Why a Christian

should never claim

to be a Trinitarian

Before we begin...

Before we begin, we need to first answer the following question.

Do names matter to the Almighty?

If, from reading your Bible, you have come to see that names are very important to the Almighty, the first portion of this booklet will be a blessing to you.

We should consider...

If names are not that important why did the Almighty give special names to His people? More importantly, why did the Almighty give a special Name to Himself!

And... what is that Name?

If we could go back in time...

If we could go back in time and ask the disciples, “Would you take us to see Jesus?” They would have gotten a puzzled look on their face and said, “Who?”

You see, the disciples never knew the Messiah by that name. They would have said, “Please come, we want you to meet Yahshua, the Messiah!”

The name Yahshua, is pronounced like “Joshua” with a “Y.” The emphasis remains with the Almighty’s name ‘Yah,’ in the first syllable.

The History of the name ‘Jesus’

For nearly fifteen hundred years after our Savior walked the earth, the world had never heard the name “Jesus.”

The name Jesus first appeared in the King James Version revision of 1769, 243 years ago as an anglicized transcription of the Latin name ‘Iesus’ (KJV of 1611) which is a translation of the Greek name ‘Ieousus.’

By 1769, our Saviors original Hebrew name, had been *transliterated three times, in three different languages:

*transliterate: to write or print (a letter or word) using the closest corresponding letters of a different alphabet or language.


• The first, from Hebrew to Greek.• The second, from Greek to Latin.• The third, from Latin to English.

In 1384, John Wycliffe translated the New Testament to English for the first time. His only source was the Latin Vulgate. Wycliffe used the Latin spelling and pronunciation of Iesus.

The printing press had not yet been invented and only a few handwritten copies of Wycliffe's Bible were produced. In the 1450's, Gutenburg invented the printing press. Then, in 1526 William Tyndale translated the New Testament into the English language from the Latin Vulgate, along with the additional help of some ancient Greek manuscripts. Tyndale wanted the Bible translated into the language of the common people and many copies of his translation were printed with the help of the printing press. Tyndale was the first to use the letter ‘J’ in the spelling of the name Jesus. There was no letter ‘J’ in any language, prior to the fourteenth century in England. The letter did not become widely used until the Seventeenth century. This new spelling soon became pronounced by the people as “Jee-zuz.”

There was no letter ‘J’ in the original 1611 version of the King James Bible because it did not exist. James was spelled Iames. Jesus was spelled Iesus.

The letter ‘J’ was first used in the 1769 version of the King James Bible.*

* Perhaps the biggest difference between the 1611 and 1769 versions of the King James Bible is spelling. For instance, there was no letter "J" in 1611 so "Jesus" was spelled "Iesus." TheKJVstore.com


Another error... Yahshua, changed to Yeshua

There is another error that must be addressed when discussing our Saviors name. Some have mistranslated our Savior’s name, changing it from Yahshua, to ‘Yeshua’. The error of changing Yah to ‘Ye’ is due to the manmade tradition of the Jewish priests. Their reverence for the holy name caused them to believe that it was too sacred to pronounce.

To prevent the pronunciation of the name Yahshua, the priests changed the vowel points from an ‘a’ to an ‘e’ in the Tetragrammaton YHWH, and omitted the letter ‘H’ altogether, resulting in ‘Ye’.

Thus, the name ‘Yeshua’ removes the Almighty Father’s name YAH and His role as Savior completely!

Scripture tells us we have only one Savior… the Father Himself.

‘I, even I, am the LORD, (Yahweh) and apart from Me there is NO Savior.

Isaiah 43:11

Scripture tells us the Father’s name is YAH, not Ye.

Look at the following scriptures declaring the Father’s name is YAH: (YAH - Strong’s H3050)


Exodus 15:2; Exodus 17:16; Psalm 68:4,18; Psalm 77:11; Psalm 89:8; Palm 94:7, 12; Psalm 102:18; Psalm 104:35; Psalm 105:45; Psalm 106:1, 48; Psalm 111:1; Psalm 112:1; Psalm113:1; Psalm 113:9; Psalm 115:17, 18; Psalm 116:19; Psalm 117:2; Psalm 118:5, 14, 17, 18, 19; Psalm 122:4; Psalm 130:3; Psalm135:1, 3, 4, 21; Psalm 146:1, 10; Psalm 147:1, 20; Psalm 148:1, 14; Psalm 149: 1, 9; Psalm 150:1, 6; Isaiah 12: 2; Isaiah 26:4; Isaiah 38:11; and we clearly see the Almighty's name is YAH in Revelation 19:1-6, as the multitudes praise Him saying, Halleluyah! Which means, “Praise YAH, you people.”

King David tells us plainly in Psalm 68:4 that the Almighty’s name is YAH. David writes:

“Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name YAH, and rejoice before Him.”

Our Savior Himself tells us plainly His name is Yahshua, not Yeshua.

…keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me…

John 17:11 NASU

We know from scripture the Fathers name is YAH, not Ye. Because the Almighty’s name is YAH, the name ‘Yeshua’ is not only incorrect, it eliminates the Almighty’s name altogether!

Yahshua, is the correct name of the Almighty, our Savior.


The Almighty’s name is YAH in the Old Testament… but does the Almighty, as Savior, still have the name

YAH in the New Testament?

YES!

In the Old Testament, when you see YHWH (YAH-WEH) or LORD; it is proclaiming the Almighty’s name YAH, which is followed by a ‘descriptor’. The descriptor is the word ‘WEH’, which means, “The Self-Existent one” (I AM). So, the name YAHWEH means, ‘YAH - The Self-Existent one’ (I AM).

The Almighty proclaims His name to us in the New Testament and notice… He does not permit anyone… to give Him a different name. (Matthew 1:21; Luke 2:21)

“and you shall call His name Yahshua”

YAH, waited to give us His highest name in the New Testament!

Now, YAH combines His name with His highest ‘descriptor’!

What is His highest descriptor?

It is the word ‘SHUA’, which means “is salvation”. When you combine the Almighty’s name YAH, with the word SHUA, it means, “YAH is salvation”!

The Father… the Almighty, proclaims His name as Savior!

This is why the name Yahshua, is the name above all names!


How do you say Netanyahu in English?

• How do you say, “Chevrolet” in Japanese?

• How do you say, “Coca-Cola” in Russian?

• How do you say, “Yamaha” or “Mitsubishi” in English?

Have you noticed, proper names do not change sounds when moving from language to language. There may be some inflection here and there, but the name itself should be recognizable no matter what language you are speaking.

Listen carefully when people speak in a foreign language. No matter what language they are speaking, even if you don’t speak that language, you will be able to distinguish the proper names they say. It has nothing to do with what language you speak.

We say the names of people from foreign lands all the time without feeling the need to first change them into ‘our’ language.

People all over the world say the following names:Vladimir Putin, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Mao Zedong, and Che Guevara, without changing them.

Why is it the Hebrew names from scripture need to be changed?

Examples: Yahshua... has been changed to JesusMiryam... has been changed to MaryYochanan... has been changed to JohnYaakov... has been changed to James


Could this have been Intentional?

Scripture tell us,

There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”

Acts 4:12

Can you think of anyone, who from the beginning, has tried to alter, obfuscate and eliminate this name from both sight and sound?

We must remember that when the “priests” and “Sadducees” commanded the Apostles not to speak in the name of our Savior, they were talking about our Savior’s real name...Yahshua!

Scripture tells us YAH chose this name for Himself. He did not allow others to choose a name for Him. (Matthew 1:21; Luke 2:21)

The name He chose was Yahshua, which means, “YAH is salvation.”

When a person believes in the name Yahshua, he is believing what that name means - that YAH, the Almighty Father is the Savior in human form.

Who is Yahshua?

He is YAH, our Savior!


The Almighty’s true name…

The Almighty’s true name, Yahshua, has been transliterated, changed and seemingly forgotten over the centuries.

As amazing as it sounds, the name ‘Jesus’ has been in existence for only the last four hundred years. No one on earth, born before the 17th century, had ever spoken or heard the name ‘Jesus’. The reason simply being this name did not exist before that time.

Yahshua has blessed us however, because of our love and faith in Him! He allowed us to grow spiritually through the names that people have known Him by over the years. Names such as Iesus, and Jesus have been a blessing to us who used them because we have not previously known His real name.

What now are we to do with our new given knowledge?

I’m reminded of a time I mistakingly called someone I had met by a name not their own. This person very politely told me what their name actually was (I guess all of us desire to be called by our real name). Anyway, from that moment on I always called him by his true name.

And the LORD shall be King over all the earth.In that day it shall be—

“The LORD is one,”And His name one.

Zechariah 14:9


Things to Think About Before We Begin...

• Was Moses a Trinitarian?

• When the Israelites prayed or heard the words,

“Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one,"

Don't you think they were expected to understand these words?

• If the Almighty was aware that his choice of language and imagery would lead generations of people to believe that He is one person, when He was not one person, wouldn't that make Him a deceiver?

• When the Almighty manifested Himself in the flesh on earth (1 Timothy 3:16), did He ever teach the doctrine of ‘the Trinity’ to anyone?

• Did Paul, who wrote two thirds of the books in the New Testament, ever teach the doctrine of ‘the Trinity’ to anyone... ever?

• Did any prophet in the Old Testament, ever teach the doctrine of ‘the Trinity’ to anyone…ever?

• Has anyone, in the entire Bible, from its beginning to its end, ever taught the doctrine of ‘the Trinity’ to anyone?

• If the doctrine of the Trinity is so fundamental to Christianity, as Trinitarians claim, why is there a complete failure on the part of Yahshua, the prophets or apostles to articulate it anywhere?

God is not a God of confusion … 1 Corinthians 14:33


Now, let’s begin our study…

Question: I was taught there is a ‘trinity,’ or ‘three persons’ in heaven. My question is this. Was God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit all in heaven and then God the Father, sent God the Son, to earth?

Answer:

Trinitarians are taught that for ‘all eternity’ there have been ‘three persons’ who reside in heaven. These ‘three persons’ are who make… ‘one’ God.

The ‘three persons’ are:

THE ‘FIRST PERSON’ - God the Father is preeminent. He is the ‘first’ person.

THE ‘SECOND PERSON’ - The son, is the ‘second’ person.

THE ‘THIRD PERSON’ - The Holy Spirit is the ‘third’ person.


What is the basic difference between those who believe The Almighty is “one person”…

and those who believe He is “three persons”?

Let’s look at these basic differences.

1. Trinitarians believe that the one Almighty consists of three persons, while those who believe the Almighty is one person, simply believe that the Almighty is… well, one person and there are no ‘other’ persons involved.

2. Trinitarians believe it was the ‘second person’ of the three persons that became incarnated; while those who believe the Almighty is one person believes that the Father, Himself… became incarnated as the Son of God.

To say it another way, trinitarians say it was the ‘second person’ of the trinity, not the Father, who became man; while those who believe the Almighty is one person believe that the Father, became man.

3. Trinitarians believe that the ‘second person’ has always been eternal, while those who believe the Almighty is one person believe that the ‘Son of God’ did not come into being until His manifestation at the incarnation.


These old paintings depict the ‘mental picture’ most trinitarians get when they think of the ‘three persons’ in the ‘trinity.’

Trinitarians are taught that an eternal ‘second person’, came down from heaven...

Friends, this is not what happened!

This is a good time to answer a very important question.

Question: Is the doctrine of the trinity scriptural?


What if I told you there is no such thing as a trinity

If I told you there is no such thing as a Trinity mentioned in the Bible, you might become offended. But you must understand that this is not a sacrilegious statement. This is a statement of fact and it’s true based on the Holy scriptures and the concept of the oneness of the Almighty (Deuteronomy 4:35, 39; 6:4; 32:39; Isaiah 41:4; 42:8; 43:3-11, 10-13; 44:6, 8, 24; 45:5, 6, 15, 21, 22, 23; 46:8, 9; 47:4; 48:12; 49:26; 52:6). The Almighty says that He is one.

The Almighty, who has always been one, has presented or manifested Himself in various forms and various ways in times past to accomplish His purposes in the salvation of mankind.

Regardless of how many ways the Almighty has manifested Himself, He was, is, and will always will be ONE.

Let’s look at a few of the ways the Almighty has manifested Himself in times past...

Genesis 18: The Almighty visits Abraham.

Genesis 32: Jacob wrestles with the Almighty.

Exodus 3:1 Moses and the burning bush, where Yah made Himself known to deliver His people from slavery in Egypt.

Exodus 13: Leading the Israelites out of Egypt into the promised land. The Almighty manifested Himself as a pillar of a cloud during the day and a pillar of fire by night. Exodus 13:21


Daniel 3: King Nebuchadnezzar and Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. The three refused to bow down to other gods and were thrown into the fiery furnace. A fourth appeared and even the king called him 'son of the gods' found in Daniel 3:24.

Matthew 1: Yahshua, the Messiah Yahshua is the Father Himself manifested in the Flesh (1 Timothy 3:16). The Almighty, Himself came to Earth in the form of a man, to redeem man back to Himself. He said in the Book of Isaiah 43:11, ‘I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from Me there is NO Savior.’ There are many references throughout the Book of Isaiah where The Almighty made it perfectly clear that He alone is our Savior. As a man, He became our Savior and died for us as a perfect, spotless, sinless man. He promised us that He would come to earth and that He is our Savior. There is no Savior other than The Almighty Himself (Isaiah 9:6; 43:11; 45:21; Hosea 13:4).

Matthew 3: The Spirit of God descended like a dove.

Mark 16:12 “After that, He (Yahshua) appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking along on their way to the country.”

Clearly, there have been many manifestations of the Almighty… but He has always been One!


Jewish Believers - One Almighty Verses The Trinity

There is only ONE Church ... and it came through the Jewish people.

Most people don’t realize that to be called a ‘Christian’ (a ‘follower of Christ’) was made possible by Jews. Jews were called ‘Christians’ (followers of Christ) before any Gentile ever was. In the beginning, Gentile believers came to ‘follow Yahshua, the Messiah’ through the ministry and efforts of the Jews. By the Almighty’s plan, Gentiles were invited in, “grafted in” and taught by Jews to be a part of the one church, made up of ALL FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST!

Let’s consider Paul...

Paul described himself as “a Hebrew of the Hebrews”

If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so: circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

Paul's Letter to the Philippians 3:4-5

And in Acts 22:3 Paul said,

"I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the strictness of our fathers' law, and was zealous toward God as you all are today.” Acts 22:3


Paul also called himself “the apostle of the Gentiles” (Romans 11:13) and twice referred to his role as that of “a teacher of the Gentiles.” (1 Timothy 2:7; 2 Timothy 1:11)

He contended strongly for the full inclusion of Gentile believers in the fellowship of the Church on equal footing with Jewish believers (see Acts 15:1-29). More than anyone else, he is credited with opening wide the door for Gentiles to be saved and embraced as brothers and sisters in the family of Yahshua.

Clearly Paul, who was hand picked by Yahshua Himself, is not a person someone would call a ‘spiritual lightweight’ or an ‘outsider’ to the things pertaining to the Almighty.

Interestingly though, Paul ...

1. with his extensive scriptural knowledge as a Jewish scholar...

2. with his personal revelations from the Almighty Himself...

“I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows.”

2 Corinthians 12:2

In this “third heaven” Paul heard “inexpressible things that man is not permitted to tell.”

3. and who personally wrote two-thirds of all the books of the New Testament by inspiration of The Holy Spirit,


Paul, NEVER ONCE teaches about (or even mentions) the Almighty being ‘three persons.’

Paul, chosen by the Almighty Himself “to be a teacher to the Gentiles” never utters one word in all his writings about what others would come to call the ‘Trinity Doctrine’ some three hundred years later.

In his simple statement, “I am indeed a Jew” (Acts 22:3), Paul unashamedly declared and embraced all his ethnic and religious identity. This Jewish identity always needs to be emphasized afresh for a number of reasons; but let’s emphasize just one aspect at this time, for the purposes of this writing.

The Jewish religion of Yahshua’s day was strictly monotheistic! The Jewish people were not henotheistic (meaning God is the greatest of many gods), nor were they monolatrous (meaning the worship of God alone but acknowledging that other gods might exist). Jewish people were strictly monotheistic, meaning there is only one Almighty!

According to the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, on no other point were the Jews more united than on the confession "God is one" (vol. 3, page 98).

Jewish people are, and have been, strictly monotheistic for one very good reason - because from the very beginning of their history as His chosen people, Yah Himself has told them to be monotheistic! (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5; Job 13:7-8; Malachi 2:10)


On this point, Paul had to teach the Gentiles from a Jewish perspective, the oneness of the Almighty, so they would not be deceived into believing in a doctrine of more than one God according to the paganistic beliefs of that day. Could the same be true today?

Only with an understanding of Paul’s intensely Jewish heritage of knowing ‘God is one’ can we fully appreciate the significance of Paul repeatedly calling Yahshua, our Lord!

Paul’s words to a young disciple say it all:

And I thank Christ Jesus, our Lord, ...

Note: No doubt Paul was very familiar with Isaiah 40:3 which says,

The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of the LORD; Make straight in the

desert a highway for our God.

Note: Because of Paul, “a Hebrew of the Hebrews,” Jewish believers today need never feel they are foreigners in the community of the Messiah where it is well known that...

“Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one!”


What Yahshua taught about monotheism

Yahshua was addressed as “Rabbi” by His disciples, the Pharisees, John the Baptist’s disciples, the common people, teachers of the Torah, Herodians and the Sadducees.

And Jesus answered and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he said, “Rabbi, what is it?” Luke 7:40

And behold, a rich man came up to him and said, “Rabbi, what good thing must I do to have eternal life?”

Matthew 19:16

A lawyer asked him a question to test him: “Rabbi, what is the greatest commandment in the Torah?”

Matthew 22:35-36

And someone in the crowd said to him, “Rabbi, order my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” Luke 12:13


And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Rabbi, rebuke your disciples.” Luke 19:39

Some of the Sadducees came up to him…and they asked him, saying, “Rabbi….” Luke 20:27-28

Note the diversity of those who addressed Yahshua as Rabbi. Seven (7) different groups/types of people refer to Yahshua as “Rabbi” or “teacher” (the rough translation):

1. His disciples (Mark 9:5; Mark 11:21 etc.)2. Pharisees (John 3:1-2) 3. John the Baptist’s disciples (John 1:35-38) 4. Common people (Mark 10:51; John 6:24-25) 5. Torah teachers (Matthew 8:19)6. Herodians (Luke 3:12) 7. and the Sadducees (Matthew 22:23-32)

Additionally, Yahshua refers to Himself by this title!

(See Matthew 23:8; John 13:12-14; Luke 22:10-11)


When a scribe asked Yahshua which command was greatest, Yahshua replied by quoting the Shema':

“Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.” Mark 12:29-30

With this the scribe agreed wholeheartedly:

“Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He. (verse 32)

Notice... The scribe, speaking of the Almighty, said “He” …. in the singular, denoting or referring to just one person.

Note: This would have been a great ‘teachable moment’ if Yahshua would have wanted to help him with the ‘NEW’ Jewish doctrine of the ‘Trinity’. Yahshua might have said something like, “Well, the Almighty is one in unity but God is really ‘three’ persons.”

Or, something like that.... but... He didn’t.

‘God is One’... More New Testament Scriptures to look at:

Mark 12:29; Luke 2:11; 1 Corinthians 8:4; 1 Corinthians 10:4; 2 Corinthians 5:19; Colossians 1:14-19; 2:9; Hebrews 1:3; Philippians 2:6, 10-11; Colossians 2:8-10


Yahshua has always told us that He is one; not ‘three persons’, not a ‘trio’ of persons, nor ‘three in one’. You must first believe in the oneness of the Almighty in order to understand who He is.

The Trinitarian Doctrine is man’s effort to explain how the Almighty has revealed Himself as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, yet remained one God.

Once you understand the oneness of the Almighty and that Yahshua is the only Almighty, you will find that all the other scriptures will be both logical and harmonious.

If you have ever tried to understand the Trinity, forget it, it is scripturally unexplainable. I have never found anyone who understands the Trinity, nor can they logically explain the Trinitarian concept.

Over the years, endless books and articles have been written about the ‘Trinity Doctrine’… but oddly… Yahshua, the prophets, Paul and the other inspired writers of Holy Scripture… never mention it!

It is actually painful to read, or watch these people attempt to explain, what they invariably always end up calling, ‘the unknowable, unfathomable mystery of the Trinity.’

Example: This is an actual quote from an article, written by one who espouses and teaches the ‘Trinity Doctrine.’

“Trinity Doctrine - How Can We Comprehend It? The most difficult thing about the Trinity Doctrine is that there is no way to adequately explain it. The Trinity is a concept that is impossible for any human being to fully understand, let alone explain.”


And another quote…

“Trinity Doctrine - A foundation of the Christian faith that's beyond human comprehension.”

It is no wonder these people struggle to teach and explain the ‘Trinity Doctrine.’ They struggle because The Old Testament doesn’t teach it; the New Testament doesn’t teach it, Yahshua doesn’t teach it; Paul doesn’t teach it; Peter doesn’t teach it and John doesn’t teach it!

Who wouldn’t struggle and be frustrated trying to teach people that the Almighty is “three persons” ....when the Almighty Himself has always taught His people He is one!

The Trinitarian doctrine is the main reason why Jewish people cannot, and will not, accept Christianity. Remember, the Jews were warned on more than one occasion by the Almighty Himself.

“Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one!”

Deuteronomy 6:4

How can they accept, or even understand the philosophy of the ‘Trinitarian’ doctrine? Based on the scriptures in both the Old and New Testaments, the ‘Trinitarian’ concept is not taught, nor explained by the writers inspired by the Holy Spirit.

The ‘Trinity doctrine’ is not understandable, nor is it scriptural.


If you study the “Trinity” in other religions, you will see the relationship between the ‘Trinity Doctrine’ and the false gods of these religions. The Almighty does not have a relationship with other gods or “persons.”

The Jewish people are absolutely correct in believing in the “absolute oneness” of the Almighty and that same oneness can be proven in the New Testament.

Yahshua stressed this oneness when He said,

“The first of all the commandments is: Hear, O Israel, The LORD our God, the LORD is one.”

Mark 12:29

It is biblically incorrect to speak of the Almighty as a ‘trinity’ or ‘trio’ of ‘persons.’

“Persons,” in reference to the Almighty, is not in the Bible, it is not scriptural, nor is there a commandment to worship ‘three persons’. This makes the doctrine of the Trinity an unsound doctrine.

People attempt to use human logic and tradition to think that the Almighty is ‘three persons’ but the ‘Trinity Doctrine’ is unscriptural.

The ‘Trinity Doctrine’ should never be associated with the Christian faith. True Christians are strictly monotheistic. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Luke 2:11; Mark 12:29; Philippians 2:6, 10-11; Colossians 2:8-10)


How is it that ‘Trinitarians’ will tell the Almighty that He is ‘three persons’ when He, Himself repeatedly tells us He is ONE?

Let’s do an experiment which will tell you immediately whether the Almighty is ‘three persons’ or one person.

If you know your Bible, find a scripture where the Almighty refers to Himself as “three persons.”

Now, let me show you where He has spoken of Himself as one Almighty, and one person (Deuteronomy 6:4; Job 13:7-8; Luke 2:11; 1 Corinthians 10:4; 2 Corinthians 5:19; Colossians 1:14-19; 2:9; Hebrews 1:3).

“God is not a God of confusion,” nor will He contradict Himself. The Almighty is one person and He has revealed Himself as one person in the face of Yahshua, the Messiah. (2 Corinthians 4:6)

The New Testament will align itself perfectly with the beliefs of the Jewish people who believe in one Almighty as they were correctly taught in the Old Testament.

There are a number of faiths that consider Christians to be idolators and infidels because we try to push the theory of ‘three persons’ in one Almighty.

The three person theory is foreign to true Christianity and to Jewish people that believe in the one Almighty of heaven and earth.


The Apostle Paul warns us....

But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

Galatians 1:8-9

Again… Things to Think About

Did Yahshua, Paul or any of the inspired writers of the New Testament ever teach the ‘Trinity Doctrine’ to anyone… ever?

Did any prophet in the Old Testament ever teach the ‘Trinity Doctrine’ to anyone...ever?

Has anyone in the entire Bible ever taught the ‘Trinity Doctrine’ to anyone?


Why the ‘Trinity Doctrine’ is so damaging to believers!

It is unscriptural!

1. Truth be told, the trinity doctrine actually forces people to oppose the Almighty’s written word regarding His number.

• The Almighty, His prophets and His word say one thing in the Holy Scriptures regarding His number. The ‘trinity doctrine’ teaches people something completely different.

2. It creates confusion for the believer.

• Is the Almighty one person? ..... or three persons’?

3. It keeps people from knowing and proclaiming the Almighty’s name.

• If the Almighty is ‘three persons’… and all three persons are gathered together as Trinitarian paintings depict… What is His Name?


Note:

There are actually books telling people they need to make sure they pray to the ‘third person’ too, and not to leave him out! The books tell people that this oversight on their part (not praying specifically to the ‘third person’) is probably why their prayers aren’t being answered. They have neglected and offended the ‘third person’ of the ‘trinity’ and have not given him his due!

The Catholic Pope Francis, told people on January 11, 2015…

“We usually pray to Jesus,” Francis said. “When we pray the ‘Our Father,’ we pray to the Father. But we don’t pray so much to the Holy Spirit. It is so important to pray to the Holy Spirit,” he said.

Catholics, as well as many Protestants, are teaching their followers they should pray to three separate entities! This is totally unscriptural and is in fact, paganistic.


Scriptures teach the Almighty hates ‘Child Sacrifice’

Yet, Trinitarians teach HE engaged in it Himself!

This following article is taken from from gotquestions.com: http://www.gotquestions.org/child-sacrifice.html

Question: "What does the Bible say about child sacrifice?"

Answer: The horrific practice of child sacrifice has been committed throughout the world for thousands of years. Generally, the sacrifice of a child was intertwined with the worship of a pagan deity, often a fertility god. Worshipers sought to obtain a blessing from their god(s) or to confirm or complete a vow taken in the name of the god.

Ancient Aztecs, Incas, and a few other peoples in South and Central America practiced child sacrifice. The same for the Druids of Europe. The city of Carthage in North Africa contains evidence of child sacrifice related to the worship of Ba’al Hammon, a god imported from Phoenicia. Many Roman writers refer to this barbaric act in Carthage.


This quote is from the CBN Website: http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/churchandministry/evangelism/

“God saw fit to make the sacrifice of His only Son.”

The Bible contains the heart-breaking tale of child sacrifice practiced in the name of Molech (also spelled Moloch or Molek), a god of the Ammonites. Molech worship was practiced by the Ammonites and Canaanites, who revered Molech as a protecting father figure.

Images of Molech were made of bronze, and their outstretched arms were heated red-hot. Living children were then placed into the idol’s hands and died there or were rolled into a fire pit below. Some sources indicate a child might also be “passed through the fire” prior to the actual sacrifice in order to purify or baptize the child.

Molech worship occurred in the Hinnom Valley near Jerusalem. Because of this, the valley became associated with the idea of Tophet, or hell (Isaiah 30:33; Jeremiah 19:12; Mark 9:45).

God prohibited child sacrifice. Leviticus 20:2-3 states,

“Say to the Israelites: ‘Any Israelite or any foreigner residing in Israel who sacrifices any of his children to Molek is to be put to death. The members of the community are to stone him. I myself will set my face against him and will cut him off from his people; for by sacrificing his children to Molek, he has defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name.

Many other Old Testament passages affirm God’s zero-tolerance for child sacrifice.

The evil king Manassah offered his own son as a sacrifice (2 Kings 21:6), as did King Ahaz (2 Chronicles 28:1-4). The people of Judah participated in this crime against their own sons— a sin so “detestable” that God said it had never even crossed His mind (Jeremiah 32:35).

They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molek, though I never commanded—nor did it enter my mind—that they should do such a detestable thing and so make Judah sin.

Jeremiah 32:35

Child sacrifice was one reason for the Babylonian captivity (v. 36).

Some critics of the Bible point to the story of Abraham, who laid his son Isaac on an altar and prepared to sacrifice him as directed by God (Genesis 22;1-14). However, in this case, God was testing the obedience and faith of Abraham. God stopped him from actually following through and provided a ram as a substitute sacrifice.

Today, child sacrifice is practiced throughout the world. There has been a resurgence of child sacrifice in Uganda. Witch doctors have been implicated in the mutilation and death of children who were killed in an effort to bring good fortune and wealth to those willing to pay for it. There is also a correlation between child sacrifice and modern-day abortion. Unprecedented numbers of children have been “sacrificed” at the hands of abortionists for the sake of convenience, immorality, or pride. Hundreds of thousands of babies have been killed so that their parents can maintain a certain lifestyle.

God hates “hands that shed innocent blood” (Proverbs 6:17), and we can be sure that God will judge this horrendous sin.

Question:If the Almighty Father Himself, clearly teaches in His word that He hates the terrible sin of ‘child sacrifice’, do you actually believe He would engage in ‘child sacrifice’ HIMSELF?

If the Almighty Father sent, what the trinitarians call the ‘second person’, to die on the cross, then He instituted CHILD SACRIFICE. This is in total disharmony with anything Biblical concerning the nature of the Almighty. The Almighty Father did not so love the world that He said, “Son, I love them down there so much, I’m going to sacrifice you!” The Almighty Father did not send an ‘eternal second person’ to die for mankind! He came Himself!

The Almighty Father wrapped Himself in flesh and endured an insulting, humiliating death - all to pay the ransom for sinful, condemned mankind.

‘I, even I, am the LORD, (Yahweh) and apart from Me there is NO Savior.

Isaiah 43:11

Always Remember...

Immanuel does not mean, “God’s son with us.”

Immanuel means, “God with us.”


Let’s return for a moment to Abraham, in the book of Genesis. Let’s see something that’s very important in Genesis 22:8:

And Abraham said, My son, God will provide *(for) himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

* Please note, the word for is not in the original manuscripts, but was added by the translators.

The verse is actually:

And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

Do you see?

The Almighty will provide HIMSELF a lamb…

1Timothy 3:16 tells us:

“God was manifested in the flesh…”

Scriptures do not say God’s son was manifested in the flesh!


Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers,

to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

Acts 20:28

Do we REALLY know who the Almighty is?

A challenge for you....

Go to a Christian Bible study and ask this simple question...

“What is the Almighty’s name?”

This is what you will most probably experience...

a. The people will get a blank, confused look on their face, as if you had just asked them, “What time is it in Istanbul?”

b. Then they will look around to see if anybody is going to make a guess.

c. At some point, someone in the group will timidly make a first guess, “It’s Jehovah, isn’t it?”, “I think it’s Jehovah ...right?”

“Isn’t it Jehovah?” ....as they look to the other group members for a little help and support!

d. Then, another in the group will reluctantly venture out with a guess of their own, “Isn’t it Adonai?”... “I think it’s Adonai” .... as they too scan the faces of those around them looking for some sign of validation... or approval.

e. “I think it’s Elohim,” says another nodding his head up and down.


Friends, this should not be!

We, of all people, should know the name of the Almighty!

Thomas did! He called Yahshua his “Lord” and his “God.”

Our Gods name is Yahshua!

What love and grace it was when the Almighty, the Creator of the whole universe, gave us His highest name… the name above all names!

At just the right time the Almighty, Himself came to save us.

He came to help us in a human body…to do for us, what we could not do for ourselves!

Specific instructions were given to Joseph in a dream by an angel: 'Call His name Yahshua.’

He did not allow others to decide His name!

His instructions were clear and delivered by an angel; His name is Yahshua!

The ‘Yah’ in Yahshua is the Almighty’s own name (Psalm 68:4)

"Shua" means ‘is salvation.’

Yahshua means YAH is salvation!

This, is the name the Almighty chose for Himself!


The name Yahshua literally means "YAH is salvation."

Yah, is the Almighty’s name. The name ‘Yahshua,’ then, actually contains the Almighty’s very own name.

When the Almighty’s name Yah, is combined with a verb (shua), it describes what the Almighty does. The name ‘Yahshua’ then describes ‘Yah, is salvation!’

Who is Yahshua? He is YAH, saving His people from their sins.

Yahshua literally means, “Yah is salvation.”

There is no name higher than Yahshua!

The New Covenant teaches that Yahshua is the name above all names. There is no name higher than Yahshua.

Yahshua is the Almighty in flesh!

... God was manifested in the flesh...

1 Timothy 3:16


Isaiah 9:6 clearly shows us that Yahshua...

...is the son

...is the Holy Spirit

...is our Mighty God

...is the Everlasting Father!

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6

Yahshua is the “Everlasting Father” of Isaiah 9:6 and the Almighty manifested in flesh.


Yahshua... Yah is Salvation!

Yahshua... is Mighty God! (Revelation 1:8)

Yahshua... is the Everlasting Father! (Isaiah 9:6)

In the New Testament, three people are recorded speaking directly to the Almighty in heaven.

These three were Stephen, the Apostle Paul and the Apostle John.

In every instance, they all spoke with Yahshua!

Thomas spoke to the risen Yahshua and called Him, “My Lord and my God!”

Let us also rejoice and proclaim the Almighty’s name!

His name is Yahshua!


Salvation is a gift for you!

Salvation is a gift that we receive by faith. We cannot earn it through our deeds or works. We cannot obtain it by being a “good person” or by attending church. Yahshua earned it for us by dying for our sins on the cross. Our salvation is a gift that’s been made available to everyone who calls upon the name of Yahshua.

Ephesians 2:8-9 says this:

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.”

The Bible promises us that, “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” Joel 2:32; Romans 10:13

Acts 16:29-31 tells us that when the Philippian jailer cried out to Paul and Silas asking them, “What must I do to be saved?” They answered, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

My friend, if you would like to make Yahshua the Lord of your life and receive His free gift of salvation, call upon Him now.


Here is a simple prayer that you can repeat for salvation:

“Yahshua, I realize that I am a sinner and am in need of Your forgiveness. I believe in my heart that You died on the cross for my sins. I ask You to forgive me of my sins and I invite You into my heart to be my Lord and Savior. I receive You right now by faith and I confess You as Lord of my life. Thank You for my salvation. Amen.”

If you just prayed this prayer, congratulations! You are saved and you are a new creation in Christ!

“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!”

2 Corinthians 5:17


Yahshua Ministries - What I Believe�

1. YAH The Almighty Father’s name in the Old Testament YAH - Psalm 68:4; Isaiah 12:2; Isaiah 26:4; Revelation 19:1, 3, 4, 6 (see page 5). YAH-WEH means, ‘YAH - The Self-Existent one’ (I AM). I believe in a strict Monotheism. I do not believe the Almighty is ‘three persons.’ I believe the Almighty is numerically one.

2. YAHSHUA The Almighty Father’s highest name revealed - New Testament Yahshua is the name above every name!Yahshua literally means, ‘YAH is Salvation’.

3. The BibleI believe the Bible to be the inspired word of Yahshua and to be free from error in the original manuscripts when all grammatical, historical, literary and cultural issues have been considered. I believe the Bible is the only Yahshua-given authority which man possesses; therefore, all doctrine, faith, hope, and all instruction for the church must be based upon and harmonize with the Bible.

4. Yahshua, the MessiahI believe the Almighty Father of the Old Testament, became a man in the person of Yahshua, the Messiah. I believe the name Yahshua, meaning ‘Yah is salvation,’ is the Name above all names. Yahshua, is both fully the Almighty and fully man. He is the visible image of the Almighty Father. As it pertains to His humanity, Yahshua was born of a virgin in time.


5. The Holy SpiritI believe that the Holy Spirit is none other than the Spirit of Yahshua Himself.

6. SalvationSalvation is a gift that we receive by faith. We cannot earn it through our deeds or works. We cannot obtain it by being a “good person” or by attending church. Yahshua (“God manifested in the flesh” 1 Timothy 3:16) earned it for us through His death, burial and resurrection. It’s a gift that’s been made available to everyone who calls upon the name of Yahshua.

7. The Second ComingI believe that Yahshua died for our sins, was resurrected and ascended into heaven where he presently reigns. I also believe in a literal, bodily return of Yahshua after a time of Great Tribulation, both to claim his bride and to execute judgment on an unbelieving world.

8. Final JudgmentI believe there is coming a time when all who ever lived will stand before Yahshua to be judged and that all who are not saved will be cast into the lake of fire. I believe this judgment to be literal and eternal.
