The Nature of the Messiah
By
Gary Primo
For centuries, the nature of the Messiah has been debated. Was he fully Elohim or half n half, or just a man? I found the following post online.
How Christianity Developed
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/religion/why/legitimization.html
By the third century of our era, we have something called Christianity with its own sacred books, its own rituals, its own ideas, but this is the great age of confrontation with the Roman Empire. The third century, of course, the great age of persecutions, where the Roman Empire now wakes up and realizes that there is something new, and from their perspective, sinister, afoot in new groups that are threatening the social order and ultimately the political order of the Empire. And the Roman Empire was correct. The Romans correctly intuited that the victory of Christianity would mean the end of the Roman Empire, the end of the classical world. ... We often think of persecution, of course, in a Christian perspective. We see it as heroic martyrs confronting the might of Rome, which is true. And the martyrs are indeed a wonderful spectacle and do present a wonderful demonstration of Christian faith. That is certainly true. By the same token, we must realize that the Roman Empire was doing what all bureaucracies do. It was trying to protect itself, trying to perpetuate itself....
The Romans tried to beat down Christianity but failed. By the fourth century Christianity becomes the state religion and by the end of the fourth century it is illegal to do any form of public worship other than Christianity in the entire Roman Empire. There is a great mystery in how this happened -- how such an extraordinary reversal, that begins with Jesus who is executed by the Romans as a public criminal, as a threat to the social order, and somehow we wind up three centuries later with Jesus being hailed as a God, as part of the one, true God who is the God of the new Christian Roman Empire. There is a remarkable progress, a remarkable development in the course of three centuries. ... It's hard to understand exactly how it happened or why it happened, but it is important to realize that we have a progression and a set of developments, and that Christianity by the fourth century is not the same as the Christianity that we see in the first or even the second.
What exactly was the Council of Nicea?
The Council of Nicea, which took place in 325, was a response to a crisis that developed in the church over the teachings of a presbyter, or priest, of the church in Alexandria. And his teachings suggested that Jesus was not fully divine, that Jesus was certainly a supernatural figure of some sort, but was not God in the fullest sense. His opponents included a fellow who came to be bishop of Alexandria, Anthanasius, and the folk on that side of the divide insisted that Jesus was fully divine. The Council of Nicea was called to try to mediate that dispute, and the Council did come down on the side of the full divinity of Jesus. It all boils down to one iota of difference. And the debates in the 4th century about the status of Jesus have to do with the Greek word that exemplifies the problem. One party said that Jesus was homo usias with the father, that is of the same being or substance as the father. The other party, the Arian party, argued that Jesus was homoi usias with the father, inserting a single letter "i" into that word. So the difference between being the same and being similar to was the heart of the debate over Arianism. And the Council of Nicea resolved that the proper teaching was that Jesus was of the same being as the father.
Now, Jesus had been transformed into the Lord Christ of Heaven and Constantine, the emperor, ruled in his name. ...
At the beginning, the author makes a bold statement. That Christianity evolved in the 3rd century as a completely new and different religion from the religion it is supposed to have come from – i.e. the Jewish religion.
A little further down we read, “By the same token, we must realize that the Roman Empire was doing what all bureaucracies do. It was trying to protect itself, trying to perpetuate itself....”. Now we have the reason why Constantine created the Christian religion.
The next statement of note is, “By the fourth century Christianity becomes the state religion and by the end of the fourth century it is illegal to do any form of public worship other than Christianity in the entire Roman Empire”. This was a very unique event in world history. What nation ever went from persecuting a religion so vigorously to making it the state sponsored religion? Not only that, but hey banned all other forms of religion from being practiced, including the true faith of the true Believers.
The Council of Nicaea was convened to settle a dispute over the divinity of the Messiah. Some claimed he was fully divine and was the same being or substance as the Father. The other side claimed he “was not fully divine, that Jesus was certainly a supernatural figure of some sort but was not God in the fullest sense”. Like with most debates, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
To have been Elohim in the fullest sense, Yahushua could have had no beginning.
Matt. 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.
2 - The same was in the beginning with Elohim.
3 - All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 - In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Many twist the meaning of these verses to their own understanding. The first thing we have to understand is, “What beginning is it talking about?” It could not be the Father’s beginning because He has no beginning. So, the only other beginning it can be talking about is the beginning of creation. The Word was with Elohim because He was the beginning of Yahuwah’s creation. Of course, He would have been with Elohim. The Word was Elohim in the sense that He came from Elohim (created in His likeness) in the same sense that we were, and therefore, we are all Elohim. Of course, we are not fully Elohim yet, and neither was Yahushua. His essence was more like that of an angel, to which the Book of Hebrews alludes.
Yahushua was given a unique station in life, which was to fully represent the Father in all things. In Him was the seed of all life. By the powers His Father bestowed on Him, He was able to create “all things”. We need to remember that the Father cannot approach the physical creation without destroying it, a fact that is alluded to 2 Peter 3:10 & 12. Therefore, the Father’s first act was to create someone to represent Him that could approach the physical realm without destroying it.
Col. 1: 13 - Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 - In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 - Who is the image of the invisible Elohim, the firstborn of every creature:
18 - And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the pre-eminence.
The Apostles knew Yahushua better than any men alive, before or after. They walked, talked, ate and slept with Yahushua on a daily basis. He taught them directly. They knew he was the Elohim of the Old Testament, and that He did not come to change anything that was written in it or to create a new religion directed at the Gentiles. He was calling the Lost Sheep of Israel – the 10 tribes of the Northern Kingdom that were taken into captivity and dispersed among the Gentiles. He was not calling all Gentiles. If one wishes to come to the true Messiah, they need to come to Him through the Old Testament. And. If any information in the New Testament contradicts the Old, then I would suspect Gentile tampering.
As it states in verse 18, Yahushua is the firstborn of both the old creation and the coming new creation. He has pre-eminence in all things.
Gen. 1: 26 - And Elohim said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
27 - So Elohim created man in his own image, in the image of Elohim created he him; male and female created he them.
In the very first chapter of Genesis, it is revealed that there were more than one Elohim that did the creating. It was obviously the Father who created Yahushua, but it was Yahushua who created all other things, using the power and knowledge that Yahuwah taught Him.
Man was created in the image of Elohim just as we were created in the image of our earthly fathers. Therefore, WE ARE ELOHIM; although we are not yet fully Elohim. John begins his gospel describing who Yahushua was.
John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.
2 - The same was in the beginning with Elohim.
3 - All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 - In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 - And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
The beginning talked about here was the beginning of the creation of Yahuwah. It has to be because the Father had no beginning. Yahushua was the beginning of creation. Verse 3 affirms that all things were made by him – the Son. In him was life and the blueprint for creating life. These things were built into his nature from the very beginning. This was the reason for His creation, so that He could act on behalf of the Father, without destroying everything by His mere presence.
In the opening chapters of the Book of Hebrews, we find a number of passages alluding to the nature of Yahushua. Although the authorship of this book is disputed, it, nevertheless, made it into the New Testament.
Heb. 1:2 - Has in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
The author of this book, as in many other books, alludes to the fact that the Father created all things by the Son. The Son was created in the image of the Father, not in the image of angels. Why is that? Because it was the Son who created the angels. The only time he was of a lesser status than an angel was when he was made a man. And that was a very temporary status. But yet, He was not fully Elohim until He rose from the grave. Neither shall we be fully Elohim until we rise from the grave.
The angels, on the other hand, currently enjoy immortality; but immortality is not at all equal to eternal life. Immortality is mere the continuation of life within one’s current nature. Man, also, was created immortal and would have never known death aside from Adam’s sin. We now have to go through a judgment before we ever see eternal life. The Fallen Angels also sinned and face a judgement.
1 Cor. 6:2 - Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 - Know you not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
The first job of the saints will be to judge the world. Their second job will be to judge angels. The reason that the angels are in need of a judgement is because some of them rebelled. If not for these few, there would be no need of a judgement. As for man, it was Adam who incurred the curse of death; but for those who overcome death, that curse is removed, and they are made fully elohim and worthy to judge both the world and angels. Both will be judged in the same manor, using the same criteria. The angels were created to guide and protect man, like a nanny looking after a newborn. They were to watch over (Watchmen) mankind and guide him to eternal life. Instead, one third of the angels rebelled. And two hundred of those sought to become the ones they were appointed to look after. This may have been because they viewed their actions as a faster way to become fully Elohim. But they corrupted their existence and any notion of eternal life.
Yahuwah did institute another way for man to overcome the curse of death, which was to collectively survive 4 generations sin-free. But that has sadly never happened.
We all know what the reward of the saints is; but what is the reward of angels? Like rebellious men, rebellious angels are doomed to eternal death. Their reward is not made clear anywhere in the Scriptures, so we can only speculate as to what it might be.
Heb.1:4 - Being made so much better than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 - For unto which of the angels said he at any time, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Yahushua was made so much better than the angels because he was the firstborn of ALL creation and it was He who created all things including the angelic realm. Yahushua is the only being created directly by the Father, making Him the Fathers “only begotten Son”. He is completely different and of much more glory than any angel.
6 - And again, when he brings in the firstbegotten into the world, he said, And let all the angels of Elohim worship him.
If Yahushua were of the same substance and nature as the angels, why would the other angels have a need to worship Him? Would they not all be equal? No, Yahushua is unique in all the creation. He was the Father’s Only Begotten Son, concerning whom there is no equal.
9 - You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore Elohim, even your Elohim, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
Here we have the reason why He is so far above His “fellows”. It was because he loved righteousness and hated iniquity. Iniquity equals corruption and righteousness equals incorruption. Yahushua was so righteous (incorruptible) that He perfectly mirrored the image of the Father. He is totally unique in all the creation.
10 - And, you, Lord, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
Verse 10 is speaking of Yahushua. It was He who laid the foundation of the earth and created the heavens. He is the Elohim of the Old Testament who interacted with mankind. He appeared in the likeness of the Father and almost everyone believed He was the Father.
Heb. 2:5 - For unto the angels has he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
Where angels had this world under their subjection, it will be man to whom the angels are under subjection in the world to come. That is when the righteous angels will receive eternal life and the rebellious angels will receive eternal death. They rebelled even though the had witnessed the glory of Elohim; therefore, they were without excuse.
Hebrews9 - But we see Yahushua, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of Elohim should taste death for every man.
(See Psalms 8:4-6)
Being made a little lower than the angels does not mean that He was ever equal to them. He was way above them. The consequences of sin were built into the creation before anything was even created. It was written into the DNA of the Son. And he passed it on to His creation. Therefore, only a being that was totally without sin, could become the only significant sacrifice for sin – without spot or blemish. Following that sacrifice, Yahushua rose from the dead being the firstborn of the New creation. By being the firstborn of both creations, Yahushua has pre-eminence in all things.
16 - For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Notice, Yahushua did not take on the nature of the seed of Adam, but that of Abraham. Why not? Is He not the Messiah of all men? Actually, no, He is not! He did not come to save all of mankind, because not all are worthy of salvation (actually no one is). Abraham proved his worthiness, and that worthiness was transferred by birthright upon all his descendants.
Heb. 3:3 - For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house has more honour than the house.
4 - For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is Elohim.
What these verses are saying is that the Creator is greater and has more honour than the creation. And, because Yahushua did all the creating, He has more honour than all of the great men of Elohim put together. And, since it was the Father, Yahuwah, who created Yahushua, He is worthy of the highest honour of all.
14 - Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Yahushua, the Son of Elohim, let us hold fast our profession.
Why is Yahushua presented as a great High Priest instead of Almighty Elohim? Since the beginning of creation, Yahushua was the conduit between the Creator (Yahuwah) and the creation. In that capacity, He has always been the High Priest. Nothing He did was ever for His own glory, but for the glory of the Father. The office of High Priest was passed from the corruptible man to the incorruptible heavenly being, so that we now have an incorruptible High Priest and an incorruptible priesthood..
What profession is the author talking about? The profession of faith. Once we profess our faith in Yahushua and the Father, there is no turning back. If we do, we negate any and all promises of salvation. We revert back to simple, ignorant beasts.
Rev. 1:8 - I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, says Yahuwah, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Since Yahushua represented the Father at all times, He too is the Alpha and Omega. The creation began with Him and will end with Him. Without Him, we would never have known the Father. If we truly know Him, we know the Father.
Rev. 1:13 - And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 - His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 - And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 - And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
These verses picture how Yahushua now looks. It is also how we will look when we attain our own glory. The seven candle sticks represent the candelabra that took center stage in the Temple. The center candle stood the tallest and therefore represented the Messiah. What about the other six candles?
Rev. 1:20 - The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which you saw are the seven churches.
The seven churches refer to seven church eras which were shortly to be addressed. Each era had its own angel watching over them and reported back to Yahushua. Each address has both warnings and praise. However, the worst condemnation is pronounced upon the last era, which unfortunately, is the era we are now living in.
Rev. 3:14 - And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of Elohim;
15 - I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot.
16 - So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue you out of my mouth.
17 - Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 - I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you mayest be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
19 - As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 - Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 - To him that overcome will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 - He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
In my seventy years on this earth, I have yet to hear any Christian admit to being a Laodicean. And, I have to admit that I was once in that place. While with the WCG, I laid down my guard and allowed that church to do all my thinking for me. In some issues they were correct (while under HWA). My eyes were not opened until the new regime (under JT) came out with the “God Is” booklet, which was basically a return to the trinity garbage. I saw it for what it was immediately and confronted our minister at the time about it. He said to me, “I don’t understand it either but that is what they are paying me to teach and that is what I am going to do. Of course, many others recognized this work for what it was also, and that church broke apart completely.
But Yahushua did not simply condemn that church, he offered reconciliation. “I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you mayest be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that you may see.”
Our generation is in desperate need of getting back to business and getting serious about our salvation.
Chapter four reveals a picture of Yahuwah’s throne for us.
Rev. 4:2 - And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
2 - And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 - And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 - And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 - And one of the elders said unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 - And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of Elohim sent forth into all the earth.
7 - And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
This picture clearly shows that it is Yahuwah alone that sits on the throne. The question of worthiness to open the book is directed at the creation, amongst whom the Lamb (Yahushua) is found. His worthiness was grounded on His being always faithful, always obedient, and always doing the work of the Father. He was faithful unto death, and his death removed the curse of death from those who believe in and follow Him.
13 - And 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, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Clearly, there is One that sits on the throne and one that does not. The One that sits on the throne is the Father. He alone has existed from eternity. Every other thing and person are of the creation.
Rev. 19:7 - Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready.
8 - And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 - And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of Elohim.
All Christians believe that they are to be included in this marriage. However, this marriage is for the true Saints alone. Christians confess belief in words but are lacking in action. In other words, their actions negate their words. Such are not even remotely qualified for the Kingdom.
Rev. 16:11 - And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he does judge and make war.
12 - His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 - And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of Elohim.
Faithfulness and truth are the key words here. That is what qualified Yahushua to be the only one of the creation qualified to take the scroll from the Father’s hand. These words will also be what qualifies us for the Kingdom.
Yes, Yahushua now has a new name that no one knows. Why is that? Possibly so that no one can blaspheme His name. Only those who make it into the Kingdom will learn what that name is. The term, “the Word of Elohim, is merely a title which He has always born.
Rev. 20:11 - And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 - And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before Elohim; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 - And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 - And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
The main tenant of the Christian faith is that we are save by faith, not works. Yet, these verses clearly affirm that we will be judged by our works. Faith without works is dead (irrelevant); and all who believe otherwise are going to be in for a very sad awakening in the end.
The term, “lake of fire” appears to be a contradictory one. A lake usually refers to a body of water. Why would the author use this term in relation to fire? Of course, it refers to the cleansing, spiritual fire that will utterly destroy everything that remains corruptible, before the Father can make His approach. The Father cannot occupy the same space as corruption without utterly destroying it. Thus, the need to create a Son who could create and interact with the creation without destroying it.
Rev. 21:3 - And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of Elohim is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and Elohim himself shall be with them, and be their Elohim.
The tabernacle of Elohim is coming to earth. Nowhere does it say that men are going to heaven. The planet Earth has always been designated as the future Kingdom of Elohim. Yahuwah will always be our Elohim and Yahushua His High Priest. I imagine that even after we make it into the Kingdom, we will yet be in need of much training before we fully become Elohim. That is simply too much power to be messed with.
7 - He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his Elohim, and he shall be my son.
First we must overcome before we inherit “all things”. What is it we are to overcome? The ways of this world which are continually evil. How do we do that? By believing in and following Yahushua!
What is it that we are to inherit? The exact same thing as Yahushua – eternity in Yahuwah’s Kingdom. How does that benefit us? We will be as our eldest brother – full and powerful elohim. And I believe that it will be delegated to us to eventually bring life to the entire universe. What good is a universe devoid of life? Does it make any sense to anyone that Yahuwah would build such a huge space just to sit empty for all of eternity? No, brethren, our glorification will include the gaining of knowledge and the acquisition of very great power. And we will use that knowledge and power to bring life to the entire creation. Can you imagine being in charge of your very own planet? That is exactly what we are being trained to do. However, we must first take on the nature of the Son. Before that we must know what the nature of the Son is.
22 - And I saw no temple therein: for Yahuwah Elohim Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
All things physical are merely a temporary state. The physical realm was never meant to be eternal. The physical state is corrupt and cannot survive into the Kingdom.
In the beginning, Yahushua had a direct and personal relationship with the first humans. It was just Him and man. There was no religious body. There was no church. Man had direct and personal access to the Father, through the Son. The very first religion/church was Mystery Babylon (Nimrod’s creation). Every man-made church since then has followed the same pattern and theology. The Jewish religion began in righteousness, but quickly devolved into unrighteousness; and began putting their own doctrines before the word of Elohim. When their awaited Savour came, they had Him killed – a clear declaration that they rejected the Elohim they claimed to serve.
Yahushua came to repair the breach that man-made churches have torn in two. We no longer need a religion or church to have access to Elohim. We have an Eternal High Priest who has overcome all things and remains incorruptible. Yahushua opened the door for us to directly go straight to the Father through Him. There is no safety, reconciliation or salvation to be found amongst any of the worldly religions. These things come from direct communication with the Father. If we do not build this relationship first, we are in danger of falling for the doctrine of “Group think”. That is where to belong to any religion or church, one must agree with all the teaching of that church. Another example is affiliation with any one political party. It is practically demanded that we be of the same beliefs. It must not be so with us, Brethren. We must be of the same mindset as the Father, not any man.
Rev. 22:3 - And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of Elohim and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
The “curse” is death. For all true Believers, this curse has been removed. We still have to go through a physical death; however, we now have the opportunity to be raised from death to eternal life. All we have to do is trust and faithfully follow our Elohim.
Rev. 22:13 - I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Of course, the angel who spoke these words fully represented Yahushua; therefore, it is as if the Messiah Himself is saying them. Again, the Son is representing the Father who definitely is the ultimate first and last (since He has no beginning or end); however, the Son is also the first and the last, meaning that he was the beginning of creation and He successfully completed the purpose for His existence. Now it is our turn to complete the purpose for our existence. And we can only do that by taking on Yahushua’s nature (which is the exact same nature as the Father) and obeying His words which are clearly preserved for us in the Scriptures.
Conclusion
Knowing the nature of HaMashiyack is essential to taking on the nature of Yahushua. That is what our training is all about. It is my hope that this study has clarified any confusion as to what that nature entails. Christian teachings merely confuse ones understanding of that nature. Constantine was the antichrist and Christianity is the church of the antichrist. It was created to overcome and all but completely swallow the True Faith. Counterfeit money is recognizable to anyone who is trained to recognize it. Counterfeit Christianity is also easily recognizable to anyone whose only teacher is Yahushua.
One unusual human trait I often found with my home renovation customers, is that instead of coming directly to the expert to answer their questions, they went to their friends. Now friends are great and well meaning; but they do not always know what they are talking about. And following their advice often leads to greats monetary cost to repair their mistakes.
Lately, I have been posting links to my e-book, “The Christian Counterfeit, Constantine’s One World Religion”, on religious sites that appear on my Facebook page. I saw it as a free way to promote the book. I have received some interesting and humorous replies. One claimed that Christianity has been around for hundreds of years before the Jewish religion. My thoughts were, you are absolutely right, given that Christianity is directly descended from Mystery Babylon. Another accused me of simply trying to turn a buck. My reply was, “oh ya, I forgot to mention that it is 100% free. I never heard another word from him.
And I am telling them to do their own study and prove me wrong. For I know that all who dutifully and righteously seek the truth will find it. It may be a long road (as it was for me) but they will eventually get there if they continue.
We are truly a rare breed in today’s world. We are modern-day Bereans, trusting our salvation to no one save our One and Only, Great, High Priest, Yahushua HaMashiyack. We know the nature of Yahushua and are succeeding in taking that same nature upon ourselves. However, we must be careful to never let down our guard. This is a journey that continues right up to our physical death. We must never put down the gauntlet, thinking we now know it all. We are currently only in grade one. Our education and perfecting will continue long into the future.
Yahuwah Bless
