| Proving Jesus is YHWH of my life.
Introduction
If Jesus is only a Master in your life, or some special prophet as Islam says, but not YHWH of your life,
how do these different types of Jesus affect your spiritual life? The Jehovah Witnesses pray only via the Father, they consider Jesus as a good prophet, not as YHWH.
So how do you assess your love to Jesus? Is it different to your love to the Father? Does all this love really matter?
Many different religions make the Father the only Agent of their salvation? Is this true? Why is Creation divided into gender male and gender female for example? If the Father was the only Agent
for ongoing life, ongoing salvation and ongoing character, than He should have only created a single animal of each kind capable of making genetic variation within, and making new offspring on their own,
like earthworms do occasionally if they find no help mate. Yet the heavenly Father chose to make all life with help mates...what does this tell us about love?
If salvation required only our Father, than why did the Father introduce such a complex array of salvation, first a sacrifice, then a priestly ministry and later a temple service ?
Surely this tells us that salvation is a complex system of symbols, heavenly Beings and services for sinners. Why didn't the heavenly Father did for our sins? Why create or ask some other sinless human to do His bidding?
Not much of a caring Father with this model of salvation is there?
If the Father can show love all is by Himself, then why do we have help-mates? and why isn't love in Scripture a single Hebrew word? Why are their love examples in relational terms on earth?
Why not be like angels with only one form, and one way of loving each other?
Do we suppose love packages into a single kind of personality? However, the Hebrew has two words for love, love is relational, and thus requires familes...not assemblies of individuals...
Consider the first creation symbols of GOD, (1) Marriage of two forms becoming one form (united again into a single Being); (2) Home of many different fruit trees, with two special trees testing obedience;
(3) Family of forms that become united as one family, rather than individual assemblies of many, God wanted to make each family unit the smallest representation of GOD; and (4) Special Time for sharing relational love,
each Sabbath GOD wanted special time with His earthly Family and His heavenly FAMILY.
These four aspects of Creation are small pictures of GOD...God is not alone, GOD must be relational and like a heavenly FAMILY as we are.
But how your 'world view' is, so is your 'theory of faith'. Your 'world view' affects your 'religion', despite all the knowledge and facts to the contrary.
So what is your 'world view'? about GOD? about love? where are you going in your life?
Is Jesus YHWH of your life?
(1) Ac 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
First this text tells us only through Jesus Name are we saved...This again does not mean a Person, even though a Person is referenced...The Name of Jesus means in Hebrew
"yasha' which means "saved" or "rescued" or "salvation", so Jesus is the only means we are saved or have salvation...and this processs is achieved by all members of the Godhead, but only through "Yasha"
who spelled differently is "Yeshua", is the only door of our salvation.
The Father alone cannot save us, because since we have sinned and death came upon us all, death must be substituted with death. The Father did not die for our missing, He did not substitute His life for our death.
An angel cannot die for our sins, for their life comes from the Father, they are creatures with life coming from the Father, even if they could live among Satan and sin not...but in heaven many millions did live among Satan and the Father lost a third of His angels from Satan's temptations of sin.
Only a member of Elohiym, with powers of Elohiym, could save us...this means Jesus is Elohiym, a member with His Father from all eternity.
Some religions of faith say God cannot die, thus Jesus cannot be God...but where does Scripture say 'death' means to 'die'?
The Bible definition of death is a sleep, and when people sleep they do not die...for God still knows them and can raise them back to life again.
The second death is the real death...and nobody experienced this, except Jesus...death is really the absence of God's presence.
So when Jesus lay in the grave asleep, did He experience three days and three nights with the absence of Elohiym ? Yes...notice these words...
Psalms 22:1 My God (El- Strong Authority ) , my God (El - Strong Authority) , why hast thou forsaken me? These words imply Jesus was forsaken by the Father and the Holy Spirit,
and this is the true experience of death, the absence of Elohiym. (Why even your toe nails keep on living years after one dies in the ground, so not all cells sleep at the same time - Elohiym's power still flows ...)
(2) Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Notice a system of salvation, a process using a 'helmet' 'sword' and the 'word' are members of all the Godhead, the Son (helmet), the Holy Spirit (sword); and the 'word' (Father the chief of Elohiym)
(3) Php 1:19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
This verse tells us salvation is a process which involved faith, reading the word and prayer, which allows the supply of the Holy Spirit to continue to breathe the breath of salvation (Jesus Christ) upon us.
(4) 1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
For the heavenly powers of Elohiym has appointed salvation (yasha) through our LORD adonay Jesus Christ.
(5) Heb 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
(6) Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
These verses reinforce the idea that salvation only comes via the Jesus door to Elohiym. Not by good deeds, or a so called good life. But by faith in Jesus living inside of your heart.
(7) Joh 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
A door implies a building, a part of a process...so salvation involves all the Godhead, but Jesus is the only door through which we must enter.
(8) Joh 10:15 As the Father knoweth ('ginosko' Strong's 1097 same as Hebrew 'yada' Strong's 3045 ) me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Those who say Jesus never pre-existed have a problem with this verse, among dozens of other texts...The Hebrew word used here is 'yada'.
This Hebrew word means to be 'intimate' with, to know one in relational terms like the back of your hand, in person...not a figurative sense...in Genesis when is says
Adam yada Eve, we learn they were intimate with one another physically. When Jesus says to those He takes to heaven, "I never knew you" He is using the term 'yada' to be intimate with...
Not know about Jesus...not knowledge...yada is not knowledge, it is a relationship concept...
So If the Father yada His Son, they must have had a relationship together ever since the Father and Son existed...
(9) Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one ('echad' - united).
This verse says the same as previously , only in a different way...
The Father and the Son cannot be the same Being, so they cannot be numerically one, proving 'echad' does not mean one.
Echad must mean 'united' or 'united as one'. That definition makes sense for all examples of 'echad' in Scripture.
(10) Ro 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Salvation comes only via your confession that Jesus is YHWH...
Martiin Luther translates Lord, the Hebrew word 'adown' or 'YHWH' or 'adonay', we cannot be sure which Hebrew word for this Greek word 'kurios', as the German word 'HERR';
which is LORD, not master. Other OT texts make equivalent verses linking 'YHWH' and 'adown' and 'adonay' together as a unified reference to a Heavenly Being.
Thus salvation comes only if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is YHWH, the memra that exists, the Agency for His Father.
(11) Ro 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
The only way to balance out ongoing eternal death as a result of Adam's missing God's power, is with a gift of ongoing eternal life...and this gift of power has to be as large and eternal as death is..
so this rules out a Yeshua who came along only since Mary's time, for He would not be a Creator with Elohiym power, but only a creature empowered with the Father's power, so as a human Jesus had no gift large enough to offer...
The death of Jesus is not a gift large enough for eternal death...unless of course Jesus was the Creator of humans in the first place, than His gift of life and our death makes perfect counter-acting sense...
(12) Ro 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Notice salvation is the gift of Elohiym through their Son Jesus....
(13) 1Co 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
To be able to offer resurrection to the dead, this Being must be a Creator of life and death...
no angel and no human with powers received from the Father could achieve this feat...the one who places His life for our death,
has to be the Author of our life and the Finisher of our life, the Beginning and the End, the second Adam, which implies He created the first Adam Himself.
(14) 1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Notice the parallel statement here, only a Saviour ableto match Adam's eternal death, with eternal life, because Jesus created Adam to begin with.
(15) 1Co 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
A human sacrifice such as a Yeshua from Mary's time, cannot challenge the enemy of death, who is Satan, who made death from the days He sinned before the foundation of our world.
Hence we have to have, an eternal Yeshua, a Jesus who was side by side with Satan from the beginning, and in fact Scripture symbols of a 'saraph' on a pole, tell us that Jesus and Satan are paired contrasting Authorites since heavenly times.
This battle over death and the destruction of flesh by Satan, can only be made by Jesus, the power who fought with Satan since Satan first sinned.
Therefore this verse tells us Jesus is from eternity, and that Satan is His direct enemy.
(16) Ps 109:6 � Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
This verse tells us as humans we are empowered by the right hand of Satan, since Adam's fall.
(17) Job 2:6 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
So by logic, this verse is telling us "LORD" here is Jesus, the heavenly Being who directly opposes Satan, from the beginning.
(18) Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Notice Salvation is a gift of Elohiym, all members of the Godhead..not based on human works..
(19) Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Only by the merits of Jesus, our Creator and our Redeemer, do we have eternal hope.
(20) 1Pe 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
This verse is making a poetry typology...Noah was baptised in water, by the Holy Spirit flood, saved by grace in Jesus...the same as we are today by Jesus in baptism.
Nothing has changed...nor has our Saviour changed...only that Jesus took on mankind, a human body for our sakes..
Make Jesus the YHWH of your life. Make the Father the YHWH of your life as well. Grow in the grace of the heavenly FAMILY of GOD,
and enjoy the sweet fruits of the Holy Spirit, as you believe on the Father's Son, and daily grow in His grace. Shalom
