Why do I call the questions below "Frequently Avoided Questions?" Well, quite simply because those who promote or believe in the Trinity or any form of a "God in the flesh" Messiah frequently avoid the questions I raise below. They do so for a simple reason: THEY HAVE NO ANSWER to most of the questions without resorting to word games, context shredding of Scripture, and/or the theological ejection device of "mystery" or counterfeit Messianically distorted "Kabbalah mysticism." The first few questions in particular are never answered using common sense Scriptural reasoning by those who promote a false man-God Messiah. Instead, they flee from the questions, often refuse to acknowledge them, and usually get angry or embarrassed when such questions are asked.
So, let me now present a list of Frequently Avoided Questions to you! I could have listed more and present many other issues on this web site. I also present to you the same challenge that no one has yet been able to perform. Please answer them all if you are able, using common sense reasoning from the overall Hebraic context of Scripture. And please do not cheat by "ejecting" from the discussion using the often stated standard "it's a mystery" answer or by resorting to Kabbalah "mysticism" distorted by counterfeit Messianics. The current battle cry of "embrace the mystery" that is sometimes heard from Trinitarian leaders is proof of their fear of issues just like those posed below and their realization that the grip of their deceitful power is in jeopardy.
If the deity of Messiah is so clear and simple to understand there should be no difficulty to answering these questions using common sense! If you do have a problem, then you prove by your inability to use common sense that your belief defies common sense! Therefore, ejecting from the issue will not be an acceptable response since it is blatantly insincere and proof of the "God in the flesh" Messiah error.
Within each question below I link to an article on the subject, though there may actually be many places in which the specific question is discussed on this web site. Link to the article - read it - then respond to each FAQ using common sense! READ THE ARTICLE LINKED TO FIRST! DO NOT AVOID THE ARTICLE AS PART OF AN EFFORT TO AVOID THE ISSUE! If you cannot do so, perhaps it would be wise for you to consider your beliefs in light of the COMMON SENSE nature of my arguments.
Guess what? I may as well warn you. You cannot explain your man-God Messiah beliefs using common sense or without resorting to trickery as you attempt to avoid the issues I raise.
Please read the comments following the questions for further insight into why I pose them and examples of typical "responses" to them.
Before mistaking my intentions and accusing me of rejecting Yahshua as Messiah, it may be useful for you to read the clarification I provide regarding my faith in Yahshua, which is found near the top of a primary page within this site on which I present evidence that Yahshua is NOT God. Most of the following article links actually originate from that page.
An understanding of the Jewish Law of Agency shows Yahshua to be the shaliach, the agent of God. Do you even know what this is? It CLEARLY presents Yahshua the Messiah as he truly is and removes ALL the "mystery."
I prove that Christianity does not actually promote "following Christ." The facts I present are absolutely irrefutable and embarrassing for Christians because they expose what is perhaps the most institutionalized hypocrisy of Christianity. After reading that article how can you possibly claim that "following christ" is a primary theme of Christianity, and how do you defend the severity of this hypocrisy?
God cannot die. Yahshua died. If Yahshua the Messiah is God, how can this be? How can God die?
God cannot be tempted to sin. Yahshua was tempted to sin. How can a perfect God that is clearly immune to sin be tempted to sin?
Yahshua worshipped God as HIS God, thus showing YHVH is the God OF Yahshua! God does not worship anyone as "God" but is the object of such divine worship from others. How can God, who is already the Most High God, pray to, serve, be resurrected BY, and worship one higher? How can God worship, serve, and pray to another entity? (A point you may need to consider it that one can be "worshipped" without them being God; however, the worship Yahshua showed was divine worship of his God! Reverence and adoration of Yahshua the Messiah is NOT the same as the "worship" given G-d.)
What about the fact that worship of Yahshua as "God" is a direct violation of YHVH's clear command to avoid the worship of "other gods". How can the worship of Messiah as "God" avoid violation of the worship of "other gods?"
What about the fact there is not one single example of conversion in the New Covenant where the converts acknowledge - or were asked to acknowledge - Yahshua as God? NOT ONE! The best way to check this is to read Acts, which presents several conversion examples. Why do Christians and counterfeit Messianics add to the requirements of the original Messianics (Christians), and who gave Christian "theologians" the authority to change what God established through Yahshua and the original apostles?
Peter confessed Yahshua to be "Messiah". Why do Christians reject Peter's understanding?
The actual Scriptural definition of the "Son of God" is far different than Christianity implies. Why does Christianity and counterfeit Messianism intentionally conceal this?
Often, what is NOT said proves much. What about the things NOT said in Scripture?
How do you explain the clear definition in Scripture of the mark of God and the mark of the Beast? Have you accepted the Beastly mark?
Those that promote a man-God Messiah intentionally misrepresent what the majority of verses indicate. For instance, how do you explain how Scripture virtually always shows clear distinction between Messiah and God?
The TRUE Hebraic understanding of "preexistence" proves Yahshua did not literally preexist anymore than any other soul preexists. Why does Christianity and counterfeit Messianism purposely conceal this as they intentionally mistranslate the Greek word "logos?"
The demons that Messiah commanded to depart obviously knew who Yahshua was. How do you explain why they never addressed him as God or even hinted at such?
The standard approach taken by those that consider Messiah to be "G-d in the flesh" is to use "hints," "clues", and shredded Scriptural context to "prove" their position using UNNECESSARY implication. Contrast this with the more legitimate use of NECESSARY inference. Seriously now, which is the more common sense approach?
Why do Christians and counterfeit Messianics utilize the "ejection devices" of "mystery" and "mysticism"?
How do you explain how counterfeit Messianic leaders INTENTIONALLY misrepresent Hebraic teachings by stating that God can be literally seen, even though ALL Hebraic traditions are virtually unanimous in stating God cannot be literally seen?
Those that disagree with me often take part in "word games" as they misuse terms such as "elohim" (Hebrew for "God", "mighty one", etc.) and "echad" (Hebrew for the number "one"). Further discussion of this is found within the Adonai Echad lessons linked to in FAQ #21. How do you respond to this?
Psalms 110 is irrefutable in proving that Messiah is NOT God and also that Christian leaders sometimes intentionally mistranslate in order to further the man-God Messiah concept. What about it? This is also further discussed in the Adonai Echad lessons of FAQ #21.
You need to show that your beliefs are compatible with the context of the original authors - a context that was a totally Hebraic world view. Do you approach your study of the issue of Messiah's alleged deity with a traditional Hebraic (versus counterfeit Messianic Christianized) understanding?
This is only a sampling of the numerous COMMON SENSE issues raised on this web site that those who consider Messiah to be God avoid. There are many others, including extensive New Testament commentary specifically tailored for the deity issue. I eagerly await your response and sincerely hope you read and consider the issues I raise on the site, which so few dare respond to without resorting to the "mystery of the trinity" or "Kabbalistic Ein Sof" ejection buttons. I hope you are sincere in your search for THE Truth. In short, respond to all these issues or be honest enough to admit you cannot do so, particularly the first few that are virtually never - and I do mean NEVER - responded to without confirming my arguments.
This is not an invitation to debate, as discussed in an article on that subject, which is seen when one wishes to email comments to me.
As you can probably tell, the primary objective of this web site is to oppose the false, replacement Messiah that is promoted by Constantinian Christianity and her daughter, counterfeit Messianic Judaism. When I was deciding upon how best to construct my web site the question that kept bugging me was how I could show the truth without resorting to the traditional "verse wars" that have historically been fought regarding the issue of the alleged deity of Messiah (Christ). Individuals can claim Scriptural "support" for virtually any conceivable doctrine they desire to believe if they search long enough in Scripture. Most realize this; therefore, bombing each other with Bible verses often convinces no one of anything. Few people change their minds as a result of verse wars. Instead, the stubborn bias of those engaged in battle is generally strengthened. Constantinian Christianity has perfected, through centuries of experimentation and use, the art of such confusing and deceptive warfare using - among other things - Scriptural context shredding and biased or entirely erroneous renderings from the Hebrew and Greek texts. Proponents of a man-God Messiah hate Scriptural context and tirelessly work to shred it; therefore, "verse warfare" is their preferred tactic since is allows them to utilize their context shredding, pick-and-choose verse methodology, to the fullest. Of course, since counterfeit Messianics/Nazarenes are nothing more than Christians in false Judaic clothing, the same techniques of confusion, verbal gymnastics, and "implicit" proofs are the standard techniques used by these daughters of Christianity to promote the same lie of a "God in the flesh" Messiah. All manner of "hints" and "clues" have been stripped from their overall Biblical context, divorced from their original Hebraic world view, and used to allegedly "prove" the deity of Messiah by these artists of deception - an issue I also address below.
I realized that even though I have the overwhelming support of Scripture, most of which I present on this site, if I engaged in verse warfare with the servants of deception it would only perpetuate the confusion and frustration of those that struggle to swim through the ocean of contradictory theology. It would also force me to fight on their "turf" - turf they have successfully turned into a slimy sea of putrid muck. So, instead of diving into the yucky ocean of deception Constantinian Christian and counterfeit Messianic leaders have created, I decided to fly over the ocean - out of reach of the sea dragons of deceptive confusion that rule the waters of religious falsehood. And boy oh boy - are those dragons mad! They are mad because I am out of their territory and beyond the reach of their gaping mouths of false doctrine. They are now forced to fight on "common sense" turf - turf which totally disarms them! Thus far, fearing certain defeat, they dare not venture out of their dark and fraudulent waters into the clean air of simple, common sense, contextual truth. They dare not touch many of the issues I raise below as they "Frequently Avoid" the Questions and issues I present.
During my initial meditation upon how best to approach the subject I was pondering the simplicity of the fact that Messiah is NOT God, saying to myself:
"It is so easy to see. How can people be so blind to the truth? It's simply a matter of basic common sense reasoning from Scripture. The Scriptures are full of the common sense truth. Wait! THAT'S IT!"
And thus was born the somewhat unique approach I take to the topic of Messiah's alleged deity - an approach Trinitarians and all other mystery Babylon man-God Messiah promoters despise. I decided to fly above the fray and focus the laser of truth upon the COMMON SENSE nature of the relationship between YHVH (God) and Messiah. At the time I had no idea how effective my approach would be. I did not realize how powerfully destructive it would be to the fortresses of Christian and counterfeit Messianic trickery. So powerful, in fact, that their only real defense is to try and prevent people from looking at the issue using common sense! They hate common sense even more than they hate Scriptural context!
It has now been several years since my web site first went online, and I have yet to have one single person dare to respond to the common sense approach I take in the list of "frequently avoided questions." They do not respond with a defense of their position because to do so they would have to expose their lack of common sense, and thus expose their greatest weakness, which is that their arguments are illogical and skillfully phrased falsehood. As I say in an article in which I attempt to explain the tone of my articles:
"The same people that would consider it utter stupidity to sign an insurance policy, a financial contract, or most any other agreement of significance without first making sure they fully understand the details of the agreement will, nevertheless, place their infinitely valuable eternal souls into the hands of their religious leaders without even being able to rationally (using common sense) explain their beliefs! Traditional Christians and counterfeit Messianics/Nazarenes naively base their eternal destiny on a belief (the deity of Messiah) that even they ultimately are forced to admit is an "unexplainable mystery"! My friend, the term for that is - frankly - spiritual stupidity, and one reason for the resentment others show those like myself ... is due to their own frustration at not being able to substantiate their "mysterious" belief that Messiah is "God in the flesh." So, in truth, they vigorously oppose those like me because I expose the outrageous nature of their belief. I expose their lack of spiritual common sense! I expose their ignorance and the fragile religious house of straw they choose to live in. Christians and counterfeit Messianics are in denial of their own self-imposed and preferred ignorance of a common sense understanding of Scripture and seemingly love to have it so. Of course, Christian and counterfeit Messianic leaders oppose me largely because I threaten their incomes and power. I threaten their often profitable careers and the worship from others that fuels their sometimes enormous egos."
Messiah Yahshua actually promoted such a "common sense" reasoning approach as part of his meaning in the following passage(s) as he was praying to his God - the same God Trinitarians and/or man-God Messiah promoters need to discover:
Ok. What are some of the many common tactics used to "frequently avoid" the questions I raise?
First, it is typical for those disagreeing with me to repeatedly raise the same issues over and over and over without ever looking at the evidence I present, which usually addresses the issues they raise. It finally got so bad that I was forced to write a "standard reply" email that I send to such people.
Secondly I discovered that it is particularly common for people to respond with, "It's one of the mysteries of the Godhead," or "I assume there must be a Scriptural explanation and IF I can find it I may send it to you." Well, to date no one has ever sent me the explanations they "assume" to be in Scripture. Friend, what does that suggest? Obviously, they never were able to find the answers in Scripture and were too ashamed to admit it. I expect they knew they would not find the answer but cannot bring themselves to admit that their faith is Scripturally unsubstantiated.
Third, there are those who respond by simply admitting they accept the blasphemy inherent in some of the issues. For instance, some individuals openly profess no problem in believing that God can (and DID) die and/or that God can be enticed to sin! Seriously! I'm not joking! The deception is so bad that many Christians and counterfeit Messianics knowingly accept and promote such blasphemy and actually think they glorify God in doing so! Such "responses" are not responses at all. Instead, they are acknowledgments that I am correct in my assessment - that my arguments exposing the profane nature of the man-God Messiah teachings correctly reveal the demonic foundations of such a doctrine. Amazingly, such "responses" actually prove my position for me! I have received numerous such "responses" that strengthen my position and my resolve to oppose the demonic deceptions of Constantinian Christian and counterfeit Messianic, leaders.
Confirmation of the demonic nature of the "God in the flesh" teaching, such as the example just mentioned, is not a "response" and will not be accepted. If you wish to admit that you see no problem with the blasphemous implications of the man-God Messiah arguments, then I praise you for being honest but do not accept admission of blasphemy as a legitimate defense of the "God in the flesh" doctrine. The responses I am looking for are those that explain how my presentation of such false teachings is wrong. For example, how can one accept (using common sense) the man-God Messiah doctrine without also accepting that God can die or be be enticed to sin. How can God worship and pray to God? etc.?
Fourth, and very similar to tactic number 1, they may read the questions and then partially respond without ever reading the article I link to in which that specific issue is discussed. Those that utilize this tactic claim to have responded; however, since they refuse to seriously study the evidence I present, they are actually still avoiding the issue, and also, due to their stubborn bias, continue to promote the same typical errors that I address in the articles they avoid. This is another way they refuse to consider the evidence I present. The questions so scare them that they avoid the articles for fear that the fragile nature of their false beliefs may be further revealed.
Many of the issues I raise in my FAQ list cannot be legitimately responded to or explained using common sense reasoning from the overall context of Scripture without causing those accepting the "God in the flesh" belief to look foolish; therefore, the mystery-Babylon man-God Sungod promoters side-step the questions by plucking their favorite verses from the Bible - after shredding the context - and sending them. Their hope is that this will allow them to redirect the discussion to their verses instead of the issues I raise, which cause them such discomfort because they have no answer. They practice "slight of hand" with the Scriptures and intend to bog-down the discussion in a "verse war" in which Bible verses are launched back and forth instead of responding to the questions I present. This is the classic tactic used by man-God Messiah promoters as they avoid the issues I raise. Well, nice try, but I've seen that trick too many times to fall for it again. Such "verse throwers" are intentionally avoiding the issues and somehow seem to think they can conceal their deceit and refusal to respond by packing some verses in an email they send to me. Eventually, when they realize I will not fall for their trick, they either cease all communication, having never answered the questions, or they "punch out" of the debate using their ever-present "mystery" or "Kabbalah mysticism" ejection device.
No one likes to openly show their beliefs to be foolish and themselves to be fools for accepting them; therefore, most "responses" are crafty "avoidances." Such people perform this often seen "Trinity dance" by refusing to even try to present a common sense explanation of their beliefs. They refuse to explain or respond to the actual issues yet claim to be doing so if they send Bible verses. Once again they prove my position for me by showing how they have no common sense explanation. In fact, they prove they have no idea how to even begin to explain.
Hello? Mr. and Mrs. man-God promoter! Explain it! Don't attempt to avoid it by sending Bible verses that fail to explain the issue! Explain to me how the questions I pose can be resolved using common sense - EACH INDIVIDUAL ISSUE! Don't simply send me alleged "proof" verses, all of which I've already seen, while cleverly avoiding the issues. Such responses are why I call the issues I raise "Frequently Avoided Questions." RESPOND to the questions! Don't avoid them. Don't dance around the issues. Don't attempt to redirect the focus away from the questions, and don't eject by claiming "it's a mystery!"
I do not claim to be able to perfectly understand the Holy Truth; however, most of these issues are extremely easy to understand since they involve simple, basic, common sense reasoning! Also, to the horror of the servants of deception, the list may grow; so, check back periodically if you wish.
