Gen.1:26 is often used to show Yahushua's hand in Creation. It reads, "And haElohim said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." They say the Father is talking to the Son in this verse based on the pronouns used. Notice, however, that verse 27 says, "So haElohim created man in his own image, . . ." Why isn't the phrase "in their own image" used? Again, in Gen.11:7,8, "us" is used and yet Yahuweh alone scattered them abroad. According to Job 38:4-7, "the sons of haElohim shouted for joy" when Yahuweh created the earth. This doubtless refers to the malaks who were also present at the creation of man. Yahuweh could be speaking to them, in Gen.1:26, using the plural of majesty. An example of this is found in Ezr. 4:18; "The letter which ye sent unto us hath been plainly read before me." In this case, a letter was written strictly to King Artaxerxes and no one else (vs. 11). Yet the King speaks as though it was written to others as well. Another example would be the Queen of England saying, "We, the Queen of England, . . ." It can also be understood in the sense of someone saying, "Let us drive to the lake for a picnic," and yet, only the speaker does the driving. To believe Yahuweh is talking to Yahushua is an assumption. It is reading into the text something that it does not say.

If we do not try to force the scripture to conform to our own doctrines, they are so simple to understand. Instead men try to support "Holy Trinities", "Incarnations", "Transubstantiations", and the like. The Bible does not use terms like "Father" and "Son" to try and trick us. They are used to express a relationship that we can relate to. If Yahushua is Father Yahuweh, the scriptures would state it in plain language. Instead, it says that Yahushua is the Son of Father Yahuweh.

An article in "Israel Today" tried to explain this relationship by saying Yahuweh manifested himself in the fleshly form of Yahushua. The author calls this the incarnation. This same author rightfully puts down the trinity because the word is not found in the Bible and yet, he exalts another unscriptural term, "incarnation." Perhaps he was misled by the erroneous translation of 1 Tim.3:16 in the KJV. It says, "God was manifest in the flesh." A footnote in the Emphatic Diaglott reads, "Nearly all ancient MSS., and all the versions have "He who," instead of "Yah," in this passage." Even if the incarnation theory was true, would Yahuweh continue to manifest himself as Yahushua even after the Millennium? 1 Cor.15:24-28 and Rev.22:1 show both as separate beings after the Millennium. The truth is, they are not parts of one being but two separate and distinct beings. That is why Yahushua could say what he did in Jn.8:17,18, "It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me." Yahuweh and Yahushua are two separate beings, not two manifestations of one being.

When the scriptures are accepted at face value, without reading into the text more than it says, the relationship between the two becomes quite clear. In spite of this, many people are not satisfied with Yahushua's rank in the hierarchy of heaven. They feel a need to exalt him into the number one position, that of Yahuweh Almighty, and they will twist scripture in a variety of ways to accomplish this.

I just know what God says in Colossians and I take God's Word over man's any day. No disrespect to you.
What does He say in Colossians...? Here we go again, LOL:)
LOL, trust me I've said the same thing! I've been down this trail so many times and all in communicating our understanding of God's Word given to us by the Holy Spirit. If you know Brother Moreh you can ask him how many times we've been around the subject. You know what he says in Colossians and I just want your response to that Brother Mufasa. Know if you don't want to figure it out then I'll provide the scripture for you but I know you know what verse(s)I'm referring to. We'll both enjoy our discussions even if we never agree.
