@L Cunningham I know this was not directed to me but thought I’d throw out some passages as per your request since the one you asked does not appear to have answered you yet. Hebrews 10 says jesus was final sacrifice but Ezekiel 36-48 shows the messianic Era has sacrificial system in place. Hebrews 9 says sin is only forgiven with blood but 1 Kings 8, Psalm 37, 51 and Leviticus 5 all point that is a lie. Would you like to discuss any of these in depth?

Greetings. “Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." Matthew 28:16-20 I worship Him with no doubt whatsoever that all authority is His. Thank you Jesus! Have a wonderful night.

Read Luke 4vs 8.. and the root of that verse is in Hebrew Bible... The word worshiping is bowing down .. so people use to bow down to kings .. but our uttermost worshiping and serving should be to Jehova... Jesus said the father is looking for those who will worshiping him in truth and spirit.. not Jesus

@@frankkhethanidubedube919 even in heaven as John is given a vision, we see a scene of those in heaven singing a new song (worshipping) the Lamb: “And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth. Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!" And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne AND to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!" And the four living creatures said, "Amen!" and the elders fell down and worshiped. Revelation 5:8-14 i Worship the Lord in Spirit & Truth! Jesus said I AM, the way the TRUTH, the life. I encourage you to repent and believe.

Although Jesus was Jewish, he did not fulfill any of the other Messianic criteria. An examination of the contradictory accounts of Jesus’ genealogy demonstrates this. Specifically, the New Testament claims that Jesus did not have a physical father. The Bible, however, clearly states that a person’s genealogy and tribal membership is transmitted exclusively through one’s physical father (Numbers 1:18, Jeremiah 33:17). Therefore, Jesus cannot possibly be a descendant of the tribe of Judah nor of King David and King Solomon. There are even further problems with any attempts to use the Bible to prove Jesus’ genealogy through Joseph, the husband of Mary. For the New Testament claims that Joseph was a descendant of King Jeconiah, who in the Bible was cursed to never have a descendant “sitting on the throne of David and ruling any more in Judah” (Jeremiah 22:30). Joseph’s genealogy, even if it were transmittable to Jesus, would only serve to further disqualify Jesus as the Messiah. Finally, there is the problem of the contradictory accounts of Jesus’ genealogy in Matthew, Chapter 1 and Luke, Chapter 3. The common Christian explanation of this contradiction claims that Luke’s genealogy is that of Jesus’ mother, Mary. However, this is unfounded, even according to the Greek original. In addition, it has already been established that genealogy is transferred solely through the father, making this attempted explanation completely irrelevant. Even if one could trace one’s genealogy through one’s mother, there would be the additional problem in that Luke 3:31 lists Mary as a descendant of David through Nathan, Solomon’s brother, and not through Solomon himself as is prophesied in I Chronicles 22:10. All other messianic criteria have obviously not been fulfilled, either during Jesus’ time or since. Any Christian claims that these final criteria will be fulfilled in a “Second Coming” are irrelevant because the concept of the Messiah coming twice has no scriptural basis.

Are we not suppose to be on fire for YEHOVA.. I get upset with this replacement theology... In Gospels it's more about the son less about the father .. it's a mess ..but out of Jesus mouth was more about his father

@@frankkhethanidubedube919 hi, this is not replacement theology. This is fulfilment theology of the Jewish scriptures or tanekh. There are many references to the Messiah in the Jewish scriptures as a means for the reader to see that the qualities of the predicted messiah of the tanekh is the same as Jesus. The reason for the New Testament emphasising Jesus (while still maintaining the Holiness, importance and significance of God the Father) is due to God’s plan before Jesus was born. This happened to fulfil God’s plan. For example: There are several covenants in the Bible, but five covenants are crucial for understanding the story of the Bible and God’s redemptive plan: the Noahic Covenant, the Abrahamic Covenant, The Mosaic Covenant, the Davidic Covenant and the New Covenant. See Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Luke 22:14-23. Also, in your opinion, which Jewish man of the Tanekh is the prophet Isaiah mentioning in this passage of Isaiah 53? Who has believed what he has heard from us?1 And to whom has hthe arm of the Lord been revealed? 2 For he grew up before him like a young plant, iand like a root out of dry ground; jhe had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. 3 kHe was despised and rejected2 by men, a man of sorrows3 and acquainted with4 grief;5 and as one from whom men hide their faces6 he was despised, and lwe esteemed him not. 4 mSurely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, nsmitten by God, and afflicted. 5 oBut he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, pand with his wounds we are healed. 6 qAll we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned-every one-to his own way; rand the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, syet he opened not his mouth; tlike a ulamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. 8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, vwho considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? 9 And they made his grave with the wicked wand with a rich man in his death, although xhe had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet yit was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief;7 zwhen his soul makes8 an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; athe will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. 11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see9 and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall bthe righteous one, my servant, cmake many to be accounted righteous, dand he shall bear their iniquities. 12 eTherefore I will divide him a portion with the many,10 fand he shall divide the spoil with the strong,11 because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; gyet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.

@@Nick-cb2ht I thought you will bring this chapter.. can I suggest you read it in the original language which is Hebrew.. you will be shocked... This was about the nation of Israel.. not Jesus .. the word Messiah means anointed one... So how can you be sure about Messianic prophecies are about Jesus ... ????? Have you ever read Isaiah 7 ..

@@frankkhethanidubedube919 The 17th century Jewish historian, Raphael Levi, admitted that long ago the rabbis used to read Isaiah 53 in synagogues, but after the chapter caused “arguments and great confusion” the rabbis decided that the simplest thing would be to just take that prophecy out of the Haftarah readings in synagogues. That’s why today when some synagogues read Isaiah 52, they stop in the middle of the chapter and the week after for the next reading they jump straight to Isaiah 54. The Great Isaiah scroll is held today in a museum in Israel with all chapters in tact and in great condition considering it carbon dates historically to about 125AD. Scholars agree that apart some minor grammatical differences, the modern English bible parallels remarkably well with the scroll. I have read the Hebrew transliteration of Isaiah 53 and it is the same as the modern English one anyway. Isaiah 7..I have read this. What’s your point? The reason I am sure the messianic prophecies are about Jesus is because no one else is history has fulfilled them except for Him. For example who is Isaiah talking about in chapter 6?: ..For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. There are many more including Jeremiah 31:22 foretells of Him being conceived by the Holy Spirit, and this is fulfilled in Matthew 1:20 and Luke 1:35. The place of Christ’s birth as Bethlehem is noted in two of the gospels with it first prophesied in Micah 5:1-5.

It seems to me that Yahweh does not speak using you, me, he, or she. The word saint is not found in scripture. Only in a plural sense. In Exodus 3 God declares who he is. I will be who I will be in a multitude. It’s called God Manifestation. God raises up whom ever he wills, even the basest of men to do his will. In Jeremiah Nebuchadnezzar is called God’s servant.

If he didn't come to conquer Rome then he was not a Jewish messiah at all. Jesus came to save Rome because only Romans worship him. Jews stayed the same until this day. Guess who on top in the world and controls the world banks? The Jews. What happened to Rome? It fell.

History tells us that sin existed… not only in the country you mention, but throughout the world. The only remedy for sin is to accept the sacrifice of Jesus as being in our place… and accept God’s vindication through His resurrection. Jesus came, not to judge, but to save. When you judge, you put yourself outside Him.

HalleluYAH ! Jesus is God Almighty !

My heart breaks for Israelites that don’t believe in Yesh’ua . Yahveh Elohaynu echad means our God is one, you are correct. Now take the same logic you just used back to the beginning to Moses words in Genesis chapter 1 verses 26 And Elohiym said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. BERE'SHIYTH (GENESIS) 1:26 את CEPHER… can you tell me who Elohyim Elohaynu echad was talking to if it wasn’t his Word a separate yet connected being connected to him by the ha’Ruach Ha’Quodesh or Holy Spirit of Elohyim? For all the prophets spoke of the son of man and word of Elohyim. Isaiah called him the prince of princes. Yahveh is the mighty King of heaven, so who was Isaiah calling the prince of princes the suffering servant who would heal and bring all nations together with Israel if it’s not the Yesh’ua (salvation) born of a virgin Israelite womb in Bethlehem of Judah that was foretold of in Genesis chapter 3 verses 14 and 15 And Yahuah Elohiym said unto the serpent, Because you have done this, you are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon your belly shall you go, and dust shall you eat all the days of your life: And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. BERE'SHIYTH (GENESIS) 3:14-15 את CEPHER. It’s all written prophecy from the beginning to the end just like the scriptures and prophecy of the prophets in the Torah says. So who is Elohyim Elohaynu echad speaking to in your beliefs? I ask because maybe the ones you listen to may not explain Elohyim in his plural form clearly enough for you to understand. I say this in love for you because I truly love all mankind, even the ones that consider me their enemy just like my Yahveh Elohaynu echad wills me to in his Word.

@@teresitaleonard5377 Sister, thank you for your response and your kind words at the end. Can I invite you to consider the question that you pose regarding what or who YHVH was referring to in Gen 1:26 when he said 'let us make man in our image'. Once you read my reply below, I would be grateful if you might read the other posts I have made in response to this video as I would like to demonstrate that my view is based solely in scripture alone. Finally, I, like you have a huge heart for the Jewish people to embrace Yeshua as the anointed one of YeHoVaH and to live their lives according to how Yeshua taught us to his fathers instructions for living. So now to answer your question. Firstly, I hope that we can agree that no-where in scripture does any prophet or YHVH explain or expand on what the 'us' refers to gen 1:26. Yeshua never referred to it. His disciples did not refer to it. As such, I do not believe it is wise for anyone to build a theology based on the ideas or inspiration of a man or women unless it is founded on a direct revelation of the Holy spirit, ideally based in scripture alone. With this as our foundation let us consider a few things. First, it we start with the assumption that your opinion is correct and the 'us' refers to a Triune Godhead, comprised of one being with 3 distinct persons, can I ask how does that resemble a human being in any way? In what way do we, as God's creation resemble a tri0une Godhead if that is what this verse is implying? We do not have 3 distinct persons within ourselves, each capable of independent thought, action or interaction? Seriously, please consider the question. Next, let's look at what we know of the heavenlies and the throne room of YeHoVaH. We know from multiple passages in the Hebrew scriptures and the NT (especially the book of Revelation) that the throne room of heaven is a very busy place, full of all manner of mysterious and wonderful spiritual creatures, many of whom interact with YHVH on a regular basis. Interestingly, they share many of the same characteristics of God almighty do they not? They know the difference between good and evil. They are intelligent. They can demonstrate obedience and disobedience (i.e Ha-Satan). They worship God etc. Is it really that unreasonable to posit that God almighty was speaking to his heavenly court when he made this statement?. Maybe, God almighty was using speaking in the 'royal we' or the author choose this style to reflect the majesty of God almighty? Some commentators argue that this style of address had not been invested yet, so you might discard this idea. But what we can't discard is the testimony of the remainder of Gen 1, which has God almighty creating in the singular throughout. There is not a hint of any plurality involved. In particular, for example the very next at Gen 1:27 reads: "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." God almighty is recorded speaking in the first person singular, as he is throughout the entire bible.

@@teresitaleonard5377 reply 2 of 3 You posit the idea that the us might refer to the 'word' of YHVH, potentially creating a link to the beginning of John 1:1. Rather, I believe the answer to this problem lies in the promise YHVH made to Moses in Deut 18:18-19 "I will raise up a prophet for them from among their countrymen like you, and I will place my words into his mouth, and he shall speak to them everything that I command him. And then the man that will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I will hold accountable" In john 5:46, Yeshua plainly said he is this prophet. Peter confirms this in Acts 3:22-24. Stephen does likewise in Acts 7:37. Finally, Paul says it in Acts 26:22. This means that Yeshua is the one of whom YHVH promised he (YHVH) would 'place his words in his (Yeshua's) mouth'. If Yeshua was literally the word of God, then Gods promises literally make no sense. Yeshua was filled with the fullness of the spirit of God (see Isaiah 11:1-5) and with the word of God. His relationship with YHVH was beyond even that of Moses of whom YHVH said to Aaron and in Numbers 12:6 " “Please hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I, YeHoVaH, will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak to him in a dream. Not so with my servant Moses; in all my house he is faithful. I will speak to him mouth to mouth, in clearness, not in riddles; and he will look at the form of YeHoVaH." Yeshua was greater than Moses. When Yeshua spoke it was as if YHVH was literally walking and speaking on the earth, but Hebrews 5 makes it clear that Yeshua was distinct from the father and that Yeshua was 'perfected' through his suffering that he experienced through his obedience to the one true God. Hebrews 5:5-10 blows away any notion that Yeshua is God almighty - it is simply impossible to believe unless we tear up the bible: "Thus also the anointed one (Christ) did not glorify himself to become high priest, but the one (YHVH) who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you (Psalm 2),” just as also in another place he (YHVH) says, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek,(Psalm 110)” who in the days of his flesh offered up both prayers and supplications, with loud crying and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death (YHVH), and he (Yeshua)was heard as a result of his reverence. Although he (Yeshua)was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered, and being perfected, he (Yeshua) became (he was not always) the source of eternal salvation to all those who obey him, being designated by God (the only true God, the father) a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek. There is so much I could unpack here, but I hope the writer of Hebrews makes it clear to you that Yeshua and YHVH are two distinct beings. I believe in the testimony of the virgin birth and that Yeshua is the mighty king of heaven - but he is only the mighty king of heaven because God almighty has chosen, appointed and elevated Yeshua into this role. Yeshua did not take it upon himself to assume such a position.

@@teresitaleonard5377 reply 3 of 3 Finally, You enquire as to whether I understand the use of Elohim in the hebrew and I can assure you that I do (although I realise that I mistakenly used the word Echad and not Elohim! There are so many problems with the way trinitarians use this concept but I am just going to try and expand on a thought I had earlier today. As I stated in my earlier post, if the word is refering to a plural in Deut 6:4, what exactly is the plural of Elohim? Surely, the only plural it could mean is "multiple Gods" ie more than one? I believe, the whole concept of the majestic plural, is respect totally fabricated be bible teachers trying to sound clever. Firstly, the 'majestic plural sentence' has almost no equivalent in the English language let alone the Hebrew. What I mean is this, in statements like 'one flock of geese', ' a pack of cubs' or 'one cluster of grapes' we know the flock or pack or cluster refers to one or more of that particular thing - geese refer to more than one geese. But are we know talking about 'many Gods'? I don't think so. The only possible equivalent is where a married man and women become 'one flesh' - where 'one flesh' refers to a married man and one women. But we only understand this terminology because YHVH has decreed it so as part of his law. We have NO SUCH explanation for what the word 'elohim' means in a 'one flesh' equivalent. I believe this is because no explanation is required. Furthermore, to really get down to details "Elohim" means "gods", not "persons". Taken literally, it would speak a plurality of gods, not a plurality of persons (which is what the doctrine of the trinity teaches)- an idea antithetical to the foundational tenet of Biblical Monotheism. Also note, that no-where in the bible is God almighty EVER referred to as a person. It is also noteworthy that when the Bible uses "elohim" about groups of beings, it is translated "gods" (Gen.3:5, 35:2 etc.), but when used of Jehovah it is invariably translated "God" - recognizing Him to be one being, not several. Next, when God is titled "elohim" in the Bible, words used to refer to Him are singular, such as "Elohim, he..." - not "Elohim, they...". Have you considerd how the word "Elohim" is also used Of Individual Pagan Deities in the bible? One simple way to see this is Elohim is directly applied to Moses in Ex4.6 and 7.2.. However, its clear that Moses is a single person

@@Thewatchman303 I really like your intellectual thinking. You are correct in a lot of what you said. It always goes back to what Yesh’ua taught. The entire scriptures describes Yahveh as being spirit. Notice I said Yahveh and Yesh’ua are two separate beings connected by the Holy Spirit? I never put them as a trinity at all but as one yet 2 separate beings at the same time. Yahveh is the Holy Spirit of truth and Yesh’ua was his Word that he spoke until he made his word flesh that’s what the Word says, so it’s true. No one knows the mind nor the understanding of the father. I to study Hebrew and have actually learned Hebrew and study all of the scriptures in Hebrew from the Torah. Most wisdom I’ve gained is by learning the meaning of the names and actually studying the book of jubilee’s which is jubilee law also given to Moses on Mount Sinai. It gives a extended creation account that explains the creation from the 7 spirits of Yahveh to the spirits of the elements, trees, wind, thunder, lightning. Every thing in creation has a spirit and man was made in his image and the Words image and to me if the word spoke it into creation it’s true even though I nor any other man will ever fully understand what that means. Peace be with you. 🙏🏽

Amen 🙏 amen!!!

What is "Word of God" and what does that mean exactly?

It is used to refer to the Bible and the actual text. It is the written Words of God. A Christian would say the “Word of God” is the Old and New Testaments. A Jewish person would say the Hebrew Scriptures are the Word of God (what Christian’s call the Old Testament). So you could technically hold a physical Bible in your hand and say this is “ the Word of God”. It’s what God wants mankind to know. And what God is going to do and what is going to happen in the world. And because God cannot lie, all of it is true and will happen. I hope this helps and I hope I didn’t confuse you! I’m not the best at explaining! ❤

@@karenjohnson5634 Jesus is the word of God and the Bible is the word of God they both go hand-in-hand he is his word and his word is him the Bible says in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God

@@karenjohnson5634 the most important thing is a personal relationship with God asking Jesus into a person's heart can change their lives and that's where it all starts through the Holy Spirit 🙏

​@Kleine Vuurvlinder KJV Genesis 3: (And he said unto the woman, Yea, HATH GOD SAID ? ) The Lord and His Word is Faithfull and Tru, we and our mind's are not.

If it's true what you say that God will reconcile everyone to Himself, then whom does He cast in hell. Because the Bible talks about hell in many places. So either you are right or God's word is right. I think 🤔 without a doubt I will stick with the word of God, and warn whoever wants to listen about hell, where everyone who is not born of the Holy Spirit child of God will end up.

​@@Jeremiah17910 Shalom Jevat Peace be to you and your loved ones. Thank you for your question and fearful statement. Much appreciated. If its not to much of an inconvenience it is our wish to bless you, never to create strife, fear nor hate to the soul. Please understand: It is not our intention to convince you of anything, only God can do that. Please have patience with us, its a lot of information. We are of no reputation and ask Our Lord Jesus to help us, so that you may come to a better understanding of God and His unconditional (perfect) love, saving everyone. No exceptions. Ask yourself: What message does your statement, news or Gospel bring? If it contains fear, its not from God. The scriptures are not the Word of God. That is a common mistake among those who follow manmade religion instead of God through His sanctifications. e.g. (example given) The Word became flesh and walked among us. God who is Spirit manifested in the Flesh. That's not the scriptures. To carnally understand what The Word (The expression or Logos) is you need to know the following: 1. The Sh'ma : Hear, O Israel: the LORD is our God, the LORD is one. (ref. Deuteronomy 6:4) There is none beside Him and there is none like Him. (ref. e.g. 1 Samuel 2:2 - Deuteronomy 4:35) (ref. = reference) (e.g. = example given) 2. A body with a spirit *FORM* a soul. SOUL: a living breathing physical being. Someone's whole life and physical being if you will. 3. God is spirit. All our spirits come from Him, He is the source if you will. Please notice again: A body with a Spirit FORM a soul. This part is key in better understanding God. How He uses The Word (The Expression or The Logos) so that we may have a better understanding of our creator. God is Spirit (Invisible) and He extended His "arm". He created a celestial body and when His Spirit entered this body a Soul was formed. The Lord Jesus. This Soul (formed in heaven) is the same Soul as the Soul of the Son of Man. (formed on earth) Why? You may ask: Because The Word became flesh. God (who is SPIRIT) manifested in the Flesh. The Spirit created Himself a terrestrial (earthly) body and when He entered this body His own Soul was formed. Because its His own Spirit, it FORMS the same Soul as the one in heaven. (ref. There is none beside Him and there is none like Him.) This terrestrial body itself is only an attribute for The Spirit so He could express Himself on earth (walk among us) and *Carnally Die* on the Cross. It is the spirit that is the Factor by which a soul will be either perfect or corrupted by sin. God is perfect love and therefore His Soul is always formed perfectly. No matter what body or attribute He uses to express Himself. By His own standard He as the Son of Man formed a perfect Soul. His own Standard: To perfectly love another as you love thyself. That's why God Himself came down from heaven. He created the second Adam by which everyone eventually will be saved. The whole world. Everyone will have the same mind as Christ. No exceptions. And when you have the same mind of Christ, sin will not come into remembrance for we will be unable to do evil again. His will in us, felt through the heart, to love another as you love yourself will be undeniable. Thereby unable to create death to the soul again. About hell: Carnally explained: The English word Hell comes from Norse Myth. She is the goddess of death. She was a myth. She wants to become a myth again. She doesn't belong in the Holy Scriptures of the Bible. More spiritual explained: Hell as an actual *physical* place of torture does not exist. e.g. (example given) The physical place our Lord once's referred to when He mentioned this in scriptures (wrongly translated into the word "hell") is about some ones soul. A soul: A living breathing *physical* being. Someone's whole life and *physical* being if you will. If e.g. someone gossips about another person (telling lies) the person that creates gossip through the mouth doesn't do the will of God and corrupts its own soul. (James 3:6) Creating sin to their physical place (soul). When the person (of which is spoken ill of) finds out that someone is lying behind his/her back, it can place evil thoughts into the mind of this person also, that will effect their soul, corrupting it. Creating error (death, or wrongly translated hell) to the soul. Thank you for your time and patience reading through all this. May The One and only true Lord God Jesus The Christ bless you all with His good news and may all those you love also rejoice by it. Amen.
