Excerpts
from the book In Search Of
A Savior
In
Search Of The True Savior
If
Christian
scholars would
conduct a truly unbiased study of the Holy Scriptures concerning the
prophesied Savior, they would find, as many who seek Scriptural truth
have, that the prophesied
Savior is NOT the savior proclaimed by the
Christian world
today.
The
prophesied Savior did indeed
come, and He
actually did live and die, as the prophets accurately foretold. The
true Savior, according to Scriptural prophecy, would have lived and
died before the temple and the city of Jerusalem were destroyed in 70
c.e.
We will
study Volumes One and Two
of the Book
of Yahweh, which are commonly known as the Old and New Testaments;
concerning the prophesied Savior Who the prophets and apostles
presented to us.
We will
also study the so-called
savior
Christianity promotes. Most importantly, we will enable the reader to
learn, from his very own Bible, the identity of the true Savior.
Let
us
first examine the prophesied
Savior
the prophets and apostles proclaimed—the true Savior.
The
Name Of The
Savior Presented
By The
Prophets
One
of the first things we
should
learn in our search for the true Savior is His Name. The importance of
knowing this Man's Name cannot be overstated. Names were and are very
important to the Hebrew people, and their meanings are of great
significance, not only to individuals, but also to entire families.
The
name Jesus is
an
invention of man which in no way carries the meaning of the true Name
of this Man mentioned in the New Testament. The simple fact (which is
easily proven from authoritative sources) is that this man was born a
Hebrew and He had a Hebrew name. There is no such name as Jesus in the
Hebrew language.
Reading
from The
Encyclopedia Judaica, Volume
10, page 10, we find that the supposed name Jesus is
actually
the common Greek form of the Hebrew name Joshua.
JESUS
(d.
30
c.e.), whom Christianity
sees as its founder and object of faith, was a Jew who lived
toward
the end of the Second Commonwealth period.
THE
NAME, BIRTH, AND DEATH DATE
OF JESUS. Jesus
is the common
Greek form of the Hebrew
name Joshua.
Jesus' father, Joseph, his mother, Mary (in Heb. Miriam), and his
brothers James (in Heb. Yaaqob), Joses (Yahseph), Judah, and Simon
(Mark 6:3) likewise bore very popular Hebrew names.
The
Encyclopedia
Judaica,
Volume 12, page 805, gives us additional
information,
concerning the Hebrew spelling of Joshua, which is yod-heh-waw-shin-ayin.
This
source also points out to us that
this Name, correctly pronounced Yahshua, is a compound name constructed
with the Tetragrammaton,which is the Name: YAHWEH,
.
The
Name Yahshua follows the common practice among the true worshippers of
Yahweh, in forming and using compound names which brought glory to
Yahweh's Name.
The
Jewish
Encyclopedia, Volume 9, page 153, tells us this about
compound
names which glorify Yahweh:
A
distinctive characteristic of
Bible
onomatology is the frequency of composite names, which form at times
even complete sentences, as in the case of Isaiah's son Shear-jashub
(="the remnant shall return").
In the majority of cases these composite
names are theophorous, referring to, or actually mentioning...the name
of YHWH.>
The
Interpreter's Dictionary, Volume 3, page 505, tells us:
There
is an
increasing tendency, especially in
the 7th Century b.c. to use
compound names
which state a fact
or express a wish... The most numerous are names compounded with
'YAH'... which number over 150 and are almost entirely personal or
family names.
The
Name Yahshua is
just such
a compound Name. It is a combination of Yahweh's Name in a personal
name (YAH: yod-heh) and SHUA
(shin-ayin),
which means salvation. The
Hebrew-English Lexicon of the Old
Testament, by Brown, Driver, and Briggs, page 221, tells us
that
the Name Yahshua means Yahweh is salvation.
The Hebraic Tongue
Restored, by
Fabre d'Olivet, page 462, gives us this information concerning the
Hebrew word, shua. We find that this word comes
from the word yasha:
Gesenius'
Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon To The Old Testament,
page
811, tells us:
The
Hebrew-English Lexicon of the Old Testament, by
Brown,
Driver, and Briggs, page 447, tells us about the word yasha.
Thus
we
have 
+
(yod-heh-waw-shin-ayin).
This name is
correctly pronounced YAH-SHU-A,
since the letter
waw in this compound is silent, just as The
Hebraic Tongue Restored, by Fabre d'Olivet, pages
112-113,
tells
us.
Conjunctive
or
Convertible Article.--This
article in uniting nouns, causes the
movement of nothingness, of which the character W becomes the sign, as
we have seen: in making actions pass from one time to another, it
exercises upon them the convertible faculty of which this same
character is the universal emblem. Its conjunctive movement can be
rendered by: and,
also, thus,
then, afterward,
that, etc. But
its convertible movement is not expressible in our tongue and
I do
not know of any in which it can be expressed. In order to perceive it
one must feel the Hebraic genius.
We
have
sufficient proof showing that the Name of
Yahweh has
been
completely erased from the Holy Scriptures, and from common knowledge
and use altogether, because of the man-made traditions of our
forefathers and rabbis.
The
Century Bible, Volume
1, pages 90-91, tells us the
following.
Some
time after the return from
the Captivity,
and before the beginning of the Christian Era, the Yahdaim
(Jews)
came to believe that the Holy Name yahweh was too sacred to be uttered
on ordinary occasions. It was said to be pronounced by the
High
Priest on the Day of Atonement. At other times, when any one
read
or quoted aloud from what is called the Old Testament, the word "Adonay",
"Lord," was usually substituted for YAHWEH, and similarly the
LXX
(Septuagint Version) has Kurios, the Vulgate dominus,
and the e.v. lord, where the Hebrew
has YAHWEH. Hebrew was
originally
written without vowels, but when the "vowel points" were added, the
vowels of "Adonay" or "Elohim" were written with YAHWEH, as a
direction that these words were to be read instead of the word whose
consonants were YAHWEH; thus we find the combinations YeHoWaH
and
YeHoWiH. At the Reformation, the former being the more usual, was
sometimes used as the Name of the (Mighty One) of Israyl, and owing to
ignorance of its history was misread as "Jehovah," a form which has
established itself in English, but does not give the pronunciation of
the Holy Name it represents.
The
Prophet Yeremyah
warned that this
practice of removing Yahweh's Name would be handed down to us from the
unfaithful priests, interpreters and scribes, when the Hebrew
Scriptures were first translated to Greek, then to Latin, and finally
to English.
Yeremyah
8:8—
How
can you say; We are the
wise, and the Law of
Yahweh is
with us? Behold, the lying pen of the scribes has falsified
them,
and written them wrong!
That's
why, today, we have foolish sounding names
like
"Jesus",'
which do not honor or glorify our Heavenly Father Yahweh, because they
carry none of the original intent and meaning.
The
Empty
Name "Jesus''
The
New
Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume
7,
pages 970-971, tells
us of
the name Jesus:
JESUS
(THE NAME). In
English the name Jesus
is a transliteration of the Latin form Iesus, which
represents
the Greek form 
of
the Hebrew
name ye-šûa`. The
latter is a late form, by vowel
dissimilation,
of
the name yôšûa`,
itself a contracted form of yhôšûa`,
"Yahweh is salvation." This was the name of Moses' successor.
*Josue (Joshua), son of Nun. Both because of the fame of this early
hero of Israel and because of the meaning of the name, many men both in
the OT and in the NT bore the name of Josue or Jesus. The Septuigint
generally uses the Greek form 
where
the Hebrew
text has the form yôšûa`
or y'hôšûa`.
So also the NT, in referring to Josue, son of Nun, calls him Jesus
(Acts 7:45; Heb 4:8). An allusion is made in Mt. 1:21 to the meaning of
the name ("Yahweh is salvation"): Joseph is told by
the angel of
the Lord to name the child born of Mary's virginal conception "Jesus,
for he shall save his people from their sins."
The
Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, by
Kittel
and
Bromley, Volume 3, page 289, tells us:
The
Dictionary of New
Testament Theology, Volume 2, pages 330-331, gives
us more
information about this widely accepted, yet incorrect name.
OT
Ie-sous
is the Gk. form of the OT Jewish
name Ye-šûa`,
arrived at by transcribing the Heb. and adding an -s to the nom. to
facilitate declension. Ye-šûa`
(Joshua)
seems
to have come into general use about the time of the Babylonian exile in
place of the older Yehôsûa
. The LXX rendered
both the
ancient and more recent forms of the
name uniformly as Ie-sous...
It is the oldest
name
containing the devine name Yahweh, and means "Yahweh is help" or
"Yahweh is salvation"
(cf. the vb. yasa`, help,
save).
Joshua also appears in one post-exilic passage in the Heb. ot (Neh.
8:17) as Ye-šûa` the son of Nun,
and not as in
the
older texts Yehôšoa.
The
Encyclopedia
Dictionary of the Bible, by Louis
Hartman, pages
1141-1142,
shows us this:
Jesus.
This
name in english
is
a
transcription of the Latin Jesus, which represents the Greek form, of
the
Hebrew name, yeša`
(à Jesua), itself
a late form, by vowel dissimilation, of yoša`
(Jesua), a contracted form of yehosa`
, "Yahweh is salvation."
The
form
Yeshua or Jesus was a
deliberate change
from the original
Name Yahshua, as the same pages of this same source shows:
Jesua.
In
the
last few
centuries
before
Christ the personal name, yosa was
pronounced
and written as yeša.
The
Harper Bible Dictionary,
by Paul Achtemeier, page 474, shows
us that the form Yeshua
or
Jesus is
not even a Hebrew name.
Jeshua
(jesh´oo-uh;
Heb.,
"Yahweh is salvation"), the Aramaic form of Joshua.
Rather
than this name being
correctly
written and spoken YAHSHUA
(containing Yahweh's powerful
Name), its new form was
Yeshua,
meaning He
will save. Not only was Yahweh's Name removed from the
correct
Name, Yahshua written in its new form, Yeshua, but Yahweh's power was
removed from it as well.
This
new
name (Yeshua) was being
used as
the
replacement for Yahshua's true Name, by the time the Septuagint
(LXX) was
beginning to be
translated. The Greek word written in this
version to replace the name that had replaced Yahshua's Name, is 
- a direct transliteration of the
Hebrew word Yeshua.
The
next
version of the Bible,
after the
Greek Septuagint (LXX), was the Vulgate—attributed
to
Jerome.
In the year 383 C.E., Jerome began to work on this Latin Version. He
undertook the revision of the Old Testament directly from the
Septuagint Version.
In
the
Septuagint, the Name of
Yahweh was
replaced with the Greek word, Kyrios - Lord.
In
the Latin
Vulgate, Jerome directly translated the Greek word Kyrios
- Lord
to the Latin word for Lord
- Dominus.
In
the Latin
Vulgate, Jerome transliterated the Greek word
to
the Latin, Iesus.
Unger's
Bible Dictionary, page 1113, tells us of the
earliest, early
Versions of the translated English Bibles.
TRANSLATIONS,
ENGLISH BIBLE.
1.
Early Versions.
There were
portions
of the Bible, and possibly the
entire work, rendered into the English vernacular very early in the
history of the language. These,
however, were all made from the
Latin, and not from the original Hebrew.
The
early Versions directly
translated
the Latin word Dominus
to the modern English word we all know today as Lord,
which is
still causing the world to forget Yahweh's Name for Baal (Yeremyah
23:27).
In early
versions, the Greek word Ie-sous
was shortened to the Latin Iesus.
It was not until the
year 1064 C.E. that the popular name Jesus,
was placed
in the Scriptures. There was not even a "J" sound
in the
English language until that century. We must remember also, the fact
that there is no "J" in the Hebrew language. Even
the modern
English "J" was not
in use
until the sixteenth century of our
own Common Era.
Collier's
Encyclopedia, copyright 1957, page 289, gives us these facts:
"J"
the tenth letter of the English
alphabet, has no ancient ancestor, unless, as a recent variant of "I"
and "i" ...Not until the sixteenth century was any
systematic
effort made to differentiate vocalic "i" with the
sign "i"
and consonantal "i" with the sign "J"
"J" the
capital, was introduced at that time...
The
name Jesus is not even a
transliteration.
It is
a
corruption
of a
transliteration of a Hebrew word which had the mighty
and powerful Name of Yahweh removed from its original meaning.
The
Theological Dictionary Of The New Testament, Kittel
and
Bromiley, Volume 3, page 284, tells us that the name Jesus (Iesous)
is a Greek form of the Hebrew proper Name Yahshua ().
Keep in mind, however, that this name Jesus carries none of the meaning
of the original Hebrew Name Yahshua, which means Yahweh
is
salvation.
In
fact, on page 290, this
same work
not only tells us that the
name "Jesus" fails to convey any of the
glory of Yahweh (which is contained in the Name Yahshua),
but
also that
it
is actually
the masculine
form of the name of a pagan Goddess.
This
is only further evidence
of the
literary license which the established Christian religions, led by the
Catholic Church, have taken with the Scriptures. I should point out
here, that they have done this without authority from our Heavenly
Father Who said "Do not add to or take away from this word which I
have given you."
The First Council of Nicaea and
the "missing records"
Up
until the First
Council of
Nicaea,
the Roman aristocracy
primarily
worshipped two Greek gods_Apollo and Zeus_but the great bulk of common
people
idolised either Julius Caesar or Mithras (The Romanised version of the
Persian
deity Mithra). Caesar was deified by the Roman Senate after his death
(15 March
44 bc) and subsequently venerated as "the Divine Julius". The word
"Saviour"
was affixed to his name, its literal meaning being "one who sows the
seed", i.e., he was a phallic god. Julius Caesar was hailed as "God
made manifest and universal Saviour of human life", and his successor
Augustus was called the "ancestral God and Saviour of the whole human
race" (Man and his Gods, Homer Smith, Little, Brown & Co.,
Boston,
1952). Emperor Nero (54-68), whose original name was Lucius Domitius
Ahenobarbus (37-68), was immortalised on his coins as the "Saviour of
mankind" (ibid.). The Divine Julius as Roman Saviour and "Father of
the Empire" was considered "God" among the Roman rabble for more
than 300 years. He was the deity in some Western presbyters' texts, but
was not
recognised in Eastern or Oriental writings.
Constantine's
intention at
Nicaea was to create an
entirely new god for
his empire who would unite all religious factions under one deity.
Presbyters were asked to debate and decide who their new god would be.
Delegates argued among themselves, expressing personal motive for
inclusion of
particular writings that promoted the finer traits of their own special
deity.
Throughout the meeting, howling factions were immersed in heated
debates, and
the names of 53 gods were tabled for discussion. "As yet, no God had
been
selected by the council, and so they balloted in order to determine
that
matter... For one year and five months the balloting lasted..." (God's
Book of Eskra, Prof. S.L. MacGuire's translation, Salisbury, 1922,
chapter
xlviii, paragraphs 36, 41).
At the end of
that time, Constantine
returned to the gathering
to discover
that the presbyters had not agreed on a new deity but had balloted down
to a
short list of five prospects: Caesar, Krishna, Mithra, Horus and Zeus
(Historia
Ecclesiastica, Eusebius, c. 325). Constantine
was the ruling
spirit at
Nicaea and he ultimately decided upon a new god for them. To
involve
British factions, he ruled that the name of the Druid god, Hesus, be
joined
with the Eastern Saviour-god, Krishna (Krishna is Sanskrit for Christ),
and
thus Hesus
Krishna would be the official name of the new
Roman god. A
vote was taken and it was with a majority show of hands (161 votes to
157) that
both divinities become one God. Following long-standing heathen custom,
Constantine
used the official gathering and the Roman apotheosis decree to legally
deify
two deities as one,
and
did so by
democratic consent.
A
new god
was proclaimed and "officially" ratified by Constantine (Acta
Concilii Nicaeni, 1618). That purely political act
of deification effectively
and legally placed Hesus and Krishna among the Roman gods as one
individual
composite.
That abstraction lent Earthly existence to
amalgamated doctrines
of the Empire's
new religion;
and because there was
no letter
"J" in alphabets until around the ninth century, the name
subsequently evolved into "Jesus Christ".

If
the
Christians could turn the
Name of a
man, Yahshua, Who all authorities agree was a
righteous Man,
and Whose Name glorifies Yahweh, into the name of a detestable pagan
God (Jesus), then how much more could they twist this Man's teachings
to say that He taught against Yahweh's Laws?
The
shocking fact is that the
Christians
(led
by the Catholic Church) have accomplished both of these things, and
have convinced the whole world (including the vast majority of
Israylites) that these lies are truth. I challenge you to believe
Yahweh and His Word, instead of believing lying preachers who desire to
"do away'' with Yahweh's Laws - the very Laws (as we have seen) that
will bring peace, joy and eternal life to all who abide by them.
The
truth
about this lying
propaganda comes
as a complete surprise to the Christian believers who will not study
for themselves. To them, everything in the Scriptures is a surprise.
It's just like the teaching of their preachers, that Yahshua (Whom they
call Jesus) and the twelve disciples "did away" with the Laws of
Yahweh in the New Testament teachings.
We,
should be above accepting as
facts the
words of lying propaganda, without checking these teachings out for
ourselves, with what the Scriptures themselves truly state.
One
of
the most cherished ideas of
the
pagans, absorbed by the Christians, was that of the trinity of Gods.
The savior whom the entire Christian world worships at this time is
nothing more than the continuation of the pagan trinity. The fact that
this doctrine did not officially become formulated until centuries
after Yahshua's death, attests to the fact that this doctrine does not
come from Yahweh's Laws and prophets.
The
New
Bible Dictionary, 2nd edition
by J.D. Douglass, page 1221, admits that the doctrine of the trinity
does not come from the Scriptures, but from philosphy influenced by
paganism.
TRINITY.
The
word Trinity is not
found in the Bible, and though used by Tertullian in the last decade of
the 2nd century, it did not find a place formally in the theology of
the church till the 4th century.
It is, however, the distinctive
and all-comprehensive doctrine of the Christian faith. It makes three
affirmations: that there is but one God, that the Father, the Son, and
the Spirit is each God, and that the Father, the Son, and the Spirit is
each a distinct Person. In this form it has become the faith of the
church since it received its first full formulation at the hands of
Tertullian Athanasius and Augustine.
The
Encyclopedia
Britannica,
Micropedia Volume 11, page 928, gives us the following facts about the
trinity.
TRINITY,
in
Christian doctrine, the
unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead.
Neither
the word Trinity
nor the
explicit
doctrine appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and
his
followers
intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: "Hear, O Israel:
The Lord our God is one Lord" (Deuteronomy 6:4). The doctrine
developed gradually
over
several centuries and through many controversies.
The
Abingdon
Dictionary of Living
Religions,
page 767, tells
us:
TRINITY
(Ch).
The
Dogma, formulated
authoritatively in fourth century church Councils, that
Christians
worship one God in three persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) and one
substance.
Under
pressure
to explain
to a hostile
Roman
world how Christians counted themselves monotheists,
Christian
apologists (notably Justin Martyr, d. 165) combined
Johannine
and Stoic-Platonic
understanding
of the term Logos
("Reason,"
or "Word") in
order to maintain
that the Son was both God's own
self-expression and a being distinct from him.
We
see that the term logos
was
defined by the Christians according to the interpretations of pagan
influenced philosophers in order to promote a false pagan God-savior in
the Encyclopedia Britannica, Volume 7, page
449.
LOGOS
(Greek:"word,"reason,
or plan"),
plural logoi, in
Greek philosophy and theology, the
divine reason implicit in the cosmos, ordering it and giving it form
and meaning. Though
the concept
defined by the term logos is found
in Greek, Indian, Egyptian, and Persian philosophical and theological
systems, it became particularly significant in Christian writings and
doctrines to describe or define the role of Jesus Christ as the
principle of God active in the creation and the continuation
structuring of the cosmos
and in
revealing the divine plan of
salvation to man. It thus underlies the basic Christian doctrine of the
pre-existence of Jesus.
The
identification
of Jesus with the
logos was further developed in the early church but more on the basis
of Greek philosophical ideas than on Old Testament motifs.
The
Religions of Ancient Greece
and
Babylonia, by A. H. Sayce. pages 229-230, clearly tells us
that the
Greek philosophical ideas were developed in Alexandria, Egypt from the
pagan mystery religions.
Many
of the
theories of Egyptian
religion,
modified and transformed no doubt, have penetrated into the theology of
Christian Europe,
and form, as it
were, part of the woof in the web
of modern religious thought. Christian
theology was largely
organized and nurtured in the schools of Alexandria, and Alexandria was
not only the meetingplace of East and West, it was also the
place
where the decrepit theology of Egypt was revivified by contact with the
speculative philosophy of Greece.
Perhaps,
however, the
indebtedness of
Christian theological theory to ancient Egyptian dogma is nowhere more
striking than in the doctrine of the Trinity. The very terms
used
of it by Christian theologians meet us again in the inscriptions and
papyri of Egypt.
Originally
the trinity
was a triad
like
those we find in Babylonian mythology. The triad consisted of a divine
father,
wife, and son.
The
father became the son
and the son
the
father through all time, and of both alike the mother was but another
form.
The
Outline
of History, by H.
G. Wells. page 307, tells us:
The
trinity
consisted of the god Serapis
(=Osiris+Apis),
the goddess Isis
(=Hathor,
the
cow-moon goddess), and the child-god Horus.
In one way or
another almost every other god was identified with one or other of
these three aspects of the one god, even the sun god Mithras
of the
Persians. And they were each other; they were three, but they were also
one.
It is from the pagan mystery
religions
that the Greek philosophers developed the idea of logos as The New
International Dictionary of New Testament Theology, Volume 3,
page
1085, tells us:
Among
the systems
offering an explanation of
the world in terms of the logos,
there are the Mystery
Religions.
These cultic
communities did not see their task as lying
in the communication of knowledge of a scientific nature, but of
mysteries to their initiates who strove for purification in the
recurrent enactment of sacred actions. The Foundation
for these
cultic actions was Sacred Text. Among them were the cults
of
Dionysus, the Pytha-goreans, and the Orphic Mysteries. By means of
these cults, non- Greek
thought, such
as in the
Isis-Osiris Mysteries, which Osiris-- the
logos created
by Isis7 is the spiritual image of the world. Similarly in the cult
of Hermes, Hermes informed his son Tat in the Sacred Text belonging to
the cult, how by God's mercy, he became logos,
and thus a son
of God. As
such, he (Hermes)
brought regulation and form into
world, but himself remained a mediating
being between God and
matter, on one side, and God and man on the other. The
logos
can also, however, appear as the son of Hermes, resulting in
a
triple (trinity) gradation: God (who
is Zeus), Son
(Hermes), and LOGOS.
As
the Encyclopedia
Judaica
told us earlier, in order to bring forth the false, pagan, pre-existent
God-savior, Christianity was forced to change and reinterpret the
writings of Volume Two of The Holy Scriptures. The Encyclopedia
Judaica admits that Yahshua and the Apostles did not break
nor
teach the breaking of Yahweh's Laws. But Christianity has falsely
translated their words to bring forth a savior who "did away with
Yahweh's Laws."
The
True
Savior Is Not A Pagan God
The Encyclopedia
Judaica,
Volume 5, page 509, tells us that there is NO VALID REASON FOR DOUBTING
the HISTORICAL REALITY of Yahshua.
JESUS
AND HIS FIRST DISCIPLES. As
has
been indicated before, the teaching and activity of Jesus cannot be
properly described under the heading "Christianity."
There
is no valid reason
for doubting
his
historical reality or assuming him to be a purely mythical figure.
There
is, however, great
reason to
doubt what the Christians say about Him. As we have read and proven so
far, paganism, not the Laws of Yahweh, is the driving force of
Christianity. The Encyclopedia
Judaica,
Volume 5, page 511,
admits this fact.
With
its spread
among the gentiles, the
pagan characteristics of Christianity gained in influence,
and
after Constantine the Great and the adoption of Christianity as the
official religion of the Roman Empire, the traditional
Hellenistic-pagan forms of civic, social, and cultural anti-Semitism
(see *Apion) merged with the specifically Christian theological motifs
to form an amalgam that has left a tragic legacy to history.
In
this tragic legacy to
history left
by Christianity, the most tragic has been the twisting of the Holy
Scriptures to fit pagan doctrines, beliefs and philosophy; rather than
allowing them to fit Yahweh's Laws and prophets, the way they were
originally written. The Encyclopedia
Judaica, Volume 10, page
10, acknowledges that this is exactly what the church has done.
Both
of the chief
sources of the Synoptic
Gospels, the old account, and the collection of Jesus' sayings,
were produced in the primitive Christian congregation in Jerusalem, and
were translated
into Greek from
Aramaic or Hebrew.
They
contained the picture of Jesus as seen by the disciples who knew him. The
present Gospels
are redactions of
these two sources, which were
often changed as a result of ecclesiastical tendentiousness.
Most
shocking of all, the
Roman
Catholic Church herself admits
to the forgery of the Holy Scriptures. The
Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 6, page 136, gives us this
admission.
"Substitution
of false
documents and
tampering with genuine ones was quite a trade in the Middle Ages.
Innocent III (1198) points out nine species of forgery[of
ecclesiastical records] which had come under his notice.
But
such frauds of
the Church
were
not
confined to the Middle Ages; they
begin even with the beginning of
the Church and
infest every period
of its history for fifteen
hundred years and defile
nearly
every document, both of "Scriptures"
and of Church aggrandizement. As truly said by Collins, in his
celebrated Discourse
of Free
Thinking:
"In
Short, these
frauds are very
common in all books which are published by priests or priestly men... For
it is certain they
may plead the
authority of the Fathers for
Forgery, Corruption and mangling of Authors, with more reason
than
for any of their Articles of Faith.."(p.96.)
So
by forging, altering, and
changing
the Holy Scriptures, including the inspired record of Yahshua's
teachings, Christianity has brought forth a pagan God-savior and a way
of life in complete opposition to Yahweh's Laws.
One
of
the greatest pagan
deceptions ever
passed off to this world as truth by the Roman Catholic Church is that
of a pre-existent
God-savior
who is part of a trinity of Gods. This
very idea is pagan in
origin.
We will now see how the Christians
twisted The Holy Scriptures to get away with it.
The
Encyclopedia
Judaica,
Volume
12,
page 1061, agrees that the original versions of Volume Two of the Holy
Scriptures did not teach a pre-existent God-savior.
The
spirit of
Judaism is discernible even in
the compositions originally written in this popular Greek. The New
Testament is still far removed from the absolute deification of Jesus,
and even more so from the LATER idea of the Trinity.
We
will now examine some of
the
Scriptures the Christians were "forced" to twist and mistranslate in
order to deceive their followers. One thing is certain though, they
were not able to twist all of them and there are plenty of Scriptures
that contradict the "Pre-Existence Fraud," even in the King
James
Version.
The
Words of
Yahshua
There is nothing recorded
in Volume
Two
of the Holy Scriptures that ever quotes Yahshua as saying He was either
an equal part of a trinity with Yahweh or that He pre-existed with
Yahweh. On the contrary, everything Yahshua spoke showed He was in
complete submission to His Heavenly Father Yahweh and to His Laws, as
we all should be.
Yahshua
taught the Law of Yahweh
exclusively,
and Yahweh's Law teaches that Yahweh is one and that we are to serve
and worship Yahweh only.
Yahchanan
Mark 12:28-30—
28
Then one of the
scribes came, and
listened
to all their discussion, and had noted how well He answered. So he
asked
Him; What is the first commandment of all?
29
And Yahshua answered
Him: The
first of
all
the commandments
is: Hear, O
Israyl, Yahweh is our Father.
Yahweh is one.
30
And
you must love Yahweh your
Father
with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your might.
Deuteronomy
6:4-5—
4
Hear,
O Israyl, Yahweh is our
Father.
Yahweh is one.
5
And
you must love Yahweh your
Father
with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
Mattithyah
4:10—
Then
Yahshua said to
her; You get
away,
Satan!
For it is written: Yahweh
your
Father you must reverence, and Him
only you must serve!
Deuteronomy
6:13—
Yahweh
your Father you
must reverence,
and
Him you must serve,
and by His
Name you must take your oaths.
Mattithyah
23:9—
And
you must not pray
to or worship
any man on earth as a "Father," for you
have only
One Father, Who
is
in heaven.
Yahchanan
14:28—
You
have heard that I
told you: I go
away,
but
come again to you. If you loved Me, you
would have
rejoiced
that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
Yahchanan
12:49-50—
49
For I have not
spoken on My own;
but the
Father Who sent Me gave Me the Laws—what I should say and
what I should
speak.
50
And I know that His
Laws are life
everlasting; so whatever I speak, I
am saying exactly what
My Father has told Me to say.
Mattithyah
24:36—
But
no man knows
that day nor
hour.
No, not even the malakim in heaven, but
My Father only.
Mattithyah
19:16-17—
16
And behold, one came
to Him, and
said;
Teacher, what righteous thing may I do, so that I may have eternal
life?
17
But He said to him:
Why do you
question
Me
about righteousness? There is only One Who is the standard of
perfection, and that is Yahweh; so
if you would enter into life,
keep the Laws of Yahweh .
The
Teachings
Of The Apostles
The apostles taught that
Yahshua was
a
mortal man, not a pre-existent God-savior. They taught that He was
tempted like all men are tempted.
Hebrews
4:15—
For
we do not have a
High Priest Who
cannot
sympathize with our weaknesses, but
was in all ways tempted
as we are—yet was without
sin.
They also taught that
Yahweh,
however,
cannot be tempted.
Yaaqob
1:13—
Let no one
say when he
is tempted: I
am
tempted by Yahweh; for
Yahweh
cannot be tempted with evil,
nor
does He tempt anyone.
The apostles also taught
that Yahshua
died.
Yahchanan
Mark 15:37—
Then
Yahshua cried with
a loud
voice, and
died.
The apostles also taught
that Yahweh
raised Yahshua from the dead.
Acts
2:32—
This
Yahshua, has Yahweh
raised up,
and
of this we are all witnesses!
It is a Scriptural fact
that Yahweh
is
immortal, that He cannot die. So if Yahweh and Yahshua are the same
being (as Christianity teaches) how could one die and the other live to
raise the one who died? This simply makes no sense, but neither does
any Christian doctrine. Notice what the Apostle Shaul wrote, speaking
of Yahweh.
I
Timothy
6:16—
Who
alone has
immortality,
dwelling
in
the light which no man can approach unto; Whom no man has seen,
nor can see; to Whom belongs
honor
and
power everlasting.
HalleluYahweh! Praise
Yahweh!
In
this verse, we also read that no
man
has ever seen Yahweh, yet Yahshua most definitely was seen.
The
Pagan Logos
In order to justify their
claim that
Yahshua is Yahweh and that He pre-existed with Yahweh, the Christians
quote the following Scripture from the King
James Version.
John
1:1-5, KJV—
1 In the beginning was
the Word, and
the
Word
was with God, and the Word was God.
2
The same was in the
beginning with
God.
3
All things were made
by him; and
without
him
was not anything made that was made.
4
In him was life; and
the life was
the
light
of men.
5
And the light shineth
in darkness;
and the
darkness comprehended it not.
The
word word in
these verses
comes from the Greek word logos. The Christians, so
eager to
promote the pagan Trinity, attached to the word every pagan
interpretation. But they deliberately ignore the fact that Yahchanan
was a Jew who had nothing to do with pagan Greek philosophy.
The
Wycliffe Bible
Encyclopedia,
Moody Press, Chicago, IL, Volume 2 pages 1046-1047. gives us the
following information.
Many
scholars
have argued that the apostle
John had this philosophical development in the back of his mind when he
wrote the prologue to his Gospel and that he actually tried to impart
some of these concepts. For a long time many have contended that the
background of the fourth Gospel was essentially Hellenistic rather than
Hebraic. In dealing with such an assertion we may note that studies in
the Dead Sea scrolls have tended to confirm the traditional
conservative position that the cultural orientation of the Gospel
of John was Hebraic.
Moreover, we
must observe that John was a
simple fisherman from Palestine. While he did come to live in the
sophisticated city of Ephesus, probably after the fall of Jerusalem in
a.d. 70, there
is no evidence
that he imbibed any of that city's Gr. philosophical
orientation.
If he intended to be philosophical in the first few verses, he
certainly was not anywhere else.
We may argue that John used the
word "logos." which was common in the language of the day, in its
ordinary meaning and poured into it a spiritual significance.
This
source admits that Yahchanan
used
this word in its ordinary meaning. They further admit that Yahchanan's
writings were Hebraic.
The
Encyclopedia
Judaica, Volume
12,
page 1060, admits that the style of most of the writings in Volume Two
of the Holy Scriptures is, in fact, Hebraic.
THE
LANGUAGE OF THE NEW
TESTAMENT.
Although
the language of
the New Testament, in the form that it exists
today, is Greek, two
earlier
influences are still discernible.
(1) THE
INFLUENCE OF THE ARAMAIC-HEBREW
ORIGINAL.
Because most of the
authors were Jewish Nazarenes, they
spoke, for the most part, Aramaic, and some also mishnaic Hebrew. This
influence, which was detectable particularly in the original versions
of Mark and Matthew, survives to some degree in their extant Greek
versions and in several of the Epistles as well, including James and
Jude. The rest
of the works were
originally written in Greek.
(2) THE
SEPTUAGINT.
Since this
translation was used by many authors, the New Testament contains not
only Aramaic words and phrases, which the disciples heard from Jesus
and took care to remember out of reverence for their master (e.g.
Talitha Kumi (Mark 5:41), Kum, Rabboni, Eli, Eli (Elohi, Elohi) lama
sabachthani (Matt. 27:46; Mark 15:24)), but also expressions
and
phrases which retain their Hebrew flavor although they were transmitted
through the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible.
So
to assert that the Apostle
Yahchanan
was writing of a pagan logos is absurd. The word logos
in its
ordinary meaning comes from the Hebrew word dabar
as Thayer's
Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament, page 380 shows.
A
Hebrew and Chaldee
Lexicon to
the
Old Testament,
by Julius Furst, page 312 shows
us that the
Hebrew
word dabar refers to Yahweh's Plan and
His Laws.
The
Interpreter's
Dictionary,
Volulme 4 pages 870-871, states emphatically:
"The
word of God" 
is used of:
(a)
the OT
law (cf. Mark 7:13=Matt
15:6, where it is contrasted with the tradition of the Jews); (b) a
particular OT passage (cf. John 10:35, referring to Ps.
82:6); (c) in
a more general sense, God's revealed will, or his whole plan and
purpose for mankind (cf. Luke 11:28; Rom. 9:6; Col. 1:25-27,
where
it is defined as the "mystery hidden for ages and generations
but
now manifest to his saints..., which is Christ in you"; Heb.
4:12);
(d) the word preached by Jesus (cf. Luke 5:1;
perhaps also
11:28, cited in c above); and the referenced made by Jesus to
the
word of God which he has preached (described as "his word"or "thy
word," according to the context) in John 5:38; 8:55; 17:6; etc.;
So Yahchanan wrote, under
inspiration,
not of a pre-existent God-savior, but of the wonderful Plan of Yahweh. The
Anchor Bible, Ephesians 1-3, page 111, shows us
from the
Talmud
that seven things were in Yahweh's mind, His Plan, from the beginning
and this plan included the Savior.
IN
THE TALMUD tractate
Pesachim
54a; cf. Nedarim 39b,
seven
things, i.e. the law, repentance,
paradise, Gehinnom, the throne of glory, the heavenly sanctuary, and the
messiah are not called pre-created, but pre-conceived in (Yahweh's)
thoughts.
With all this in mind, let us read
the
correct translation of the following Scripture.
Yahchanan
1:1-5—
1 In the beginning was the plan of
Yahweh,
and the plan was with Yahweh, and the plan was Yahweh's.
2
The same plan
was
in the
beginning with Yahweh.
3
All things were done
according to
it, and
without it nothing was done, that was done.
4
In
this plan was
life, and
that
life was the light to mankind.
5
Now that light
shines in the darkness,
but the darkness does not take hold of it.
The
Law of Yahweh, which Yahshua and
the apostles preached, plainly tells us that Yahweh is one.
Deuteronomy
6:4-5—
4 Hear, O
Israyl,
Yahweh is our
Father. Yahweh
is one.
5
And you must love
Yahweh your
Father with
all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
The prophets further
testified that
Yahweh is the only source of power and there is no pagan God with Him
at all.
Isayah
43:10-12—
10 You are My
witnesses, says
Yahweh,
and My servants whom I have chosen; so you may know and believe Me, and
understand that I
am He! before
me there was no God (el)
formed, nor
will there be after
Me.
11
I, even I, am
Yahweh; and
beside Me there
is no savior.
12
I have declared, and
I have
saved, and I
have showed; and no strange god (el) is among you! Therefore, you are
My
witnesses, says Yahweh: that I AM
YAHWEH!
Isayah
44:8—
Do not
fear, nor be
afraid. Have I
not told
you from that time, and have declared; You are My
witnesses! Is
there a source of power except Me? Truly, there is no
other rock; I know not
one.
Isayah
45:6,18—
6 So that
they may know
from the
rising of
the
sun to the place of its setting that There is none
besides me. I am Yahweh, and there is no other!
18
For this is what
Yahweh, Who
created the
heavens, Who is the
Father,
Who
formed the earth and made it,
Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to
be inhabited, says: I
am
Yahweh, and there is no
other source of power!
It should now be obvious to anyone
that
the apostles, as well as the prophets, did not believe in or teach a
pre-existent God-savior. The apostles clearly taught against pagan
Godworship, the same worship all Christianity teaches today.
Romans
1:20-25—
20
For since the
creation of the
world, the
invisible things of Him are clearly seen—His eternal power
and
holiness—being understood by the things that are written; so
that they
are without excuse.
21
Because
that, when they knew
Yahweh,
they did not glorify Him as Father, nor were
thankful, but
became idolatrous;
Godworshipers
(worshipers of elohim), in
their reasoning, and their
senseless minds were darkened.
22
Professing
themselves to be wise,
they
became fools; simpletons,
23
And
exchanged the glory of the
uncorruptible Father for images, made to resemble corruptible man, and
birds, four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
24
Therefore, Yahweh
also gave them
up to
uncleanness through the lusts of their own minds, to dishonor their own
bodies between themselves:
25
Who
exchanged the truth of Yahweh
for
the Lie; Lords (Baalim), Gods, and
Goddesses
(Elohim), and worshiped and served the
creation, rather than the creator,
Who is blessed forever. Praise
Yahweh! HalleluYahweh!
I
Corinthians 10:20-22—
20
But I say that the things
which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to Yahweh;
and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.
21
You
cannot drink the cup of
Yahweh
and
the cup of demons; you cannot partake of Yahweh's table and of the
table of demons.
22
Do
we provoke Yahweh to jealousy?
are
we stronger than He ?
II
Corinthians 6:14-18—
14
Do not be unequally
yoked
together with
unbelievers. For
what fellowship
has righteousness with
unright-eousness? and what fellowship does light have with darkness?
15
And what harmony can
there be
between
Messiah and Belial; Worthlessness:
Satan? Or what
share does a
believer have with an infidel; untrustworthy,
not faithful, not
true nor loyal?
16
And
what agreement does The House
of
Yahweh have with Gods (elohim)? for we are The House of the living
Father. As Yahweh has said: I will dwell in them and walk among them. I
will be their Father, and they will be my people.
17
Therefore:
come out from among
them
and
be separate, says Yahweh. Do not touch the unclean thing, and
I will receive you.
18
I will be a Father
to you, and
you will
be
My sons and daughters, says Yahweh Almighty.
II
Corinthians 4:4—
For
the god (el) of
this world
(Satan) has blinded
the minds of
those who do not
believe, so that the light of the
message of the glory of the Messiah, Who is the image of Yahweh, should
not shine unto them.
Romans
6:15-16—
15
What? May we
sin as though we are not
under the Law, yet under Yahweh's undeserved
pardon? by no
means!
16
Do
you not know that to whom you
yield
yourselves as servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey—whether
of sin, which leads to death, or of
obedience, which
leads to righteousness?
I
Yahchanan 3:7-9—
7
Little children, let
no man deceive you;
he who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
8
He
who commits sin is of the devil,
for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son
of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil.
9
Whoever is begotten
of Yahweh does
not
commit sin; for His seed remains in Him; and it is possible for him not
to sin, because he has been begotten of Yahweh.
I
Yahchanan
5:18-21—
18
We
know that whoever is born of
Yahweh
does not sin; but he who has been begotten of Yahweh keeps himself, and
the evil one does not touch him.
19
We know that we
belong to Yahweh,
and
that
the whole world is under the control of the evil one.
20
And we know that the
Son of
Yahweh has
come, and has given us an understanding, in order that we may know Him
Who is true; and we are in Him Who is true, for we are in His Son,
Yahshua. Yahweh
is
the true
Father, and eternal life.
21
Little
children, keep yourselves
from the
defilement of Gods (elohim).
Revelation
18:2-5—
2
And he cried mightily
with a
strong voice,
saying: Babylon
the great is
fallen, is fallen, and is become the
habitation of demons,
and the hold
of every foul spirit, and a cage
of every unclean and hateful bird.
3
Gor
all nations have drunk of the
wine
of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have
committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have
grown rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4
And I heard another
voice from
heaven,
saying: Come
out of her, My
people, so that you do not partake in
her sins, and so that you do not receive of her plagues,
5
For
her sins have reached unto
heaven,
and Yahweh has remembered her iniquities!
However, the apostles
knew Yahweh's
Plan which called for a man to be born who would be sacrificed for the
past sins of many. They also knew that this man would be raised again
by Yahweh.
Yahweh
And
Yahshua, Two Different
Beings
Some of those trying to
support the
deception of a pre-existent savior argue that Yahshua and Yahweh are
the same being. They also argue that Yahshua was Yahweh of the Old
Testament. These arguments held up to the light of the Scriptures
plainly show that Yahshua and Yahweh are two different Beings.
Acts
3:13-15—
13 The
Father of
Abraham, Isaac, and
Yaaqob,
the Father of our fathers, glorified His Servant Yahshua, Whom you
handed over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was
determined to release Him.
14
However, you
denied the holy one and
the just, and demanded that a murderer should be released to you;
15
And killed the
Prince of Life, Whom
Yahweh raised from the dead.
Of
this we are witnesses.
Who
raised Yahshua from the dead? It
was Yahweh the Father. The Scriptures say that it
is Yahweh Who
raises the dead.
Yahchanan
5:21—
For as the
Father
raises up the
dead, and
gives them life, so also the Son offers life to those whom Yahweh
wills.
Yahshua
could not raise Himself,
since
the Scriptures say that He was the One Who was dead. It takes the power
of someone who is alive and who has power over death to raise a person
from the dead.
In Acts
3:15, we are
emphatically
told that Someone was Yahweh, the Father of Abraham, Isaac, and Yaaqob.
This should prove to anyone that Yahweh and Yahshua Messiah are two
different beings.
Yahshua
Messiah:
First A Mortal
Man, Then
The Mediator Of The Renewed Covenant
In the Holy Scriptures,
we
read:
Hebrews
9:15—
And for
this reason He
is the mediator
of
the renewed covenant,
under which,
through the means of death to
bring redemption from transgressions committed under the covenant, the
first who are called may receive the promise of the eternal
inheritance.
This
Scripture tells us, plainly,
that
because Yahshua Messiah was willing to give up His life for the Plan of
Yahweh, He became the Mediator of the renewed Covenant.
Any
reliable dictionary will tell
you that
the word death used in Hebrews 9:15,
means the act
of dying; permanent ending of all life in a person, animal, or plant.
The Holy
Scriptures also confirm
the fact
that to become dead means to become senseless.
Ecclesiastes
9:5—
For the
living know
that they will
die; but
the dead do not know anything; they have no further reward, and even
the memory of them is forgotten.
It
is a Scriptural fact that one who
is
dead does not even know that he is dead. Yahshua Messiah did not know
anything during the three days and three nights He was dead. Therefore,
He most certainly did not raise Himself from the dead.
Yahshua
Messiah did die; all life
ceased to
exist in His body. He was dead for three days and three nights.
Yahweh,
however, was alive; Yahweh
is
immortal. Yahweh cannot die.
Yahweh
could not
have been Yahshua, because
the Holy Scriptures say that Yahshua died.
The word mortal
from The
New
World Dictionary of the American Language, comes from the
word mortis,
which means death,
akin to
the word mori, which means to
die. Therefore, Yahshua Messiah was mortal. Yahshua Messiah
died.
The word immortal
from this
same
dictionary, means not
mortal; deathless.
Yahweh is
immortal. Yahweh could
not have
died. Dying is an impossibility for an immortal being.
Yahshua
Messiah was not immortal at
that
time. He was made subject to death.
Hebrews
2:9—
But we see
Yahshua, Who also
was
made
a little lower than the malakim, crowned with glory and honor because
of His having suffered death, in order that He,
through the
love of Yahweh, might taste death for everyone.
Yahshua
died; Yahshua suffered death,
proving by His dying that He was not
an
immortal, pre-existent Being.
Yahshua
Messiah From
His Mother's
Womb
—
From His Birth
King
David spoke prophetically as
though Yahshua was doing the talking in:
Psalm
22:9-10—
9 But you took Me from My mother's
womb,
Yahweh! You
made Me trust in You,
even from My mother's breast.
10
I was cast upon You
from My
birth; from
My mother's womb, You are My Strength.
The
word for word Hebrew translation
of Psalm 22:9-10, from The NIV
Interlinear Hebrew-English
Old Testament shows the word from in
these Scriptures:
The
Dictionary of Old Testament
Words for English Readers,
says that the Hebrew letter, mem,
which has been circled in the previous copy, is
prefixed to a
substantive, which denotes the preposition.
However,
it is The
Hebraic Tongue
Restored,
by Fabre d'Olivet, which tells us what these prepositions mean when the
Hebrew letter mem is prefixed.
EXTRACTIVE
OR PARTITIVE
ARTICLE.__The
movement which this article expresses, with nouns or actions that it
modifies, is that by which a noun or an action is taken for the means,
for the instrument, by which they are divided in their essence, or
drawn from the midst of several other nouns or similar actions. I
render it ordinarily by from, out

The
New
World Dictionary of the
American Language, Second College Edition, gives a complete
definition of the word from as beginning at, starting
with,
out of.
The word
translated from in
Psalm
22:10, means beginning
at,
starting
with.
Yahshua
is prophetically pictured
through
King David to say that Yahweh was His strength from the beginning,
starting with the point Yahshua Messiah was conceived in His mother's
womb. Yahweh was Yahshua's strength.
This
can
only mean one thing: that
before
Yahshua was in His mother's womb, Yahweh was not His strength, because
Yahshua
did not
yet exist.
He had no need of strength. Yahweh was only
Yahshua's strength, beginning at, starting with, His mother's womb.
Yahshua Messiah, Beginning In
The
Flesh
Most
people in this world do not
realize the importance of understanding and believing exactly what
Yahweh says about Yahshua's beginning.
To
believe in a pre-existent savior
is just
as detrimental to our salvation as believing in a savior other than
Yahshua Messiah, Who was sent by Yahweh.
As
incredible as it may sound, the
doctrine
of a pre-existent savior was being taught even before Yahshua Messiah
was born. This doctrine was condemned by the apostles. The apostles
called those who taught it anti-Messiahs.
II
John
1:7, KJV—
For many deceivers are entered into
the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This
is a deceiver and an anti-christ.
The
word translated come in
this Scripture is word #2064 in Strong's
Greek Dictionary, the
word erchomai, and means to
come or go in a great variety
of applications.
The
Greek-English Lexicon by
Liddell and Scott, Oxford tells us that this Greek word means to
start.
Thayer's
Greek-English Lexicon
shows the Greek word #2064, erchomai on pages
250-251 and shows
that one of these definitions means to come into being,
arise, come
forth, show itself, find place or influence.
The
Concordant
Version of the Sacred
Scriptures,
shows us the
word for word ancient translation of: II
Yahchanan 7—
Accordingly,
this verse should
read:
II
Yahchanan 1:7-
For many
deceivers have
gone out
into the
world, who do not confess Yahshua Messiah as having begun in
the flesh. This is a deceiver and an Anti-Messiah!
Then, by
reading I Yahchanan
4:2-3,
we should realize the importance the apostles placed upon following the
Savior sent by Yahweh. However, just by reading this in the King
James Version,
one would
not be able to realize the importance.
I
John
4:2-3, KJV—
2 Hereby
know ye the
Spirit of God:
Every
spirit that confesseth
that
Jesus is
come
in the
flesh, is
of God:
3
And every spirit that
confesseth not
that Jesus is come in the flesh is not
of God: and this
is that spirit
of
anti-christ,
whereof ye have
heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Every
place the word come is
used in the King James
Version of I
Yahchanan 4:2-3, it
is the same
Greek word that
was used in II Yahchanan 1:7, the
word erchomai. Like the word come in
II Yahchanan
1:7, the true meaning of this word in I Yahchanan
4:2-3 is
not apparent in the King
James Version.
However, the meaning of
this word becomes clearer when other Scriptures that use the word erchomai
are compared.
John
1:9, KJV—
That
was
the true Light, which
lighteth every man
that cometh
into the world.
The
word translated cometh in Yahchanan
1:9, is also the same
Greek word that is translated come in
I Yahchanan 4:2-3 and II Yahchanan 1:7 which
is
rendered erchomai in Strong's Greek Dictionary.
Everyone
agrees that for any man to
come
into
the world that man has to
begin in the flesh. That
is exactly the context of the word cometh in Yahchanan
1:9.
For a
man, any man, to come into
the world,
this means that man has
to
be born.
Our
Savior sent by Yahweh, Yahshua
Messiah,
was conceived,
which
means to start
life in the
womb.
It is
vital that we understand how
important
it is for us to believe in the Savior Who was promised by Yahweh, Who
was conceived in His mother's womb Who
was not
pre-existent.
This
understanding about the Savior
sent by
Yahweh, a Savior Who did not pre-exist, becomes apparent when one
understands the true meaning of the Greek word, erchomai,
used
in II Yahchanan 1:7, I Yahchanan 4:2-3, and
Yahchanan 1:9.
Correctly
translated in The Book of
Yahweh, we read:
II
Yahchanan 1:7—
For many
deceivers have
gone out
into the
world, who do
not confess Yahshua
Messiah as having begun
in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an anti-Messiah!
I
Yahchanan
2:18—
Little
children, this
is the last
hour; and
as you have heard that the Anti-Messiah will come, even now
there
are many Anti-messiahs; by this we know that this is the last hour.
I
Yahchanan
4:2-3—
2 By this
you will know
the Spirit
of
Yahweh: Every
spirit that confesses that Yahshua Messiah started in the flesh is of
Yahweh,
3
And
every spirit that does not
confess
that Yahshua Messiah started in the flesh is not of Yahweh.
So this
is the spirit of the Anti-Messiah which you
have heard
was
coming, and
is now already in the world.
The
word translated confess-confesseth in
these Scriptures is word #3670 in Strong's
Greek
Dictionary, and means to
assent, covenant, acknowledge.
However, Thayer's
Greek-English Lexicon,
clearly states the meaning of this word as to say the same thing,
not to refuse, not to deny, to confess, to declare openly and
voluntarily implying the yielding or change of one's conviction, to
praise, celebrate.
The
Apostle Yahchanan was
explaining that
those who acknowledge that Yahshua Messiah, the Savior sent by Yahweh
had an existence beginning in the flesh, which was in the womb of
Miriam, are of Yahweh and of the truth.
Anyone who does
not confess:
does not say
the
same thing, refuses,
denies, does not
declare openly and voluntarily,
and does not
praise and
celebrate, that Yahshua's very existence began
or originated in the flesh is not
of Yahweh.
Those who
preach the doctrine of a
pre-existent savior, most assuredly are proclaiming another Savior, not
the one proclaimed through the Holy Scriptures. Therefore, they are
anti-Messiah, just as I Yahchanan says.
I
Yahchanan
4:3—
And every
spirit that
does not
confess that
Yahshua Messiah started in the flesh is not of Yahweh. So
this is
the spirit of the anti-Messiah which you have
heard was coming ,
and is now already in the world.
Yahweh
Is The
Father—Yahweh Is
The Head
Any
authoritative Scriptural
reference
book will give you the following information. Unger's Bible
Dictionary, page 347, tells us of the place and authority of
the
Father.
2.
PLACE
AND AUTHORITY. The
position and authority of the father as the head of the family is
expressly assumed and sanctioned in Scripture as a likeness of that of
the Almighty over his creatures.
It lies, of course, at the root of
that so-called patriarchal government (Gen. 3:16; I Cor. 11:3)... While
the father lived, he continued to
represent the whole family, the
property was held in his name, and all was under his superintendence
and control...
The children, and
even the grandchildren, continued
under the roof of the father and grandfather; they labored on his
account and were the most submissive of his servants. The
property
of the soil, the power of judgment, the civil rights belonged to him
only, and his sons were merely his instruments and assistants...
The father, as the head of the household, had the obligation imposed
upon him of bringing up his children in the fear of God, making
them well acquainted with the precepts of the law, and generally acting
as their instructor and guide
Yahweh
has always revealed
Himself as
our Father. Yahshua Messiah taught His twelve apostles to pray to
Yahweh, and to begin their prayers to Him as "Our Father."
As
you
read for yourself, you will
find
that
Yahshua taught His disciples, those who obeyed Yahweh, to pray in the
following manner.
Luke
11:2—
So He said
to them: When
you pray, using
this example, say:
Our
Father
Who is in heaven,
hallowed
be; to show
reverence and respect
to, Your Name.
Your Kingdom
come. Your will be done; as it is in heaven, so may
it be
in
earth.
In
their
ministry, the disciples
spoke
of Yahweh as the Father of Yahshua, saying this specifically in the
following Scriptures:
Ephesians
1:17—
Asking
that
the Father of
our
King, Yahshua Messiah,
the Father
of glory, may give you the Spirit
of wisdom and revelation; unveiling
and uncovering truths, for
the full knowledge of Him.
I
Kepha
1:3—
Blessed be
Yahweh, the
Father of
our King Yahshua Messiah,
Who,
according to His abundant mercy, has
begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Yahshua
Messiah from the dead;
I
Corinthians 8:5-6—
5 For even
though there
are many
called gods
(elohim), whether in heaven or on earth (As there are many gods;
elohim, and
many lords; baalim.),
6
Yet
to us there is only
One
Authority, the Father, from Whom all things came and for Whom we live.
And there is but one King, Yahshua Messiah, on Whose account are
all things, and on whose account we live
.
However,
to the disobedient,
Yahshua
said:
Yahchanan
8:44—
You are of
your teacher who
is
Satan the
Devil, and
whatever she who is
your teacher desires, you will do.
She was a murderer from the beginning, and remained not in the truth,
because there is no truth in her. Therefore, when
you speak
your falsehoods, you speak her words, because she is a liar, and the
teacher of all lies!
The
Holy Scriptures show that we
accept
one of two beings as our head. We can either accept Yahweh as our
Father (head) or we can accept Satan as our head.
Through
this world's lust to break
the Laws
of Yahweh, they have rejected Yahweh as their Father, while accepting
Satan the adversary as their head. By doing this, they have become the
people of the devil, as the Apostle Shaul describes in the following
Scriptures, because they did not like to retain Yahweh in their
knowledge.
Romans
1:26-32—
26 For this reason Yahweh gave them
up
to
degrading passions:
for even their
women exchanged the natural use
into that which is against nature.
27
And the men did the
same thing:
leaving
the
natural use of the woman, they burned in their lust
for one
another; men committing shameful acts with men, and suffering in their
own bodies the penalty for their error, which is their fitting
retribution.
28
And
so, since they did not like
to
retain Yahweh in their knowledge, Yahweh gave them
over to a
reprobate mind, to do those things which are not proper.
29
Being filled with
all
unrighteousness,
sexual impurity, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy,
murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,
30
Backbiters; slanderers,
haters
of
Yahweh, despiteful, arrogant, and boastful. They are inventors
of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31
And
without understanding. they
are covenant-breakers,
without natural affection, implacable; truce
breakers, and
unmerciful:
32
Who, knowing the
righteous
judgment of
Yahweh, that those who practice such things deserve death, not
only
continue to do these very things, but also approve of those who
practice them.
Yahweh blames the false religious
leaders, the preachers who are the instruments of Satan, for this
worldwide rebellion against Yahweh and His Laws. Notice what the
Prophet Yeremyah was inspired to write.
Yeremyah
23:21-22—
21 I have not sent these prophets,
yet
they ran; I have not spoken of them, yet they prophesied.
22
But if they had
stood in My
counsel, and
had caused My people to hear My words, the
Law and the prophets,
then they would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil
of their doings.
Yes,
if today, the false religious
leaders would teach the way of Yahweh, Who is the Father and the Head,
the people of this world would be turned from sin, which is the
breaking of Yahweh's Law, as I Yahchanan 3:4
emphatically
states, and would be turned to the way of Yahweh.
Yahweh—The
Alpha And Omega?
The
phrase Alpha and Omega is
written four times in the King James Version of the
Scriptures.
However, this phrase should only have been written three times. It was
added to the Scriptures once, in order to infer that it is Yahshua
Messiah Who is Alpha and Omega. Alpha and Omega are first written in:
Revelation
1:8, KJV—
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning
and the ending...
This
Scripture cannot be any
clearer
than it is. This is Yahweh speaking about Himself.
Then,
Alpha and Omega are again
written in:
Revelation
1:11, KJV—
Saying, I
am Alpha and
Omega, the
first and the last...
After
Yahchanan heard this
being
spoken, he turned around to see Who said it (verse 12),
but saw
Yahshua Messiah (verses 13-17). We can see this for
ourselves
in:
Revelation
1:17-18—
17 And
when I saw Him,
I fell at His
feet as
though dead. But He laid His right hand upon me, saying to me: Do
not be afraid; I am the first and the last.
18
I am He
Who lives, but was dead.
And: Behold, I am alive forevermore. HalleluYahweh! And I have the keys
of death and Sheol; the
grave.
In other words Yahshua told Yahchanan
not to be afraid, for He was alive forevermore. Yahshua did not
identify Himself by that title Alpha and Omega.
Then, the
phrase Alpha and Omega is
again
written in Revelation 21:6-7, which is speaking of
Yahweh.
Revelation
21:6-7, KJV—
6 And He
said unto me,
It is done. I
am
Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and
the end. I will give unto him
that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7
He that overcometh
will inherit
all
things;
and I will be
his Father, and
he shall be My son.
Yahweh
is the Father, so it is
definitely Yahweh Who is doing the speaking in this prophecy.
Now,
we
come to the Scripture in
which the
words Alpha and Omega were added, in order to say that Yahshua is
the
Alpha and Omega. This Scripture is Revelation 22:13.
Revelation
22:16 undeniably states that these are Yahshua's words.
Revelation
22:12-17, KJV—
12 And
behold, I come
quickly, and
my reward
is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13
I
am Alpha and Omega,
117the
beginning, and the end, the first and last.
14
Blessed are they
that do his
commandments,
that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through
the gates into the cities.
15
For without are
dogs, and
sorcerers, and
whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and
maketh a lie.
16
I Jesus have sent
mine Angel, to
testify
unto you these things in the Churches. I am the root and the offspring
of David, and the bright and morning star.
17
And the Spirit and
the Bride say,
Come.
And
let him that heareth, say, Come. And let him that is athirst, come. And
whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Notice Footnote
Number
117,
which has been circled in verse 13. The footnote of
this Bible,
shows that the Alexandrian
(NU) and the Vatican
(M) texts omit
the
phrase, Alpha and Omega.
117
NU-Text
and M-Text read the First and
the
Last, the Beginning and the End.
Well,
you might say, "What difference
does it make that those three little words were added to this Scripture
in Revelation 22:13?"
Never
before has there been
a true
understanding of what Yahweh actually said when He identified Himself
as the first and the last.
Since we
know that Yahweh said that
He is
the
first and the last in Revelation 21:6, let us
thoroughly study
the Scriptures to come to Yahweh's truth.
In Revelation
1:8, the
Being Who is
speaking identifies Himself as the Almighty, Who we all know is Yahweh.
Following
is an exact copy of this
Scripture
from The Concordant Version
of the
Sacred Scriptures, which one
can see differs greatly from the more modern Greek Interlinear:
Almost
all English versions
of the
Bible render Revelation 1:8 in the same way the King James
Version is translated.
Revelation
1:8, KJV—
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning
and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is
to come, the
Almighty.
By
merely leaving this text
as it is
written, a tremendous understanding has been lost. However, if these
two Greek letters are researched in detail, one will readily see that
Yahweh is revealing much more about Himself than just being the
beginning and the end.
In
the
Greek alphabet, the letter alpha
is
the first letter, and omega is the last letter.
However, in
the Hebrew Language, in which even the so-called New Testament
Scriptures are now known to have been originally written, the letter aleph
is
the first letter, and the letter tau
is the
last.
It
is an
admitted fact by the
Biblical
scholars that Revelation 1:8 should say in Hebrew:
I
am the ALEPH and
the TAU
instead
of
I
am the ALPHA and OMEGA
The
Anchor Bible,
Revelation
Volume 38, page 379, gives us the explanation of this phrase.
8.
the
Alpha
and the Omega.
The
Hebrew
would be aleph
and
taw, probably standing
respectively
for Urim and Thummim, the
sacred lots of the high
priest used to determine the will of God, and also meaning all
"encompassing."
Adam
Clarke, in his Commentary,
Volume 6, page 971, agrees that alpha and omega
are aleph
and tau in
Hebrew.
[The
beginning and
the ending.] That is, as aleph or
alpha is
the beginning of the
alphabet,
so am I the author and cause of all things; as tau or
omega is the end
or
last letter of the alphabet, so am I
the end of all things, the destroyer as well as the establisher of all
things.
We
would not be any better off,
however, if this Scripture (Revelation 1:8) is
properly
rendered: "I am the Aleph and the Tau." We still would not know what
Yahweh means when He identifies Himself by the first and last letters
of the Hebrew alphabet, unless this is further researched.
The
letters aleph and tau
must be researched to see if they do have a meaning, or message, to
convey.
What the
Bible translators did not
realize
(or they rejected) is that each individual Hebrew letter can be a word
or phrase unto itself, with a specific meaning. This is clearly pointed
out by Fabre d'Olivet in his book, The
Hebraic Tongue Restored.
Dr. d'Olivet gives clear, precise explanations of the meanings of each
individual Hebrew letter, and what they point out or declare. On page
98 of his book, Dr. d'Olivet also states that knowing that each Hebrew
letter has a meaning of its own, is the key to understanding the
Scriptures.
In
reference to the letters aleph
and tau,
Dr. d'Olivet gives clear proof that these two
letters
make statements in their own right.
The first
letter in the Hebrew
alphabet, as
Dr. d'Olivet points out from The
Hebraic
Tongue Restored
on
pages 95 and 287, stands for unity.
On
pages 98 and 465 of this
book, Dr.
d'Olivet clearly points out that the letter tau,
the last
letter of the Hebrew alphabet, means and stands for perfection.
Incredible
as it may sound,
both
single
letters aleph and tau, are in
themselves Hebrew words
that have specific meanings.
As
Clark
in his Commentary,
and the writers of The
Anchor
Bible, Revelation, have shown,
the Alpha
and Omega should have been written: the
Aleph and the Tau.
Now, with the true meanings of
these
Hebrew letters revealed, all can see the statement that Yahweh is
actually making in these Scriptures.
Revelation
1:8—
I
am unity
(Aleph) and perfection
(Tau), the Beginning and the End, says Yahweh: Who
is, and Who was, and
Who is to come: the Almighty.
Other Scriptures verify that Yahweh
is
unity and perfection.
Deuteronomy
6:4—
Hear, O
Israyl, Yahweh
is our Father.
Yahweh is One.
Yahshua
Messiah, a begotten Son of
Yahweh, Who was the Savior sent by Yahweh, taught that Yahweh is
perfection.
Mattithyah
19:17—
But He
said to him: Why
do you
question Me
about righteousness? There
is
only One who is the standard of
perfection, and that is Yahweh; so if you would enter into life, keep
the Laws of Yahweh.
Mattithyah
5:48—
Therefore,
become
perfect, just as your
Father Who is in heaven is perfect.
Yahweh
is revealing Himself
again to
be
unity and perfection. These Scriptures that reveal the Alpha and Omega,
the Aleph and the Tau to be Yahweh Almighty (Revelation 1:8;
1:11;
and 21:6) do not point out Yahshua Messiah. Nor can
Revelation
22:13, in which this phrase was added, be used to claim that
Yahshua Messiah pre-existed.
Yahshua
Messiah: First
And
Last—Beginning
And End
Having
proven that the words Alpha
and
Omega were added to this Scripture, Revelation 22:13,
The
Book Of Yahweh correctly
reads.
Revelation
22:13—_
I
am the
First and the
Last, the
Beginning
and the End.
We know Yahshua said this. We know it
is no contradiction for Him to call Himself the last, for He will live
forever.
We
know it is no
contradiction for
Him to call Himself "the end," for He is the end result of having kept
His Father's Laws perfectly.
Romans
10:4—
For
Yahshua is the ultimate
result of keeping the Law
unto righteousness for everyone
who believes.
The
translators tried to
distort this
Scripture to try to make you believe that Yahshua Messiah ended the
Law. Romans 10:4 taken from the King James Version,
shows us how this Scripture has been distorted.
Romans
10:4, KJV—
For Christ
is the end of
the law for
righteousness to everyone that believeth.
If
you will research the
meanings of
the word translated end in this Scripture, then
you will see
that this word means ultimate,
prophetic purpose, and not end as
is universally understood in the English context.
The word
translated end in
Romans
10:4, as well as Revelation 22:12 is
word #5056,
from Strong's Greek
Dictionary and
means to set out
for a
definite point or goal; prop. the point aimed at as a limit, ultimate
or prophetic, purpose.
Religious
imposters also use Romans
10:4
in order to deceive the people in this world into thinking that Shaul
taught against Yahweh's Laws. The Apostle Shaul never once taught
against the Law of Yahweh. In fact, he taught all to keep Yahweh's Law.
In the same book of Romans, which Shaul wrote, we find the following
Scriptures.
Romans
2:13—
For not
the hearers of
the Law are the
righteous in the sight of Yahweh, but the doers of the Law are the
righteous.
Romans
6:16—
Do you not
know that to
whom you
yield
yourselves as servants to obey, his servants you
are whom you
obey; whether of sin
which leads
to death, or of obedience which
leads to righteousness?
There
are many Scriptures in the book
of Romans, which teach against sin: against breaking the Law of Yahweh (I
Yahchanan 3:4). However, these two should be enough to show
you
that the Apostle Shaul did not teach against the Laws of Yahweh, as the
false religious leaders would have you believe.
Now, in Revelation
22:13,
Yahshua
called Himself the "last" because He has been resurrected to eternal
life, and now He will never die again. He called Himself the "end"
because He is the end product, the ultimate result of keeping the Law
of Yahweh.
What did
He mean when He called
Himself the
first in Revelation 22:13? Did He mean that He was
the first
being to ever exist? Many would have you think so. Did He mean that He
was the Father of all living? There are some who would have you believe
this. Was Yahshua saying that He pre-existed? If
you
will let Scripture interpret the Scriptures, then understanding will
come.
Revelation
1:5—
And from
Yahshua
Messiah; the
faithful
witness, and the firstborn
from the dead ,
and the
Ruler of future kings of the earth. To Him Who loved us and freed us
from our sins by His own blood.
When
Yahshua called Himself
the first
in Revelation 22:13, He made no reference to
pre-existence.
Yahshua simply meant that He was the firstborn from the dead, which
means that He was the first to be raised from the dead and given
eternal life. Because Yahshua was raised from the dead, He is now
immortal, He was the first to be fully created in the full image of
Yahweh. This is what Yahshua meant when He said He was the first, in Revelation
22:13.
What,
then, did He mean
when He
called Himself the beginning in this same
Scripture? Does this
mean that He was in the beginning with Yahweh, as some would also have
you to believe? The answer to this question is found in:
Revelation
3:14—
And to the
malak of the
congregation
of The
House of Yahweh in Laodicea, write: These things says the Faithful and
the True One, the One testifying of the faith and the truth; the
first perfected
of Yahweh's
creation.
In
this Scripture, Yahshua
called
Himself the beginning of the creation of Yahweh.
Yes, man in
his present physical state, is only a half-created being, because we
are still corruptible flesh, as Shaul said.
I
Corinthians 15:53—
For
this corruptible
must put on
incorruption,
and this mortal must
put
on immortality.
We
are still dying in this world. If
you do not believe this, just read the obituaries. Man is only in the
likeness of Yahweh at this time; man was created to resemble Yahweh.
Man has a form just like Yahweh, a head, a chest, arms, legs and feet,
just as Scriptures describe Yahweh as having.
However,
Yahshua Messiah, because
He is the
first to be raised from the dead to eternal life, is now in the full
image of Yahweh. Yahshua is perfected. He has become the first or the
beginning, among men, to reach the state of perfect, completed, whole
creation, as Yahweh's Plan for mankind is.
Therefore, He still has no
reference to
pre-existence in calling Himself the beginning in Revelation
22:13.
Yahshua Messiah simply meant that He was the beginning, the first
perfected of Yahweh's whole creation, or plan for man.
Yahshua:
Now Fully Created,
Mankind: Now
Half Created
Yahshua
Messiah said the following.
Yahchanan
6:44—
No
man can
come to Me,
unless the
Father,
Who has sent Me, draws him; and I
will establish him as a priest
at the last day.
When
we are called out of
this world
by
Yahweh's Holy Spirit and begin to understand the importance of Yahweh's
Holy Scriptures in our lives, we, even then, are only half of the
creation Yahweh requires us to be, in order for us to enter His
Kingdom. To understand this, we must understand the Plan of Yahweh.
When
Yahshua was resurrected from
the dead,
He became the firstborn of many brothers.
Romans
8:29—
For whom
He did
foreknow, He also
did
foreordain to
be conformed
to the image of His Son, that
he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
When
we are conformed to
Yahshua we
will also be conformed to the Father Yahweh, because Yahshua conformed
to be exactly like the Father.
Hebrews
1:3—
Who, being
the reflection
of the
perfection of Yahweh, and the representation of Yahweh's plan, by
upholding all things concerning that which was spoken by Yahweh through
the Law and the prophets,
when He
had purged sin, sat down on the
right hand of Yahweh on high;
The
definition of the word conform from Webster's New World Dictionary of
the
American
Language is
to make the same or
similar, to
bring into harmony or agreement; to
be in accord or agreement.
In order
to receive the reward of
eternal
life, as Yahshua did, we must be conformed to the same image that
Yahshua obtained.
The next
question is, how did
Yahshua
obtain this image? Scriptures show that He was not born with this image
but through a process, He became the perfect creation of Yahweh.
Revelation
3:14—
...the first perfected of Yahweh's
creation...
Yahweh's
perfected creation
becomes
our
hope. We will become perfectly created if we overcome, just as Yahshua
is the first perfected now. Yahshua is only the beginning, the first.
There are many more to be made perfect and to become Yahshua's
brothers, the actual sons of Yahweh.
Colossians
1:18—
For He is
the Head of
the body, the
called
out
ones, Who is the beginning
of the
firstborn from the dead,
so
that in all things He may have the pre-eminence.
Keep
in mind what the Apostle Shaul
said in Romans 10:4. Yahshua is the ultimate result
of keeping
the Law of Yahweh. Now, notice the warning recorded for us in the
following Scriptures.
Romans
16:19—
For your
obedience has
become known
to all.
Therefore, I am glad on your behalf, but I want you to be
wise in
what is righteous and simple, concerning evil .
Then
Comes
Persecution
Yahshua
Messiah was most definitely
persecuted. The thing to understand about these persecutions is that He
benefitted from them. Notice what is recorded for our instruction.
Hebrews
5:8-9—
8 Though
He was a Son,
yet He learned
obedience from the things which He suffered;;
9
Then being perfected,
He became
the Causer
of eternal salvation to all those who obey Him.
It
is a Scriptural fact that Yahshua
Himself learned obedience from the things He suffered. That is, He saw
the cruelty of those who did not follow Yahweh's way, and that
impressed upon Yahshua all the more the need for every person's
obedience to Yahweh's Laws.
Yahshua
experienced the hatred of
those who
were disobedient, and through this suffering He came to despise the
shame that comes with disobedience.
Hebrews
12:1-2—
1
Therefore, since we
are also
surrounded by
such a great cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the
sin which so easily entraps us; and let us run the
race that
is set before us, with endurance,
2
Looking to Yahshua,
the first Who
was led
and perfected by the faith, Who, for the joy that was set before Him:
endured the sacrifice, despising
The Shame; Bosheth: Baal,
Lord, and is
set down at the
right hand of the throne of Yahweh!
Yes,
Yahshua suffered because He
lived
by every Word that proceeded out of the mouth of Yahweh. Because He
lived that kind of life in front of the carnally minded, He suffered
persecution. But through that persecution He became perfect, because
any temptation He experienced quickly disappeared when He saw what was
coming from those carnally minded people who persecuted Him.
Yahshua
Messiah
Tempted In All
Points
Then,
we see another aspect of
Yahshua's trials and suffering in:
Hebrews
2:18—
For in
that He Himself
has suffered, being
tempted; tested and tried, He is able to help
those who are
being tempted.
Yes,
Yahshua Messiah was tempted. He
was human. Therefore, He was subject to temptation. In fact, Yahshua
was tempted in every way we are tempted.
Hebrews
4:15—
For we do
not have a
High Priest Who
cannot
sympathize with our weaknesses, but
was in all ways tempted
as we are—yet
was without
sin.
This one point that
Yahshua was tempted in all ways, sets Yahshua apart from Yahweh,
because Yahweh cannot be tempted.
Yaaqob
1:13—
Let no one
say when he
is tempted: I
am
tempted by Yahweh; for
Yahweh
cannot be tempted with evil, nor does
he tempt anyone .
Yahshua
Messiah Made
Perfect
Through
Suffering
Many
people are not able to see the
result of the sin going on around them. Yet, the world is filled with
people suffering from sins.
However,
when Yahweh calls them out
and
opens
their minds to understanding the importance of His Laws, and they begin
suffering, first hand, the hatred of carnally minded people who hate
Yahweh's Laws, then they are finally able to see the results of sin.
They even come to despise Baal (the lord) just
as
Yahshua Messiah did. That is the reason the Apostle Shaul wrote that we
are actually made perfect through suffering.
Acts
14:22—
They
strengthened the
minds of the
disciples, and
exhorted them to remain firm in the faith, and that we must, through
much tribulation, enter into the Kingdom of Yahweh.
Yahweh
allowed Yahshua to suffer, in
order to make Him see, first hand, the results of sin. It may be
necessary that Yahweh will also have to let each of us suffer before
we, too, fully realize the results of sin. Now let us compare Hebrews
2:10 to Hebrews 5:9.
Hebrews
2:10—
For it was
fitting for
Him—on
account of
Whom are all things and through Whom are
all things, in
bringing many sons to glory-
to
lead the Prince
of their salvation to perfection through sufferings.
Hebrews
5:9—
Then being
perfected, He
became the
causer
of eternal salvation to all those who obey Him.
Hebrews
5:9 from the King
James
Version is rendered differently from The Book Of Yahweh,
and
says:
Hebrews
5:9, KJV—
And being
made perfect,
He became
the author
of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him.
Just
reading the King
James
Version,
one might think that (1) Yahshua was made perfect, and (2) that He was
the author of eternal salvation.
However,
I want you to know that the
translators of the King
James Version lied
to you.
They, as
well as all the false
religious
leaders in this world, want you to think that Yahshua pre-existed and Hebrews
5:9 is one of the Scriptures they try to use to prove their
doctrine. However, there is quite a difference in the meanings of the
verb forms: being made perfect and having been perfected.
The
translators, and deceived
preachers who
teach false doctrines, are the very ones who want
you to also
believe that Yahshua is the author of salvation. They want you to
believe that the Plan of salvation was written by Yahshua, however,
Yahshua is not the author; Yahweh is the author.
The word
translated author
in the King
James Version is word #159, from word #154, in Strong's Greek
Dictionary, and means a
causer, to ask. We are also
instructed to compare word #4441, in order to find the complete meaning
of word #154. Word #4441 means strictly
a demand of something due.
Therefore, because Yahshua Messiah
came to
perfection, He received that which was His due: eternal life, and
became the causer of eternal salvation to all those who obey Yahweh.
Hebrews
13:20-21—
20 Now may
the Father
of peace—the
One
having
brought up out of the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep, our
Redeemer Yahshua, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
21 Make you
perfect in every
righteous
work to do his will;
working in
you that which is well pleasing in
His sight, as
he did in Yahshua
Messiah—to
Whom belongs
the glory
forever and ever. HalleluYahweh!
Life
Or Death?
This
day Yahweh has set
before you
life
and righteousness, through the true Savior sent by Him, High Priest
over The House of Yahweh: Yahshua Messiah.
This day, there is also
set before you
death
and evil through a pre-existent god savior who supposedly "did it all
for you" if you "only believe," even though you continue to practice
evil.
It is your
choice. Yahweh, the kind,
merciful
and loving Heavenly Father asks that you choose life, through Yahshua
Messiah, the true Savior sent from Father Yahweh.

Savior, Yahshua Messiah, please obtain our books:
