J5-23: REMINDER: The New Testament Asserts Yeshua Is The ‘Son Of God’, NOT ‘God The Son’

Many folks will assert that the divine warrior figure who manifested Himself before Joshua was some kind of pre-incarnate apparition of Yeshua.

I’ve already spoken on why such a notion is nonsensical and you can read an article about it by clicking HERE. 

Again, this idea exists because of the gentile church’s trinity doctrine that is read back into God’s Holy Torah.

It leads to questions like…

“Was Yeshua a flesh and blood man just like you an me?”

“Or was he God Himself in human flesh?”

“Or was he some kind of phantom spirit during his short 33 years of life here on planet earth?”

Look, why can’t we just accept what the Scripture says minus all the quibbling?

The testimony of the New Testament asserts that Yeshua was the “Son of God” which is nothing less or more than a Messianic title.

There are a couple of points the stubborn Trinitarian will NEVER be able to successfully address… 

…like all the instances where we find Yeshua praying to God.

Is Yeshua praying to himself?

Obviously not, because he’s praying to a being OUTSIDE OF HIMSELF.

Or how about the night before he was crucified?

We have Yeshua pleading with God that if it be at all possible to “take this cup away from me”.

Is Yeshua bargaining with himself here?

Was he schizophrenic?

Can you see how utterly ridiculous this Roman “3-gods-in-one” doctrine is?

Or how about the moment when John baptized Yeshua?

We’re told the Holy Spirit of Hashem descended upon him (which is Kabbalistic symbolism by the way).

So if Yeshua is 100% God while also being 100% man (whatever the hell that means), at that particular instant was he in someway an incomplete God until the Holy Spirit descended upon him?

Do you see what I’m getting at?

What we’re implying is that if Yeshua was “God”, then at that moment, somehow in some way, he wasn’t enough of God to possess sufficient power to accomplish his mission until the Holy Ghost came upon him.

Hey, I have the Holy Spirit resting inside of me (though many would deny that because I deny the church’s trinity doctrine), because of my faith.

So am I God in human flesh?

The answer to that is…HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NO!

Let’s stick to the fundamentals people…

…and when I say the fundamentals I’m referring to the Torah.

Remember Numbers 23:19.

“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”-Numbers 23:19

There you have it in the most basic grammar in plain simple English.

And I’m pretty sure, the original Hebrew probably says something like…ADONAI LO ADAM.

Let’s not forget that the definition of “divine” differed from how we understand that word now.

Recall that Hashem made Moses an ELOHIM to Pharaoh.

That’s right homies.

Moses was considered a God in human flesh before Pharaoh.

This was the ancient understanding of the word divinity.

The truth is there ain’t a trinitarian in the world who understands the doctrine he or she so arrogantly holds to.

Why?

Because it’s impossible to understand.

It’s a gross violation of the fundamental Principle of Opposites the Lord has woven into the universe.

When we enter a universe where “Yes” can mean “No” and “No” can mean “Yes”, we’ve entered crazy land people.

Can you imagine a dialogue like this between a man and a woman?

MAN: Will you marry me?

WOMAN: My answer is 100% “yes” and 100% “no”.

MAN (scratching his head): Excuse me?

See what I mean?

Let’s replay the same dialogue with regards to Yeshua’s identity.

EARTHLING: Who are you?

YESHUA: I’m 100% man AND 100% God.

EARTHLING (scratching his head): Excuse me?

Of course, you’re never gonna find the word “trinity” or the phrase “100% God and 100% man” anywhere in the Scriptures no matter how powerful a microscope you use to scour the landscape of God’s Word. 

I’m telling you it’s a man-made concocted doctrine superimposed back into the Scriptures.

That’s why at the end of the day, the trinitarian has to chalk it up to just a “mystery” he has to accept on faith.

The Trinitarian will end up saying…

…“I don’t know how it’s possible.  I can’t visualize it.  Nor can I explain it in words.  It is a matter of faith that I accept is true even if it seems impossible.”

So much for the idea that the Lord is not the author of confusion.

Well, I’ll tell you what I accept on faith.

I accept the Scriptural testimony that Yeshua was the Son of God, NOT some aberrational “God the son” which is another phrase you ain’t gonna find anywhere in the Bible.

Simplistic and child-like?

Yes, but hey man, that’s what the Scripture says.

It says Yeshua was the “Son of God”.

It says Yeshua was a “man” (the word man is actually there!  Can you believe it?) who mediated between us and God.

And there are many situations where Yeshua is portrayed as subordinate to God as a separate being from God.

How’s that for accepting something on blind faith?

Yeah man, as many Scriptures as you can pull up to assert that Yeshua was literally a walking Hashem, I can pull out just as many (including the bedrock testimony of the Torah) that he wasn’t.

So don’t be so freakin’ dogmatic with your churchy trinitarian doctrine.

And by the way, do you think Joshua completely understood the nature of the divine figure standing before him wielding a sword?

The answer is no.

Joshua accepted what the God-apparition said to him on faith.

The divine warrior figure didn’t dogmatically demand of Joshua that he accept some doctrine regarding the nature of his divinity.

Nor did Joshua (or any of the apostles) have to pass some ridiculous examination on systematic theology to qualify as a believer.

Joshua instinctively knew to believe what the divine figure who stood in front of him said to him.

He probably remembered the many times Moses shared his incredible encounter with God at the Burning Bush and just trusted that the man standing in front of him carried the very authority of God.

This is a nice and simple illustration of acting on faith given limited information and circumstances.

So for the record…

I believe Yeshua was the Son of God and Israel’s Messiah. 

“And a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.'”-Matthew 3:17

Does Yeshua have some kind of megaphone rigged up in the heavens and is speaking to himself here?

For those who would take the last question seriously, the answer is no.

I also believe Yeshua was crucified for my sins as a mediator between me and Hashem.

“For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Messiah Yeshua”-1 Timothy 2:5

Of course, the Trinitarian will assert that God Himself is mediating for Himself here instantly overturning the very definition of what a mediator is.

I’m not even gonna try and argue this point.

Onward.

And I believed God raised him from the dead, not that Yeshua raised himself up from the dead.

“But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.”-Acts 2:24

I suspect a Trinitarian will respond by pulling out of his pocket these verses:

“This is why the Father loves me: because I lay down my life — in order to take it up again! No one takes it away from me; on the contrary, I lay it down of my own free will. I have the power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it up again. This is what my Father commanded me to do.”-John 10:17-18

Of course, the Trinitarian will conveniently overlook the fact that it was God Himself who gave Yeshua the authority he had.

Or wait, was Yeshua giving authority to himself (thick sarcasm intended)?

Well, there you have it.

My three personal faith assertions that I defended straight from the testimony of the Brit Hadashah.

Alright, this is getting long, so let me close this post.

CONCLUSION: Forcing people to accept some kind of God-man doctrine beyond what is plainly revealed in the Word is deceptive at best and preaching a false gospel at worst.

I’m done.
