This
week’s blog is meant to provide clarity on what many religious and bible
readers have heard about God which may not be true biblically.
I
feel like, how do I start this week’s blog…in Christian religion, many things
have been changed concerning the truth about God. First of all, the word God is
not Hebrew language. It is a word originated from old English. According to the
Artificial Intelligence (AI), the word God means a celestial deity and a
supreme deity. The Germans calls him “Gott” while the Dutch refer to him as “god”.
In Yoruba language, he is referred to as “Olodumare” while the Igbos refer to
him as “Chineke”. The Hebrews know him as Yahuwah (Old Hebrew language) and
Yahweh (New Hebrew language). These are just examples of many names people from
different part of the world call God. English language has caused great problems
on the ambiguity of the word, God. This is rather a sad issue. However, it is
hoped that this week’s blog will elucidate on this darkness and brings clarity to
you.
Each
of the ethnics mentioned above believe that this God created everything we can
see and those we cannot see. They believe this God is also in control of
everything on earth. They believe he is a subjector. They also believe this God
cannot die.
Christians
claim affiliations with Hebrews. However, they came up with things that negate
what Hebrews believe. One of them is that God cannot die. I have heard many
Christians saying God cannot die. So, if you ask them, why did Yeshua die, they
get confused. They do not know the difference between Yeshua and Yahweh.
The
question is, can God die? From all indications, in this week’s blog, God cannot
die. Then, the next question is, why do Christians refer to Yeshua (Christ
Jesus) as God? Why is Yeshua God?
Here
is what I know through the scriptures.
Ø When Yeshua mentioned that his father
and him are one (John 10:30), it does not mean they are equal. A father and his
son may share the same last name, the same DNA and even share the same resemblance.
However, the are not on the same level. Father is always greater/older than his
son.
Ø Do not get it twisted on what Paul
said in Philippians 2:6. Yeshua who was being inherently in the form of God,
deems it not pillaging to be equal with God does not mean they are the same
being. What you need to understand here is that Yeshua that came in form of
human is a spirit that emerged from Yahweh. He is also the first born of
Yahweh. He has the form of his father (Yahweh). Therefore, he did not see it as
a robbery to be as his father. It does not make them equal.
Ø When the fullness of time came, Yahweh
sent Yeshua to the world to die for their sins (Galatians 4:4). The same spirit
of Yahweh that operated in Yeshua has been given to us to refer to Yahweh as
our Father (Galatians 4:6). This is why Yeshua referred to Yahweh as our Father
who are it Heavens as found in Matthew chapter 6:9.
Ø Having understood these, it means
Yeshua bears the last name of his Father but it does not make him equal to his
Father.
Ø He had to die to fulfil the scriptures
which include but not limited to Isaiah 53; Daniel 9:26; Luke 23:46 Matthew
12:40 and John 1:29 among others. He acknowledged his Father (Yahweh) when he was about to die as found in Luke 23:46. That should give you more clarity between the two of them. I will write more on this next week.
So,
if God cannot die, more clarity has to be made to pass our messages to our
audience.
Yeshua
is the son of God (Yahweh). Yahweh does not die but Yeshua did. He had died,
buried but is alive (Revelation 1:18). So, is Yeshua the same as Yahweh? No. If
anyone tells you that God cannot die, please tell them to clarify which one.
I
hope this week’s blog has been a blessing to you.
