"A Critique of the video, "the Human Jesus."

In keeping with my theme of the triune nature of God, I will critique the "Human Jesus" in three parts. In the first 4 parts of the 12 part series on you tube called "The human Jesus" the British speaking dude called Scripture as "suspect" when dealing with the deity of Yeshua in the Gospel of John. It was quite obvious that what made it suspect to him was that it interfered with his Unitarian philosophy. When religious people don't like what they read in the Bible they just take it out of context or take it out completely.

There was the young guy in a library, trying to at least look intelligent, attempting to infer that Yeshua never referred to Himself as God. Yeshua would like to answer that accusation. "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand. I and My Father are one." (John 10:27-30) "Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You, Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as we are." (John 17:11) Thank you Yeshua for clearing that up.

Then there was the rabbi who was intent on destroying the Hebrew language at the expense of maintaining that God is Yachid (singular one) and not Echad (compound one). The word Echad is used to denote plurality, but Yachid is always used to denote only one. Example: God used one (Echad) of Adam's ribs it denoted that Adam had more than one rib. If Adam only had one rib then God would have used the word Yachid. But when God told Abraham to take his only (yachid) son, Isaac, it denoted he had only one son by Sarah. Echad is used many times in the Bible that is involving more than one, but when dealing with only (Yachid) one then God is very specific. In English we say one egg or one dozen. In Hebrew the distinction is used with Yachid (only one) or Echad (compound one). Rabbinical Jews are quite aware of the implication of the word Echad having a pluralisitic nature. So to resolve the dilemma they simply change the word Echad in the Shema to Yachid.

The librarian looking youth didn't seem quite convinced himself when he attempted to explain the plural word usage for God in Genesis--Eloheem. Something about new and news and news sounding better than saying new. So I guess God thought Eloheem sounded better than Elo. Doesn't news imply more than one story? By the way, when the Hebrew letter "mem" is put on the end of the word it denotes plurality! Those are Hebraic grammatical rules. When rabbinical Jews write about the oneness of God, they simply replace Echad with Yachid. They wouldn't do that if they didn't understand the plural connotations attached to the word Echad. Fortunately, God does refer to Himself using self descriptive words like, "Us" and "Our." Again, Rabbinical Jews and the human Jesus crowd attempt to discredit God by saying these words refer to His Majesty, like when the British Crown uses Us and Our. I didn't know the British Crown was in existence at the creation of the world. I sure wouldn't want to be in their sandals on the day of judgment. I can hear them now. "But God, that is not what You meant!"

The only thing they had right was the damage that the Church Fathers did to Judaism by inferring all of their pagan doctrines and separating from the Jewishness of the faith. Everything they said about them was spot on. The Church Fathers had one bad doctrine after another and it has wrongly influenced Christianity ever since. The fact that Christians adhere to Church Fathers doctrine more than the Bible is a crying shame. The trinity is just a bad doctrine. It is paganism at its finest hour. They took monotheism and turned it into pantheism and labeled it monotheism. Nice trick but it just doesn't fly.

This has opened the door for the "Human Jesus" crowd. They, along with rabbinical Judaism, take the doctrine of the trinity and rip it apart. But in doing so, they also dismantle the Word of God and disrespect Him the process. Until Christians redefine the "Trinity" into proper contextual truth, this attack against the triune nature of the one God is going to continue.

The "Human Jesus" is just a sad attempt at religious people with personal agendas. That is, they use the Bible to promote themselves and not God, kind of like a tick uses a body to suck the blood for nourishment. They are like clouds without any rain, quite full of themselves, very wise, but only in their own eyes. Personal agendas blind people's eyes to the truth. Until next time, Shalom.
