Isaiah 43:11 & Hosea 13:4 | Exposing the False Trinity Doctrine
I, I, am Yahuwah, And there is no Savior besides Me. Isaiah 43:11
The Trinitarian Claim
Trinitarians claim that Yahushua must be G-d [Yahuwah] because there is no Savior except Yahuwah and Yahushua is the Savior of the world.
The Claim vs. The Facts
Trinitarians are interpreting this verse to mean Yahuwah saves apart from anyone else. However, that simply won't work since Yahuwah had already raised up several Saviors to save Israel from their enemies (see Luke 1:68-71; 1 Cor 15:26). Moreover, Yahushua is Yahuwah's salvation (Luke 2:30), the Savior Yahuwah raised up. The Scriptural facts tell us that Isaiah 43:11 necessarily means that there is no Savior apart from Yahuwah since He is the One who raises up every one of them including Yahushua.
The Problem with the Claim
1. What? There is no Savior besides WHO?
Trinitarians are unwittingly refuting themselves with claims like these. When it says, "there is no Savior besides ME" it doesn't seem to occur to Trinitarians who that ME is. If "ME" is the Triune G-d then "ME" is not the Father nor Yahushua nor the Holy Spirit since each of these three is one person and the Triune G-d is a three person being. Neither the Father nor the Son, nor the HS, is a three person being. None of these three are the Triune G-d and the Triune G-d is none of these three. So WHO exactly are Trinitarians suggesting is the speaker in this verse? There isn't even an option they can choose which will not deny their own doctrine. If they say "ME" is the Father, then Yahushua and the Holy Spirit are excluded. And the same goes for claiming either of the other two is the speaker. If they say "ME" is the Triune G-d, then neither the Father is not our only Savior, the Son is not our only Savior, the HS is not our only Savior, BECAUSE none of these three are a three-person being. Being a member of the Triune G-d does not mean you ARE the Triune G-d anymore than being a member of the Beatles means Ringo Starr IS the Beatles. The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and the three-person-being are four different identities. So WHO is "ME" in this verse? They have no answer which will work for their doctrine. This Trinitarian claim is self refuting. But what is more troubling is, "Why is this obvious fact not obvious to them?"
2. Yahuwah has raised up Many Saviors
Trinitarians make the following observations:
Today in the city of David there has been born to you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11.
He is truly the Savior of the world. John 4:42.
Having made this particular observation, they therefore conclude that Yahushua must be Yahuwah because Yahuwah says, "there is no Savior besides me" at Isaiah 43:11 and Hosea 13:4.
Trinitarians ignore some very key facts. Yahuwah has raised up numerous Saviors. The Hebrew word used in all the following quotations of Scripture is the exact same Hebrew word yasha translated as "Savior" at Isaiah 43:11. Also noted are verses were the word yasha is used - to save.
Then Yahuwah raised up judges who saved them from the hands of those who plundered them....When Yahuwah raised up judges for them, Yahuwah was with the judge and saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge. Judges 2:16,18
When the sons of Israel cried to Yahuwah, Yahuwah raised up a Savior for the sons of Israel to save them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. Judges 3:9
But when the sons of Israel cried to Yahuwah, Yahuwah raised up a Savior for them, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjaminite. Judges 3:15
[BREAK; Several judges of Israel Listed here]
The Saviors will ascend Mount Zion to judge the mountain of Esau, and the kingdom will be Yahuwah's. Obadiah 1:21
Trinitarians are not appreciating the facts. To claim that Isaiah 43:11 means that but Yahuwah acts alone to save creates a contradictory inconsistency. Yahuwah has raised up many Saviors. It also matters not what Yahuwah was saving them from. The Trinitarian interpretation would then exclude all these Saviors which Yahuwah raised up and their argument then contradicts Scripture. In the above verses we see that it was indeed Yahuwah who raised up these Saviors. Apart from Yahuwah, there is no Savior but Yahuwah because it was Yahuwah who raised them up. He is the one who raises up these Saviors. Yahuwah is the one responsible for providing these salvations in the above passages. Each of these Saviors are Yahuwah's Saviors and in this way there is no Savior besides Yahuwah.
When Yahuwah raised up judges for them, Yahuwah was with the judge and saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge. Judges 2:19
Men are the means by which Yahuwah saved Israel. It is by His own power that He saved them from their enemies. It is the same with Yahushua. In fact, Yahushua told us bluntly that he could do nothing from himself and it was the Father abiding in him which did the works. G-d the Father [Yahuwah] was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.

Analysis of the Facts
1. Yahuwah Our Savior Raised Up a Savior of the world
In a similar manner, the New Testament several times refers to the Father as "G-d our Savior." Now carefully observe how the Bible speaks of Yahushua in the very same way, Yahuwah raised up a Savior, namely, Yahushua.
He is the one whom G-d [Yahuwah] exalted to His right hand as a Prince and Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.Acts 5:31
From the seed of David, according to promise, G-d [Yahuwah] has raised up to Israel a Savior, Yahushua. Acts 13:23
The Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. 1 John 4:14
Yahuwah gave his only son to be His Savior. Indeed, we read that Yahuwah gave Yahushua to Israel, born of Mary, to save them from their sins (Matthew 1:21). And Yahuwah "has raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of David His servant" (Luke 1:69). It is Yahuwah's doing, Yahuwah who raises up this Savior just as He raised up all the other human Saviors in the Old Testament. We also read at Acts 2:21 that whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved only to discover that the Lord in question is the man Yahushua whom G-d the Father [Yahuwah] has made Lord by raising him from the dead (2:22-36). It is also quite clear that it is a human who is the Savior at Acts 13:23 (as quoted above)
2. Yahuwah Our Savior and HIS Salvation: Yahushua
[BREAK]
Because Yahuwah our Savior has raised up Yahushua as HIS salvation it is also said of Yahushua, "all flesh shall see the salvation of G-d [Yahuwah]" (Luke 3:6; cf. Acts 28:28). Yahushua is our G-d's salvation, the salvation of Yahuwah our Savior. Yahushua is not Yahuwah but Yahuwah's salvation. There is no Savior apart from Yahuwah since He is solely responsible for raising up Saviors for His people and the ultimate Savior He has raised up is Yahushua, Yahuwah's salvation. Indeed, that is what his name means.
Blessed be the Lord G-d of Israel for He has visited us and accomplished redemption for His people and He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David His servant. Luke 1:68-69.
He is the one whom G-d [Yahuwah] exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. Acts 5:31.
When we realize Yahushua is Yahuwah's salvation, it becomes quite clear that Yahuwah raised up Yahushua to be Savior of the world and in this manner there is no Savior apart from Yahuwah. There is no Savior apart from Yahuwah because it is Yahuwah who raises up saviors to save his people from this or that. He raised up Yahushua to save Israel from their sins. And indeed, we read in the New Testament that G-d [Yahuwah] was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. The Father abiding in Yahushua did the works (John 14:10). It was all G-d the Father's [Yahuwah's] doing.
Salvation and glory and power belong to our G-d. Revelation 19:1.
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our G-d and the authority of His Messiah have come." Revelation 12:10
Conclusion
Yahushua is Yahuwah's salvation, the human Savior who Yahuwah raised up from the House of David. When all the facts are honestly reviewed, it is quite plain and clear what is intended at Isaiah 43:11. The Trinitarian claim that Yahushua must be Yahuwah falls apart when two things are realized. First, the Old Testament shows us Yahuwah saves His people by raising up human Saviors. Second, it is clear the same thing is occurring when we discover that Yahushua IS Yahuwah's salvation, a Savior whoYahuwah raised up. Yahuwah says there is no Savior without me. Since it is Yahuwah who raises up saviors and since Yahushua IS Yahuwah's salvation then we should be able to see that it is quite true, there is no Savior apart from Yahuwah because He is the One who raises up human Saviors to deliver His people. The Father (our Savior) has sent the Son as Savior of the world. (1 John 4:14). Yahushua is the Father's salvation. He is the salvation of Yahuwah our Savior.
In the days of his flesh, Yahushua offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his peity. Hebrews 5:7.
