The Ultimate Challenge! Prove Yahusha and Yahuah Are Not One

"Welcome to the Ultimate Challenge! Your task is to prove that Yahusha and Yahuah are not one in essence by answering the following questions. Are you ready to challenge the truth? Let’s see if you can make your case!"

• Why is the Messiah worthy of praise by mankind if He is not God, when the First Commandment clearly says to worship only Yah (Exodus 20:3)?

  • Scripture Reference: Revelation 5:12-13 "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing! And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing and honor and glory and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever."
    

• Why does scripture state that all power, honor, and glory are given to the Messiah if He is not God, when only God is supposed to receive such power (Exodus 20:3, Isaiah 42:8)?

  • Scripture Reference: Matthew 28:18 "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."

  • Scripture Reference: Philippians 2:9-11"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
    

• Why does scripture call the Messiah the "Mighty God" and "Everlasting Father" if He is not God, when the title "Mighty God" is reserved for Yah alone (Isaiah 9:6)?

  • Scripture Reference: Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
    

• Why does scripture refer to the Messiah as the "Word of God" if He is not God, when the Word is described as being with God and being God (Genesis 1:1,John 1:1, 14)?

Scripture Reference: John 1:1, 14 " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ... And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us."

• If John 1:14 states that "the Word became flesh," how can this refer to anything other than the Messiah?

If the Word inside the Messiah simply took on flesh, how does this differ from anyone who has the Holy Spirit, since they too might be said to have God's Word inside them?

Does this interpretation make sense, or is it clearer to understand that the "Word becoming flesh" uniquely refers to the Messiah, as it cannot apply to anyone else in this way?

• Why does scripture say that every nation will worship the Messiah when worship belongs only to the Father (Exodus 20:3)?

  • Scripture Reference: Revelation 15:4 "Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest."

  • Scripture Reference: Philippians 2:9-11 "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name..."
    

• How do you reconcile the Messiah receiving worship, when the First Commandment clearly forbids worshipping anyone but Yah (Exodus 20:3)?

  • Scripture Reference: Matthew 14:33 "Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped Him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God."

  • Scripture Reference: John 20:28 "And Thomas answered and said unto Him, My Lord and my God."
    

• How do you explain that the Messiah's role as the "Mighty God" and "Everlasting Father" in Isaiah 9:6 directly points to His divine nature, when these titles are reserved for Yah (Isaiah 9:6)?

  • Scripture Reference: Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
    

• Why does scripture say that the Messiah holds the position of the "Alpha and the Omega," which is a title attributed only to God (Revelation 22:13)?

  • Scripture Reference: Revelation 22:13 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last."
    

• How do you explain the Messiah’s authority over all things in heaven and on earth, when only God has this kind of authority (Colossians 1:16-17)?

  • Scripture Reference: Colossians 1:16-17 "For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him: And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist."
    

• Why does scripture say the Messiah has the authority to forgive sins, if only God has the power to forgive sins (Isaiah 43:25)?

  • Scripture Reference: Isaiah 43:25 "I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins."

  • Scripture Reference: Matthew 9:2-6 "And, behold, they brought to Him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee... But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith He to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house."
    

• How do you explain 1 Timothy 3:16, which states that "God was manifest in the flesh," when this clearly indicates the Messiah’s divinity (1 Timothy 3:16)?

  • Scripture Reference: 1 Timothy 3:16 "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."

  • How do you interpret "God was manifest in the flesh" if the Messiah is not divine? Why does the verse directly attribute divinity to the Messiah?
    

• Why would Paul use the term "God" to describe the Messiah in 1 Timothy 3:16 if He was not divine, contradicting the claim that the Messiah is not God (1 Timothy 3:16)?

  • Scripture Reference: 1 Timothy 3:16 "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh..."
    

• Why did the Messiah say to Philip, "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father," when the First Commandment says to worship only Yah (Exodus 20:3)?

  • Scripture Reference: John 14:9 "Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?"

If Yahusha is not God, why does He declare that seeing Him is the same as seeing the Father? How do you explain this statement in the context of His divinity?

• How can God give His glory to the Messiah, when in Isaiah 42:8, He explicitly states, 'I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another'? Yet, in John 17:5, Yahusha (the Messiah) prays to the Father, asking to be glorified with the glory He had with the Father before the world began.  Furthermore, in Revelation 5:12-13, all creatures in heaven and on earth praise and glorify the Lamb (Messiah), saying, 'Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.' How do you reconcile these passages where the Messiah is given glory and honor, with Isaiah 42:8, where God says He will not share His glory? If Yahusha (the Messiah) is not one with Yah (the Father), then logically, He must be considered a separate deity because He is worshipped and has all power, honor, and glory, which are attributes reserved only for God. If Yahusha is a separate deity, then those who do not believe that Yahusha and Yah are one find themselves worshipping more than one god. This contradicts the core biblical teaching of monotheism, which affirms that there is only one true God (Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 45:5). Therefore, the consistent testimony of Scripture, when fully considered, leads to the conclusion that Yahusha and Yah are one, sharing the same divine essence and nature, as expressed in passages like John 10:30 and John 1:1, and demonstrated in the Messiah's unique role in creation and salvation.
