PalTalk Notes

"Early catecheticals emerged from Graeco-Roman mystery religions, especially the late cult of Mithras meant to educate their members into the secretive teachings, which competed with the Catholic Church as an underground religion in the 1st to 4th centuries CE and allegedly shared its many ritual practices. Today, they are characteristic of Western Christianity but are also present in Eastern Christianity as well."  SOURCE

"MITHRAS (cf. Sanskrit Mitram, friend), the highest of the twenty-eight second-class divinities of the ancient Persian pantheon, the Ized (Zend. Yazata), or genius of the sun and ruler of the universe. protector and supporter of man in this life, he watches over his soul in the next, defending against the impure spirits, and transferring it into the realms of eternal bliss. He is all-seeing and all-hearing, and, armed with a club -- his weapon against that Ahiram and the evil Dews -- he unceasingly "runs his course" between heaven and earth. The ancient monuments represent him as a beautiful youth ... At times he is also represented as a lion or the head of a lion. The most important of his many festivals was his birthday, celebrated on Dec. 25th, the day subsequently fixed -- AGAINST ALL EVIDENCE - as the birthday of Christ." The worship of Mithras early found its way to Rome, and the mysteries of Mithras (Hierocoracica,  Coracica Sacra), which fell in the spring equinox, were famous even among the many Roman festivals. ... Through Rome , where this worship, after many vain endeavours, was finally suppressed in 378 A.D., it may be presumed that it found its way into the w. an n. of Europe; and many tokens of its former existence in Germany, for instance, are still to be found,such as the Mithras monuments at the Hedernheim, near Frankfort-on-the-Main, and at other places. Among the chief authorities on the subject are, Anquetil du Perron, Creuzer, Sylvestre de Sacy, Lajard, O Muller (Denkmaler d.  alten  Kunst), See GUEBRES PARSEES  ZENDAVESTA.

0 "Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst," says Yahowah. "Many nations shall be joined to Yahowah at that time, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know Yahowah of hosts has sent me to you. "And Yahowah will take possession of Yehudah as His inheritance in this set apart land, and will again choose Yerusalem (Zecharyah 2:10-12). 

It is only in the Book of John that records Yeshua as saying that he "came down from heaven." The Book of John is written in figures of speech. Yeshua did not literally "come down from heaven." Father Yahowah sent His son Yeshua into the world just as he had sent all of the other former prophets into the world. It is in this sense as a figure of speech that Yeshua "came down from heaven."

"The ballet dancer came down and alighted on the floor like a dove." Would the speaker here be speaking of an actual dove coming down and alighting on the floor? Did a dove actually come down an alight on Yeshua's head? Did actual blood drip from Yeshua when it is said "...  his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.” It does not say that actual drops of blood fell to the ground. The answer to these questions is, most certainly No!. One must be careful in not taking all of what is said in Scripture in a literal sense, and reading into it what it does not say, especially in translations.

 Changed from a corruptible body to an incorruptible body. The spiritual body is of flesh and bones: They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a spirit. He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have. Yeshua did not raise himself from death. It was his and our Father Yahowah that raised him from the dead.

Keep in mind that if one lies to themselves, they will most certainly lie to others.

We are to deny ourselves for Father Yahowah just as His son Yeshua denied himself and became a humble servant: Let this mind be in you, which was also in the Messiah Yeshua: "... and took upon him the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of being executed" (Philippians 2: 5-8).

Father Yahowah did not directly create a THING called "evil" and He did no evil. Yahowah allowed evil in that man had a choice to do what is righteous and what is evil. For You are not a Mighty One who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil dwells with You (Psalm 5:4). To declare that Yahowah is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him (Psalm 92:15). This says Yahowah, "What injustice did your fathers find in Me, That they went far from Me And walked after emptiness and became empty? (Yeremyah 2:5).

When Yeshua said "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father" (Yahchanan [John] 14:9), he was speaking in a figure of speech and not in a a literal sense as in seeing with the eyes, but in the sense of knowing, understanding or perception. Also compare verse 7 where he said "If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from henceforth you know him, and have seen him."

"For it was fitting that He [Yahowah], for Whom and by Whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to esteem, should make [Yeshua] the pioneer of their redemption perfect through suffering. For he [Yeshua] who sets apart and those who are set apart have all ONE ORIGIN. That is why he [Yeshua] is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying, I will proclaim Your Name [Yahowah's Name] to my brothers, in the midst of the congregation I will praise You" (Hebrews 2:10-12; Psalm 22:22).

Is it not ironic that there are King James Onlyist and the cover page of the King James translation says " ... WITH FORMER TRANSLATIONS DILIGENTLY COMPARED ..."?

CHRISTIAN

"The word Chrestos existed ages before Christianity was heard of."

Dictionary of the Bible by James Hastings (1963 Charles Scribners's Sons), pg. 138, states under the caption, "3. The Spread of the Name. - Since "Christian" was not originally a self-designation of the followers of Jesus, it is not surprising that it is rarely found in the New Testament." Hastings Dictionary of the Bible further states that Roman authorities gave the Messiah's followers the name "Christians" but the word itself to the pagans is associated with heinous crimes and vices. In this section "4. The Meaning of the Name.- The Roman authorities, who first designated the disciples of Jesus as Christians, attempted thereby to characterize them as a political group or party, held together by their loyalty to the party head, Christos. While originally the title was given for juridical convenience without implying a derogatory sense, the pagan mob must at a very early time have associated it with heinous crimes and vices ... Not too much emphasis should be placed, therefore upon the etymology of christos. Though literally meaning the "Anointed One," i.e. the Messiah, the title soon lost its original denotation and became a personal name in the Greek-speaking church."

The New Encyclopedia Britannica, Volume 4, (copyright 1982), pg. 460 states under the caption Christianity: "The concept of "Christianity" (Christianismos), which denotes what is "essence," does not appear in the New Testament writings. Not until the time of the Apostolic Fathers (i.e., The Christian thinkers of the late 1st and early 2nd centuries) was it used as a Christian parallel to the concept "Judaism" (Ioudaismos), which the Apostle Paul had used in his letter to the Galatians, chapter 1, verse 13 to characterize the Jewish way of faith and Life. The term Christianity was first used in such a manner by Ignatius the Bishop of Antioch (died c. AD 110), in his Letter to the Magnesians."

Christian - the name given by the Greeks or Romans, probably in reproach, to the followers of Jesus. It was first used at Antioch. The names by which the disciples were known among themselves were "brethren," "the faithful," "elect," "saints," "believers." But as distinguishing them from the multitude without, the name "Christian" came into use, and was universally accepted. This name occurs but three times in the New Testament (Acts 11:26; 26:28; 1 Pet. 4:16). - Easton's Bible Dictionary 1897

1779, from Fr. Alpine dialect crestin , "a dwarfed and deformed idiot" of a type formerly found in families in the Alpine lands, a condition caused by a congenital deficiency of thyroid hormones, from V.L. *christianus "a Christian," a generic term for "anyone," but often with a sense of "poor fellow.", from Latin ChrÄstiÄnus, Christian; see Christian.] Related: Cretinism (1801). - SOURCES: 1 2 3 4

There is a dispute as to whether the Aramaic 'maryah' is in reference to the name YHWH.

"Only God can forgive sin!"? FATHER Yahowah GAVE His SON ALL power (authority) in heaven and in the earth. This ALL power (authority) most certainly included the power (authority) to redeem mankind from sin and death. But that you may know that the Son of Man has [been GIVEN] power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up your bed, and go unto thine house (Mattithyah [Matthew] 9:6).

Then Yeshua came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been GIVEN to me (Mattithyah [Matthew] 28:18). FATHER Yahowah GAVE His SON Yeshua power (authority) on earth to forgive sin. This is proof that the Messiah is not "God": But that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up your bed, and go unto your house (Mattithyah [Matthew] 9:6).

When FATHER Yahowah gave His SON All power (authority) in heaven and in the earth, this is not saying that FATHER Yahowah is left with no power (authority).

The word 'elohim' conveys the meaning 'might, strength or power' and can give reference to anything that actually has or is said to have might strength or might.

The word 'elohim' is simply in reference to ones who are said to have strength, might or power (authority) and is in reference to mighty ones, false mighty ones who have no power whatsoever or are "no gods at all",and a mighty ones that receive their power (authority) from Father Yahowah the Supreme Power.

Therefore, "Come out from among them and be you separate, says Yahowah. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you" (2 Corinthians 6:17; cf. Revelation 18:1-24).

Gentiles (Hebrew: goyim, heathen, strangers, foreigners, outsiders, a people, etc.), which means those who are of the nations other than Israel are to be grafted into the commonwealth of Israel and to be no longer of the nations (gentiles).

House of Israel or House of Yahowah is in reference to a people united in agreement ["covenant"] with Father Yahowah just as assembly or congregation ["church"] is in reference to the people and not to a building called "a church."

THE LAW

 Now we know that Yahowah hears not sinners: but if any man be a worshiper of Yahowah, and does His will, him He hears (Yahchanan [John] 9:31). Sin is the transgresion of the Law (1 Yahchanan 3:4).

Yeshua taught that we are to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of his and our Father Yahowah. This is what Yahowah says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the righteous way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, 'We will not walk in it' (Yeremyah 6:16).

To the Law and to the testimony (covenant): if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them (Isayah 8:20).

Scripture clearly teaches that Father Yahowah's instruction [torah, "law"] is PERFECT, and that it restores the soul and that the testimony (covenant) of Yahowah is trustworthy, making the simple one wise [Deuteronomy 29:28]. 

Shaul [Paul] says "Therefore the Law is set apart ["holy"], and the commandment set apart ["holy"], and just, and right ( Romans 7:12).

We know that the Law is right if one uses it properly [1 Timothy 1:8].

There is no way of getting away with disobeying Father Yahowah's instruction [torah, "law"] no matter how hard the lawless ones try to get away with disobeying it.

The "Law" was not "done away with and nailed to a cross" as many erroneously teach. Scripture does not teach such foolishness!

When one erroneously says "The Law was done away with and nailed to the cross.", they are in turn saying that we can now murder, steal, bear false witness, worship "Gods" and etc.

This is what Yahowah says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the righteous way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, 'We will not walk in it' (Yeremyah 6:16).

Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the unrighteous and for sinners, for those who have not separated themselves and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; that conforms to the glad tidings concerning the esteem of the blessed Yahowah, which he entrusted to me (1 Timothy 1:9-11).

Father Yahowah finds favor ["grace"] with those who take His instruction [torah, "law", commandment] to heart.

“If you will enter into life, keep the commandments!” MANY do not keep Father Yahowah's commandments! In fact, many teach that His commandments have been "done away with and nailed to the cross." "Not everyone who says to me, 'Master, Master,' will enter the Kingdom of Yahowah, but only the one who does the will of my Father Who is in heaven (Mattithyah [Matthew] 5:21). One has a choice to obey or disobey Father Yahowah's instruction or teaching [torah, "law"]. One is not forced to obey Father Yahowah.

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of Yahowah, and the belief of Yeshua (Revelation 14:12).

The new covenant (agreement) was not like the first in that THEY broke the first covenant (agreement). Yahowah did not break His end of the covenant (agreement). His says that He will not break His covenant (agreement).

Father Yahowah's instruction [torah, law] is not a curse! It is disobedience to Father Yahowah's instruction that is a curse! "The curse of the law" is disobedience of the law, not the law itself!

(For not the hearers of the Law are just before Yahowah, but the doers of the Law shall be justified (Romans 2:13).

Do we then make void the Law through faith? Yahowah forbid! No, we establish the Law (Romans 3:31).

ADAM - MAN

I do not take the creation accounts in Genesis literally and I do not believe Adam and Eve were only two individuals, but that the story of Adam and Eve is figurative of the creation of mankind as a whole in the beginning.

In Genesis the word 'Adam' [male and female] is in reference to all of mankind that was created by Father Yahowah in the beginning and not in reference to two individuals as commonly believed.

Being in the form or image of Yahowah ["God"] is not being Yahowah ["God"].

Adam (mankind) was also created in the form or image of Father Yahowah ["God"], but this does not make man Yahowah ["God"].

 The NIV translates: He created them male and female and blessed them. And he named them "MANKIND" when they were created (Genesis 5:2).Man is destined to die once: And as it is appointed unto men once to die ... (Hebrews 9:27).

If you are looking to Scripture for instruction in righteousness concerning celebrating and observing the Messiah's birthdate once a year, Scripture does not instruct such an observance and celebration. If one is looking for truth, the truth is, the Messiah was not born on December 25th. Since this is not truth, it most certainly is a lie and we are not to practice a lie.

We only pre-existed in Father Yahowah's plan just as Yeshua the Messiah. We did not pre-exist our birth as actual beings and neither did Yeshua the Messiah.

Yeshua existed HERE ON EARTH in the form or image of Yahowah just as Adam existed HERE ON EARTH in the form or image of Yahowah. Yeshua did not pre-exist his birth as an actual being that was with his and our Father Yahowah in the beginning

For unto which of the malakim ["angels"] said He at any time, You are My son, at this time have I begotten you? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a son? (Hebrews 1:5, 13; 2:5, 16): It is obviously none of them, since there is no record of Father Yahowah saying to any of the malakim at any time, "You are My son, I have begotten you." or "I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to Me a son.".

Proof that "Jesus IS God!" and that he pre-existed his birth as an actual being are false doctrines: This is the genealogy of Yeshua the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham: ... (Mattithyah [Matthew] 1:1).

Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous (1 Yahchanan [John] 3:7).

Yeshua is my brother, not my "God."

It is written in the torah in the book of Moshe, where Yahowah commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin (2 Chronicles 25:4).

What was at fault with the "Old Testament" is that the people did not keep their side of the agreement. As for Father Yahowah's side of the agreement ["covenant"], He says the He will never break His covenant.

When Yeshua said "When you have seen me you have seen the Father", the word 'seen' is in reference to understanding and perception, not what one literally sees with their eyes.

And from forever they have not heard; they did not give ear. Eye has not seen a Elohim except You, who works for him who waits for Him (Isayah 64:4).

Fire Is Symbolic of Destruction

Who shall be punished with everlasting DESTRUCTION from the presence of Yahowah, and from the esteem of His power; (2 Thessalonians 1:9).

For, behold, the time is coming, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yes, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the time is coming when it shall burn them up, says Yahowah of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch ... And you shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the time that I shall do this, says Yahowah of hosts. (Malakyah 4:1,3).

Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into EVERLASTING FIRE, prepared for the devil and his malakim: (Mattithyah 24:41).

The exclamation expession 'Sheesh!' and 'Geez!' are euphemisms for the name exclamation 'Jesus!'

Woe to those who call what is evil right and what is right evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter (Isayah 5:20).

There are heavenly being messengers (malakim ["angels"]) and there are earthly being messengers (malakim ["angels"]).

Yeshua, his disciples and the apostles learned and taught from the "Old Testament." The following verse is in reference to the "Old Testament", since the "New Testament" had not yet been written or compiled at the time this was said: All Scripture is given by inspiration of Yahowah, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of Yahowah may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all righteous works (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Note that it says that they were "THOROUGHLY FURNISHED unto all righteous works" with the "Old Testament" alone.

I saw among the simple, I noticed among the young men, a youth who had no sense. He was going down the street near her corner, walking along in the direction of her house at twilight, as the day was fading, as the dark of night set in. Then out came a woman to meet him, dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent. (She is unruly and defiant, her feet never stay at home; now in the street, now in the squares, at every corner she lurks.) She took hold of him and kissed him and with a brazen face she said: "Today I fulfilled my vows, and I have food from my fellowship offering at home. I have covered my bed with colored linens from Egypt. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon. Come, let's drink deeply of love till morning; let's enjoy ourselves with love! My husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey. He took his purse filled with money and will not be home till full moon." With persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk. All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life. Now then, my sons, listen to me; pay attention to what I say. Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths. Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain are a mighty throng. Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers of death.

I had a Messianic congregation here in Richmond, Indiana where I live contact me via the internet and invite me to their synagogue. They mentioned that they used the name Yahuah as if this itself would draw me to them. NOT!

If you pray that Father Yahowah's will be done on earth as it is in heaven. You had better be doing Father Yahowah's will.

For all the gods of the nations are idols, but Yahowah made the heavens (Psalm 96:5).

They sacrificed unto devils, not to Yahowah; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not (Deuteronomy 32:17).

All Scripture is given by inspiration of Yahowah, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of Yahowah MAY BE PERFECT, THOROUGHLY FURNISHED unto all righteous works (2 Timothy 3:16-17). For I testify unto every man that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, Yahowah shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, Yahowah shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book (Revelation 22:18-19). Trust in Yahowah with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding (Proverb 3:5).

"Spirit of Christmas"? Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from Yahowah, because many false prophets have gone out into the world (1 Yahchanan [John] 4:1).

The Christian statements "Christ Was Born On Christmas Day" and "God in three person, blessed Trinity" are not Scriptural.

You don't work out your own redemption? "... but now much more in my absence--continue to work out your redemption with fear and trembling, ..." (Philippians 2:12).

It is Father Yahowah Who does the works through mankind, so none of mankind has any reason to boast.

Is it inspired by Father Yahowah or inspired by demons?: Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from Yahowah, because many false prophets have gone out into the world (1 Yahchanan [John] 4:1).

Note what Yeshua said concerning what Kepha said: Yeshua replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Yahnah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Kepha, and on this rock I will build my congregation, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Mattithyah [Matthew] 16:17-19).  - - Yeshua turned and said to Kepha, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of Yahowah, but merely human concerns" (Verse 23).

I can be in a group of people and tell them "Let's ["Let US"]  move this chair over here." when I in fact picked the chair up by myself and moved it to where I had indicated. The other people in this group did not actually move the chair or even help me in moving the chair. Even though I used the word 'US.', I "ALONE", "BY MYSELF" and "NO ONE ELSE" actually moved the chair.

Yahowah was not alone at the creation, but it was He alone that done the creating.

If you do not want to depend on scholars, you might as well throw your so-called "Holy Bible" in the trash, since it was translated by scholars.

It is hard to control your emotions when you believe that someone else is the cause of your getting emotional.

Yes, Satan is the mighty one ["god"] "of this world," Yeshua said that he was not "of this world." Yeshua also said that his followers are NOT "of this world." If you were of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you (Yahchanan [John] 15:19).

I have a Heavenly FATHER and Creator Whose Name is Yahowah and Who sent His SON into the world. FATHER Yahowah named His SON Yeshua and appointed and ANOINTED him as high priest, king, MESSIAH, and redeemer. FATHER Yahowah sent His SON into the world just as He had sent all of the other MAN prophets into the world.  Those "of the world" refer to his and our Heavenly Father and Creator as "God."

Both Adam and Eve were referred to as  "Adam (mankind): Male and female created He THEM; and blessed THEM, and called THEIR name Adam, in the day when THEY were created (Genesis 5:2).

TEMPLE REBUILT?

"What? Know you not that your body is the temple of the set apart spirit which is in you, which you have of Yahowah, and you are not your own? For you are bought with a price: therefore esteem Yahowah in your body, and in your spirit, which are Yahowah’s."

About 419,000 people die each year from cigarette and cigar smoking and that is only in the United States. Smoking causes 20 percent of all deaths in the United States each year. Cigarette smoking is the major cause of lung disease, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis. It is proven to cause cancer, heart disease and hormonal problems. Smoking is also linked to pulmonary diseases, cardiovascular disease.

We do not live on after death as a spirit being. The spirit is not you, but what keeps you alive or gives one life. This goes back to Father Yahowah Who gave it.

TITHING

Tithing is not on money, but on land and livestock: "All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is Yahowah's ... If a man wishes to redeem any of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it. And all the tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsmen's staff, shall be set apart to Yahowah" (RSV). It is obvious from this passage that Yahowah commanded the Israelites to tithe on (1) agricultural produce and (2) every tenth animal of their flocks and herds. Nowhere here or anywhere else in Scripture does Yahowah ever state that an Israelite should tithe on anything else. Yahowah never told the Israelites to tithe on their monetary wages-and these people weren't all farmers by any means. He never commanded them to give a tithe of all the fish they caught or of all the copper they mined, nor did he require they give a tenth of the money they received from selling pottery, chariots, sandals, garments, etc. In fact, even The Jewish Encyclopedia and The Encyclopedia of Jewish Religion (under "Tithes") state that the Israelites tithed only on agricultural produce and livestock.

'Yahowah bless you, and keep you. May Yahowah make His face shine on you and find favor with you; Yahowah turn His face toward you and give you peace."' (Numbers 6:24-26).

It is quite easy to prove the ""Oneness" doctrine to be false and the doctrines that are taught in Scripture to be true: Yeshua did not have power (authority) before it was GIVEN to him. There is no one greater than Father Yahowah that can GIVE Him power (authority).

There will definitely be divisions among the religions of mankind at Yeshua's return.

Sola Scriptura: We are "thoroughly furnished" with Scripture alone for our doctrine for reproof and correction and instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Note also that this verse is in reference to the "Old Testament", since the "New Testament" was not yet written and compiled at the time this was said.

I confess and believe that Yeshua is the Messiah the son of the living Yahowah and that Yeshua came or was born in the flesh as Scripture asks me to believe and confess. Nowhere in Scripture am I ever asked to believe and confess "Jesus IS God!" or the doctrine "Deity of Jesus Christ."

I do not agree with the doctrines that are common among Christianity such as the so-called "Holy Trinity", "Jesus IS God!", "God the Son", "Deity of Jesus Christ", "pre-existence of Jesus Christ (as an actual being)", the "Virgin" birth of the Messiah, a global flood, eternal torment of unrighteous spirit beings in "Hell", etc.

Nowhere in Scripture from where we are to get our doctrine for reproof and correction and instruction in righteousness does it ever say or teach such foolisness as "."

The rock that the assembly is built on is that Yeshua is the Messiah the son of the living Yahowah, not "Jesus IS God!"

Proof that the doctrine "Jesus IS God!" is a false doctrine: Yeshua gave them this answer: "Very truly I tell you, the son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the son also does (Yahchanan [John] 5:19).

FATHER Yahowah was not made a little lower than the angels, but it was His SON that was.

Proof that Yeshua is not Yahowah ["God"]: AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN APPEARED TO HIM AND STRENGTHENED HIM. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly ... (Luke 22:43-44). Almighty Yahowah would not need and angel to strengthen Him. Yeshua on the other hand would need an angel to strengthen him. Yeshua was made a little lower than the angels and an angel most certainly would be able to strengthen him.

Yeshua was anointed (messiah) as King by his and our Father Yahowah.  Father Yahowah ["God"] had no need to be anointed (messiah) as King, since Father Yahowah was already King Supreme. There is also no one greater than Father Yahowah that was in position to anoint Him as King.

DIA & PRE-EXISTENCE

Yahweh created the world "by" (through) the Son (Heb. 1:2 KJV). The Diaglott says Yahweh created the world "on account of" the Son. Any one of the three ["by," "through," or "on account of"] is, technically, a correct translation of the Greek word Di' or Dia. Dia is in the KJV translated several ways, but usually is translated as follows: By - 243 times; through - 100 times; for - 106 times; because - 24 times; because of - 29 times; for the sake of - 32 times; etc.

FIRSTBORN

Yeshua is unique in one sense in that he was the firstborn of ALL creation. Keep in mind that Father Yahowah is still in the creative process. Yeshua is said in Scripture to be the "firstborn of all creation", not the "first created being of all creation." Yeshua's being referenced to as "the firstborn of ALL creation" is in reference to his being the first to be born or raised from the dead to live for all eternity. The Messiah is the first fruit of the "first fruits." It is not in reference to his being the first to be created in the beginning as many deceptively teach. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predesignate to be conformed to the image of His son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren [Romans 8:28].

Scripture teaches that Yeshua had the same origin as all men, so Yeshua did not pre-exist his birth as an actual being as many deceptively teach, since we did not pre-exist our birth as actual beings.

"For it was fitting that He [Yahowah], for Whom and by Whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to esteem, should make [Yeshua] the pioneer of their redemption perfect through suffering. For he [Yeshua] who sets apart and those who are set apart have all ONE ORIGIN. That is why he [Yeshua] is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying, I will proclaim Your Name [Yahowah's Name] to my brothers, in the midst of the congregation I will praise You" (Hebrews 2:10-12; Psalm 22:22).

Yeshua came in the flesh or was born or came into existence in the flesh.

When we were born we came into existence or took on the form of man just as Yeshua did. Scripture teaches that the MAN Yeshua had the same origin as all MEN. We as MANkind had no orgin as pre-existent beings, so Yeshua the Messiah had no origin as a pre-existent being either.

COLOSSIANS 1:15-20 — PREEXISTENCE OR PREEMINENCE? by William M. Wachtel

MANIFEST IN THE FLESH

Yahowah Himself repeatedly said He is ONE Yahowah, and that there is NO OTHER Mighty One with and beside Him and that He ALONE is responsible for the creation of the heavens and the earth and ALL THINGS IN THEM (Deuteronomy 6:4; 32:39-40; Psalm 83:18; Isayah 45:5-6; etc.). Yeshua himself said that his and our Father, Yahowah, is THE ONLY TRUE MIGHTY ONE, and HIS MIGHTY ONE (Yahchanan [John] 17:5; 20:17; Revelation 3:12; etc.).

Nowhere in Scripture does it ever say or explain "angels take the form of men."

The word 'manifest' means to 'make known' or 'to reveal.' It has nothing whatsoever to do with being transformed from one form to another.

1 Timothy 3:16 has been erroneously translated as "God was manifest in the flesh." It should have been translated "HE (Yeshua) was manifest in the flesh." Please compare other translations that translate this verse properly.

"Whom do men say that I the son of man am?" Note that none of them answered and said "Some say you are God!" It is quite evident that no one at that time believed Yeshua was "God." This false and deceptive doctrine "Jesus IS God!" was developed long after all of the apostles had died and is a product of "The great FALLING AWAY" from the truth. Yeshua was a spokesman and a prophet of his and our Father Yahowah's word HERE ON EARTH in this last time period. Yeshua was not a spokesman of his and our Father Yahowah's word before he was BORN (or came into existence). The prophets of old were the spokesmen of Father Yahowah's word in ancient times as Hebrews 1:1-2 makes perfectly clear.

HEBREWS 1:8

"He [Yahweh, verse 5] says of the Son, 'G-d [the Father, Yahweh] is thy throne for ever and ever, thy royal septre is the septre of equity: thou [the Son] hast loved justice and hated lawlessness, therefore G-d, the G-d, has consecrated thee with the oil of rejoicing beyond thy comrades' - and, 'Thou [Yahweh] didst found the earth at the beginning, O L-rd [Yahweh], and the heavens are the work of thy hands; ...'" (Heb. 1:8-10, Moffatt).

"Of Old You [YHWH], Verses 1, 12, 18] didst lay the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They [the heavens and the earth] will perish, but thou dost endure; they will all wear out like a garment. Thou change them like raiment, and they pass away; but thou [YHWH] art the same, and thy years have no end" (Ps. 102:25-27 RSV).

As indicated above [with brackets], these verses speak of Yahweh as Creator - not Jesus. Jesus’ years did, indeed, come to an end. Not so those of the Father, Yahweh. His years never end. He lives forever; past; present, and future.

Did God Call His Son Jesus God? Hebrews 1:8

Being in the image of Father Yahowah ["God"] is not being Yahowah ["God"]. Yahowah created mankind (Adam) in His image. Man is not Yahowah ["God"] and Yahowah ["God"] is not man.

Trinitarians instruct you to start a study of Scripture with John so they can deceive you right off with the false doctrine "Jesus God."

Yeshua the son of man is the Messiah the SON of the living Yahowah. This is what Yeshua and his and our FATHER Yahowah revealed to Kepha ["Peter"], not "Jesus IS God!"

Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Yeshua is the Messiah. Such a person is the anti-messiah--denying the Father and the Son. No one who denies the SON has the FATHER; whoever acknowledges the SON has the FATHER also. (1 Yahchanan [John] 2:22-23). Moreover, the FATHER judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the SON, that all may honor the SON just as they honor the FATHER. Whoever does not honor the SON does not honor the FATHER, Who sent him (Yahchanan 5:22-23).

When Yeshua said "if you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins" he was giving reference to his being the Messiah the son of the living Yahowah.

Father Yahowah and His Son Yeshua - Two Separate and Distinct Beings 

The following verses speak of two separate distinct beings: Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true Mighty One, and Yeshua the Messiah, whom You have sent (Yahchanan [John] 17:3). "... while we wait for the blessed hope--the appearing of the esteem of our Almighty One [Yahowah] and [His] redeemer, Yeshua the Messiah, ..." (Titus 2:13).

Yeshua said that he could do nothing of himself (Yahchanan 5:19). - Two Separate and Distinct Beings 

Yeshua said only Yahowah knows the time of his return (Yahchanan Mark 13:32). - Two Separate and Distinct Beings 

During the time of Yeshua's life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One Who could redeem him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal redemption for all who obey him (Hebrews 5:7-9).

Yeshua had to walk a course of belief and obedience in order to achieve perfection. By achieving perfection, Yeshua “became” the source of eternal redemption.

Yeshua is his and our FATHER Yahowah's representative here on earth or in the world. Yeshua is our advocate, intercessor and the spokesman of his and our FATHER Yahowah's word in this last time period.

"Jesus IS God!"?

Father Yahowah made Moshe a mighty one ["god"] UNTO PHARAOH. Moshe received his might, strength, power and authority from Father Yahowah. Moshe was not "God." The same is true of Yeshua the prophesied prophet like unto Moshe.

Nowhere in Scripture are we ever asked to believe and confess "Jesus IS God!" What we are asked to believe and confess in accordance with Scripture is that Yeshua is the Messiah the son of the living Yahowah. Nowhere in Scripture is it ever said or taught "Jesus IS God!" Nowhere in the so-called "New Testament" is Yeshua ever recorded as proclaiming 'I am God!'

"The LORD of hosts" is not in reference to the Messiah, but is in reference to the Messiah's Father Who is in heaven.

FATHER Yahowah ["the LORD"] made His SON Yeshua Master ["Lord"] and Messiah. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that Yahowah has made that same Yeshua, whom you have executed, both Master ["Lord"] and the Messiah (Acts 2:36). Yeshua is not Yahowah ["the LORD"], but is Master ["Lord"] that his and our FATHER Yahowah ["the LORD"] made His SON Yeshua to be in that He had GIVEN him power (authority).

I deny the foolish, false, deceptive, and demonic doctrine "Deity of Jesus Christ", but I do not deny that Yeshua is the Messiah and our high priest the SON of FATHER Yahowah.

Absolute proof that the "Jesus IS God!" doctrine is a false doctrine not taught in Scripture from where we are to get our doctrine for reproof and correction and instruction in righteousness - Yeshua said that his and our Father Yahowah IS IN HEAVEN when he himself was HERE ON EARTH.

The SON HERE ON EARTH [OR "IN THE WORLD"] speaking to his and our FATHER Yahowah WHO IS IN HEAVEN: "FATHER, if You are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but Yours be done."

AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN APPEARED TO HIM AND STRENGTHENED HIM. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. "Why are you sleeping?" he asked them. "Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation" (Luke 22:42-46).

Scripture clearly teaches that it was FATHER Yahowah "ALONE", "BY HIMSELF", with "NO ONE BESIDE HIM" that created the heavens and the earth and ALL THINGS IN THEM. Yeshua credits his and our Father Yahowah for creation: "But at the beginning of creation Yahowah 'made them male and female' (Yahchanan [John] 10:6). Not once will you find Yeshua recorded in the "New Testament" as proclaiming that he had created ANYTHING.

Yeshua is not the Most High or Almighty, since he did say "The Father is greater than I am." Nowhere in Scripture does it ever say or teach "Yeshua is now the Most High."

There is only one true Mighty One - Isaiah 9:6 LXX: For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder: and his name is called the Messenger of great counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him.

The Complete Bible, By Smith and Goodspeed:. "For a child is born to us; and the government will be upon his shoulders; and his name will be called 'Wonderful counselor is God almighty, Father forever, Prince of peace.'"

And without controversy great is the mystery of righteousness: HE [Yeshua] was manifest [MADE KNOWN or REVEALED] in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of malakim, taught unto the nations, believed on in the world, received up into esteem (1 Timothy 3:16).

He who overcomes the world believes that Yeshua is the son of Yahowah, NOT "Jesus is God" (1 Yahchanan [John] 5:5).

Proof that "Jesus IS God!" is a false doctrine:   "... because he has fixed a time which He [Yahowah] will judge the world in righteousness BY [THROUGH] A MAN [Yeshua] whom He [Yahowah] has appointed; and of this He [Yahowah] has given assurance to all by raising him [Yeshua] from the dead” (Acts 7:31).

Proof that Yahowah did not come to earth in human form as many deceptively teach: Yeshua told them, "... I have not come on my own accord, but He [Father Yahowah] sent me."

THE MAN, YESHUA

"For he has set a Day when he will judge the inhabited world, and do it justly, by means of a MAN whom he has designated. And he has given public proof of it by resurrecting THIS MAN from the dead" (Acts 17:31 -- Jewish New Testament).

MANY times in the "New Testament" Yeshua is referred to as "A MAN" or "son of man" (which means "MAN"), but not once is Yeshua ever referred to as "an angel" or "a god."

The Messiah was huMAN he came in the flesh and was given reference to as "a man" or "son of man" (which in turn means man). He was BORN of a woMAN and had the same origin as all men. Since he had the same origin as all men, then he did not pre-exist his birth as an actual being that was with his and our Father Yahowah in the beginning because we did not pre-exist our birth.

Before his death, Yahshua was referred to as "man," or "the son of man," approximately 65 times as recorded in Scripture. After his resurrection, even after he ascended into heaven, he was referred to as "man," or "son of man," more than 30 times. Total equals more than 95 times.

Scripture teaches that Yeshua had the same origin as all men, so Yeshua did not pre-exist his birth as an actual being as many deceptively teach, since we did not pre-exist our birth as actual beings.

Yeshua came in the flesh or was born or came into existence in the flesh.

When we were born we came into existence or took on the form of man just as Yeshua did. Scripture teaches that the MAN Yeshua had the same origin as all MEN. We as MANkind had no origin as pre-existent beings, so Yeshua the Messiah had no origin as a pre-existent being either. Yeshua did NOT say that he and his Father Yahowah were "one and the same being" as many deceptively teach. He said that they were "one" and that we also can be "one" with Father Yahowah just as they are "one".

ONE

We also can become one with Father Yahowah just as His son is one with Him: I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one EVEN AS WE ARE ONE-- ... (Yahchanan [John] 17:22).

And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, ... (Acts 2:46).

And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch (Acts 5:12).

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place (Acts 2:1).

And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did (Acts 8:6).

It seemed right unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, ... (Acts 15:25).

Fulfil you my joy, that you be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind (Philippians 2:2).

The Messiah being "made perfect" proves that he is not "God", since our Heavenly Father and Creator has no need of being "made perfect", since He was and is already perfect.

The Messiah being said to have "learned obedience" proves that he is not "God", since our Heavenly Father and Creator has no need of learning obedience.

Father Yahowah sent His son into the world just as He had sent the former prophets of old into the world. Note that it is only John that conveys Yeshua saying that he "came down from heaven."

The fact that Yeshua is recorded in Scripture communicating ["praying"] to his and our Heavenly Father and Creator in Heaven when he himself was here on earth or "in the world" proves that he is not "God." This fact alone is what first convinced me that the doctrine "Jesus IS God!" is false and deceptive.

I AM

Yeshua did not say "I AM the I AM." When Yeshua said "I am" he was giving reference to himself just as anyone else would say "I am" in reference to themselves. When Yeshua said "Before Abraham was, I am," he was speaking of his preeminence over Abraham in answer to the Sanhedrin's question "Are you greater than our father Abraham?" Yeshua was not saying that he existed before Abraham.

Yeshua did not anoint and appoint himself to reign as King for 1,000 years. It was his and our Father Yahowah Who anointed and appointed His son Yeshua to reign as King for 1,000 years. Father Yahowah has no need to be anointed and appointed to reign as King, since He has been reigning King Supreme since the very beginning. So, Yahowah can not be the Messiah as many erroneously teach.

I do not believe what the Pharisees falsely accused Yeshua of making himself out to be (God), but I instead believe Yeshua when he said he was the son of Yahowah. I question whether they actually accused him of making himself out to be "God", since not once is Yeshua recorded in the "New Tesament" as proclaiming to the Pharisees that he was "God" in accordance with the translations. Many erroneously take the side of the Sanhedrin in that Yeshua was making himself out to be "God" or equal with "God" instead of taking Yeshua's side in his clearly proclaiming to be the Messiah the son of Yahowah.

"Even the Jews understood what Jesus meant."? The agenda of the Jews was not to understand Yeshua, but it was their agenda to entrap him in his words in falsely accusing him of breaking the Sabbath and making himself out to be "God" (Mattithyah [Matthew] 22:15).

Preexistence? Virgin Birth?
