Logos... or Debar?
The pagan philosophy of Incarnation!
Incarnation is a denial of The Nazarene
and Testimony that he is the Son of Yahuah: Water, Blood, and Spirit. It is
blasphemy and it is a pagan doctrine born in Babylon, transferred to all
cultures at the Tower of Babel, then became the religion of Rome when Rome
conquered Babylon. Then it was incorporated into a new religion called Christianity
at the Council of Nicaea by a pagan sun worshipping Emperor named Constantine.
For proof that Christianity is nothing more than a
repackaged version of Mystery Babylon, read my book, Christianity and the
Great Deception, and learn where Christianity came from, who created it,
what they believed, and how it conquered the human race.
In this chapter, I am going to prove that Incarnation is the
denial of The Way of the Nazarene (Water, Blood, and Spirit) and in fact
blasphemy against the Creator!
Incarnation
is a belief system that was passed down to us from generation to generation
originating in Babylon. Tammuz, the first “Christ”, is the basic foundation of
all future demigods as the religion of Babylon was spread at the Tower of
Babel. All future demi-gods and pagan religions were just Mystery Babylon in a
new language and culture under different names, all based on The Spirit of the
False Messiah… “God came in the flesh”. Tammuz was “The LORD god Ba’al” in the Flesh.
“The LORD” being a title for the Sun God Ba’al. Ba’al was said to have “come
over” Semaramis (Ishtar) and she became pregnant by the “Spirit of
Ba’al/Rays of the Sun” and gave a Virgin Birth to the demi-god... TAMMUZ who
was the physical incarnation of Ba'al. Both Ba'al (Nimrod) and Tammuz
married the same bride. The Trinity is born, and so too, the Doctrine of
“Incarnation”.
This is identical to
what is taught today in every religion from Christianity to the Hebrew Roots
movement.
Yahuah had to come in the flesh as
Yahusha, die to release Him from The Law, so He could then remarry (as the Son)
the same Bride. The Father is the Son, the Son the Father, and both married to
the same Bride!
One of the, if not ‘THE’…most damaging false teachings, is
based on the concept of Logos. That the “Word” is the ‘manifestation’ of
Yahuah, a “lesser Yahuah” if you will, that existed in all Eternity with
Yahuah, as part of a Godhead. Yahusha was the manifested Word of Yahuah
that came down from heaven and became flesh.
Was The Nazarene a “Living Torah” and the manifestation of
Yahuah on Earth, the Logos? Or was The Nazarene, Yahusha, the Fulfillment of
the Plan of Salvation Promised in The Heavenly Scroll which is the “Word
written into the stars at Creation”, the Fulfillment of all the Prophets who
foretold of his coming (based on The Heavenly Scroll).
Incarnation is a belief system that was passed down to us
from generation to generation originating in Babylon. Tammuz, the first “Christ,”
is the basic foundation of all future demigods as the religion of Babylon was
spread at the Tower of Babel. Tammuz was The LORD in the Flesh. “The LORD”
being a title for the Sun God Ba’al. Ba’al was said to have “come over”
Semaramis (Ishtar) and she became pregnant by the “Spirit of Ba’al Rays of the
Sun” and gave a Virgin Birth to the demi-god... TAMMUZ who was the physical
incarnation of Ba'al. Both Ba'al and Tammuz married the same bride. The Trinity
is born, and so too, the doctrine of “Incarnation”. We are talking a salvational
issue that is why the enemy has twisted the "Word".

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.
We read a warning in Scripture, that at the time of the end,
when Yahuah is calling out a remnant from among the Nations, we will then
realize everything we thought to be true, is a pagan lie!
Jeremiah 16:19
Yahuah, my Strength and my Fortress, my Refuge in time of distress, to you the
nations will come from the ends of the Earth and say, "Our ancestors
possessed nothing but false gods, worthless idols that did them no good.
The Creator warned us of this beforehand, but we did not
heed His warning and we all have been misled to believe a lie.
Jeremiah 8
7 My People do not know The Word of Yahuah.
8 "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 His Word into a lie. 9 "The
wise men are put to shame, They are dismayed and caught; Behold, they have rejected
the Word of Yahuah, And what kind of wisdom do they have?
1 John 4:1-3; 12
Nowhere, is this more prominent than in the doctrine of
Incarnation (pre-existence/Trinity, etc.). Even after warning us over
and over, Yahuah still warns us we will fall for a “false spirit” that
blasphemes His Spirit. It is called “The Spirit of the Antichrist”. We are not
able to discern this lying spirit ourselves, so we are given a very specific
test; whereby we can determine which Spirit we have. His Ruach? Or a spirit of
deception?
That “test” is Incarnation. Any Spirit that proclaims that
the Messiah came into being “according to the flesh” (which means by a human
mother AND father) ... THAT is His Ruach speaking. Any “spirit” that
denies this, and teaches Incarnation or The Trinity or Bi-Entity or “God in the
flesh” and so forth... that is the opposing spirit of the False Messiah.
This false “Ruach” is so deceiving, that we cannot discern it on our own. So
Yahuah gave us a “test” and Commanded we put any Spirit we think is The Ruach
speaking… to this test.
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 (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 (or False
Messiah. The False Messiah is an image of a man worshipped above Yahuah or
equal to Yahuah as ‘God incarnate’) …12 No one has seen Yahuah at any
time (because Yahuah IS NOT Yahusha)!
Colossians 1:15
The Son is the (human)
image (or proxy) of the invisible Yahuah,
the Firstborn (of the Resurrection) over all Eternal
Creation (he is the Firstborn of the dead, he did NOT
pre-exist).
Yahusha was not Eternal or Divine at his human birth! Nor
did he exist before his human birth. He was born “according to the flesh” then
risen Divine “according to the Spirit”.
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 (through human conception only, outside of any Divine
influence, opposed to Yahuah and prone to sin g4561 ‘sarki’ -),
4 who was Declared (Divine) the Son of Yahuah
with Power by the Resurrection from the dead (NOT his
human birth), according to the Spirit of Holiness (Yahuah’s Spiritual Seed), Yahusha the Messiah
Colossians 1:18
18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning (of the Resurrection and the end as we all are Resurrected in
the Covenant that bears his name from the first
to the last) and Firstborn from among the dead (not
his human birth nor at creation), so that in all things (in the Family of Yahuah) he may have preeminence (Superior Authority as King; he is “before Abraham” in Resurrected
birth order "before Abraham was born, I am foremost and foretold in the
Plan of Salvation, and have Superior Authority over Moses").
Revelation 1:5
Yahusha the Messiah, who is the Faithful
Witness (Emmanuel), the Firstborn from the
dead, and the Ruler (pre-eminence) of the
Kings of the Earth.
As I have said many
times… Every pagan demi-god, dating back to Babylon, where Ishtar formulated
the doctrine of Incarnation, is based on the Spirit of the False Messiah. Every
demi-god is “God in the flesh”. ONLY Yahusha denied that blasphemy.
The “Incarnated” demi-god “Jesus” is the False Messiah.
Yahusha is the Firstborn Son of the Resurrection, the Eternal High Priest
before Yahuah who mediates the Covenant of Peace. The Fulfillment of The
Heavenly Scroll and Prophets
I am going to challenge this long held belief, and prove
that the concept that Yahuah was the ‘Logos’ manifested in the flesh, is not a
Hebrew belief, rather it was incorporated into the faith by the Greeks and
based on Greek Philosophy not Scripture. I will show that the Scriptures were
literally altered to be agreeable with Greek Paganism in this most vital
aspect. In the process, we have blasphemed The Holy Spirit, the Set Apart Ruach
which declares that Yahuah is Immortal, Invisible, and Spirit; not a
visible man who died! I will also prove that this false doctrine of ‘Logos’,
makes our Father out to be a liar, and in fact, the very definition of
the false spirit is called “The Spirit of the False Messiah”!
We see Sha’ul clearly warn us that what will
define the False Messiah is that he will be elevated in our hearts as “God in the
flesh” and it is the Spirit of the False Messiah that will conquer those who
are deceived.
2 Thessalonians
2 - The Man of Lawlessness and
the Spirit behind him…
2 Concerning the coming of our King Yahusha the Messiah and our being
gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily
unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or
by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of Yahuah has already
come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come
until the rebellion (against Yahuah’s Spirit)
occurs and the man of lawlessness [who we worship as
God incarnate] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will
oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is
worshiped, so that he sets himself up in Yahuah’s temple (our hearts), proclaiming himself to be God Incarnate.
5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things?
6 And now you know what is holding him back (Michael the
restrainer of such evil), so that he may be revealed at the proper time
(of the end… that is NOW). 7 For the secret
power of lawlessness (denying the most fundamental Law
that Yahuah is the one and only God, The Greatest Commandment) is
already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till
he is taken out of the way (Daniel 12:1 and Revelation 12). 8 And then the
lawless one will be revealed (to be a FALSE
God/Messiah), whom the King Yahusha will overthrow with the breath of
his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming (as
he fulfills Leo in The Heavenly Scroll Revelation Chapter 5).
9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works (he will be filled with The Spirit of the Dragon… Incarnation).
He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve
the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing.
They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved (salvation is in the declaration that Yahuah is the ONE and
ONLY God John 17:3). 11 For this reason (calling Yahuah a liar Numbers 23:19)
Yahuah sends them a powerful delusion (Incarnation)
so that they will believe the lie (that the Messiah is
“God Incarnate”) 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not
believed the truth (that Yahuah is immortal,
invisible, Spirit) but have delighted in wickedness (saying Yahuah came to Earth and died).
The fact that Yahusha died is 100% proof that
he was not yet a full son of Yahuah.
Luke 20:36
36 In fact, they (fully begotten sons of
Yahuah) can no longer die, because they are (eternal)
like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection (when eternal life is granted), they (post resurrection) are (fully
begotten) sons of God.
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 (outside of any divine influence ‘sarki’), 4 who was
declared (Divine) the (first
fully begotten) Son of Yahuah with power by the resurrection from the
dead, according to the Spirit of holiness (Yahuah’s
Spiritual Seed), Yahusha the Messiah, …
The “incarnated” demi-god “Jesus” is THE False
Messiah. Yahusha is the firstborn son of the resurrection, the eternal High
Priest before Yahuah who mediates The Covenant of Peace. The fulfillment of The
Heavenly Scroll and Prophets.
I have produced a 2-hour video proving that
Jesus Christ is the prophesied “antichrist” in Scripture. You can watch that
video on my YouTube page here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVLZgChmeSa78Mo7b228sjQ or you can find it on my website www.sabbathcovenant.com.
Anyone who teaches “Divine Logos” is NOT in Covenant with
Yahusha and does not have The Ruach! We are to disassociate ourselves
with such teachers, as they have blasphemed Yahuah! They are “antichrist
deceivers” …
2 John 7 - Beware of
Antichrist Deceiver
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the
world who do not confess Yahusha the Messiah as coming in the flesh (but rather confess Yahusha is the Incarnation of Yahuah in
the flesh, a demi-god born outside of natural human generation by Divine
Influence). This (Incarnation) is a
deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those
things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. 9 Whoever
transgresses (The Spirit of Yahuah) and does
not abide in the doctrine of the Messiah (that he was
‘born according to the flesh’ by human gestation only, outside of any Divine Influence
or seed) does not have (the Spirit of)
Yahuah. He who abides in the doctrine of the Messiah (that
he came into being in the flesh, by human means only outside of any Divine
Influence) has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you
and does not bring this doctrine (but teaches that “YAHUAH
came in the flesh,” which is blasphemy. Yahuah is Immortal and ‘cannot die’,
He is invisible Spirit NOT mortal flesh), do not receive him into
your house nor greet him; 11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds (blaspheming the Holy Spirit).
The doctrine of Incarnation violates explicit Scripture by
taking Scripture out of context to build a “doctrine of man” through
implication that is literally “Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit!”.
Sha’ul warns us not to elevate the “image of a man who died
(Yahusha was a man and he died)” in our hearts above Yahuah as God and
teach “unrighteousness as truth” or “that The Law is abolished is true”. Those
who replace Yahuah with “a man who died” in their hearts will be given over to
a depraved mind. That depraved mind is The Spirit of Error - Yahuah will not
permit them to have any Spiritual understanding whatsoever and they will be
filled with unrighteousness (abolish His Law in their hearts):
Romans 1 – Do not worship a man who
died
“18 The wrath of Yahuah is being revealed from (the)
heaven(ly scroll) against all the godlessness
and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth (of
the One and Only Elohim, Yahuah, John 17:3) by their
wickedness (denying Yahuah’s Immortality claiming He
came to Earth and died!), 19 since what may be known about Yahuah (that He is Invisible, Col. 1:15 and John
1:18 and 1 John 4:12 and Hebrews 11:27 and 1
Timothy 6:16 and Ex. 33:20 and Job 9:11 and
1 Timothy 1:17 and Romans 1:20 and not a man, Numbers
23:19 and Hosea 11:9) is plain to them, because Yahuah
has made it plain to them (through Creation, The
Heavenly Scroll, and His Word). 20 For since the creation of the world Yahuah’s
Invisible qualities—his Eternal Power and Divine
Nature (immortality)—have been clearly seen,
being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. 21
For although they knew Yahuah, they neither Glorified Him as the Invisible,
Immortal Elohim nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became
futile (believing in Incarnation) and their
foolish hearts were darkened (by Yahuah so they
could not “see the Truth” in Scripture). 22 Although they claimed to
be wise (Hebrew Roots Teachers, Christian Pastors,
etc.), they became fools 23 and exchanged the Glory of the Immortal
Elohim for images made to look like a man who died!” (they were full of The Spirit of the False Messiah and
idolized the Messiah who died, and blasphemed the Creator) … 28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile
to retain the Knowledge of Yahuah (that He is
IMMMORTAL and INVISIBLE and SPIRIT), so Yahuah gave them over to a
depraved mind (they do not understand the Scriptures),
so that they do what ought not to be done (blaspheme
the Holy Spirit (Ruach) which declares Yahuah is an Immortal Invisible Spirit
NOT a mortal man who died).”
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. Yahuah,
however, ‘declares’ that He is NOT a man, He is NOT ‘the son of man’,
He is IMMORTAL and INVISIBLE SPIRIT that cannot be contained in the human form
OR tempted by evil.
Yahuah did NOT LIE, and violate His own double vow by coming
to Earth as a mortal man who died. We see below that Yahuah expressed a DOUBLE
VOW... saying
Numbers 23:19
Yahuah is not a man (Yahusha
was fully human, Hebrews 2:17, came in the flesh NOT God in the flesh,
that he should LIE (and break His Vows);
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).
Does HE speak and then not act (Vow #1)?
Does HE Promise and not Fulfill (Vow #2)?
If Yahuah beaks this double vow, He cannot be trusted
to Fulfill anything! The claim that Yahuah came to Earth as a man, is
calling Yahuah a liar!
1 John 5:10
9 Even if we accept human testimony (or traditions of men… that Yahuah is Yahusha the Incarnated
demi-god), the Testimony of Yahuah is greater. For this is the Testimony
that Yahuah has given about His Son (Water/born human,
Blood/Melchizedek, and Spirit/Declared Divine by the Resurrection). 10
Whoever believes that Yahusha is the SON of Yahuah (not
‘Yahuah in the flesh’! Yahusha is the son through Resurrection, Romans 1:2-4) has this Testimony within him (that Yahusha came into being in the flesh/human in every way);
whoever does NOT believe Yahuah (that He is not a man,
nor the son of man) has made HIM out to be a LIAR (Who broke His Vow in Numbers 23:19), because he has
not believed in the Testimony Yahuah has given about His Son (that Yahusha was born human Begotten Divine through Resurrection).
11 And this is that Testimony: Yahuah has given us Eternal Life, and this life
is in His Son (John 17:3)!
You see, Yahusha gave us the Testimony that leads to Eternal
Life. It is not “Yahuah is Yahusha” or “Yahusha came down from heaven as a
demi-god” as we are taught! It is the total denial of that (Incarnated
blasphemy):
John 17:3 3
Now this is (the
Testimony that leads to) Eternal Life: that they know You (Yahuah), the only true God, and (come to You through) Yahusha who is the Messiah, whom
You have sent (in Fulfillment of Your Promises as
foretold through the Prophets to be the Mediator).
1 Timothy 2:5
For there is One God (Yahuah) and one mediator between Yahuah and mankind, the
man (not God) Yahusha the Messiah
So Yahuah Spoke... He was not a man, not a liar who breaks
His vows, nor the son of man, and has no need to repent. He made a DOUBLE
VOW (above) twice DECLARING “does He not speak it (Promised never to come
to Earth as a man) and not act” and then “does He Promise not to come to Earth
as a man then not fulfill it by doing just that via INCARNATION”?
Never, would Yahuah break His Vows and come to Earth as "God in the
flesh". Ever. That would mean He is NOT Invisible, NOT Immortal, and a
LIAR. Remember, Yahusha claimed to be a human being 87 times (the son of MAN)
and went to Yahchanan to be Mikveh’d for "remission of sin"... there
is NO CHANCE that Yahuah is Yahusha. NONE. That is a pagan philosophy!
Many times, the Scriptures clearly tell us that Yahusha (not
Yahuah) came or was born or was revealed “in the flesh”. 1
Timothy 3:16 says this, “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, prone to sin and opposed to Yahuah”. This is the condition all human
beings are born into as we all were born, came, revealed “in the flesh”. The
word translated “flesh” is the Greek word ‘sarki’ below:
g4561 ‘sarki’ - Thayer:
2a) the body of a man 2b) used of natural or physical origin, generation or
relationship 2b1) born of natural generation 4) the flesh, denotes mere human
nature, the Earthly nature of man apart from Divine influence, and therefore prone
to sin and opposed to God”
As I proved earlier in this book, the true Nazarenes of the
first century AD (who either knew Yahusha personally or followed those who
did) rejected the Virgin Birth as pagan, and all attempts to deify the
Messiah while he was a man. They knew he was born to two parents (that is
why Yahusha taught his lineage from both Joseph and Miriam) and that
Yahusha was adopted by Yahuah upon his Mikveh, then begotten upon resurrection
as Elohim and granted eternal life as I have shown.
The doctrine of “Incarnation” hinges on the
Greek Philosophy behind the Greek word “Logos” as taught by the Greek
philosophers Plato and Johanne. The “Christian Church” rose up out of the
confines of Hellenistic Rome and adopted these pagan ideas! Then the Greeks
translated the Scriptures under the inspiration of “The Spirit of the False
Messiah”.
We even see a stern warning by those who
followed Yahusha in the first century, that the truth was being twisted by the
Greeks into a pagan 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 (philosophy) of this world? 21 For
since, in the Wisdom of Yahuah, the world (the Roman
Empire) through wisdom (philosophy) 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 Yahuah in (the Covenant of) Peace (The
Yahushaic Covenant), without spot and blameless (giving your life as a living sacrificial Passover Lamb); 15 and
consider that the longsuffering of our King is Salvation—as also our beloved brother
Sha’ul, 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 (Greeks) twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest
of the Scriptures.
We see, in historical records, Hellenism
conquered the known world, and both Christianity and Judaism of today are
products of pagan Hellenism! We say 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.
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 – “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.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellenization
Hellenization - “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.”
‘Logos’ - a pagan philosophy developed in the 4th
Century! Not in The Torah/Prophets
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, 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 (except The Book of Yahweh)
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. First a quick note on
the use of "sound bites" to create doctrine.
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.
The Encyclopedia Judaica, Volume 5, page 509,
tells us that there is NO VALID REASON FOR DOUBTING the HISTORICAL REALITY of
Yahusha.
"JESUS AND HIS FIRST
DISCIPLES. As has been indicated before, the teaching and activity of Jesus
cannot be properly described under the heading "Christianity." There
is no valid reason for doubting his historical reality or assuming him to be a purely
mythical figure."
There is, however, great reason to doubt what the
Christians say about Him. As we have read and proven so far, paganism, not
The Laws of Yahuah, is the driving force of Christianity. The
Encyclopedia Judaica, Volume 5, page 511, admits this fact.
"With its spread among the
gentiles, the pagan characteristics of Christianity gained in influence, and
after Constantine the Great and the adoption of Christianity as the official
religion of the Roman Empire, the traditional Hellenistic-pagan forms of civic,
social, and cultural anti-Semitism (see *Apion) merged with the specifically
Christian theological motifs to form an amalgam that has left a tragic legacy
to history."
In this tragic legacy to history left by Christianity, the
most tragic has been the twisting of the Holy Scriptures to fit pagan
doctrines, beliefs and philosophy; rather than allowing them to fit Yahuah's
Laws and Prophets, the way they were originally written. The Encyclopedia
Judaica, Volume 10, page 10, acknowledges that this is exactly what the
church has done.
"Both of the chief sources
of the Synoptic Gospels, the old account, and the collection of Jesus' sayings,
were produced in the primitive Christian congregation in Jerusalem, and were
translated into Greek from Aramaic or Hebrew. They contained the picture of
Jesus as seen by the disciples who knew him. The present Gospels are redactions
of these two sources, which were often changed as a result of ecclesiastical
tendentiousness."
Most shocking of all, the Roman Catholic Church herself
admits to the forgery of the Holy Scriptures. The Catholic Encyclopedia,
Volume 6, page 136, gives us this admission.
"Substitution of false
documents and tampering with genuine ones was quite a trade in the Middle Ages.
Innocent III (1198) points out nine species of forgery [of ecclesiastical
records] which had come under his notice. But such frauds of the Church were
not confined to the Middle Ages; they begin even with the beginning of the
Church and infest every period of its history for fifteen hundred years and
defile nearly every document, both of "Scriptures" and of Church
aggrandizement. As truly said by Collins, in his celebrated Discourse of Free
Thinking: "In Short, these frauds are very common in all books which are
published by priests or priestly men... For it is certain they may plead the
authority of the Fathers for Forgery, Corruption and mangling of Authors, with
more reason than for any of their Articles of Faith.."(p.96.)"
So by forging, altering, and changing the Holy Scriptures,
including the inspired record of Yahusha's teachings, Christianity has brought
forth a pagan God-savior and a way of life in complete opposition to Yahuah's
Laws. One of the greatest pagan deceptions ever passed off to this world as
truth by the Roman Catholic Church is that of a pre-existent God-savior
who is part of a trinity of Gods. This ‘very idea’ is pagan in
origin. We will now see how the Christians twisted The Holy Scriptures
to get away with it.

The Encyclopedia Judaica, Volume 12, page 1061,
agrees that the original versions of Volume Two of the Holy Scriptures did not
teach a pre-existent God-savior.
"The spirit of Judaism is
discernible even in the compositions originally written in this popular Greek.
The New Testament is still far removed from the absolute deification of Jesus,
and even more so from the LATER idea of the Trinity."
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.
As you can see, the entire doctrine of Incarnation that led
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.
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.
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.
First, the Word of Yahuah is an “it” not a “he”. That is a
very ‘clever’ way to deceive through picking a personal pronoun instead of just
a common pronoun.
The word translated as ‘word’ in these verses comes
from the Greek word ‘logos’. The Christians, so eager to promote the pagan
Trinity, 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 work ‘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’ to begin with!
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 Nicaea. 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.
John wrote under inspiration of Yahuah, not of a
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.
It is from the pagan MYSTERY religions that the Greek
philosophers developed the idea of Logos. Incarnation is the “Mystery” in
Mystery Babylon!
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 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.

Testament, by Julius Furst, page 312

a) command,
precept, law

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 , Volume 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);
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. Correcting the mistranslations, using the correct
pronoun ‘it’ as ‘debar’ is not a ‘he’,,, and so forth.
John 1
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), and that life was the Light
(revelation) to mankind (as the Sun was created on Day 4 in The Heavenly Scroll to be
a metaphor of the coming Branch/Nazarene Psalm 19). 5 Now
(on prophetic Day 4 or 4,000th year)
that Light (revealed Plan to send a human Messiah)
shines in the darkness (has been Fulfilled with the
birth of Yahusha), but the darkness does not take hold of it. 6 There
was a man sent from Yahuah whose name was John. (John was ‘sent’ by Yahuah exactly like Yahusha was, not from ‘heaven’ but
according to Yahuah’s Plan. John was prophesied by the Prophets too, as the
Elijah, does not make John ‘Yahuah in the flesh’!). 7 John 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 John himself was not the light (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 (Spiritual) Light (reveals ‘The WAY’) to everyone (like the Sun gives physical light) was coming into
the world (as a man as prophesied in The Heavenly
Scroll and Prophets). 10 He (Yahusha)
was in the world (in the flesh), and though the
world was reconciled to Yahuah through (Covenant with) Yahusha, the world did
not recognize Yahusha. 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 (written in The Heavenly Scroll 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 (written in The Heavenly Scroll, Psalms 19… 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 testified concerning Yahusha. When
John 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 (that The Law is now ‘The Law of the Spirit that leads to life’) came
through Yahusha the Messiah. 18 No one has ever seen Yahuah
(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 Adoption, the two shall become One Family Father and Son) with the
Father, has made Yahuah’s Plan (to procreate a Family
through Adoption) known to us (who are also Predestined
as Children, Romans 8:29 and Ephesians 1:4)

For more on the meaning and proper translation of the Gospel of John,
please read my book The Testimony of Yahuchanon. The book is online at
www.ravshaul.com.
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 our brother not our God and it is no more
complicated than that. Yahuah is Yahusha’s “God and Father” just like Yahuah is
ours, we are all Family.
John 20
17“Do not cling to me, Yahusha said, “For I have not yet ascended to the
Father. But go and tell my Brothers, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your
Father, to my God and your God.’”
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 (who is a reflection not the source).
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 (I am the proxy or
messenger of Yahuah of The Yahushaic Covenant, the MEDIATOR, the 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 (through Adoption Covenant)
and we are One with Yahusha through a ‘Marriage Covenant’ (he is the
Bridegroom and we are his Bride). 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 (obviously not Yahuah,
but a proxy), they bear witness of me (that I
am the Messiah, NOT Yahuah). 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 (of Mikveh, Circumcision, and Offering which is ‘The Way’ through The Narrow Gate). 28 And I
give them (The Way to) Eternal Life (by example, John 13:15),
and they shall never perish (because The Way leads to
defeating death through Resurrection as Yahusha proved removing our fear of
death, Hebrews 2:14); neither shall anyone snatch them out
of my hand. 29 my Father, who has given them to me (in
Covenant), is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of
my Father’s hand. 30 I and my Father are One (Family
in Mind, Will, Purpose, and Spirit through Covenant of Adoption).”
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. A brother asked me today:
“Does 1 Timothy 3:16, Shows that God
manifest in the flesh?”
No. Actually, when properly understood and rendered in context,
it says the exact opposite!
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 actually says.
We see above, King James took the liberty of adding “God”
into the verse above, instead of “he” which is speaking of Yahusha. This verse
in no way says, or even implies, that he 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".
What 1 Timothy 3:16 actually 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!
With the understanding of what these words actually 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 Debar/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. 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 very interesting to note the very next verse:
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 very 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!
Now that I have demonstrated clearly that Yahusha was not
the pagan idea of ‘God manifested in the flesh” or Logos, I will let Scripture
interpret Scripture in this matter.
We read in Psalms 22, the fact that Yahusha
was created by Yahuah from his mother’s womb and not before that. Now, as if
that is not crystal clear enough, there will be those who simply will not
accept this clear Declaration of when Yahusha was created by Yahuah. We love to
cling to our ‘own’ understanding, even though it is a clear contradiction of
explicit Scripture. We will remake Yahuah in our own image (a man in
the image of Yahusha) no matter what! We have been doing this since Tammuz
in Babylon.
Yahusha was a human being, son of man, created in his
mother’s womb as all men are THEN Resurrected Divine! He was not a pre-existing
deity. Let’s take a deeper look into these two verses 9 & 10 in Psalms 22,
as we “meditate” on His Word and seek out even deeper meaning. Some
translations read:
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.
Let’s put a little more “context” around this obvious
Declaration (above) that Yahusha was literally created in his mother’s womb.
The word-for-word Hebrew translation of Psalms 22:9-10, from The
Interlinear Hebrew-English Old Testament, shows the word ‘from’ in these
Scriptures is Hebrew ‘mem’.
The Dictionary of Old Testament Words for English
Readers, says that the Hebrew letter, mem, is ‘prefixed to a
substantive, which denotes the preposition’. OK Sha’ul, we are not Hebrew
linguistic experts… put this in layman’s terms please…. Alright, let’s look at 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”.
Therefore, 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”. This
can only mean one thing: that before Yahusha was in His mother's womb,
Yahuah was not his Strength, Hope, or his “God”, because Yahusha did not yet
exist. He had no need of Strength, nor Hope, nor a God.
Yahuah was only Yahusha's Strength, Hope, and God, beginning
at, starting with, His mother's womb. That is the truth of Scripture concerning
when Yahusha’s existence began. There should be no debate, it is settled right
there in the Word of Yahuah, in explicit form.
Anyone who elevates the image of a man in their hearts as
God above Yahuah will be given over by Yahuah to believe a lie. The Spirit of
the False Messiah is anyone who denies that Yahusha was a mere man (came in
the flesh) beginning with, started at the time he was conceived in his
mother’s womb.
