Yahshua's "Deity"?
Restoration Records Comment: This article was written by a 15 year old girl who researched and studied on her own to come to her conclusions on this controversial subject. "And a little child shall lead them." Restoration Records believes Yahshua ha Notzri (of Nazareth) to be The Messiah. Articles of this nature are our attempt to clarify certain traditional misinterpretations and false doctrines by rightly dividing the Word of Truth and emphasizing the proper order of scriptural principles. They are NOT intended to diminish the power, majesty or importance of the atoning work of Yahshua The Messiah.
Matthew 18 (partial)
At that time the taught ones came to Yahshua, saying, “Who, then, is greatest in the reign of the heavens?” 2And Yahshua called a little child to Him, set him in their midst, 3and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become as little children, you shall by no means enter into the reign of the heavens. 4“Whoever then humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the reign of the heavens. 5“And whoever receives one little child like this in My Name receives Me. 6“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it is better for him that a millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea
Many people believe that The Scriptures say that Yahshua is Yah.
Lets read through these verses I give with an open mind.
Lets look in the beginning…
Genesis 1:26-27 says
"And Elohim said, “Let Us make man in OUR image, according to Our Likeness, and let them rule over the fish in the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the livestock, and over all the earth and over all the creeping creatures that creep on the earth. And Elohim created man in HIS image, in the image of Elohim HE created him-male and female HE created them.”
Now, some people might think that since Yah says Our and Us in verse 26 that that indicates Yahshua is with Yah. If you read verse 27 you see that it says that Elohim created us in HIS image. To me verse 26 indicates that he was speaking in a 3rd person so to say. So we are like Yah. He is our Heavenly father.
WE are like our parents, we are the image of them but we aren’t them.
Restoration Records Comment: See articles on the Hebrew term Elohim by clicking here.
In Exodus 20:3 says, “You have no other mighty ones against My face."
If you were to consider Yahshua is Yah then you are making/worshipping an idol, which is a sin.
Lets look at Numbers 23:19
"El is not a man, to lie; nor a son of man, to repent! Has He said, and would He not do it; or spoken, and would not confirm it?"
"El is not a man" Hmm.. Yahshua was a man. Yah wouldn't lie and say that we haven't seen Him if we have. He wouldn't give His powers up to come to earth when he can send someone for Him. Which He did! Yahshua is the Word/Mouth of Yah!
Lets go to the major one that confuses a lot of people:
Isaiah chapter 9 verse 6 and it reads:
“For a child shall be born unto us, a SON shall be given unto us, and the rule is on His shoulder. And His Name is called Wonder, Counsellor, Strong El, Father of Continuity, Prince of Peace.
So, “there will be a Son born and the rule is on His shoulder,” means that Yah sent His son and He put us in Yahshua’s hands.
Now lets define Continuity:
"Something that is continuous or connected, not broken up the remarks made by an announcer. Strong El means strong mighty one. Moses and several other prophets were called El or Elohim. The other names are pretty self-explanatory."
Restoration Records Comment: In most English scripture versions, Isaiah 9:6 contains the expression "Eternal Father" rather than "Father of Continuity". In Hebrew this is the expression "Av ad olam". This is traditionally interpreted to mean that Yahshua is thus The Father [YHWH] since YHWH is by definition Eternal. However, proper prophetic context of this verse and the many other verses that clearly show YHWH The Father to be the ONLY deity and ever Eternal one disprove this. Other articles at
http://www.restorationrecords.com/articles/refuting_trinity_twinity_deity_index.html show this to be so. Yahshua is called "Father of Continuity" and "Father of Eternity" because he is the "Father" of the resurrection - the first-fruits from among men who was raised by YHWH unto Eternal life. A similar misinterpretation of this verse occurs with the expression "Mighty El" which most English translations translate as "Mighty God". The problem is that in Hebrew, El simply means "mighty" not God (though in English versions every time the Hebrew word "El" is encountered the English word "God" will be used - thus causing confusion since a reader of scripture will naturally interpret "God" in English to be referring only to YHWH). Hence "God" in by most English scripture versions is being used to mean both YHWH and Yahshua creating the impression that they are one and the same. Further, "Mighty God" in the English versions is a redundant expression since as stated above, "El" from which the English versions translate "God" already means Mighty.
Now lets look at the New Covenant:
In Matthew 4 Yahshua was temped. Yah can’t be tempted. If He were I’m sure the tempter would face severe consequences. Satan told Yahshua that if he would bow down and worship him that he would give Yahshua all the world and its esteem (Matt 4:8-9) If Yahshua was Yah then the world would already be his right? That wouldn’t make sense if Satan told Yah to bow down before him. (Matt. 4:1-10)
Mark 12:29-34
"And Yahshua answered him, “ The first of all the commands is. ‘Hear, O Israel, Yah our El, Yah is one. And you shall love Yah your El with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is that first command. “And the second, like it, is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other command greater than these.” And the scribe said to him, “Well said Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one Elohim, and there is no other beside him. And to love Him with all the heart and with all the understanding, and with all the being , and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is more than all the burnt offerings and offerings.” And when Yahshua saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “ You are not far from the reign of Elohim.” And after that no one was bold enough to question Him. "
Right there Yahshua says Yah is ONE there is no other beside him
In Luke 1:1-4
"And it came to be while He was praying in a certain place, as He ceased, one of His taught ones said to Him, “Master, teach us to pray, as Yochanan also taught his taught ones.” And He said to them, “ When you pray, say: Our Father in the heavens, let Your Name be set-apart, let Your reign come, let Your desire be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive our sins, for we also forgive ever. And forgive our sins, for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into trial, but rescue us from the wicked one.”
Throughout the Scriptures Yahshua has prayed to His Father, why, if He were Yah, pray to himself?
Or was he praying to another g-d, which he teaches us not to do?
Now lets go to the biggest misunderstood verses in the New Covenant about this topic, in the book of John.
John 1:1-14
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. He was in the beginning with Elohim. All came to be through Him, and without Him not even one came to be that came to be. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from Elohim, whose name was Yochanan. This one came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all might believe through him. He was not that Light, but that he might bear witness of that Light. He was the true Light, which enlightens every man, coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world came to be through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the authority to become children of Elohim, to those believing in His Name, who were born, not of blood nor the desire of flesh nor of the desire of man, but of Elohim. And the Word became flesh and pitched His tent among us, and we saw His esteem, esteem as if an only brought forth of a father, complete in favor and truth."
Some will think that John 1:1-3 indicates that Yahshua is Yah. But He’s not. When it says “word” that is referring to Yahshua but the Greek word “logos” translated “word” means the divine intention, mind, or purpose. Yahshua was the mouth for Yah. No one has ever seen Yah and that’s the way Yah is going to keep it until judgment day. So Yahshua was sent to spread the truth and die for us. So that would explain verse 14, “And the Word became flesh and pitched His tent among us…” Yah sent His one and only son for us. Yahshua was the SON not Yah himself.
John 3:34-35
"For He whom Elohim has sent speaks the Words of Elohim, for Elohim does not give the Spirit by measure. The Father loves the Son and has given all into His Hands."
So Yah has given Yahshua His word to speak and has put everything into Yahshua’s hands.
John chapter 5 verse 19 and 20 says:
"Therefore Yahshua responded and said to them, “ Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is able to do none at all by Himself, but only that which He sees the Father doing because whatever He does, the Son also likewise. For the father loves the Son, and shows Him all that He Himself does. And greater works than these He is going to show Him, in order that you marvel."
Yahshua said this because the Yehudim thought that since Yahshua was healing on the Shabbat that he was committing a sin. SO basically “like Father like Son.” Yah showed/told Yahshua all the works that he needed to do in order that he would fulfill Yah’s word.
Restoration Records Comment: The expression ""show(s) him" is simply an Hebraic expression intended to describe that YHWH was doing His work through His vessel: Yahshua. Hence Yahshua affirms this by saying that "...the Son is able to do none at all by himself...". Yahshua repeats this teaching in the next verses below.
John 5:30-31
“Of Myself I am unable to do any matter. As I hear, I judge, and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own desire, but the desire of the Father who sent Me. If I bear witness of myself, My witness is not true.”
So Yahshua doesn’t come for Himself but for His Father who sent Him. Hmm. Sounds to me like Yahshua is a servant unto Yah His Father
John 6:38-39
“Because I have come down out of the heaven, not to do My Own desire, but the desire of Him who sent Me. This is the desire of the father who sent Me, that all He has given Me I should not lose of it, but should raise it in the last day.”
Yet again Yahshua has said that He has not come to do for Himself but for His Father. How can that make him actually be Yah?
John 7:16
"Yahshua answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.”
Which Yah was right? So if you were to say that Yahshua and Yah are the same then Yahshua brought Himself down and speaks the words of the one who sent Him, they are not his own? That’s really confusing. Satan is the Master behind confusion not Yah.
John 7:29
“But I know Him, because I am from Him, and he sent Me.”
Yes Yahshua is going to know Yah. That is His Father. He is from Yah.
John 8:16-18
“But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone in it, but I and that father who sent Me. And in your Torah also, it has been written that the witness of two men is true. I am the One who witnesses concerning Myself, and the Father who sent Me witness concerning Me.”
In other words, what Yahshua is saying is true, because Yah is guiding Him. And in John 8:29 it further backs it up.
Restoration Records Comment: Moreover, note that Yahshua here is using the Torah principle of two
or three witnesses to establish every matter. Thus, if he and YHWH are literally one and the same, one would be calling Yahshua a liar - for he would be using only one witness - which is not of the Torah and which is contrary to what Yahshua represents (The Living Torah).
John 10:30
"I and the Father are one."
That just means that when you are married, you and your spouse are one. That doesn’t mean that you are physically your spouse. You are mentally one… You do things together.
Restoration Records Comment: John 10:30 is used routinely but incorrectly by those claiming Yahshua is YHWH and shows a sad disregard for the many verses prior and subsequent to this verse showing that it CANNOT possibly mean that YHWH and Yahshua are literally one and the same. Do yourselves a favor and read the entire chapter 10 in context please. "Ani v Avi Echad" in Hebrew which is the likely expression used by Yahshua here to say "I and my Father are one" does not mean literal oneness but relational oneness as described correctly below as this article continues. See also the article Elohim and Echad at the Restoration records website regarding the correct meaning of Echad.
John 14:9 "Yahshua said him, “Have I been with you so long, and you have not know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father, and how do you say, ‘ Show us the Father’?"
Yahshua does the works of the Father so technically Philip has seen the Father, but Yahshua isn’t literally the Father. Scripture says that we have not seen the Father nor should we try to make images of Him.
Restoration Records Comment: In Hebrew thought a tree is known by its fruit (its output or works). The same is said of men. This is because while man cannot see YHWH they can see His great and mighty works. And we clearly "see" YHWH when we see His great works wrought through His Son Yahshua. This is what Yahshua means when he says that "he who has seen him has seen The Father". Why? Because we have seen the great and mighty works of The Father as wrought through Yahshua. That still does not make Yahshua to be literally YHWH, though it does make Yahshua to be used mightily of and by YHWH. After all Yahshua is the Servant of YHWH. See Isaiah "servant song" passages chps. 11, 52 &, 53.
1st Corinthians 8:6
"For us there is One Elohim, the Father from whom all came and for whom we live, and one Master Yahshua Messiah, through whom all came and through whom we live. "
Elohim we live for, Yahshua we live through. There’s a difference, but how can we live for Yah and also live through Yahshua if they are the same?
1st Corinthians 11:3
"And I wish you to know that the head of every man is Messiah, and the head of woman is man, and the head of Messiah is Elohim."
How can, if Messiah is Elohim, Elohim be head of Messiah? That’s not logical
Titus 1:2
"In everlasting life which Elohim, who does not lie, promised before times of old."
Elohim does not lie!
I hope you learned something from this article. Shalom Yah Bless
