ONE LONE YAHWEH

“That men may know that thou, WHOSE NAME ALONE IS YAHWEH, art the most high over all the earth” (Ps. 83:18 KJV).

Scriptures teach us there is only ONE Deity, only one Supreme Being, and that ONE BEING is Yahweh – Yahweh ALONE. There is no other. When the name Yahweh appears in Scriptures, it is in almost every case accompanied with singular pronouns; i.e., I, me, my, mine, he, him, his, etc. This is also true of the title “Elohim.” Hundreds, perhaps thousands of times Scriptures use singular pronouns with the Name Yahweh and the title Elohim, just as they do with the word “El” – proof there is only ONE Yahweh, who is the ONE true Elohim.

In only a few Scriptures “us,” “we,” and “our” are used with Elohim and Yahweh. It is not reasonable to allow these few plural pronouns to negate hundreds of singular pronouns associated with The Name, or with his titles. Shall we accept the few, and X out the hundreds? Surely the answer is no. Instead, we should search for an explanation for the use of the plural pronouns in these few Scriptures. We have done this, so please ask for these separate studies.

The above Scriptures clearly state there is ONE (only one) Yahweh. Scriptures listed below reveal there is ONE (only one) true El or Elohim. El and Elohim are used interchangeable when referring to Yahweh. Some believe that ONE, when referring to Yahweh Elohim, means TWO or MORE. Question: In the following Scripture is it reasonable to believe t hat ONE signifies ONE (truly) in everything named except “ONE Elohim?”

“There is ONE body and ONE Spirit, just as you were called ONE HOPE that belongs to your calling, ONE Master, ONE faith, ONE baptism, ONE ELOHIM and FATHER of us all, who is above all and through all and in all” (Eph. 4:4-6 RSV).

As notes above, some have the notion there is one of everything, except Elohim, which consists of two Beings. If true, then there are TWO FATHERS as well, because ELOHIM IS THE FATHER. However, “Father” is singular, so Elohim must be understood as singular also. Many Scriptures indicate Yahweh the Father is the only true Elohim, and Yahshua is not included. He is separate and apart, as is indicated by the following declaration:

“ … to the ONLY ELOHIM our Savior, THROUGH YAHSHUA the Messiah our Master, be glory, majesty, dominion, and power, before all time, and now, and forevermore” (Jude 25 Sacred Scriptures – Bethel Edition).

So, dear friends, if Yahshua pre-existed, he was not a Yahweh, since there is only ONE Yahweh. Nor was he a true El or Elohim since there is only ONE TRUE El and ONE TRUE Elohim. If Yahshua pre-existed, was he an angel?

“For TO WHAT ANGEL did Yahweh ever say, ‘Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee?’” (Heb. 1:5).

“But TO WHAT ANGEL has he ever said, ‘Sit at my right hand till I make thy enemies a stool for thy feet?’” (Heb. 1:13).

Never did Yahweh say to an angel (any angel), “You are my son, sit here.”

1) If Yahshua pre-existed, he was not an angel (Heb. 1:5, 13; 2:5, 16).

2) If Yahshua pre-existed, he was not an El or an Elohim, since there is ONLY ONE TRUE El and ONE TRUE ELOHIM (Rom 16:26).

3) If Yahshua pre-existed, he was not a Yahweh, since there is ONLY ONE true Yahweh (Isa. 45:5, 6).

THE ARM OF YAHWEH By Voy Wilks 12/10/2001

“If the Supreme Being (YHWH the Father) is so distant he never contacted mankind, but left all action to his Son Yahshua (Yahweh number Two), this makes Yahweh number One an absentee Father. Not a good situation for his offspring" -Toviyah Nelms

It is said,

● After creating Yahshua, Yahweh the Father retired to some distant place, and left all to his Son Yahshua.”

● Yahshua, in a pre-existent state, became the arm of Yahweh.

● Yahshua, the Son of Yahweh, became Yahweh number Two.

● In a pre-existent state Yahshua became the Mighty One of Israel.

● As Yahweh number two, Yahshua became the Creator of all things.

● Yahshua, in a pre-existent state, became the Yahweh of the O.T.

All of these statements are false.

The Arm of Yahweh, Meaning: The Arm and Action of the Supreme Being Himself

Exo 6:6 By his right arm, Yahweh led Israel out of bondage.

Exo 15:6 Yahweh’s right hand shattered the enemy.

Exo 15:8 At the blast of Yahweh’s nostrils the waters piled up.

Deut 4:32-39 There is only one YHWH.

Deut 5:15 Yahweh’s mighty hand and mighty outstretched arm.

Deut 7:19 Yahweh’s hand and outstretched arm.

Deut 9:29 Yahweh’s great power and outstretched arm. Deut 33:26,27 Yahweh rides through the heavens, the everlasting arms.

2 Ch 32:8 With the enemy is an arm of flesh.

Psalm 44:3 Their own arm.

Ps 98:1 Yahweh’s right hand and holy arm gave victory.

Is 33:2 O Yahweh, be our arm every morning.

Is 40:10 Yahweh’s arm rules for him.

Is 51:9 Awake, put on strength, O arm of Yahweh.

Is 53:1-12 To whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?

Is 62:8 Yahweh swears by his right hand, his mighty arm. Acts 13:17 With an up-lifted arm Yahweh led Israel out of Egypt.

Yahweh’s Nostrils

If Yahshua is Yahweh’s arm, perhaps Yahshua is also Yahweh’s Nostrils.

Here are listed the Scriptures:

Ex 15:6-12 At the blast of thy nostrils the waters piled up. Yashua?

2 Sam 22:9 Smoke came up from Yahweh’s nostrils. Yahshua?

Ps 18:8 Smoke went up from Yahweh’s nostrils. Yahshua? Is 65:5 These were smoke in Yahweh’s nostrils. Yahshua? Ex 33:20-23 Perhaps Yahshua was Yahweh’s back.

Enough of this! Let us be sensible. Why not accept the facts presented in Scriptures; that is, the Supreme Being (Yahweh) has arms, hands, eyes, ears, a face, etc. He had at least one finger, because Scriptures tell us he wrote the ten Commandments with his own finger (Ex. 31:18).

Now, if Yahweh intended for mankind to know about these body parts, what words could better convey this information than those used in Scriptures? Why not accept the plain Scriptures, and believe them?

The Father Yahweh is highly pleased with his creation of heaven and earth and all the wonderful things in them (Gen. 1:31).

He is also pleased with his great deeds, such as taking to freedom the nation of Israel from the midst of another nation (Deut. 4:34).

Question: If Yahshua is Yahweh’s arm, who is Yahweh’s outstretched arm? The definition of arm, according to Strong’s Concordance:

“# 2220. the arm (as stretched out) or (of animals) the foreleg; fig. force: - arm + help, mighty, power, shoulder, strength."

Yahshua is likened to the door, the good shepherd, the lamb, the root of David, the lion of the tribe of Judah, etc. (John 10:7,11; Rev. 5:5).

But these are identified as parables (KJV), figures (RSV), not realities (John 10:6).

Isaiah 53:1

Isaiah 52 and 53 speak of salvation which Yahweh brings through his Son Yahshua. As for Isaiah 53:1, keep in mind, we have seen that Yahweh himself has body parts, including an arm. From that right hand and arm comes his great strength and power. It is Yahweh’s own arm, his great strength, which brings salvation. In completing his salvation to man, Yahweh sent his servant (Yahshua) as a sacrifice for sin (Mt. 12:18; Isa. 42:1; 53:11; Zech 3:8; Phil. 2:7 {KJV}; Acts 3:13,26, RSV).

Please keep in mind: "Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him" (John 13:16, RSV).

Yahshua was never the Yahweh of the Old Testament.

Proof: "For when Yahweh made a promise to Abraham, since he had NO ONE GREATER by whom to swear, he swore by himself, ..." (Heb. 6:13) RSV.

There was no one greater than the Yahweh of the Old Testament, the Yahweh who spoke to Abraham, Moses and Elijah. If this Yahweh of the O.T. was Yahshua, he could have sworn by Father Yahweh who was Greater than he (Heb. 6:13; Gen. 22:16; John 14:28). No one is greater than Yahweh of the O.T.

There is only ONE Yahweh (Mark 12:28-34).

YAHWEH ALONE IS GOD

Yahshua (Jesus) said that the FIRST of all commandments was the Yahweh ALONE was God. (Mk 12:29, Deu 6:4)
Yahshua said that His Father was the ONLY true God. (Jn 17:3)
The Apostle Paul penned that there is only ONE God and Father of all, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Yahshua the Messiah. (1 Tim 2:5)
Yahshua said that He was ascending to His God and Father, who is also our God and Father. (Jn 20:17)

Would it not, therefore, be reasonable to conclude that claiming that anyone/anything other than Yahweh (the Father) is God would be the ultimate statement of unbelief, discounting the very foundational precept upon which all other doctrine must be built?

The above statement and question generally arouses extremely passionate responses amongst apologists for so-called "mainstream" or "orthodox" Christianity, which we consider very revealing. The general consensus amongst them is that the nature and identity of the one, true and Almighty God should be interpreted within the context of doctrines that have been developed and passed down through generations of theologians and which bear the stamp of approval of the established religious hierarchies of our generation. We contend that it is the responsibility of each believer to prove all things using the more sure word of prophecy represented by the Scriptures (1Thes 5:21, 2Pet 1:19). Moreover, we contend that the foundational precept upon which all other doctrine must be built (Isa 28:10) is what Yahshua affirmed as the first and greatest of all other precepts: That His Father, Yahweh, is the only true God. Thus, while we recognize that a compelling Scriptural case can be made in support of the doctrine that "Jesus is God," we reject this conclusion because it defies the prevailing premise that Yahweh alone is God.

The apologists for so-called "orthodox Christianity" generally approach this issue in reverse of the Scripturally prescribed manner, effectively concluding that the first and greatest commandment is that "Jesus is God" and interpreting all else accordingly. Thus, in order to reconcile the plainly and repeatedly stated precept that Yahweh the Father is the only true God with the premise that "Jesus is God," they contrive extra-Biblical doctrines like the dual-nature of Christ, that God has multiple identities (trinitarianism), and/or that there is no distinct person represented by Yahshua the Son of God (modalism). All of these stretch and twist reasonable interpretations of countless Scriptures beyond anything necessary to interpret the true meaning of verses that seem to indicate that Yahshua is God in the context that He is the Son of the one true God, and, therefore cannot be God Himself.

This all comes down to what is perceived as the prevailing precept: Either Yahweh the Father ALONE is God OR Yahshua the Son of God is God, also. Judgment of this is not even debatable, as the Scriptures plainly state that the first of all commandments is that Yahweh the Father alone is the one true God; He is Yahshua's God and Father of Yahshua, and He is our God and Father. Moreover, whereas the Scriptures also plainly assert that only Yahweh the Father is God, never (not once) is there any such statement made of Yahshua (Jesus). Even though we concede that some compelling arguments can be put forth to support the latter conclusion, it is, nonetheless, a subjective interpretation which, in our estimation, does not align with the foundation of truth that the Scriptures prescribe. The Scriptures plainly reveal that Yahshua is the Son of man, the Son of God, and the Messiah or Christ -- the doctrine that He is God is a teaching that comes from theological interpretations of the Scriptures, not the Scriptures themselves.

Furthermore, even if it were true, the Scriptures do not compel us to believe in the deity of Christ (that "Jesus is God") as they do our belief in the one, true God who is Yahshua's Father, Yahweh, and our Father. That does not mean that we are not compelled to affirm this doctrine, though. Indeed, quite the contrary is true, but the source of pressure to acknowledge this doctrine is not the Scriptures. The one thing that seems to be universally accepted as defining the "true faith" from cultic heresies is the deity of Christ doctrine. Like the Judaizers of Paul's day who sought to compel Gentile believers to comply with Jewish lifestyle standards, this amounts to unholy coercion to compel people to conform to the beliefs and convictions of men which might otherwise be benign. Rather than simply encouraging believers to search the Scriptures themselves, believers are more or less told that to not affirm that "Jesus is God" will cost them dearly: Those who don't affirm this doctrine are commonly portrayed as unredeemed cultists, heretics, and anti-Christs. In other words, the traditional teachings of the "historic Christian faith" are made equal to the commandments of God by making them a litmus test for who is and is not acceptable within their ranks, a practice that is reminiscent of the Pharisees and scribes of old who were shown to be children of the devil for so doing. As in those days, the inordinate elevation of these doctrines to such a prominent place is more of a problem than the teachings themselves. Yahweh Alone Is God

THE FOUR CREEDS

The Apostles Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

The Nicene Creed, 325

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by Whom all things were made; Who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, and the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead, Whose kingdom shall have no end. And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father and the Son, Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, Who spoke by the prophets. And we believe one holy catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Creed of Chalcedon, 451

Following the holy fathers, therefore, we all with one accord teach the profession of faith in the one identical Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. We declare that He is perfect both in His divinity and in His humanity, truly God and truly man, composed of body and rational soul, that He is consubstantial with the Father in His Divinity, and consubstantial with us in His humanity, like us in every respect except for sin. We declare that in His Divinity, He was begotten of the Father before time, and in His humanity He was begotten in this last age of Mary, the virgin, the mother of God*, for us and our salvation. We declare that the one selfsame Christ, only begotten Son and Lord, must be acknowledged in two natures, without any co-mingling, or change or division or separation, that the distinction between their natures is in no way removed by their union, but rather, that the specific character of each nature is preserved, and they are united in one person and one hypostasis. We declare that He is not split nor divided into two persons, but that there is one, selfsame, only-begotten Son, God the Word, the Lord Jesus Christ. This, the prophets have taught about Him from the beginning; this, Jesus Christ Himself taught us; this, the Creed of the Fathers has handed down to us. *(Note: Theotokos, also translated "God-bearer".)

Creed of Athenasius (Trinitarian Formulation)

Whoever wishes to be saved must, above all, keep the catholic faith. For unless a person keeps this faith whole and entire he will undoubtedly be lost forever.

This is what the catholic faith teaches.

We worship one God in the Trinity and the Trinity in unity. We distinguish among the persons, but we do not divide the substance. For the Father is a distinct person; the Son is a distinct person; and the Holy Spirit is a distinct person. Still the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit have one divinity, equal glory, and co-eternal majesty. What the Father is, the Son is, and the Holy Spirit is. The Father is uncreated, the Son is uncreated, and the Holy Spirit is uncreated. The Father is boundless, the Son is boundless, and the Holy Spirit is boundless. The Father is eternal, the Son is eternal, and the Holy Spirit is eternal. Nevertheless, there are not three eternal beings, but one eternal being. Thus there are not three uncreated beings, nor three boundless beings, but one uncreated being and one boundless being. Likewise, the Father is omnipotent, the Son is omnipotent, and the Holy Spirit is omnipotent. Yet there are not three omnipotent beings, but one omnipotent being. Thus the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. But there are not three gods, but one God. The Father is Lord, the Son is Lord, and the Holy Spirit is Lord. There are not three lords, but one Lord. For according to Christian truth, we must profess that each of the persons individually is God; and according to Christian religion we are forbidden to say that there are three gods or lords. The Father is not made by anyone, nor created by anyone, nor generated by anyone. The Son is not made nor created, but he is generated by the Father alone. The Holy Spirit is not made nor created nor generated, but proceeds from the Father and the Son. There is, then, one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, but not three sons; one Holy Spirit, not three holy spirits. In this Trinity, there is nothing greater, nothing less than anything else. But the entire three persons are co-eternal and coequal with one another. So that, as we have said, we worship complete unity in the Trinity and the Trinity in unity.

This, then, is what he who wishes to be saved must believe about the Trinity.

It is also necessary for eternal salvation that he believes steadfastly in the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. The true faith is: we believe and profess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is both God and man. As God He was begotten of the substance of the Father before time; as man He was born in time of the substance of His Mother. He is perfect God; and He is perfect man, with a rational soul and human flesh. He is equal to the Father in His divinity, but He is inferior to the Father in His humanity. Although He is God and man, He is not two, but one Christ. And He is one, not because His divinity was changed into flesh, but because His humanity was assumed to God. He is one, not at all because of a mingling of substances, but because He is one person. As a rational soul and flesh are one man: so God and man are one Christ. He died for our salvation, descended to hell, arose from the dead on the third day. Ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty, and from there He shall come to judge the living and the dead. At His coming, all men are to arise with their own bodies; and they are to give an account of their lives. Those who have done good deeds will go into eternal life; those who have done evil will go into everlasting fire.

This is the Catholic faith. Everyone must believe it, firmly and steadfastly; otherwise He cannot be saved. Amen.

"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

We should be more concerned about the building up (edification) of the bodily/spiritual temple than a physical temple built with man's hands: However, the Most High dwells not in temples made with hands; as says the prophet, 'HEAVEN IS MY THRONE, AND EARTH IS THE FOOTSTOOL OF MY FEET; WHAT KIND OF HOUSE WILL YOU BUILD FOR ME?' says Yahowah, 'OR WHAT PLACE IS THERE FOR MY REPOSE? [Acts 7:48; Isayah 66:1].
