Yeshua Is Yahweh The Divnity of Messiah – Yeshua

HaMashiach is G-d manifested in the flesh.

The mystery of the Godhead is not related to the Trinity. Rather, the msytery surrounds the illumination that Yeshua was G-d at the same time that He was flesh

humanity is man Yeshua in His Divinity is Father….and in

His humanity is son Yeshua in His Divinity is Spirit…..and in

His humanity is flesh Yeshua is G-d, came to save us…and as

human He died to redeem us

Hey Vav Hey in Hebrew Titus 2:11-14 Jude 25 Romans 9:3-5 1 Timothy 1:15-17 John 20:26-27

Yeshua Is Yahweh If there is only one G-d and Yeshua

HaMashiach is the One True G-d who manifested Himself in the flesh –then the God of the “Old Testament” is NOT a separate God form the “New Testament”

The idea of a stern “law-giving God” of the Old Testament and a gentle, kind and long suffering God of the New Testament as revealed by Yeshua was advanced by a 2nd century heretic named MARCION

Yeshua Is Yahweh Marcion belived in the dualism of G-d i.e

more then one God. Marcion’s theory was so offensive to the

Church fathers that they branded him a heretic and had him excommunicated in the mid 2nd century. Afterwards Marcion began his own sect of Christianity in Rome and by the end of the 2nd century, Marcion’s doctrine had nearly replaced the teaching of Yeshua and His Talmidim that YHWH was ONE

Yeshua Is Yahweh Marcion taught that the Old Testament –

specifically the Torah- was to be rejected in its entirety because it belonged to an evil inferior god who was the G-d of the Jews and not the G-d revealed by Yeshua. Marcion taught that nothing truthful or good was found in the Torah and that Yeshua rendered it obsolete. Marcions doctrine claiming the dualism of god continues to infiltrate many Churches today. This doctrine helped to form the basis of the modern concept known as the Trinity.
