That Rock Was Christ
Believers in the pre-existence of the Lord Yahushua often appeal to the words of the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 10:4, where he says of the Israelites in the wilderness that they "all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them; and that rock was Christ." It is argued from this that Christ himself personally accompanied the people of Israel as they journeyed through the wilderness to the Promised Land. But is this really what Paul is saying?
Is Yahushua also Michael the Archangel?
Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that Yahushua is Michael the Archangel. I approach this topic with care and respect for those who hold to this doctrine; nevertheless, the aim of this study is to call their attention to the problems that one faces when trying to defend this doctrine.
Does Yahushua's Use of ''I Am'' Mean He Is Yahuwah?
Yahushua from the beginning claimed to be the promised Messiah. He never claimed to be Yahuwah, the God of Israel (who is also the God of Yahushua!). He never claimed to be “The Great I AM” of the OT. He did, however, repeatedly claim to be the unique Son of Yahuwah.
Can Yahuwah be the High Priest?
Hebrews 6-9 must not be forced into the later mold of orthodox beliefs about Christ’s Divinity. There is no indication here of anyone other than man Messiah Yahushua fulfilling the most important role of priest and mediator, yet in a New Covenant format. When we allow the Scripture to flow forth from its Hebrew source we can indeed drink of fresh and living waters.
Daniel the Prophet
We all know the captivating story of Daniel in the lions’ den. But have you heard the real ending?
The Myth that Prevents a Human Messiah: Being Human is Not Good Enough
It is a fact that few on earth accept Yahushua as a legitimate human being with a core human center and personality. The New Testament church did, but as we know, within 100 years Greek philosophy and human speculation began perverting and replacing biblical monotheism and turned Yahushua into a second “God-person.” Why did this happen?
Reasons That Yahushua Is Not in Proverbs 8
How are we to understand the following? "Wisdom” says: “Yahuwah possessed me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old. Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth"?
Beyond Reason
To surrender to logical nonsense is the hallmark of deception as experienced by Eve. I am referring to the proposition that Yahuwah is one and three at the same time. If the Father is Yahuwah and Yahushua is also Yahuwah that makes two Yahuwahs. But the Bible asserts that there is only one Yahuwah.
''Absent from the body and present with the Lord''
2 Cor. 5:8 is commonly used to teach that at death a Christian transcends this world to be with Yahushua in a bodiless state. But a bodiless state is definitely not what Paul desires. Paul points instead to the new body, an immortal body, a pneumatic body which we “will be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven.”
Which Stream Are You Drinking From?
As we seek to preserve our theological purity, we may be unaware of the influence on our beliefs of ancient Greek philosophy. Could it be that our beliefs, and those of the great reformers, and even those of the first post-biblical “Church Fathers,” are more polluted than we know?
The Trinity
I am one of those people who do not believe that the Trinity is the truth. I am going to try to convince you that you should not believe the Trinity, because it is not true. (by Casey Hixon, 12 years old)
