Excerpt from The Yahushaic Covenant volume iii Melchizedek and the Passover Lamb Rav Sha'ul $9.99 on Kindle - $15.00 on paperback   Did Yahusha have need of sacrifices for sin by Rav Sha'ul   The question concerning Yahusha is this: was he literally YHVH of the Old Testament in the flesh, was he the second member of triune God, or was he a human High Priest filled completely with the fullness of the deity of God or filled with the Holy Spirit? The sticking point is the qualification to serve as Passover Lamb and take away the sins of the world. To be the Passover Lamb, Yahusha would have to be "spotless and without sin" for about a year as the Passover Lambs were yearlings. However, does that mean he must live a sinless life from birth and even be born somehow outside the seed of his father to avoid original sin? And if so, then if we are to believe that Adam passed sin down genetically; then Yahusha would have to be born outside of the seed of his father Yahseph and to be born sinless. This is why Yahseph is denied his rightful place as the biological father of Yahusha. This all leads to the "Doctrine of the Virgin Birth". But then, since he must have been born through the womb and seed of his mother then we have to deal with her because she was born through the seed of a man and genetically pre-disposed to sin as well and would have passed her father's sin to Yahusha genetically (if that were even true that sin is passed on genetically). This leads us to the "Doctrine of Original Sin". This then leads to the “Doctrine of Immaculate Conception” and the lies go on and on, one on top of the other to cover the previous lie which is all based on the false claim that “sin is passed on from the father through at birth”. The problem is, if Mary was immaculately conceived to avoid original sin so that she was “qualified” to give a “virgin birth”… what about her mother's fathers seed? Genetics is a difficult reality to escape; we’d have to come up with some far fetch “doctrine” to explain how Mary’s parents avoided original sin! If Adam passed sin down, then there is no way of escaping being born into sin no matter how many "fathers" you deny because every mother carries the blood of her father. You would have to come up with some doctrine like "Yahusha just showed up from Heaven on day" to avoid “sin” if it were true that sin is passed genetically! Humanity has gone down a very slippery slope because of the misconception that Yahusha had to be sin free from birth. This is funny to me because “sin” isn’t passed down genetically, DEATH is: Romans 5:12 "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned" So Christianity got into this “pickle” and came up with all these false doctrines to avoid sin being passed on to Yahusha when it was never sin passed through birth anyway! Death is passed on… even to Yahusha as he died. So maybe Yahseph was his biological father after all; because YHVH is Spirit not flesh and His seed (imparted at resurrection not human birth) can not die! Luke 20:36 36 for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. Yahusha was declared the son of God at his resurrection NOT human birth: Romans 1:3-4 3 concerning His Son Yahusha the Messiah our King, who was born of the seed of David (both Mary/Joseph) according to the flesh (i.e. born to both parents like everyone else... was a human hence he DIED as death is passed on to ALL MEN), 4 and declared to be the Son of YHWH (begotten) with power according to the Spirit of holiness (the life giving Rauch of YHVH or breath of God), by the resurrection from the dead. So, only men die not God, death (not sin) is passed on through the father so Yahseph’s seed was used in the miracle of giving a virgin a child. There is no way Yahusha was “the begotten son of God” at that point as they cannot die being sons of the resurrection not human birth. So while “all men have sinned” and die as a result (Yahusha included being a sin offering), sin, however, can be ERASED through Mikveh making the Messiah “without sin” at his execution and qualified as The Passover Lamb. He was a "yearling" because from his Mikveh to execution was 70 weeks. This is why the Apostle Paul listed the Mikveh of Yahusha as the fundamental teaching about Yahusha. Hebrews 6 1 Therefore let us move forward and mature in our understanding about the things concerning Yahusha, not laying again (having to relearn over and over) the basic teaching about Yahusha (everything mentioned next is talking “about Yahusha”): · Yahusha's foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death (referring to Yahusha’s Mikveh for repentance by John) · and of Yahusha's faith in YHVH (to wipe away his sin through Mikveh) · 2 instructions about cleansing rites (i.e. we must know Torah requirements concerning Mikveh) · and (Torah requirements) of washing and the laying on of hands (at Yahusha's Mikveh, the ritual to transfer priestly authority and pass the sins of the world on to Yahusha as The Passsover Lamb through the laying on of hands) · How Yahusha was resurrected from the dead by YHVH who heard his cries because of his piety in life (Hebrews 5:7) · and how Yahusha now reigns as eternal judge over the House of YHVH (Zechariah 3:7) 3 And YHVH will only permit us to move on to maturity once we lay this foundation firmly. Paul stressed Yahusha’s Mikveh in Hebrews 6:1 because YHVH had established that He would ritually cleanse the High Priest by Mikveh making the High Priest "spotless without blemish" and "without sin" in the eyes of YHVH. So if we would simply "believe" in the promises of YHVH (as did Yahusha) then no longer would Yahusha have to be born outside of his father's sinful seed (although the Doctrine of Original Sin is false, it is death not sin that is passed from Adam).   Yahusha would simply have to be Mikveh'd and consecrated a High Priest and his sin would be "taken away" by YHVH exactly as stated in Zachariah Chapter 3 concerning Yahusha's anointing as High Priest. Zechariah 3 Clean Garments for The High Priest, Yahusha 1 Then he showed me Yahusha the high priest standing before the angel of YHVH, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him. 2 YHVH (through His proxy The Angel before whom stood Yahusha and Satan) said to Satan, “YHVH rebuke you, Satan! YHVH, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?” 3 Now Yahusha was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. 4 The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.” Then YHVH said to Yahusha, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.” 5 Then I said, “Put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of YHVH stood by. 6 The angel of YHVH gave this charge to Yahusha: 7 “This is what YHVH Almighty says (again YHVH speaking through His proxy Angel): ‘If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here (Yahusha given a seat among the Court of the Almighty). 8 “‘Listen, High Priest Yahusha, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring (you) my servant, the Branch (Hebrew Notsri; English Nazarene i.e. Yahusha the Nazarene). 9 See, the stone I have set in front of Yahusha! There are seven eyes on that one stone, and I will engrave an inscription on it,’ says YHVH Almighty, ‘and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day. 10 “‘In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree,’ declares YHVH Almighty.” We covered all of this in chapters 3 and 4 of this book I just wanted to refresh our memories before I continue. Now, from the point of Yahusha’s Mikveh he would have to live sin free which is exactly the case. Why do you think YHVH established Mikveh in the first place... for the Messiah! It was a "rehearsal" for all High Priests to be consecrated that way to offer sacrifices pointing to and establishing the meaning of what John performed for Yahusha. Next: Could Yahusha have sinned and still be The Messiah?
