General Yahushua Questions
Posted: Sat Jun 22, 2013 8:52 am
I was sent an email recently by a close friend with some pressing questions that he, and several others around the globe, have concerning Yahushua and His relation to Yahuweh. I thought it would be good to start some open discussion on them, to see whether we may be able to reach some sort of conscensus or understanding of them, and hopefully be able to answer them fully.
I'll post the questions below, and my own ponderings will come sometime in the near future
I'll post the questions below, and my own ponderings will come sometime in the near future
- 1. If no one has every seen God (according to the scriptures), how can Yeshua be God?
- 2. If God can not be tempted, how can Yeshua be God?
- 3. How can God die?
- 4. If Yeshua prays to God and he's also God, wouldn't he be talking to himself?
- 5. Over and over, countless times ,Yeshua delineates between himself and YHWH, how could he be YHWH?
- 6. Didn't Yeshua say that YHWH was his God and our God?
- 7. Didn't Yeshua worship God?
- 8. Isn't the half God half man idea Greek? Yeshua would be like Perseus et al.
- 9. Couldn't Yeshua be a man who was filled with the fullness of the set-apart spirit of YHWH, not break the Torah, become one with YHWH, and not be YHWH himself (and still qualify as the Mashiach)?
- 10. Didn't Yeshua say that the greatest commandment was the Sh'ma (YHWH is one)?
- 11. Didn't YHWH say that he was God and there is no other.
- 12. If Yeshua is another God (like a mini YHWH) wouldn't this be polytheism?
- 13. If Yeshua was God, how could we be his brethren?
- 14. If Yeshua was God, how could anyone possibly walk as he walked?
- 15. How could the lamb of God be God?
- 16. Couldn't Yeshua be a perfect emissary of YHWH and not be YHWH?
