Dear
Jews for Jesus,
I am a firm believer in Deut 6:4 "Hear, O Israel,
The L-RD our G-d the L-rd is one."
The
purpose of this commentary is to obtain feedback
from you regarding your essentially tritheistic
view of the Godhead (please, before you say you're
monotheistic, I implore you to read on).
You
believe that you are still monotheistic, as stated
in your belief statement, that you believe in "One
sovereign G-d."
However, it is also stated, in your belief statement,
the trinitarian viewpoint of the Godhead as "THREE
persons." This tritheistic viewpoint
is what has hindered the majority of other Jews
from becoming Believers as the trinitarian concept
to them is essentially tritheistic which is against
G-d's word and first commandment. Therefore, please
consider the following:
Col
2:9
"For in him (talking about Y'shua) dwelleth
all the fullness of the Godhead bodily."
Y'shua described himself in John 8:58 as the Great
I AM,
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, before Abraham
was, I AM."
If you study the textus receptus rendering
of this verse in Greek, you will observe that
the emphasis of this "I am" phrase is
that for the Y-H-V-H of the Old Testament, as is
made clear by the people wishing to stone Y'shua
after this statement on the basis that he was allegedly
"blaspheming."
He
was claiming to be G-d the Father as the scripture
states, "For unto us
a child is born, unto us a son (My comment: emphasis,
*the son* will also be called the Father) is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and
his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The Mighty God, The everlasting Father (emphasis,
the son is also the Father!), The Prince of Peace."
The following scripture is given with the Strongs
reference numbers for clarification of the word
which is italicized in the English rendering of
the King James Version, specifically, the word *he*
which is not proceeded by a Strongs reference.
John
8:24
I said <2036>
(5627) therefore <3767>
unto you <5213>,
that <3754> ye
shall die <599> (5695)
in <1722>
your <5216>
sins <266>: for
<1063> if <3362>
ye believe <4100> (5661)
not <3362> that
<3754>
I <1473> am
<1510> (5748) *he*,
ye shall die <599> (5695)
in <1722> your
<5216> sins <266>.
The
actual Greek rendering for the English that
I am he, is
hoti egoµ eimi = that I am,
which is God's name as found in Exo. 3:14.
It was Y-H-V-H, G-d that there said, Ehejeh asher
Eheje, I will be what I will be. The inclusion of
the word he is purely incidental and
was not originally found in the original authentic,
textus receptus, or received text.
G-d is described in the Old Testament (Tanakh) as
the HOLY ONE of Israel (Psalms 71:22).

And
immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a
throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
Rev 4:2
Only
one person can sit on the throne of any kingdom,
especially the monotheistic kingdom of G-d.
What I am trying to tell you, my fellow Messianic
Jews, is this:
Y'shua is. . . (John 14:6).
John 5:43 I am come in my Father's name,..
Y'shua is Y'shua's name, and if He came in His Father's
name, then what is the Father's name? Y'shua
has the Y-H-V-H built in it. Y'shua means "
Y-H-V-H our salvation."
Also, G-d is described as a Holy Spirit in the Old
Testament (Psalms 51:11) and in the New Testament
(Brit HaDasha).
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which
is the Holy Ghost (Spirit), whom the Father will
send in my name (IN Y'SHUA'S NAME), he shall teach
you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance.
With this, I come to my point and imparting of knowledge
to you. Y'shua is G-d manifest in the flesh (I Tim
3:16). Isa 42:
I
am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory
will I not give to another, neither my praise to
graven images.
The
trinitarian viewpoint that you now have has been
handed down to you not through the Word of G-d but
through the tradition of men (Col 2:8)
and of the Roman Catholic Church which we all know
gives "praise to graven images."
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them,
Repent (Greek 'metanoeo' meaning to change one's
mind), and be baptized every one of you in the name
of Jesus Christ (Y'shua Ha Mashiach) for the remission
of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy
Ghost. I implore you to rethink and
rewrite your belief statement on a purely biblical
basis, not allowing any of man's tradition, namely
the trinitarian concept of the Godhead as
THREE, to corrupt your very fundamental right to
"the way, the TRUTH, and the life." Rev
18:4
"Come out of her, my people, that ye be not
partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of
her plagues. 2 Peter 3:18 But
grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord
(Remember, only one Lord!) and Saviour Jesus Christ.
To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
G-d and (Greek kai meaning and,
as well as even, meaning the same
as) our L-rd Yshua Ha Mashiach bless
you,
Brother Moses Costello
