The First and Last

Elohim Is More Than One
(Exposing a false doctrine)

Elohim Is More Than One

I received an email from a WLC staff member that has the following statement at the bottom of the email... "Yahusha was conceived in Mary's womb as the 1st begotten, perfect, 100% human [not divine not pre-existent] Son of the almighty YAHUWAH our Creator and heavenly Father."

Now having stated this, and already responded to this claim in an email with one of the WLC staff, let's have a look at this claim directly from the Scriptures.

Let's first start from the beginning, in the purest version known to date, the HalleluYah Scriptures. We must diligently search out the truth, especially in these last days that we might be a good servant to YHWH and His Word as we see more knowledge and truth of the light revealed and we reprove that light that is revealed according to His Word and follow after it if proven to be true according to His Word.

Berĕshith (In the beginning) - Genesis 1:26 And Elohim said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness..."

Could this be the very way we are, in mind, body and being? There are three parts to us, just like there are three parts to Elohim. "Our" clearly means more than one, and more than one was present in the beginning, and there is no disputing that. El (singular) refers to the Father while Elohim (plural) refers to more than one, based on my understanding.

This "false trinity" teaching is in direct contrast to that more than one (Elohim), being the Father, His Bĕn, and Ruah ha'Qodesh, to which we are commanded to go to all nations immersing them in. This we read in MattithYahu (Gift of Yah) - Matthew 28:19-20. That sure looks like 3 beings to me! We already know of two, being the Father YHWH and Mashiah Yahusha, and then when Yahusha was being baptized, we see the third, being the Qodesh (put-apart) Ruah (Spirit). Again, that sure looks like 3 beings to me!

Now, next we need to look at what was said by Yohanan (John)...

Yohanan (Yah has favoured) - John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. He was in the beginning with Elohim.

Looking at verse 2 we can clearly see that the Word is called "He" being with Elohim in the beginning. Yohanan then goes on to explain this even more in verses 12-14.

Yohanan (Yah has favoured) - John 1:12-14 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the authority to become children of Elohim, to those believing in His Name, who were born, not of blood nor of the desire of the flesh nor the desire of man, but of Elohim. And the Word became flesh and pitched His tent among us, and we saw His esteem esteem as the only brought-forth of a father, complete in favour and truth.

That looks pretty clear to me, especially considering this is the last of the 4 testimonies of the good news with those by name.

Now, looking at Berĕshith (In the beginning) - Genesis 1:26, and the testimony of Yohanan (Yah has favoured) - John 1:1-2 there are two witnesses saying ha'Mashiah Yahusha was there all along. There are several other testimonies by Yohanan stating this same thing, that He was there from the beginning. The Ruah (Spirit) did not come on the scene until Yahusha was baptized, and then it was actually seen as a dove descending upon Yahusha, the third being which completed the other two parts of Elohim from the beginning. It was only after the baptism that Yahusha did "miracles", because He was finally completed, being the Word was made flesh, and then received the Ruah to carry out His mission.

The Qodesh (put-apart) Ruah (Spirit)... now who or what is that? There are 39 verses within the canonized Scriptures that clearly define who or what this is, in being the Ruah of YHWH. Knowing this, we can see how "Elohim" has been complete from the beginning, and creating man in the image of Elohim, having said "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness...". This is the very mind, spirit, and body "image" to where we are created in the image of Elohim. We cannot become complete until we too have received the Qodesh Ruah of YHWH just like Yahusha has shown us by His example.

Now, there needs some clarification to this matter in that the Father had to turn away from sin at the time of ha'Mashiah Yahusha being impaled at the stake. We have to remember that all our sins were laid upon Him at this time, and Yahuwah cannot be in the presence of sin. This is the very reason Yahusha cried "My El, My El, why have You forsaken me?". I personally believe He said that for our sake and not His own, because He probably already knew why. This instance can also prove that these Three are separate from one another yet, still as one. Ever heard the phrase "he or she looks so much like their daddy" or, "we are one together as husband and wife" or "we are family by blood"? All life comes by the breath of the Father, as it has been written, and then Yahusha has said "I am the way and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me." He is the very Word of the Father, and the breath of life that comes from Him.

Anyone who accepts or presents any such idea to the effect that only one or two of the three existed from the beginning, and not all three, presents a serious lack of properly studying the Scriptures and the teaching thereof. This part about the Father, Bĕn of The Father, and the Qodesh Ruah is written about almost entirely through the Restored Covenant (some call it the Second Covenant or otherwise). Then we have 300 prophesies concerning the coming of ha'Mashiah Yahusha that were all fulfilled to the letter. Think about that, we were told He is coming 300 times or more, and He did just that. Now to come to or go to a location, you have to exist first, right?

Yohanan (Yah has favoured) – John 8:58 Yahusha said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Aḇraham came to be, I am."

Miḵah (Who is like Yah?) – Micah 5:2 "But you, Bĕyth Lehem Ephrathath, you who are little among the clans of Yahuḏah, out of you shall come forth to Me the One to become Ruler in Yisra'ĕl. And His comings forth are of old, from everlasting."

That sure sounds like ha’Mashiah did not just come on the scene from a human birth, but rather that He has always existed. He came from before Aḇraham as well as from everlasting So, any such claim to the effect ha’Mashiah did not exist until He was physically born is proven wrong by the Scriptures and the very words of ha’Mashiah Yahusha himself. This is also true as He said Himself;

Hazon (Vision) – Revelation 1:17-18 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead, and He placed His right hand on me, saying, "Do not be afraid, I am the first and the last, and the living One. And I became dead, and see, I am living forever and ever. Amĕn. And I possess the keys of the grave and of death.

Now there is yet another problem of the false trinity doctrine as another representation that ha’Mashiah is the The Father and Bĕn of The Father, to which the Scriptures clearly state that this is not the case.

We can already see that the Father is El (singular) and Elohim is plural, meaning more than one. We saw proof of this in Berĕshith (In the beginning) - Genesis 1:26 that Elohim is in reference to more than one. This is clearly shown that the Father says He is El, as well as being called as El in many verses of the Scriptures.

Berĕshith (In the beginning) – Genesis 46:3 And He said, "I am the Ĕl, Elohim of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Mitsrayim, for I shall make you there into a great nation.

If I am not mistaken, that sure looks like He is stating that He is the beginning of Elohim, as being singular, or the first part of the "Us" as Elohim. Now make no mistake, in that ha’Mashiah Yahusha has stated;

Yohanan (Yah has favored) – John 14:9 Yahusha said to him "Have I been with you so long, and you have not known Me Philippos? He who has seen Me has seen the Father, and how do you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

There is more to this if you read further concerning chapter 14 and on, but let’s have a look at what is said in chapter 17.

Yohanan (Yah has favored) – John 17:21-23 so that they all might be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, so that they too might be one in Us, so that the world might believe that You have sent Me. "And the esteem which You gave Me I have given to them, so that they might be one as We are one, "I in them, and You in Me, so that they might be perfected into one, so that the world knows that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

Now looking at the Scriptures shown, this sure looks like all that are of the same mind and Ruah (Spirit) as sent by The Father are one in that manner, yet are each a different being. Yahusha is perfected into one, so in seeing Yahusha, they had seen the Father. With His being here and walking with those at that time, He set the example for all of us to follow in everything we do. He spoke of the Kingdom with love, not condemnation in order to lead them into their comprehension of such things, for the Father YHWH is love, and love cannot exist in the presence of hate, but rather love endures all things and overcomes all things. In other words, love never fails. There is only one kind of love that never fails, and that is unconditional love, as all other kinds of conditional love will fail. He clearly told us that hate will finally be removed.

Love does not seek what it already has, does not make demands, and does not say "I will love you ‘if you do this or that’", but rather loves you no matter what. The only difference in this is the fact that unconditional love cannot co-exist with hate in the same. This is where the hate needs to be removed in order to operate in perfect harmony with one another. When we learn forgiveness and love one another unconditionally, removing the hate from the equation, we become one together.

The first and last Hazon (Vision) – Revelation 1:17-18

In every mention of ha’Mashia Yahusha as the begotten of the Father, it is stated that He is the only begotten of the Father, not the first begotten of the Father. There is one verse that states He is the First begotten of the dead, in Hazon (Vision) – Revelation 1:5.

Looking at this in the context of what has been described, it can easily be seen as the First-born to be risen from the dead having overcome the grave and death, and the Last as in the only begotten of the Father.

Let’s make no mistake here in reading this to be born of the Father vs being born in this world. The first part mentioned is being the only begotten of the Father in this world, and the other part being those that are born in this world altogether. We have seen from other Scriptures that one must be "born again" in other studies we may be familiar with, and to this is being born of the Father through faith. This being "born again", and then raised from the dead at the Appointed Time can easily fulfill the part of being the "First" from the "First and the Last".

If I were you, I would be very cautious of such false doctrines that may arise out of the "world religions" as opposed to the actual called out ones. Do not take anyone’s' word (including me) on anything without researching it for yourself and finding out the facts of the topic you are researching from the Scriptures, historical documentation, and archeological findings and documentation where possible.

Anti-Trinitarian Errors of Study

First of all it should be mentioned that this "Trinity Doctrine" by world religions is not something that should be supported by the called out ones. Nowhere in the Scriptures is there any reference to some "Trinity", but rather Father, Bĕn and Ruah. This "Trinity Doctrine" as presented by world religions there is a claim or implication that the Bĕn is actually the Father, and therein is the deception.

Note - This may seem somewhat repetitive based on what was already shown above, but this section breaks down each point of the study as presented, called the "Manuscript Corruptions"

When viewing the studies on this topic as presented by WLC, the very first study at the top of the list is presented by Brother Kel that has to be downloaded as a compressed .zip file. https://www.worldslastchance.com/topical-biblical-studies/anti-trinitarian-studies

This study is a collection of various studies all in one compressed file that you will need to unpack to view the files and start the study as presented by WLC. The very first one is "Manuscript Corruptions". While what was already discussed tyo some degree above, now let's have a look at the issues concerning this "Manuscript Corruptions". It should also be mentioned that this study uses the names of false mighty ones in place of the real Names of the Father and Mashiah. This study actually comes from https://www.angelfire.com/space/thegospeltruth/trinity.html and upon looking at the studies presented there, all directed at "The Trinity Delusion" and nothing else, also uses those names of false mighty ones, which makes it questionable at the least.

Issue #1

The first part of this study is the mention of ZekarYah (Remembered of Yah) – Zechariah 12:10 "And I shall pour on the house of Dawiḏ and on the inhabitants of Yerushalayim a spirit of favour and prayers. And they shall look upon Me whom they pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son. And they shall be in bitterness over Him as a bitterness over the first-born.

Now, looking at this verse as it is written, it may seem confusing. The statement "they shall look upon "Me"" doesn't seem to make any sense since it says "And they look upon "ME" who was pierced" but mourn for someone else, "Him".

Looking at this from what actually took place during the time Yahusha was being impaled at the stake, it makes absolutely perfect sense. Up until the sins of the entire world were laid upon Yahusha for the sacrifice, the Father is with Him. Once the entire sins of the world were laid upon Yahusha, we see that Yahusha cried "My El, My El, why have You forsaken me?". Did you catch what ha'Mashia Yahusha said? He said "My El" instead of My Elohim. All three were together at that time!

This is not very hard to understand since YHWH cannot bear the presence of sin. This verse shows that YHWH was with Him to the very end, until He could no longer be with Him due to sin. Yahusha Himself said "if you have seen Me, you have seen the Father" which clearly points out the obvious, in that the Father is with Him. Furthermore, we see where the Ruah that appeared as a dove descended upon Him at baptism, prior to Yahusha doing any miracles.

Again, it’s not very hard to see that once He was baptized, He was complete and ready to do what He was put here to do, with the Father in full support of Him, saying "This is My Bĕn, the beloved, in whom I delight". There is all three together, right there on the scene! Let’s also take into consideration the simple fact that your child bears your blood, therefore they are part of you. Then the other thing to consider is when a man and woman marry, they too become one. This "one", is it one family, one blood, or something like that?

Issue #2

This one comes from MattithYahu (Gift of Yah) – Matthew 28:19 "Therefore go and instruct all the nations, immersing them in the Name of the Father and of the Bĕn and of the Ruah ha’Qodesh,

The claim with this issue appears to be is that looking at the previous verse where it talks about all authority being given to Him, then why not just go in His Name, excluding the other Two? Then there is also a claim that this may have been inserted by tradition, implicating this may be a perverted Scripture.

Well, anytime we might see something in the Scriptures that we think is questionable, we need to compare Scripture with Scripture (a little here, a little there) to find the truth of the matter.

This one is answered and backed up quite nicely with Galatiyim (Of the Gauls) Galatians 4:6 And because you are sons, YHWH has sent forth the Ruah of His Bĕn into your hearts, crying "Abba, Father!"

This very clearly (MattithYahu (Gift of Yah) – Matthew 28:19) shows that there are three and the Ruah can be the Ruah of YHWH and/or the Ruah of Yahusha. This we can know by looking at when Yahusha was baptized, and clearly see that it was the Ruah of YHWH, and now here we see it is the Ruah of Yahusha.

That sure sounds like one mind, one Ruah between two other beings, as three separates, but three that are one. Mind, body and spirit is the same "image" we were made as from their image. Remember, in the beginning they said "Let us make man in Our image". That sure sounds like there was more than one from the beginning!

Issue #3

This one comes from Yohanan (Yah has favored) – John 1:18 No one has ever seen YHWH. The only brought-forth Bĕn, who is in the bosom of the Father, He declared.

This one is arguing a "version" of translation or transliteration of the Name of the Father. This is quite interesting as put forth, considering the so-called name or title of "G-d" was put there to actually hide the Name of the Father, just like the title or name of "L-rd" was, and they both refer to, or call on false mighty ones. These are names or titles that almost all the world religions call on as opposed to calling on the Name of the Father like we are told to do from the Scriptures.

I strongly suggest to everyone who reads this to do your homework and study where these names come from on your own. I would suggest for the first one, to read the book of Hanok (Enoch) chapter 69:6 to find out who that really is. The second one is a bit easier, when all one needs to do is look up that one in the dictionary or Strong’s Concordance to understand who it is actually referring to. Another way to do that is look up the false mighty one known as Ba’-l.

Other than that, we can clearly see from the Scripture shown we can see the declaration that Yahusha made, in that no one has seen the Father. Then later on, we know He said if you have seen Me, you have seen the Father. Keep in mind, this does not make any claim that He IS the Father, but only that if you see Him, you see the Father. Again, one mind, one spirit, one body. Who are the people of His Assembly, and the body of ha’Mashiah Yahusha? There it is again! Clarification of the body being not just one, but many parts! Yahusha being the head of the body, and the rest of that body being the members of that body. Remember, His ways are not our ways, and we have to learn how to think like He wants us to!

Issue #4

Ma'asĕh (Actions) – Acts 7:59 And they were stoning Stephanos as he was calling and saying "Aḏonai Yahusha, receive my spirit."

In this claim, it is stated that "The King James translation inserted the word "God" into this verse which makes it appear that Jesus was being identified as God." When looking at the actual Scripture to which has not been perverted by attempting to hide or change the Names, we can clearly see that Stephanos was asking for Yahusha to receive his spirit. This in no way means that Stephanos has chosen to replace the Father with His Bĕn. Who has the keys? It might be wise to first ask the One who has the keys in order to gain access to the Father is all that Stephanos may have been thinking.

This one just seems to be another argument about a "version" of translation or transliteration.

Issue #5

Ma'asĕh (Actions) – Acts 20:28 "Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Ruah ha’Qodesh has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of Elohim which He has purchased with His own blood.

This one is yet another argument about a "version" of translation or transliteration, implicating who it is really talking about, but as we see above, is becomes very clear who it is really talking about. The unique thing we see here is a definition of Who’s blood this is. This is the blood of Elohim, not the Father El (singular) alone, and not Yahusha His Bĕn alone, but rather the blood of Elohim (more than one) in His Kingdom.

Issue #6

Qorin'tiyim 1 (Satiated) - 1 Corinthians 10:9 neither let us try Mashiah, as some of them also tried, and were destroyed by serpents,

This one is yet another argument about a "version" of translation or transliteration. However, using the purest known version, we can clearly see that it does not use either word that came from pagan origin. One thing that needs to be pointed out is that if we look at verse 6, we can see that the following after that were examples for us. Now, here’s another interesting bit of information. We see here that with ha’Mashiah there was "testing" attempted to be done and warned against, quoting from Bemiḏbar (In the wilderness) – Numbers.

Bemiḏbar (In the wilderness) - Numbers 21:6 And YHWH sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people. And many of the people of Yisra'ĕl died.

This in no way makes any claim that ha’Mashiah Yahusha was actually YHWH, as we see each one is named differently according to the verses. Going back to Berĕshith (In the beginning) – Genesis 1:26, we can see that Elohim said let Us make man in Our image. There is clearly more than One there, so we should keep in mind as we read the Scriptures, when it mentions "Elohim" that Elohim is more than one! This was clearly defined from the beginning.

Issue #7

Eph'siyim (Permitted) – Ephesians 3:9 And to make all see how this secret is administered, which for ages past has been hidden in YHWH who created all through Yahusha ha’Mashiah.

Once again, this is a "translation or transliteration" argument where some "versions" mention ha’Mashiah or not. Looking at this as it is written clearly shows Yahusha was there from the beginning yet again. Let’s remember, YHWH said let there be, and so it was. What is Yahusha but the Word of YHWH made flesh? YHWH spoke His Word, and it was so. This a clear description of what was happening based on this verse in Eph'siyim (Permitted) – Ephesians 3:9.

Issue #8

Timotiyos 1 (Honouring Elohim) - 1 Timothy 3:16 And, beyond all question, the secret of reverence is great – who was revealed in the flesh, declared right in Ruah, was seen by messengers, was proclaimed among nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in esteem.

The claim made here is the false doctrine that Yahusha is actually YHWH, due to corrupted "versions" of Scripture. When we read the previous verses, we can see that it was first talking about Elohim, then reverts to specifically talking about ha’Mashiah, which is clearly evident in what is written in verse 16.

One of the most obvious things that just about anyone who is familiar with the Scriptures is the fact that Yahusha prayed to the Father. It’s kind of hard to pray to yourself, is it not? This is yet another example of there being three, with the Father, the only brought-fourth (not the first like many misquoted Scriptures) of the Father, and the Ruah.

It needs to be said at this point, why anyone would believe all this anti-trinitarian hogwash that makes the claim that Yahusha is not one of the three in Elohim when it is so simple is beyond me, other than it could be just those who don’t bother to check for themselves and just accept what others tell them without doing the research for themselves. Yahusha is not the Father, and the Father is not Yahusha even though they are of the same mind, or thoughts, and Ruah or Spirit. They are one in that they are all part of the body of Elohim, just like we become the body of Mashiah.

Issue #9

Kĕpha 2 (Rock) - 2 Peter 1:1 Shim’on Kĕpha, a servant and emissary of Yahusha ha’Mashiah, to those who have obtained a belief as precious as ours by the righteousness of our Elohim and of our Saviour Yahusha ha’Mashiah.

The argument here is yet another false claim by some that Yahusha is actually YHWH, and then "translation or transliteration differences". This just looks like incorrect interpretations or translations and repetitive excuses based on everything so far.

Issue #10

Yohanan 1 (Yah has favoured) - 1 John 3:16 By this we have known love, because He laid down His hai for us. And we ought to lay down life for the brothers. The claim here is, and I quote; "The King James translation inserted the word "God" into this verse which makes it appear that John was identifying Jesus as "God". The strike through names titles or words in this quote are false mighty ones or pagan words we should not use.

Here we go again… This time it is pointing out how one "version" of the Scriptures has been perverted, not only by adding to it, but also attempting to hide the Name of the Father, to which is what they thought the reference was to. It’s not hard to see from the HalleluYah Scriptures what this verse is really saying.

Issue #11

Yohanan 1 (Yah has favoured) - 1 John 5:7 Because there are three who bear witness:

This time there is a claim that this verse was never in the Scriptures to begin with. I have looked at 15 different versions of the Scriptures, not counting the HalleluYah Scriptures, and the only one that has a significant change is the Hebraic Roots Scriptures and it does not mention there are three, but this is what is written there… "And the Spirit is the One witnessing, because the Spirit is the truth."

In response to that Hebraic Roots version, I will just reference Yohanan (Yah has favored) – John 14:6 Yahusha said to him, "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Hai. No one comes to the Father except through Me. It sure looks to me like the Word of YHWH made flesh and dwelt among us is the Truth! Oh wait, there is one verse saying the Ruah is the Truth. Just above Yohanan 1 (Yah has favoured) - 1 John 5:7, in verse 6. To put this in simple terms, the Word of YHWH and the Ruah of YHWH are the Truth.

Now that all of those parts of the manuscript presented at the following location and supported by WLC as being correct looks like an issue of confusion, deception they were not aware of, or an outright denial of what the Scriptures really teach.
http://www.angelfire.com/space/thegospeltruth/trinity/articles/tampering.html

This is the starting point for the claims that the WLC staff cling to at this time, and is at the top of the documentation they provide and support for this so-called "doctrine" to which states the non-deity of ha’Mashiah Yahusha. This is then followed by several more studies attempting to support this claim, yet still using the names or tiles of false mighty ones and pagan words.
https://www.worldslastchance.com/the-trinity/did-Yahusha-believe-in-one-god-or-a-triune-god.html

Let’s make this one simple, starting with just the teaching posted at WLC, and correct just one statement, and quote from the Scriptures.

This was the part skipped over
Marqos (Defense) – Mark 12:29 And Yahusha answered him, "The first of all the Commands is, ‘Hear O Yisra'ĕl, YHWH our Elohim, YHWH is one.

And in verse 32, where they start, "And the scribe said to Him, "Well said, Teacher. You haver spoken the truth. For there is one Elohim, and there is no other besides Him."

Taking note of the differences in what was said, and then later on in verse 34, Yahusha told the scribe "You are not far from the reign of Elohim" This seems to imply that the scribe was almost correct in his words or understanding, or actually meant he was correct, because there really is only one Elohim (with more than one part to Elohim), but Yahusha clarified there is only one YHWH.

Remember, One Father, one brought-forth Bĕn of the Father, and one Ruah, which can very easily complete Elohim as shown from Berĕshith (In the beginning) – Genesis, where it shows Elohim to say "Let Us make man in Our image…".

Please, for your own understanding, always confirm or prove what you understand by proper searching out the Scriptures, which can include books that were not "canonized" by the Council of Nicea, such as the book of Hanok (Enoch), and Jashar which were named and/or quoted at least twice in the canonized Scriptures, as well as many others that are labeled as forbidden or hidden books of the Scriptures.

You might see the importance of the book of Hanok and why it may have been excluded from the canonized Scriptures because of the "hidden" secrets it reveals as I have shown earlier. From what I understand, there may be as many as 75 books or writings excluded from the canonized version, but be very careful about them. The Apocrypha are the only ones I currently use other than studying the Ghabaray Ibri (Hebrew) and the differences of that to the Septuagint, considering it is very possible the Septuagint came about due to the Romiyim (Strength) – Romans having captured those areas and did not want anything read from in public that they could not understand. We have to remember, the Ibrim (Hebrews) had their own language, to which was one of the three languages posted at His being impaled at the stake. The other two languages were the primary Romiyim language known as Latin, and the lesser Romiyim language known as Greek.
