the actual word John used was the Hebrew word
dabar
not the Greek word logos.
The Encyclopedia Judaica admits that the style of most of the
writings in The New Testament is, in fact, Hebraic. The Greek versions we have
today of The New Testament are later Hellenized versions translated from
earlier Hebrew original versions that were most likely burned after the council
of Nicea. So “logos” is a mistranslation; the original version of John
Chapter 1 used the Hebrew word debar.
The
Encyclopedia Judaica, Volume 12,
page 1060
THE LANGUAGE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.
Although the language of the New Testament, in
the form that it exists today, is Greek, two earlier influences are still
discernible.
(1) THE INFLUENCE OF
THE ARAMAIC-HEBREW
ORIGINALS. Because most of the authors were Jewish Nazarenes, they
spoke, for the most part, Aramaic, and some also mishnaic Hebrew.
This influence, which was detectable particularly in the original versions of
Mark and Matthew, survives to some degree in their extant Greek versions and in
several of the Epistles as well, including James and Jude.
(2) THE SEPTUAGINT.
Since this translation was used by many authors, the New Testament contains not
only Aramaic words and phrases, which the disciples heard from Jesus and took
care to remember out of reverence for their master (e.g. Talitha Kumi (Mark
5:41), Kum, Rabboni, Eli, Eli (Elohi, Elohi) lama sabachthani (Matt. 27:46;
Mark 15:24)), but also expressions and phrases which retain their Hebrew flavor
although they were transmitted through the Greek translation of the
Hebrew Bible.
So, John wrote under inspiration of Yahuah, not of a incarnated pre-existent
God-savior, but of the wonderful Plan of Yahuah which is what the
Hebrew word debar implies.
The Anchor Bible shows
us from the Talmud that seven things were in Yahuah's mind showing us what the
Hebraic mindset was. His Plan was from the beginning and this plan included
the Savior. This is the mindset of John Chapter 1 not the pagan philosophy of
“Logos”:
The Anchor Bible, Ephesians 1-3,
page 111
IN THE TALMUD tractate Pesachim 54a; cf.
Nedarim 39b, seven things, i.e. the law, repentance, paradise, Gehinnom, the
throne of glory, the heavenly sanctuary, and the messiah are not called
pre-created, but pre-conceived in (Yahuah's) thoughts.
Debar vs. Logos
The Gospel of John was originally written in Hebrew then
Hellenized into a Greek appropriate book in order to assimilate pagan
religions through syncretism. The Hebrew word used by John in John Chapter
1 was debar.
A Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon to the Old
Testament shows us that the Hebrew word
dabar refers to Yahuah's
Plan and His Laws.
A Hebrew and Chaldee
Lexicon to the Old Testament, by Julius Furst, page 312
dabar
The Interpreter's Dictionary states
emphatically that “word” or “logos” or “debar’ as used in The Bible is
referring to “Yahuah’s revealed will or predestined Plan” for mankind.
Speaking of the
debar i.e. “word”
of Yahuah, The Interpreter's Dictionary
states
emphatically:
The Interpreter's
Dictionary , Volulme 4 pages 870-871
"The
word of
God" (o logof tou qeou) is used of:
(a) the OT law (cf. Mark
7:13=Matt 15:6, where it is contrasted with the tradition of the Jews);
(b) a particular OT passage
(cf. John 10:35, referring to Ps. 82:6);
(c) in a more
general sense,
God's revealed will, or his whole plan
and purpose for mankind (cf. Luke 11:28; Rom. 9:6; Col. 1:25-27, where
it is defined as the "mystery hidden for ages and generations but now
manifest to his saints..., which is Christ in you"; Heb. 4:12);
The real
meaning of John Chapter 1
What we have learned above is that our English Bibles are
modern Hellenized uninspired translations that Hellenized the original Hebraic
mindset of the New Testament and promoted pagan philosophical thought. The way
John Chapter 1 is translated into English embodies the pagan philosophical
ideas from Babylon contained in the Greek word “Logos”. The real
meaning of “word” in John Chapter 1 can be found in the Hebrew
word “debar” which means
the predestined Plan of Yahuah.
What John had in mind was not the pre-existence of Yahusha,
but the pre-conceived Plan of Yahuah. This is the polar opposite of how John 1
is taught today. With
all this in mind, let us read the correct translation of the following
Scripture.
John 1
1 In the beginning was
debar
(the
plan of
Yahuah), and
the plan was with Yahuah (and defined His purpose in creation), and
the
plan was Yahuah's. 2 The same
plan was in the beginning with Yahuah.
3 All things were done according to the plan of Yahuah, and without the
plan
of Yahuah nothing was done, that was done. 4 In
this plan was (predestined) life (through
a human Messiah’s sacrifice), and that life was the light (revelation) to mankind. 5 Now that light (revealed plan to send a human Messiah has been fulfilled in Yahusha)
shines in the darkness, but the darkness does not take hold of it. 6 There was a man sent from Yahuah whose name was
John. 7 He came as a witness to
testify concerning that light (that Yahusha was The
Passover Lamb of Yahuah), so that through him all might believe (that Yahusha was the fulfillment of that plan to send a
human Messiah).
8 He
himself was not the light (the Messiah, many
believed John the Baptist was the Messiah); he came only as a
witness to the light (Yahusha).
9 The true
light (Yahusha) that gives light (reveals The WAY) to everyone was coming into the
world (as a man). 10
He (Yahusha)
was in the world (in the flesh), and though the
world was reconciled to Yahuah through him, the world did not recognize him.
11
Yahusha came to that which was his own
(the Jews), but his own did not receive him.
12
Yet to all who did receive him (enter into
The Yahushaic Covenant), to
those who believed in (the covenant that bears)
his name (The Yahushaic Covenant),
he gave the right to become children of God—
13
children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a
husband’s will, but begotten of Yahuah (through
resurrection).
14 The
predestined plan of Yahuah (to send a human Messiah)
became flesh (was born human and fulfilled in Yahusha)
and made his dwelling among us (was fully human in
every way Hebrews 2:17). We have seen Yahuah’s glory (fulfilled in Yahusha), the glory of the one and
only (begotten) Son (until the first resurrection), who came from the
(predestined mind or plan of the) Father,
full of grace (covered the death decrees for our
sin) and truth (properly teach The Torah
as Moses prophesied of him).
15 John
the Baptist testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I
spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was
before me (in the Plan of Yahuah and given
pre-eminence among the sons of Yahuah Colossians 1:17)’”)
16 Out of his fullness (of obedience to The Law) we have all received
grace (his blood covers the death decrees in the
Law) in place of grace already given. 17 For The Law (with
active decrees or The Law of Sin and Death) was
given through Moses; grace (the decrees
covered by the blood of the lamb) and truth (The Law of the Spirit that leads to life) came through
Yahusha the Messiah. 18 No one has ever seen God (including Yahusha) but (however) the one and only Son (has come as the light to reveal Yahuah to mankind),
who is himself the (the perfect human)
image of Yahuah (Colossians 1:15 – “He is the image
of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation”)
and is in closest relationship (covenant of
marriage, the two shall become one) with the Father, has made Yahuah’s
plan (to procreate a family) known to
us.
That is the meaning and intent in context of scripture and
the Hebraic mindset of John Chapter 1. Yahusha was not the incarnation of Yahuah
in the flesh nor did Yahusha have any hand in creation. Yahusha is the
fulfillment of the Plan of Yahuah to send a human Messiah. Yahusha was the
perfect human image of the invisible God. Yahusha is the Proxy of Yahuah. Yahusha
is the son of the Father and it is no more complicated than that.
John 14
8 Philip said, “King, show us the
Father and that will be enough for us.” 9 Yahusha answered: “Don’t you know
me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has
seen me has seen the (perfect human image of the
invisible) Father (NOT the incarnation
of God).
Colossians 1:15
“He is the
image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation
How can you say, ‘Show us the
Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in (covenant
with) the Father, and that the Father is in (covenant with) me? The words (of this covenant) I say to you I do not speak on
my own authority (because he is NOT God incarnate
he is the proxy or messenger of Yahuah of The Yahushaic Covenant, the human
SIGNATORY). Rather, it is the Father, living in me (through His Spirit), who is doing his work. 11 Believe
me when I say that I am in (covenant with)
the Father and the Father is in (covenant with)
me.
Yahusha and Yahuah are “one” through covenant. All
covenants in the Bible are marriage covenants. Within the context of
The
Yahushaic Covenant, Yahusha and Yahuah are one family (one through
marriage) that is what the physical to spiritual parallel of human marriage was
designed to teach us.
John 10
25
Yahusha answered them,
“I told you (I was the Messiah), and you do not believe. The
works that I do in My Father’s name (because he is
not God incarnate), they bear witness of Me. 26 But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to
you. 27
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they
follow my example. 28 And I give them (The Way to)
eternal life (by example), and they
shall never perish (if they follow my example);
neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all (even Yahusha because Yahusha is not a god-man or the
incarnation of Yahuah); and no one is able to snatch them out
of My Father’s hand. 30
I and My
Father are one (family he is my Father and I am His
son and we are one in mind, will, purpose, and
Spirit through covenant of Marriage… the two shall become one).”
Yahusha came to fulfill the marriage vows
(The Law) which were always the foundation of every marriage covenant:
Jeremiah 3
14 “Return,
O backsliding children,” says Yahuah “for I am married to you.”
Yahusha’s
beginning
Yahusha’s existence began like the existence of all the sons
of Yahuah at the point of his human birth to two earthly parents. Yahusha did
not “pre-exist” other than in the mind of Yahuah within the context of the Plan
of Yahuah.
King David spoke prophetically as though Yahusha was doing
the talking in:
Psalm 22:9-10
9 But you took Me from My
mother's womb, Yahuah! You made Me trust in You, even from My mother's
breast. 10 I was cast upon You from My birth; from My mother's womb, You are
My Strength.
The word for word Hebrew translation of
Psalm 22:9-10,
from The NIV Interlinear Hebrew-English Old Testament shows the
word from in these Scriptures:
The Dictionary of Old Testament Words for English Readers, says that
the Hebrew letter, mem, which has been circled in the previous
copy, is prefixed to a substantive, which denotes the preposition.
However, it is The Hebraic Tongue Restored,
by Fabre d'Olivet, which tells us what these prepositions mean when the Hebrew
letter mem is prefixed.
EXTRACTIVE OR PARTITIVE ARTICLE.
__ The movement which this article expresses, with nouns or actions
that it modifies, is that by which a noun or an action is taken for the means,
for the instrument, by which they are divided in their essence, or drawn from
the midst of several other nouns or similar actions. I render it ordinarily by from,
out of, by; with, by means of, among, between, etc.
The New World Dictionary of the American Language,
Second College Edition, gives a complete definition of the word from
in Hebrew mem as beginning at, starting with, out of.
The word translated from in Psalm 22:10,
means beginning at, starting with. Yahusha is
prophetically pictured through King David to say that Yahuah was His strength
from the beginning, starting with the point Yahusha Messiah was conceived in
His mother's womb. Yahuah was Yahusha's strength. This can only mean one
thing: that before Yahusha was in His mother's womb, Yahuah was not His
strength, because Yahusha did not yet exist. He had no need of strength.
Yahuah was only Yahusha's strength, beginning at, starting with, His mother's
womb. The belief that Yahusha had his beginning in the womb as flesh is The
Spirit of Yahuah. The denial and belief in the incarnation and Trinity is the
Spirit of the False Messiah (Jesus Christ).
Divine
Emanation? Was Yahusha co-creator?
One of the false doctrines that have evolved in Christianity
is that Yahuah created the Universe through “Jesus” by the process
called
Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary
Emanation
b:
the origination of the world by a series of hierarchically descending radiations
from the Godhead through intermediate stages to matter
The doctrine of Divine Emanation from Yahuah through Yahusha
implying Yahusha was co-creator is another “implied doctrine” taken from “sound
bites” of scripture. The main scripture is the uninspired translation of John
Chapter 1:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 He was with
God in the beginning.
3 Through him
all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
I have already demonstrated that the true meaning of John
Chapter 1 says nothing like the uninspired English modern translations as they
used the Babylonian myth associated with “logos” to translate that verse. The
real meaning of John Chapter 1 is:
1 In the beginning was the
plan
of Yahuah, and
the plan was with Yahuah
(and
defined His purpose in creation), and
the plan was Yahuah's.
2 The same plan
was in the beginning with Yahuah. 3 All things were done
according to the plan of Yahuah, and without the
plan of Yahuah
nothing was done, that was done.
Scripture is very clear that Yahuah created the Universe
all
alone, there was no one with Him and that Yahuah alone sits on the
throne of Creation. Yahusha sits at the right hand of Yahuah and was only
seated there after his resurrection. Yahusha sits on the throne of
The
Kingdom of Yahuah as Yahuah’s proxy King to govern Yahuah’s creation.
Daniel 7
13 “I
kept looking in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven One (Yahusha) like a Son of Man (born human) was coming, And He (Yahusha) came up to the Ancient of Days (Yahuah who is everlasting and had no beginning, they are
not the same being) And Yahusha was presented before Yahuah. 14 “And to Him (Yahusha)
was given (by Yahuah as an inheritance)
dominion, Glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations and men of
every language Might serve Him (not
worship Yahusha, we serve Yahusha in The Kingdom). His dominion is
an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which
will not be destroyed.
Like all “implied doctrines” the false doctrines of The
Trinity, The Incarnation, and Divine Emanation violate direct explicate
declarations in Scripture. Yahuah alone is Creator:
Isaiah 44
6 “This
is what Yahuah says — Israel’s King (Yahusha had
not yet been installed as Yahuah’s proxy King) and Redeemer, Yahuah
Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.
Isaiah
44
24 “This
is what Yahuah says— your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am Yahuah, the
Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens, who spreads out the
earth by myself.
Isaiah 42
5 This is what YAHUAH
says— He
who
created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all
that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who
walk on it:
Isaiah 45
5 I am YAHUAH,
and there is no other;
apart from me there is no God. 7 I form the light and create
darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, YAHUAH, do all these things.
12 It is I
who made the earth and created mankind upon it. My
own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts. 18
For this is what YAHUAH says— He
who created the heavens, He
(alone) is God;
He who fashioned and
made the earth, He
founded it; He
did
not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited—
He says: "I am YAHUAH, and there is no other (God)."
Isaiah 46
5 "To whom will you compare me or count me
equal? To whom will you liken me that we may be compared? 8
"Remember this, fix it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels. 9
Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God,
and there is no other; I
am God, and there is none like me. 10 I make known the end
from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My
purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.
Yahuah makes it crystal clear that He alone is The Creator
and He alone sits on The Throne of Creation. Yes, Yahuah is
The
Creator and He did it all alone. Despite all the rhetoric from the
Christian Church about “the Trinity” and “divine emanation”, “Divine Logos”,
and so forth… Yahuah cleared it up. He did it by Himself. There was no one
with Him.
Did Yahusha
accept worship as the incarnated God?
One of the misconceptions taught in the Christian Church to
“prove” that Yahusha was Yahuah in the flesh and establishes the pagan
doctrines of The Trinity and Incarnation is that Yahusha accepted worship as a
deity. Therefore, by implication (implied doctrine), he was Yahuah in the
flesh. We need to employ just a little bit of common sense here.
The issue at hand is “Glory” which Yahuah declares that He
alone is wise and to Him alone belongs “glory, majesty, dominion, and power”
Jude 1:25
25 to Yahuah Our Savior, who alone
is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever.
Yahusha agreed:
Matthew 19:16-17
16 Behold, one came to him and
said, "Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal
life?" 17 He said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good
but one, that is, Yahuah. But if you want to enter into life, keep the
commandments of Yahuah."
John 17:3
Now this is eternal life: that they
know you Yahuah, the only true God, and (are in covenant with) Yahusha the Messiah, whom
you have sent (as the mediator of that covenant).
Matthew 4:10
Yahusha said to him, "Away
from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship Yahuah your God, and serve
Him only.'"
Mark 12:29
"The most commandment,"
answered Yahusha, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel: Yahuah our God, Yahuah is
one.
Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace
Another misquoted passage of scripture to promote the incarnation
is found in Isaiah. The confusion comes in because Yahuah through inheritance
gave dominion, power, and authority by extension to Yahusha His son and proxy
after Yahusha’s resurrection. The confusion is created by the fact that there
are two thrones as I have stated before:
Revelation 5:13
13
And
I heard every creature which is in heaven and on the earth, and under the earth
and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, saying, “Blessing and
honor and glory and power be unto Him (Yahuah)
that sitteth upon the throne of Creation, and unto the Lamb (who sits on Yahuah’s right hand on the throne of The
Kingdom of Yahuah) forever and ever!”
As Yahuah’s proxy and perfect human image (reflection) of
the Glory of Yahuah, Yahusha is called by titles. The titles below have been
used in justification of the Trinity, and incarnation. The titles below must
be understood IN CONTEXT of the entire Word of Yahuah to understand them.
-
The first title “Mighty God” is in context referring to Yahusha as
the “perfect human image of the invisible God”.
-
The second title below “Father of Everlasting” is not saying Yahusha
is the Everlasting Father Yahuah. That title, like Abraham who is called the
“Father of Faith” meaning the forefather of faith, is referring to the fact
that Yahusha is the forerunner or forefather to attain eternal life; he is the
first born son.
Below is the scripture used to justify that “Jesus is God in
the flesh”. I have put in blue parenthesis the scripture below in context:
Isaiah 9:6-7
"For to us a child is born, to
us a son is given, and the government shall be on his shoulders
and he will be called Wonderful Counselor, (Colossians
1:15 the perfect image of)
Mighty God, (fore) Father of Everlasting (life
1 Corinthians 15:20), and Prince
of Peace." There will be no end to the increase of His government or of
peace, on the Throne of David and over His Kingdom, to establish it and to
uphold it with justice and righteousness from then on and forevermore.
We see the clear difference between Yahuah and Yahusha
below:
Daniel 7
13 “I
kept looking in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven One (Yahusha) like a Son of Man was
coming, And He (Yahusha) came up to the
Ancient of Days (Yahuah, they are not the same
being) and was presented before Him. 14 “And to Him (Yahusha)
was given (by Yahuah as an inheritance)
dominion, Glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations and men of
every language Might serve Him (not
worship Yahusha, we serve Yahusha in The Kingdom). His dominion is
an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will
not be destroyed.
To whom
does Glory belong?
In order to answer the question; did Yahusha accept
worship? We need to define the term glory. I will admit there is a very fine
line that we are treading. While it is YAHUAH alone to whom Glory (worship)
belongs... it is Yahusha who embodies the very "image" of the
invisible YAHUAH. Yahusha represents in bodily form the INVISIBLE God Yahuah.
Yahusha is both a reflection of Yahuah to us and Yahusha reflects Glory from us
back to Yahuah.
Glory as CREATOR belongs to YAHUAH alone. The glory as King
and Heir to all that YAHUAH created belongs to Yahusha given to him by Yahuah
as an inheritance. It is with that clear understanding that we must approach
Scripture. So I am very careful to whom I direct my WORSHIP (Glory) as opposed
to my praise (as the one who is worthy). There is only ONE worthy of my
worship.... and that is Yahuah. Yahusha is worthy of my highest praise. Below
is the definition of the word glory and how I apply it and to whom:
Merriam-Webster Online
Dictionary
glory
Main Entry: 1glo·ry
1 a : praise, honor, or
distinction extended by common consent : RENOWN b : worshipful praise, honor,
and thanksgiving <giving glory to God>
2 a : something that secures
praise or renown <the glory of a brilliant career> b : a distinguished
quality or asset
3 a (1) : great beauty and
splendor : MAGNIFICENCE something marked by beauty or resplendence <a
perfect glory of a day> b : the splendor and beatific happiness of heaven;
broadly : ETERNITY
To #1 above I give to YAHUAH alone.
To #2 above I give you Yahusha alone.
To #3 above I give to both.
To whom
did Yahusha teach us to direct our worship?
To whom I give glory in the form of worship is not
the real question here. The real question is did Yahusha accept glory in the
form of divine worship that belongs to Yahuah? Or did Yahusha accept glory in
the form of worship given to a superior man in rank and position? We see below
that Yahusha directed all glory in the form of divine worship to Yahuah alone:
Mark 12:28-30
28 So he asked Him; what is the greatest
commandment of all? 29 And Yahusha answered Him: The greatest of all the
commandments is: Hear, O Israyl, Yahuah is our Father. Yahuah is one God. 30
And you must love Yahuah your Father with all your heart and with all your
soul, and with all your might.
Matthew 4:10
Then Yahusha said to her; you get
away, Satan! For it is written: Yahuah your Father you must worship, and Him
only you must serve!
Matthew 23:9
And you must not pray to
or
worship any man on earth as a "Father," for you have only One
Father, Who is in heaven.
But Yahusha
accepted worship from his disciples!
Now concerning the rest of the scriptures that appear to
demonstrate that Yahusha was worshipped; I will just lump them all together and
give you the reason behind it. First, let me say that we are commanded to
worship in Spirit (to Yahuah) and in (the) Truth (Yahusha is the truth and the
way). So true worship of Yahuah is coming to Him by the example of the true
way. That is coming to Him through Yahusha by proxy.
John 4:24
24 Yahuah is spirit (not a man or man incarnate), and his worshipers
must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
John 14:6
6 Yahusha answered, “I am the way
and the truth and the life (my example the true way
to eternal life). No one comes to the Father except through (in covenant with) me (by
following in my footsteps).
Next, I want to point out that the word translated
"worship" is a word used to describe
the act of bowing down
which in many cases is not the intent of "worshipping Yahuah" or
Divine Worship; but rather recognizing a superior in rank or messenger of Yahuah.
In the case of bowing down before a messenger of Yahuah, those that bow are not
worshipping the messenger. They are bowing down recognizing the messenger
"comes with the power and authority of Yahuah" giving Yahuah glory
through the messenger… this would be an example of worshipping Yahuah in Spirit
with the understanding that Yahusha is the true way to Him. It is a fine line
but Yahusha understood that line as I will demonstrate.
Before I go any further let me say that bowing down to Yahusha
as the anointed proxy of Yahuah and anointed King of Yahuah's Creation and the
"Truth of Yahuah" is not divine worship it is respect. I have no
problem with this type of “respectful worship (bowing down to)” with the
understanding of Yahusha's superior position in the Kingdom as well as the
power and authority of Yahuah given to Yahusha as "The Truth and the
Light” of Yahuah. I have no problem with and do not see that act as a violation
of Yahuah's revealed will nor proof that Yahusha is Yahuah as long as the Spiritual
Intent of that act is righteously directed toward Yahuah through Yahusha
the proxy.
Paul does not say that every knee shall bow to Yahusha; it
is before Yahuah that every knee shall bow in worship. Yahusha is the
Judge not The Creator. We stand before Yahusha,
we hit our
knees in worship before Yahuah:
Romans 14:10-11
For we shall all stand before
the judgment seat of the Messiah. 11 For it is written in Isaiah 45:23: “As
I live, says Yahuah, Every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess
to Yahuah.” 12 So then each of us shall
give account of himself to Yahuah.
Yahuah looks at the "Spiritual Intent" not the
physical act alone. One person could "bow down" to
Jesus in
an act of Godly worship while another can "bow down" to The Messiah Yahusha
in an act of recognizing his superior position and by proxy give worship to Yahuah.
One would be justified, the other in idolatry.
However, a witness to those two people both bowing down
would not know the "intent" of their heart and describe both using
the same word in Hebrew and Greek/Latin. So those words describe both physical
acts of Divine Worship and reverence to authority.
Worship
of Yahusha is not divine worship
Ok, among the many passages of the New Testament that
presents Yahusha as being the object of "worship" is Matthew 14:33.
Matthew 14:33
33 Then they that were in the ship
came and worshipped (bowed down before) him,
saying, of a truth thou art the Son of God (they bowed
down to Yahusha in the sense of respect for his superior position as son of Yahuah.
They did not worship him as Yahuah.)
Here we have a clear situation - one of many recorded in the
New Testament - of Yahusha being "worshipped", yet those worshipping
him did not worship him as Yahuah but as the Son of Yahuah, which
to them, actually meant that they recognized him as Messiah or as an empowered,
righteous agent of the Almighty God. They were bowing down as an act of
respect to authority before Yahusha and as an act of worship to Yahuah through
His proxy.
Although many think the term "worship" is only
applicable to "God", in fact the term relates to showing reverence
even to a fellow man. Christian teachers do not make this distinction as they
are false teachers and lead us astray to believe Yahusha was worshipped. Then
these false teachers take that sound bite out of context and assume
Jesus
is God. In every case bowing down to Yahusha is in the context of showing
reverence to a higher authority.
As the Strong's Lexicon points out, the Greek term is simply
"used of homage shown to men and beings of superior rank".
The Greek word rendered “worship” in the NT is the Greek word proskyneō
below is the Strong’s entrance for the word:
Lexicon :: Strong's G4352 – proskyneō
in the NT by kneeling or
prostration to do homage (to one) or make obeisance, whether in order to express
respect or to make supplication
In the 2nd Temple era when Yahusha lived; kneeling or
prostration to do homage (to one) or make obeisance (which is translated as ‘worship’
in the NT), whether in order to express respect or to make supplication was a
common practice. It remains a common practice even today in the Orient in
Japanese, Chinese, Muslim, and other cultures around the world. This is not
Godly worship.
The often referenced instances of Yahusha being “worshipped”
are another example of the desperation Christians to find any shred of proof
for their unsubstantiated and false doctrines. This is another example of the
biased use of "implicit" proofs by those promoting the mystery Babylon man-God or traditional Trinitarian Christianity and counterfeit Messiah Jesus
Christ. They IMPLY what is not there.
The reference,
A Dictionary of Biblical Languages With
Semantic Domains: Hebrew (Old Testament), by James Swanson, defines the
Hebrew word often translated "worship" as - "take a stance of
bowing low in an act of respect or honor, but not necessarily worship of deity"
(Genesis 43:28).
The reference in Genesis below is just such an example of
the type of “worship” Yahusha accepted:
Genesis 43:28
And they answered, Thy servant our
father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they (worshipped -
proskyneō)
bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
This term "obeisance" is from the Hebrew
equivalent of the Greek term used in the verse from Matthew proskyneō
shown above, as well as most other New Testament verses where
"worship" is the translation. The proper translation should read “bowed
down to” not “worshipped”. Again we see the bias of uninspired
Hellenized translators. Matthew, as many of you already know, is now strongly
assumed to have been initially written in Hebrew; however, even if it wasn't,
it was still written by a Hebrew from memory of conversations in Hebrew.
From Strong's Lexicon we determine the Hebrew term to mean:
Strong's Number 7812
shachah {shaw-khaw'} a
primitive root; TWOT - 2360; v
AV - worship 99, bow 31, bow
down 18, obeisance 9, reverence 5, fall down 3, themselves 2, stoop 1, crouch
1, misc 3; 172
to bow down
to bow down, prostrate oneself
before a superior man in homage
before God in worship
before false gods
before angels
Note that the term can even refer to "worship" of
false gods! Of course, this is precisely the type of worship practiced by
Trinitarians and all others that promote the antichrist (replacement Messiah)
deception that Jesus is God. Obviously, the context of Genesis is not
referring to worship of Yahuah. It records Joseph's brothers bowing before him
i.e. "worshipping" him (obeisance) as someone of much higher rank.
Are Trinitarians prepared to claim that everyone in Scripture that was
"worshipped" is Yahuah (God)? Since Joseph was "worshipped"
do they also claim he was Yahuah? Of course not. We simply need to do a small
amount of research into the meaning of the Greek and Hebrew words that were
translated as “worship” to realize there are two types of “worship”. Worship
directed to Yahuah and worship directed to Yahusha as a superior in rank and
authority as the son of Yahuah.
Did Yahusha
commit blasphemy claiming to be the incarnation of God?
Did Yahusha claim he was
the Great I AM? Did
he claim he and Yahuah were one being? Christianity would have us believe he
did just that and the Jews tried him for blasphemy because of it. They say Yahusha
was found innocent of blasphemy because he was Yahuah so it wasn’t
blasphemy. If Yahusha did in fact make those claims then he would have been
found guilty of blasphemy but they found him innocent!
Christianity teaches that when asked by Pilot about these
charges that Yahusha remained silent implying he was God. Yahusha did
not reply to those charges because he had already provided a defense to the
Jews and knew he must die at the hands of his brothers to save them. The truth
is not that difficult to understand when Scripture and the words of Yahusha are
not taken out of context they were meant. Yahusha did not claim to be Yahuah
he claimed to be the son of Yahuah. Yahusha was simply declaring a fact
that Yahuah proclaimed of all of us:
Psalm 82
6 I have said, Ye are (all) gods;
and all of you are children of the most High.
The Jews in authority at that time were trying to arrest Yahusha
for blasphemy claiming that by saying he was the son of Yahuah was committing
blasphemy. They were implying the same thing Christians imply today
that “son of Yahuah” means equal to Yahuah and Yahuah in the flesh. Yahusha
wasn’t buying it and defended himself very well against these charges. He
never defended them as Christians imply by saying he was Yahuah in the flesh.
Yahusha responded to their claims of blasphemy below with my
comments in blue parenthesis. We see that Yahusha explained to the Jews who
wanted to stone him for blasphemy that he used the term “son of God” in the
same sense that Yahuah claimed all children of Israel were gods, the son of
the Most High. So Yahusha asked them “how is it blasphemy just because I refer
to myself as the son of God when Yahuah said we all are?”
John 10
29 My
Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them
out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and the Father
are one (in mind, will, purpose, and spirit through
marriage covenant. We ALL are one with our Father in the same exact way).”
John 17:19-21
20 “My
prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in (enter into covenant with) me through their
message,
21 that all of them may
be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be ONE in
us
34 Yahusha
answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I
have said you are “gods”’?
35 If he
called them (the Israelites) ‘gods,’ to whom
the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—
36
what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent
into the world? Why then do you accuse me of
blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?
37
Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father. 38
But if I do them, even though you do not believe me,
believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in (covenant with) me, and I in (covenant
with) the Father.”
39 Again
they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp.
Yahusha’s defense was simple as he know we are all one with
one with Yahuah and sons of Yahuah not just Yahusha. He was accepting what Yahuah
had declared in Psalm 82 and quoted that scripture back to the Jews. He wasn’t
saying OR implying he was God incarnate or Yahuah in the flesh, he was simply
acknowledging a fact that pertains to ALL of us… Yahusha realized at that point
that the “trap” they had laid for him was falsely accusing him of blasphemy by
saying Yahusha implied he was Yahuah by using the term son of God. Yahusha
explained that he was not saying he was Yahuah. He was acknowledging the fact
that, as Yahuah said, he was a god and the son of Yahuah. The same thing said
of King David, Solomon, and many others in scripture. The same thing said of
all those in The Yahushaic Covenant. The answer is no, Yahusha
did not commit blasphemy and no Yahusha never said he was God. Both the Jews
and the Christians today are bearing false witness against the Messiah. Yahusha
explained exactly what he meant.
Did Yahusha
claim he was the Great I Am?
John 8
55 Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar
like you, but I do know him and keep his word.56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing
my day; he saw it and was glad."
57 "You are not yet fifty years old," the Jews
said to him, "and you have seen Abraham!" 58 "I tell you the truth," Yahusha answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"
59 At this, they picked
up stones to stone him, but Yahusha
hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.
In the scene above Yahusha is telling the Jews that because
they transgress The Law of Yahuah with their human tradition and commandments
of men (the Talmud) they are liars when they say they know Yahuah. When Yahusha
made the statement “before Abraham was born, I AM” in context of
the Word of Yahuah and the predestined plan of Yahuah to send a human Messiah; Yahusha
was simply saying “before Abraham was born, I am (prophesied
to come and have pre-eminence among the sons of Yahuah in the pre-ordained Plan
of Yahuah).” Letting scripture interpret scripture we establish sound
doctrine to overcome this sound bite. Yahusha knew he was given preeminence
among all things in the plan of Yahuah which was with Yahuah at creation
therefore “before Abraham”. Paul confirms this fact:
Colossians 1:15-20
15 He is the image
(human reflection of his father as all sons are reflection
or images of their fathers) of the invisible God, the firstborn son
of all creation. 16 For by Yahuah all things were created, in heaven and on
earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or
authorities—all things were created through Yahuah and for Yahusha. 17 And Yahuah
is before all things, and in Yahuah all things hold together. 18 And Yahusha is
the head of the body, the church. Yahusha is the beginning, the firstborn from
the dead, that in everything Yahusha might be preeminent. 19 For in Yahusha
all the fullness of Yahuah’s Spirit was pleased to dwell, 20 and through Yahusha,
Yahuah would reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven,
making peace by the blood of his cross (Yahuah would
reconcile creation in covenant with Yahusha).
Paul is explaining what Yahusha was stating… two facts: 1.)
he was before Abraham and had pre-eminence in the Plan of Yahuah. 2.) Yahusha
is before Abraham in the resurrection being the first born of all eternal
creatures. As I stated early, Yahusha accepted worship as the preeminent son
of Yahuah and was before all men in the Plan of Yahuah. Below is the meaning
of preeminence:
pre·em·i·nence
noun: pre-eminence; plural
noun: pre-eminences; noun: preeminence; plural noun: preeminences
1. the fact of surpassing all
others; superiority.
So before Abraham was born, Yahusha said “I am preeminent
among the sons of Yahuah”. Yahusha’s use of the phrase “I am” was no different
than how you and I would use it today. If you ask me if I am a son of Yahuah,
I would reply “I am”. Would you stone me for blasphemy? I am not claiming in
any way to be Yahuah nor saying that I am The Great I AM simply
because I used the phrase “I am”. Neither was Yahusha. In fact, Yahusha uses
this phrase often and never was he implying he was the Great I AM in the
process. Below we see Yahusha use the phrase I am and what he meant:
1.
Bread - “I am the
bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not hunger.”
John 6:35
2.
Light - “I am the
light of the world; he who fallows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall
have the light of life.” John 8:12
3.
Gate - “I am the
gate; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out,
and find pasture.” John 10:9
4.
Good Shepherd -
“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for His sheep.”
John
10:11
5.
Resurrection and Life
- “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if
he dies.” John 11:25
6.
Way, Truth, Life
- “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through
Me.” John 14:6
7. True
vine - “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.” John
15:1
Given Yahusha’s use of the term I Am he would have said “I
am the Great I AM” if that is what he intended to say. Again, to understand
what Yahusha was saying in John 8:58 we must put this statement into context of
Scripture. Christianity takes John 8:58 out of context and combines it with
John Chapter 1 that is mistranslated to come up with the false teaching that Yahusha
claimed to be God.
In fact those two verses do combine to give us the truth of
what Yahusha was saying. Yahusha was simply saying that before Abraham was
born, Yahusha was prophesied to come in the Plan of Yahuah and was preeminent
in that plan. I have proven earlier in this book is exactly what John 1
states:
John 1:1-5
1 In the beginning was the
plan
of Yahuah, and
the plan was with Yahuah (and
defined His purpose in creation), and
the plan was Yahuah's.
2 The same plan
was in the beginning with Yahuah. 3 All things were done
according to the plan of Yahuah, and without the
plan of Yahuah
nothing was done, that was done. 4 In this plan
was (predestined) life (through
a human Messiah’s sacrifice, he was the for father of eternal life), and
that life was the light (revelation) to
mankind. 5 Now that light (revealed plan to send a
human Messiah) shines in the darkness, but the darkness does not
take hold of it…
Again, in every case where incarnation is taught
it is taken out of context. Put back into context that false doctrine crumbles
and is exposed as The Spirit of the Antichrist.
1 John 4
1 Dear friends, do not believe
every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from Yahuah, because
many false prophets have gone out into the world (all
pagan ‘Christs” were demi-gods i.e. Tammuz, Horus, Hesus, Krhishna, Apollo,
Mithra, in whose image
was fashioned at the
Council of Nicaea).
2 This
is how you can recognize the Spirit of Yahuah: Every spirit that acknowledges
that the Messiah Yahusha has come in the flesh (100% human) is from Yahuah, 3 but every spirit
that does not acknowledge
(that Yahusha was human, but elevates a man who
died as God above Yahuah Romans 1) is not from God; this (doctrine of incarnation that Jesus is God in the flesh)
is the
spirit of the
antichrist,
of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.
4 You are from Yahuah (not just Yahusha we all are ‘from Yahuah’),
little children (speaking to the spiritually
immature), and have overcome them (the
pagan incarnate god-men Christs they once believed in); because
greater is Yahuah who is in you than he (the spirit
of Dagon the Dragon Rev. 13) who is in the world. 5 They (the pagans who
believe in god-men known as Christs i.e. Christos Mithra, Christos Appolos,
Khrishna, Christos Hesus) are from the (pagan)
world; therefore they speak as from the world (as pagans in their doctrines), and the (pagan) world listens to them. 6 We are from Yahuah; he who knows Yahuah (is the only true God and there is no other)
listens to us (who teach that Yahusha came in the
flesh as all men do and was raised divine and so became the for-father of
eternal life); he who is not from Yahuah does not listen to us.
By
this we know the spirit of truth (Yahusha
was not Yahuah incarnate) and the spirit of error
(the doctrine of incarnation).
The Trinity and Incarnation doctrines are
literally built upon implied doctrine and the Christian scribes had to
add words to Scripture in order to even be able to “imply” such nonsense. If
you take out the words added to scripture to promote the “doctrine of the False
Messiah” and put those verses back into context there is
zero references to incarnation and the Trinity. We have been lied to for 2000
years:
Jeremiah
8:8-9
“How can
you say, ‘We are wise, and The Law of Yahuah is with us’? But behold, the
lying pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. 9 The wise men shall be
put to shame; they shall be dismayed and taken; behold, they have rejected
the word of Yahuah, so what wisdom is in them?
Jeremiah
16:19
O Yahuah, my strength, and my
fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto
thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have
inherited lies, false gods, and
pagan rituals
wherein there is no profit.
Yahusha clearly admits he is not my "God" but my brother
I am about to end this section with the clear and
documented truth that Yahuah is not Yahusha. Yahusha is our brother not our
"God". Yahuah is our God and Father not our brother. The simplicity
and obviousness of the truth is inescapable. It was not through "Yahusha"
that all things exist as the pagan "Logos" lie is taught, but through
Yahuah alone...
Hebrews
2:10-18 - NIV
10 In
bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that Yahuah, for whom
and through whom everything exists, (Yahuah)
should make the pioneer of their salvation (Yahusha
the forefather of eternal life) perfect through what he suffered (Yahusha was not god incarnate he wasn’t even born perfect!).
11 Both the one who makes people holy (Yahuah)
and those who are made holy (Yahusha and all his
brother/sisters) are of the same family.
So Yahusha is not
ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. 12 He says,
“I will declare your
name (Yahuah)
to my brothers and
sisters (Yahusha is not our God, he is our
elder brother in the family of Yahuah); in the assembly I will sing
your praises.” 13 And again, “I (Yahusha)
will put my trust in him (Yahuah).” And
again he says, “Here am I, and the (rest of the)
children Yahuah has given me (to rule over as king).”
14 Since the children
have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity (he was human too not a demi-god) so that by his death
(the death of a man not God) he might
break the power of him who holds the power of death (defeat The Law of Sin and Death)—that is, the devil— 15 and
free (all who now live by The Law of the Spirit of
Life) those who all their lives
were
held in slavery by their fear of death (we were
held in slavery to the death decrees not The Law). 16 For surely it
is not angels Yahusha helps, but Abraham’s descendants. 17 For this reason he (Yahusha) had to be made like them (he was made human just like I was),
fully
human in every way (doesn’t get any
clearer than that), in order that he might become a merciful and
faithful high priest (all High Priests are chosen
from among men… Hebrews 5:1) in service to Yahuah (he was not the incarnate Yahuah), and that he
might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18 Because he himself suffered
when he was tempted (proof he was not Yahuah, Yahuah
cannot be tempted by evil), he is able to help those who are being
tempted.
James 1:13
For Yahuah cannot be tempted by
evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
That is the long and short of it. There is
absolutely no difference between Yahusha pre-resurrection than there is you and
I now accept Birthright, inheritance, and position in the Kingdom of Yahuah. All
the claims he made of being one with Yahuah we too have the authority to
claim. All the claims to be god, we too have the authority to claim. We too
are the sons of Yahuah. Everything that Yahusha is now post resurrection, in
terms of “being”, we will be too after we are resurrected. I will be a
god, a King, a Priest, Righteous Judge etc. Again the main difference is that Yahusha
is the first born son, he is the King of Kings, and High Priest. WE ARE OF THE
SAME EXACT FAMILY! There is no Trinity or “Godhead” there is Yahuah the Father
and all His chosen sons.
Yahuah is the God of Yahusha just like he is my God!
The scripture below speaks volumes, and should be
the end of this discussion:
John
20:17
17 Yahusha
said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My
Father; but go to My brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to
My
Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.' "
Again, it just doesn’t get any clearer than that.
Summary
Jesus Christ
represents The Spirit of the Antichrist (False Messiah) as it was
in the “image of a man who died” in whom The Law of Yahuah was abolished. The True
Messiah Yahusha declared he did NOT abolish The Law. In fact the example he
set on this Earth was that of a Torah Obedient Jewish Rabbi. As the chosen
Messiah, Yahusha was sent by Yahuah to bring The Law to its fullest meaning and
expression spiritually, that is what fulfill means. It does not mean
“abolish”.
The Law was given to Moses by Yahuah in physical “letter” as
a mentor/teacher to keep us ‘under’ protective custody with the ‘hope’ of a
coming Messiah who would fulfill the promises made in The Law. Those promises
are a Passover sacrifice to make the law whole and deliver us from our sin.
Yahuah would fulfill His promises to cover our sin by the
blood of the lamb in the Yahushaic Covenant by covering the death decrees that
demand out death. It is in that way that Yahusha ‘fulfilled’ The Law and made
it whole! In the process bringing all who lovingly obey the spiritual intent
of The Law into total compliance resulting in eternal life which is the promise
made in The Law for obedience to it.
So The Law in the Mosaic Covenant was referred to by the
Apostle Paul as The Law of Sin and Death because it was
incomplete and we were being held captive by the fear of the death decrees.
In The Yahushaic (New) Covenant the Apostle Paul refers to The
Law as The Law of the Spirit of Life because the death decrees
have been cover releasing us from bondage to ‘sin therefore you die’. The Law
has been fulfilled by covering the death decrees which, the fear of those death
decrees had created enmity between us and Yahuah. So now Yahuah, by removing
the death decrees by sacrificing his son in fulfillment of the Abraham/Isaac
parallel, has now given us a loving heart for His Law (writing it on our heart)
and gave us His Spirit of Holiness that teaches us to keep His commandment and
obey His Law; only out of love instead of fear. So now we have ‘The Law of the
Spirit of Holiness that leads to eternal life’ because the death decrees are
covered by the blood of the lamb… i.e. The Law of the Spirit of Life!
That is the testimony of Yahusha.
The testimony of
Jesus is the Law has
been abolished, i.e. The Lawless One.
Jesus Christ also
fulfills the role of “the Beast/Pig sacrifice of Isthar” in Mystery Babylon.
Jesus Christ was created in the image of all
pagan gods which is the Trinity.
