I would like to offer my insights and studies on this hotly debated topic. The proposition, that Messiah is God, proved to be false from the sacred scriptures.
I indicate sacred because there are scriptures in the Bible that are not sacred but are deliberate forgeries- See the book Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why (Plus) (Paperback) -For instance, Bart D Erhman mentions 1 Tim 3:16 (”Christ [not "God"] was manifested in the flesh”) and 1 John 5:7 (”For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”), as well as the longer ending of Mark’s Gospel (i.e. Mk 16:9ff.). All of these texts have long been acknowledged by true Christians as not representing the original. Yet, the doctrines of the deity of Christ, the Trinity are all fabrications of doctrine and myth and so Erhman’s suggestion, that the doctrinal basis for such doctrines is not authentic. I will not be using the King James Version to validate my points because the King James Bible is now rejected by true scholars because of the many mistakes, additions, and omissions which corrupt it. The King James Bible has been convicted of containing over 20,000 errors! Let’s now review the sacred scriptures for it is written: 1 Thessalonians 5:21-Prove all things. Hold on to the good. [Teaching]
Ø Mark 13:32“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. If Messiah was God, he would know that day, that is the End of this system of things. The Omnipotent God knows all things because with him no declaration will be impossible.
Ø John 7:16 Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me. Here Jesus or Yahushua is referring to another person, thus showing they are two distinct beings. Furthermore the One who does the sending is far superior in rank to the one who is sent.
Ø 1 Corinthians 11:3: Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is YHWH [Jehovah or Yahweh] - Is a man and woman literally the same person? No, well neither is Christ and God, for how could God be head over his own self. Rather God is head over all his creatures including the Celestial Christ.
Ø 1 Corinthians 15:28:When Jesus or Yahushua hands over the kingdom to his God and Father ,then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all. God is subject to no one and it would be blasphemy to imply
such a thing, but Christ is eternally subject to the Maker of all things.
Ø Ephesians 1:3-Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Consequently, our Lord Jesus has a God over him.
Ø Ephesians 1:17I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[a] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. Again, our Lord Jesus has a God over him.
Ø 1 Peter 1:3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, A 3 rd time, our Lord Jesus has a God over him.
Ø Revelation 1:6 -Jesus has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. A 4th time, our Lord Jesus has a God over him.
Ø Micah 5:4-Jesus will stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of YHWH, in the majesty of the name of YHWH his God. And they will live securely, for then his greatness will reach to the ends of the earth. A 5th time, our Lord Jesus has a God over him.
Ø John 20:17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ A 6th time, our Lord Jesus has a God over him.
Ø Revelation 3:12- Jesus said, ‘Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, A 7th time, our Lord Jesus has a God over him. Now understand this that the number 7 in the Bible represents completeness, so these 7 scriptures testify that our God is completely over Jesus in rank, eternity, power and might and majesty.
Ø Mark 12: 28 One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
29“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel, YHWH our God, YHWH is One.[e] 30 Love YHWH your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind and with all your strength.’[f] 31The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[g]There is no commandment greater than these.” 32“Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is One and there is no other but him. See the Book- They loved the Torah-The fact that Messiah attended and taught in the Yahudi Temple validates the idea that He followed Torah and obeyed God’s Holy Torah. A quote in the book sums it up well “Both Jewish and Christian scholars clearly see that Yeshua followed the Torah.” Thus if Jesus claimed any kind of Divinity with the Father he would have violated the greatest commandment ever given by God.
Ø Let God explain his Son position and rank. Look at - Psalms 89:26-29-Messiah will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Savior.’27 I will also appoint Messiah as my firstborn, the most exalted of the kings of the earth. 28 I will maintain my love to him forever, and my covenant with him will never fail.29 I will establish Messiah’s line forever and his throne as long as the heavens endure. Clearly, God is speaking of the Messiah another being distinct from himself, one who was exalted because of his obedience and devotion to our Heavenly Father.
Ø Revelation 4: 1-2 After these things I saw, and, look! an opened door in heaven, and the first voice that I heard was as of a trumpet, speaking with me, saying: “Come on up here, and I shall show you the things that must take place.” 2 After these things I immediately came to be in [the power of the] spirit: and, look! a throne was in its position in heaven, and there is One seated upon the throne. So the Messiah is not seated on the Throne in heaven. So where is he seated I will show you. Revelation 14:14 -And I saw, and, look! a white cloud, and upon the cloud someone seated like a son of man[Jesus], with a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. So in heaven YHWH the God of angelic host sits on his throne of glory, majesty and power over the heavens above the heavens, where as the Messiah sits on his throne of glory, majesty and riches over the Earth. We come to the conclusion of two distinct beings with great diversity of throne ship, and furthermore no one compares to the incomparable majesty of Almighty God who is the King of eternity, incorruptible, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen-1 Timothy 1:17.
