CHAPTER 5

 

 

Fully God and Fully human

The doctrine of incarnation is the very foundation of Christianity and many other, if not most, pagan religions dating back to Babylon where it originated.

For Christians, the incarnation shows that Jesus was fully God and fully human. It is an essential part of belief in the Trinity, and in many ways it forms the basis of Christianity” … The incarnation - God and authority in Christianity - GCSE Religious

As I have shown thus far, this doctrine came about 4 centuries after the Messiah died through Greek pagan philosophers and Hellenization.

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 pagan Roman world how Christians counted themselves monotheists, Christian apologists (notably Justin Martyr, d. 165) combined Johannine and Stoic-Platonic (both Johanne and Plato are Greek pagan philosophers) 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.

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.

This doctrine is made up of several “sound bites” of Scripture taken out of context and strung together to imply what is not sound doctrine. It is blasphemy and a clear violation of sound doctrinal Scripture. Below are a few of the out-of-context scriptural references strung together out of context to have us blaspheme our Creator:

1 Timothy 3:16

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into Glory.

 

Colossians 2:9

For in Christ all the Fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form.

 

Hebrews 2

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 God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.

By combining these verses which are mistranslated to begin with and taking them out of context it is taught Jesus if fully God and fully man while he walked the Earth.

In this section I will address each one of the above Scripture. We will look at them in context, line upon line, and discern the Righteous meaning, proper translation, and intent. I will demonstrate how poorly inspired the English Bibles truly are. We will examine how this doctrine that is so fundamental to Christianity was created.

Jesus embodied the fullness of deity - Colossians 2:9

Did Yahusha embody the fullness of deity? Yes. Do I embody the fullness of deity as Yahusha did? Yes. Is there any difference between us as sons of God… NO!

The next Scripture that Trinitarians love to quote out of context is how Yahusha embodies the fullness of God to somehow make the quantum leap that Yahusha was Yahuah in the flesh fully God and fully human.

I would like to point out; there is not one Scripture in the entire Bible that says "Yahuah came to earth in the flesh and became a man, by the name Jesus Christ". No not one. Not even one that comes close. Every Scripture Trinitarians point to... says nothing of the sort, nor do these verses apply exclusively to Yahusha but rather all the Children of Yahuah.

Because Yahusha embodied the fullness of deity, doesn't mean he is Yahuah or a god-man; it means he had been born-again and filled with the Spirit of Yahuah to the fullest measure. We read this in the Gospels where Yahusha was baptized and the Spirit of Yahuah descended upon him (the dove was a physical to spiritual metaphor). He was not “full of Deity” prior to that point, he had not yet been born-again through Mikveh. His flesh was full of sin (sinful flesh) and had to be purified first through Mikveh then he could be filled with The Spirit as a guarantee.

Below is the sound bite used by Christian Trinitarians:

Colossians 2:9
For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form.

Ok, let us now tell the whole story here. Yes, Yahusha did embody the fullness of deity in human form as he was the perfect human image of the invisible God AFTER he was Mikveh’d by John and walked The Way. I am not here to debate or deny that he ultimately was full of Deity. Yahusha fulfilled the prophecy in Isaiah:

Isaiah 42:1
"Here is my servant (proxy), whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him (we read this when the ‘dove’ descended on him), and he will bring justice to the nations.

What I am here to do is to show that in the same exact way, we too have the potential to achieve the fullness of deity in the exact same way… The Way:

Ephesians 3:19
19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled (in bodily form) to the measure of all the fullness of God (which is the Spirit of Yahuah).

So, the same writer in the NT that said Yahusha embodied the fullness of deity also said that the unbelievable knowledge of the love of Yahuah is that WE TOO can be filled with the full measure of deity. Does that make us part of the Godhead? Are we “Gods came to Earth in the flesh”? Do we then become fully God and fully man too? Are we Yahuah just in another form and name?

Now, I do not take anything out of context so let me do what Trinitarians do not and explain in context. I want to be sure that I make my position clear on this. After Resurrection, Yahusha is completely deity (elohim) and in no way is he now human. Yahusha is the literal son of Yahuah (a god) but he still is not Yahuah. Yahuah too is Elohim (God). Elohim is a designation of "God" as opposed to human. Yahusha and Yahuah are the personal names referring to the individual deities (post Resurrection) as family members of Elohim, Father and now Son (of many more sons of the Resurrection to come). But while on earth before Resurrection Yahusha was, as are we, "elohim potentials" and 100% human or “fully human in every way” Hebrews 2:5-18. We are filled with the Spirit of Yahuah as a guarantee that we will be begotten (resurrected) fully into the family of Yahuah as elohim (gods).

Here is my point. The verse in Colossians 2:9 is saying that (for the first time in history) a human man has been perfected and Yahuah filled that man with the fullest measure of His Spirit:

Hebrews 5:8-9
8 though Yahusha was a Son, yet he learned obedience (to Yahuah) by the things which he suffered. 9 And having been perfected, Yahusha became the author (father) of everlasting life (i.e., Everlasting Father
Isaiah 9:6) to all who obey Him (Yahuah), and the total fullness of the Spirit of Yahuah dwelt in his body.

Therefore all the sons of God are "destined" to be conformed to the image of Yahusha. We too are being filled with the Spirit of Yahuah striving to achieve that same exact perfection as the Messiah by following his Righteous example.

1 Peter 2

To this you were called, because Yahusha suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

Sha’ul clearly points this very concept out in Ephesians on several occasions. First, let us look at chapter 1 verses 18-23. Sha’ul is praying that ALL SONS of Yahuah come to know the same strength and Power of Yahuah that existed in Yahusha. In verses 22 and 23 Sha’ul brings this important revelation out by clearly stating that "we" (the Children of Yahuah) are the body of the Messiah. And we, as this body, are the "fullness of Him (Yahuah) who fills everything” i.e., the fullness of deity in bodily form:

Ephesians 1:18-23
18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which Yahuah has called you, the riches of Yahuah’s glorious inheritance in His holy people, 19 and Yahuah’s incomparably great Power for us who believe. That Power is the same as the mighty strength 20 Yahuah exerted when He raised Yahusha from the dead and seated Yahusha at His right hand on the Throne in Heaven, 21 far above all rule and authority, Power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age of Pisces but also in the Age of Aquarius to come. 22 And Yahuah placed all things under Yahusha’s feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the assembly, 23 which (the assembly of believers) is Yahuah’s body (His Temple), (and the assembly of believers are) the fullness of Yahuah who fills everything in every way.

Now, again later in Chapter 3, Sha’ul again prays that we (the Children of Yahuah) are conformed to the same image of the Messiah and that we too achieve the fullness of Deity in bodily form...

Ephesians 3:19
19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Yahusha was not Yahuah in the flesh, nor was he half man half god. He was the human messiah who was the first to be filled to the fullness of the measure of Yahuah through His Spirit. In doing so, Yahusha became the PERFECTED IMAGE (not Yahuah, but the "image" of Yahuah) in human form while on earth.

Hebrews 5:8-9
8 though He was a Son, yet He learned Obedience (to Yahuah) by the things which He suffered (process of Sanctification John 17:19). 9 And having been perfected (he was not born that way, he was born ‘sarki’ in the flesh prone to sin and opposed to Yahuah), He became the Author of Eternal Salvation to all who obey him (by walking The Way by example that we are to follow in covenant 1 John 2:6)

All men are created in the image of God, but Yahusha was the PERFECT human image of the INVISIBLE God… and we too are to be conformed to that perfect image by walking The Way:

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), 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 Firstfruits) of every (eternal) creature.

 

Genesis 1:27
So Yahuah created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them.

We see below that Yahusha considered it robbing Yahuah of His Glory to even imply that Yahusha was equal to Yahuah. Yahusha could not even conceive of such a concept:

Philippians 2:5-6
5 Let this mind (Spirit of Holiness) be in you, which was also in Messiah Yahusha: 6 who, being in the form (Spiritual Image or human proxy) of Yahuah (NOT Yahuah Himself), thought it not (nothing short of) robbery to be equal with Yahuah?

In the Scripture above it is stated as a rhetorical question as Yahusha thought equality with Yahuah was nothing short of robbing Yahuah of His Glory. Here is another translation of this same verse:

Philippians 2:5-6 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
5 Have this attitude in yourselves, which was also in Messiah Yahusha, 6 who, although he existed in the form (image) of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,

We must be very careful with the Hellenized (paganized) mistranslated version of our modern Bibles. Some translations read as follows:

Philippians 2:5-6 New King James Version (NKJV)
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Yahusha the Messiah, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,

The above translation is a mistranslation of that verse. The glory of Yahusha is that he reflects the glory of Yahuah as his proxy or image and, as an image or reflection, the glory of Yahuah shines off Yahusha on to us.

2 Corinthians 4:4
4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Messiah, who is the image of Yahuah, should shine on them.

An image is not the actual subject. It is a likeness of, a picture of, something that stands in place of... Yahusha was Yahuah's human proxy, the human image of the invisible immortal Yahuah. Yahusha was not invisible or immortal… he died, and everyone saw it. Yahusha was the first to be perfected in Holiness (in accordance with obedience to Yahuah's will). He is THE TRUE WAY, the example that we are to follow as we, too, keep Yahuah's will, commandments, and appointed times/feasts/solemn assemblies. Yahuah gave us instructions on how to be His sons. Yahusha lived those instructions, and we are to follow that example.

In the process we too are to be filled with all the fullness of deity! But that does not make us Yahuah or part of any pagan Trinity; it makes us Children of Yahuah and perfect images of our Father… as we are conformed to the image of his Firstborn-again risen son.

 


 

Jesus is “God manifested in the flesh” … 1 Timothy 3:16

People bring to me verses of Scripture that seem to either directly say, or imply, that Yahuah is Yahusha, or that Yahusha pre-existed, or that Yahusha was a demi-god fully man while at the same time fully human (an impossible contradiction). A brother asked me “Does 1 Timothy 3:16 show that Yahuah was manifest in the flesh?”

No., when properly understood and rendered in context, it says the exact opposite! The Lying Pen of the Scribe Strikes Again (and again, and again, and a...)

1 Timothy 3:16 - King James Bible

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into Glory.

Not so fast! Yahuah’s Word, the Plan of Salvation, and Yahuah Himself has been hidden in plain sight and His Word sealed. One of those “seals” is what I call The Lying Pen of the Scribe.

Jeremiah 8:8

"'How can you say, "We are wise because we have the Word of Yahuah," when your teachers/scribes have twisted it by writing lies?

The King James Bible intentionally twisted this verse to write into the Bible the doctrine of Incarnation/Trinity, a doctrine of demons called The Spirit of the False Messiah. Did Sha’ul say “God was manifest in the flesh”? Let us look and see what the Greek says.

We see above, King James took the liberty of adding “God” into the verse above, instead of “he” speaking of Yahusha. It literally says “he who was revealed in the flesh” not “God was revealed in the flesh”.  A little “sleight of hand” twisting this verse.  The “he” in question is Yahusha not Yahuah…

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 (NOT Yahuah) has come in the flesh (g4561 ‘sarki’ - "human generation (conception) only, outside of any Divine influence (or seed), opposed to Yahuah and prone to sin) is from Yahuah; 3 and every spirit that does not confess Yahusha has come in the flesh (100% human being not ‘God in the flesh’ but says Yahusha is Yahuah incarnate) is not from Yahuah; this is the Spirit of the Antichrist (The False Messiah is an image of a man worshipped above Yahuah or equal to Yahuah as ‘God incarnate’ see Romans 1) …12 No one has seen Yahuah at any time (because Yahuah IS NOT Yahusha and did not “come in the flesh”)!

This verse in no way says, or even implies, that Yahusha was a God or God in the flesh! We see almost every translation has corrected this twisted verse. Every other translation properly rendered this verse "he" as in Yahusha, NOT "God".

So, let us look a little deeper, shall we?

What 1 Timothy 3:16 say is, “Yahusha was revealed in the flesh”. The phrase “in the flesh” means... “natural/physical origin (not Spiritual), born of natural origin ONLY, mere human/natural birth only... APART FROM DIVINE INFLUENCE” ... The word translated “flesh” is g4561.

So, Yahusha “came in the flesh” and was not a demi-god or “God in the flesh”! He was created human of natural origin, to two human parents outside of any “Divine seed” or even “Divine influence” ...

The word translated “godliness” simply expresses a MAN who is Righteous before Yahuah, it is g2653, ‘chasid’. It does not in any way point to “Yahuah” or even a pre-existing demi-god. Godliness speaks of a kind, loving, gracious human being!

Rightly Dividing the Word of Righteousness

With the understanding of what these words mean, let us correctly render 1 Timothy 3:16, in its full expression and meaning “in context,” as I like to do:

1 Timothy 3:16

Great indeed, we confess, is the Mystery of the Righteous, Kind, Loving man (g2623 ‘chasid’) Yahusha the Messiah: who was born human of natural origin outside of Divine influence (g4561 ‘sarki’), vindicated by the Set Apart Ruach as the Son of Yahuah upon his Mikveh (Matthew 3:17), seen by Angels who rejoiced when he repented (Luke 15:10) and was forgiven by Yahuah (Zechariah 3:3), Proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up (Resurrected) in Glory (as Yahuah Honored the Plan of Salvation where he had Glory with Yahuah before the world was Created in the Plan of Salvation written in the stars).

What we have in 1 Timothy 3:16, is truly the “secret of Holiness” and the progression by which The Messiah was created/made manifest, perfected, then risen Divine.

Hebrews 5:8-9
8 though he was a Son, yet he learned Obedience (to Yahuah) by the things (discipline) which he suffered (for disobedience). 9 And having been perfected (through discipline and suffering), He became (was not born that way) the Author of Eternal Salvation to all who obey him (and follow his Righteous example).

Yahusha was a manifested/created/born HUMAN as the fulfillment of the Dabar/word (Predestined Plan of Salvation written in The Heavenly Scroll), then he was BORN AGAIN upon his Mikveh, the Angels Witnessed Yahusha’s rebirth and rejoiced in Heaven as he was forgiven and fulfilled The Law. Then Yahusha was filled with the Ruach and at that time embodied the fullness of Deity in his body. He was then preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and then Resurrected in fulfillment of The Plan of Salvation which was Promised in The Heavenly Scroll. Yahuah had given Yahusha “Glory” in The Heavenly Scroll that he would defeat death, and reign as proxy King and be seated at the Right Hand of Yahuah our Father.

CAPRICORNUS: Eternal life comes from his death, he’s the Arrow of Yahuah, he is pierced, yet springs up again in abundant life.

 

LEO: The Lion King is aroused for rending, the Serpent flees, the Bowl of Wrath is upon him, his Carcass is devoured. The Lion of the tribe of Judah rules as King.

This is the exact same progression Sha’ul taught in Romans:

Romans 1

2 concerning Yahusha, which Yahuah Promised beforehand through His Prophets in the Holy Scriptures (both The Heavenly and Earthly Scrolls, he did not pre-exist), 3 concerning His Son, who was born of a Descendant of David (through both parents) according to the flesh (human origin only outside of Divine intervention), 4 who was Declared (Divine) the Son of Yahuah with Power by the Resurrection from the dead, according to the Spirit of Holiness (Yahuah’s Spiritual Seed), Yahusha the Messiah.

It is interesting to note the very next verse after 1 Timothy 3:16:

1 Timothy 4:1

The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the Faith (that Yahusha came in the flesh outside of any Divine influence) and follow deceiving spirits (Incarnation, the Spirit of the False Messiah, 1 John 4:1-3; 12) and things taught by demons.

This is a serious matter! We all have been misled for 1,700 years by the False Religion and continue to be misled today by false teachers and twisted translations!
