"And Y'shua, when He was immersed, went up straightway out of the water: and, behold, the heavens were opened unto Him, and He saw the Spirit of Elohim descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him:  And behold a voice from heaven, saying, 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased'."  Matthew 3:16-17

 

     The Neshama of Y'shua is the Ruach HaKodesh of YHWH, He said...

 

"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him* unto you." John 16:7

 

     We each have a unique Neshama (Spirit) and Nefesh (Soul).  Mashiyach displayed great emotion and compassion for His people, he demonstrated anger towards those who were stealing from the poor and love for those who had compassion upon others.  Y'shua is part of  what is referred to as "the G-dhead" but let's consider the office of Mashiyach and compare it with the doctrine that Christians refer to as the "Holy Trinity".

     Y'shua is the Arm of YHWH revealed who came in the flesh and is part of what we understand as "the G-dhead", but there is no need to imagine two or three beings or persons within "the G-dhead", this kind of thinking is pagan in origin.  It wasn't until +/- 220 AD that a Greek thinker named Tertullian coined the term "Trinity".  Tertullian and the Greek founders of the Christo-pagan Church (Matt 23:9 says don't call them fathers) like Marcion etc, never learned about Y'shua from Netzarim Jews, they never knew what the Word of YHWH reveals regarding the Unity of YHWH.  Most of the Church founders, had no knowledge of Hebrew or Aramaic although some witnessed Hebrew and Aramaic Ketuvim Netzarim writings being in circulation.  Nevertheless, Tertullian coined the word "Trinity" after reading Philo who coined the word "Triad", by 375 AD martyrdom over the theology of "the Trinity" was well under way in Western Christianity, it wasn't until the 12th century that the Church of the East also began to use the term.  Philo, got his ideas from "Metatron", or what was then the oral Kabbalah which referred to Mashiyach as the "middle pillar", which harmonizes all the Attributes of YHWH as One.  Mashiyach came into time and space, but his Father YHWH exists outside of time and space.  When Mashiyach was revealed as the Arm of YHWH we saw "the Father", but we did not and could not possibly see all dimensions of YHWH's power and might!  How can finite beings input infinite data into our minds and spirits?  It's not possible, but it is possible for Mashiyach, the "Anointed of YHWH", to reveal the Father to us within time and space.

 

Trinity "Persons of the Trinity" "the union of three divine persons"

 

     The word "Trinity" is not found in Scripture but the reason it was coined it quite obvious.  The human mind wrestles with the matter of plurality within the "G-dhead", the title Elohim for instance is the plural of Eloah, and Scripture says let "us" make man in our own image, therefore many conclude this to be a numerical plural.  It is very difficult to imagine the spiritual nature of YHWH, part of the problem rests with the personification of "spirits".  In the pagan world "ghosts" are given pet names and personalities, and this ideology has been applied to the One True Elohim, but the truth is that YHWH is One Spirit, not many.  The Spirit of YHWH is YHWH, He is not a "person", and cannot be categorized by man's numerical or limited dimensional being.  "Don't you know that you are the temple of Elohim, and that the Spirit of Elohim dwells in you? If any man defile the temple of Elohim, him shall Elohim destroy; for the temple of Elohim is holy, which temple ye are." 1 Corinthians 3:16, 17.  The people of YHWH have the Spirit of Elohim within them, and every human soul also has a unique human spirit. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." John 3:6.  The spirit within man becomes reborn when one seeks YHWH and His Mashiyach, the Spirit within man is not a separate entity of man, it is consistent within man and is known and understood according to the spirit, soul, mind, will, and emotions.  Humans experience spiritual things which are impossible to put into time and space with words and description, because these are things outside of time and space and impossible to explain within the material world.

     "Persons of the Trinity" is complex, a "person" has an intellect, emotions, will, physical body, and a spirit so to say "persons" of the Trinity is very problematic, simply because YHWH is not a "person", you are a "person", I am a "person".  We do find that in Torah, the Neviim, the Ketuvim Netzarim the writers stress that YHWH is Echad, He is ONE.  So although the word "Trinity" might suffice as a harmless and quick reference to the G-dhead as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, it is not so innocent a doctrine if one insists there are three "persons" of the "Trinity".  Truth can be transformed into idolatry if we are not extremely careful to base our values and understanding on Scripture.

     "Persons of the Trinity", is not a Scriptural term, it includes that little and unassuming word "of" which is excessively problematic, think of how we use the word "of" in the English language.  "Of" as in caused by, from the total or group comprising of, associated with or adhering to, belonging or connected to, possessing or having, one's part, containing or carrying, centered on or directed towards, produced by or issuing from, characterized or identified with, with reference to, in respect to, set aside for. 

     Fred that is of Bill's clan means that Fred is caused by Bill, or Fred is from the total or group comprising of Bill, or Fred is associated with or adhering to Bill, or Fred is belonging or connected to Bill.  Ok, you get the picture I'm sure.  For someone to declare a teaching called "persons of the Trinity", persons is caused by Trinity, persons is from the total or group comprising of Trinity, persons is associated with or adhering to Trinity, persons is belonging or connected to Trinity.  This phrase puts Trinity as a higher state than persons! as if the "Trinity" gave life to G-d?  This is the problem when trying to put the Almighty into a theological box.

     The fact of the matter is that "the Trinity" has become the god doctrine of many Christians.  The doctrine itself owns the nature of G-d, and this is a very serious offense against the Word of YHWH.  The sad thing is that the Trinity doctrine continues the idolatry which was set out according to the Hellenized church (christo-pagan) founders!  The doctrine of the "Trinity" has put untold thousands of innocent people to death and the intention of many Christians and Messianics is to keep this wicked heresy alive and continue to put more people in their own theologically fashioned hell!  Christians curse people to hell if they don't accept the doctrine of the "Trinity", I personally know this first hand, having met some of these sorry lot of Trinitarians.  The leader of a Messianic church taught that if one does not believe in the "Persons of the Trinity" they go to burning hell.  I appealed to the leader on behalf of one person who had been rudely banished from the Church, he had questioned the authenticity of the "trinity" doctrine.  Not only are the fruits of this doctrine demonic and perverse, but it also robs adherents of their understanding the true Nature of Mashiyach, and each ones own Spiritual connection to YHWH and His Mashiyach!

     YHWH the Father is outside of time and space, Y'shua Mashiyach operates both outside of time and within time and space.  Y'shua is the Right Hand of YHWH who is waiting until all his enemies are put under his feet.  The Ruach haKodesh is the Spirit if YHWH, not a person.  You have a spirit, you have a mind and body, but one would never separate your spirit from your soul as though they are two different beings, this is where the Church fell into paganism, because the ideas were brought into the Faith of Yeshua by polytheistic pagans.

 

"Born Again"

     We have seen and also witness in Y'shua that when we do Teshuva (repent of our sin and Observe Torah) and accept Y'shua as Mashiyach and confess His name, that the Ruach HaKodesh abides in us.  When a person first begins to experience the Joy and Peace of Mashiyach, their neshama (spirit) is connecting with the Ruach haKodesh. This is what it means to be "Born Again", which is something every aught to be VERY excited about, those who reject the new life do so because they have not experienced their own spiritual existence in YHWH and His Mashiyach.  It is impossible for a sorcerer or anyone who practices witchcraft to experience being born again unless they repent and allow the Torah to be written upon their hearts.  Being born again is a VERY JEWISH CONCEPT that means to be born from the head, or the beginning.  A rich and famous Jew named Nakdimon came to the Mashiyach and said...

 

"How can a man be born when he is old?" John 3:4

 

     Look what HaMashiyach says to Nakdimon!!!

 

"Y'shua answered and said unto him, You are a master of Israel, and don't know these things?" John 3:10

 

      Mashiyach says something like, "where have you been Nakdimon?"  Every Jew who ever read or heard about Torah should be able to figure this out.  It is the Ruach HaKodesh, the Spirit of Mashiyach that must spark our Neshama and restore us to the Father!  It's mind boggling that Jews refer to a "Shabbat Bride" but can't make the connection that the true "Bride of Shabbat" is the Ruach HaKodesh, which comes into us by way of Mashiyach!  There are not substitutes for Mashiyach or for the Ruach haKodesh!

 

"Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Mashiyach which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Mashiyach, and the glory that should follow." 1 Peter 1:11

 

     Every soul who will enter into Life, must seek to be led personally by the Ruach HaKodesh, or they will only succeed in religious games.  It's not only Avraham, Moshe and David, and all the Prophets who knew the Spirity of Mashiyach, it is everyone who seeks YHWH with a contrite heart and lives a set apart life in Him.  Various religions use alternative names and titles for YHWH like "HaShem", "Adonai", "Elokim", "the LORD", "Lord" etc, but YHWH warns us through the prophet Jeremiah that "the false pen of the scribes works falsehood" and that we have to look to Him for His Name to be revealed to us.  The Name of YHWH is a strong tower, the righteous run into it and are saved.  In the revelation of His Name is a wealth of understanding of who He created us to be, the very purpose of life.

     We are not "born again" just once in our lifetimes, we are in progression of having the Mind of Mashiyach revealed inside of us each day.  We are born again by an experience that we begin a new life in Mashiyach, and we grow in this new birth in our loyalty and service to Mashiyach.  There is no life in YHWH outside of Mashiyach, if we don't continue to grow in Him, we become stagnant and begin to look around for creative ways to entertain the carnal flesh.  If we don't love the Truth, and if we are not willing to suffer for Truth and Righteousness sake, then we will be tested and if we choose to fail, YHWH promises to send delusions that we will "believe a lie", because His Truth is supreme and must be respected as such.  What is important to YHWH, better become important to us.  But many people think they have an "in" with YHWH, some actually think they are getting away with rebellion because YHWH knows that they mean well.  They have made an image of god that allows themselves to feel comfortable with unrighteous living.  "Because the carnal mind is enmity against YHWH: for it is not subject to the Torah of YHWH."  Romans 8:7  "...know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with YHWH?  whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of YHWH."  James 4:4  As followers of Mashiyach our mandate is to bring souls into the Kingdom and disciple them in Mashiyach, rather than to adopt ideas and values of the world.

 

     In conclusion...

 

     How then is Mashiyach, YHWH who has come in the flesh?

 

                    1) Yeshua represented YHWH by coming to earth in a human form.

                    2) Yeshua is invited into our Neshama, and the Ruach HaKodesh is writing Torah upon our heart.

 

     Answer 2 is the far better pursuit, because even the demons believe in answer 1.

 

     Mashiyach has a Father, He said His Father and our Father,  and He pointed us to "the Father" which means that Yeshua is obedient and commands that His followers are also obedient to the Father.

 

     There are Seven Spirits of YHWH, and they are ONE although revealed as Attributes of YHWH.  This is why we refer to the "G-dhead" in terms of "emanations" or "dimensions" rather than "persons", because YHWH is infinite and He has chosen to reveal a "portion" of Himself to us.  The portion is Mashiyach!

 

     Mashiyach is the "arm of YHWH revealed" in time and space, so if we see Him, we see the Father, or at least what the Father has chosen to reveal to us.  The Webster's definition of Trinity is: "the union of three divine persons", a very slippery slope, any who believe this for their "salvation" has made themselves into an idolater, and needs to make Teshuva (repentance)!  This doctrine is based on the polytheistic ideology of christo-pagans who more than likely chose to abandon the truth, in order to be accepted by Hellenized colleagues.  The fact of the matter is that pagan cultures have long tried to assimilate all religion into one "happy family" under their own pagan umbrella.  YHWH says He is One, which has long been the main contest of the adversary to fractionalize the Oness of YHWH and His Mashiyach.

 

     Our Faith in YHWH must go beyond doctrine and theology that upholds theory about the "image" of Elohim, into a spiritual dialogue between our neshama and the Ruach haKodesh.  Our Faith must be based on obedience according to the authority of YHWH's Torah, and every Word that proceeds from the Most High.  The only way to find the way to the Word of Truth is to study the Word of YHWH in the original language it was communicated in.  The Truth does not borrow ideas from religion or traditions of men, it stands alone in itself as supreme.  YHWH is One and His Name is One.  Mashiyach Yeshua is Mashiyach ben Yoseph who came to point us to the Father.  No one is foolish enough to believe that YHWH the Father is confined to a physical body, because He is Spirit, therefore it is not difficult to imagine how YHWH and His Mashiyach are One, and why the doctrine of the Trinity is paganism.
