Someone ask the Savior "Master, will there only be a few people saved?"  (Luke 13:23)

Someone once asked the Savior, “Lord, will there only be a few people saved” to which the Messiah answered “Strive to enter at the Narrow Gate, for many I tell you will seek to enter and will not be able to" (Luke 13:23-24).... 

"Many will say to Me on that day, ' Lord, Lord,...and then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from me you who practice LAWLESSNESS" (Matt 7:22-23)  - read more

 New Videos

 Newly added videos that I believe will change the way you think about the Bible.

 Newest video:  The Trinity doesn't exist - Absolute Proof

In this recently added video (12.20.2022) I show how "no one, absolutely no one" in the Bible believed in a Trinity or the idea that the Messiah Yahoshua was God Almighty or claiming equality with God Almighty. It's true that on two occasions, possibly 3, John 5:18; 8:58; 10:30, he was accused of claiming equality with God, but as you'll see in the video that at his trial NO ONE ever brought such a charge against him. They accused Yahoshua the Messiah of "Trusting in God" not being God.

 

Rom 6:14 ".... you are not under law but under grace.

The apostle Paul tells us in Romans 6:14 that “we ar not under the Law but under grace”. Does not being “under the Law” mean that we are no longer required to obey God's Law? To misunderstand Paul, as the apostle Peter tells us, will cause many people to be destroyed. It would be worthwhile for you to watch the video and make sure that you are not among those that are misunderstanding Paul.

 

Romans 3:20 "no man is justified by the works of the Law"

Why after telling us that "only those who obey the Law will be justified" (Rom 2:13) does Paul say that 'no man will be justified by the deeds of the Law" (Rom 3:20)? Does Paul sound a little confusing in making those statements? According to the apostle Peter it sounds confusing (2 Pet 3:16). Peter tells us that some things Paul said "are hard to understand" (2 Pet 3:16). And this my friend is one of those things Paul said that many Christians misunderstand. BUT, what Peter also tells us is that people who are misunderstanding Paul "WILL BE DESTROYED".  Are you one of those people who are misunderstanding some of the things Paul said?  Find out.

 

Part 1  “The Hard Sayings of Paul” – 2 Pet 3:16

The apostle Peter tells us in 2 Peter 3:15-16 that the apostle Paul said some things that are hard to understand. And Peter goes on to tell us that people will be DESTROYED for their misunderstanding of those 'hard things' that Paul said. What could Paul have said that was of such importance that would cause people to be destroyed for their misunderstanding of it.

One example is Paul telling us in Romans 2:13 that “those who obey the Law will be justified”and in the very next chapter he says that “no man will be justified by the deeds of the Law” Rom 3:19-20. And latter on in the same chapter, Rom 3:31, Paul tells us that “we establish the Law through faith”

Confusing! Maybe not for you but it was for the apostle Peter.

Learn the answer to these supposedly contradictory statements made by Paul and much more in Part's 1 and 2 of “The Hard Sayings of Paul”.

 

Part 2 “The Hard Sayings of Paul – 2 Pet 3:16

In Part 2 of “the Hard Sayings of Paul” we'll take a look at:

*  Act 21:25 “concerning the gentiles”

*  Why Paul was to offer a “sin Sacrifice” while under a Nazirite Vow, roughly 20 years after the death and resurrection of the Messiah Yahoshua?

*  Why the Messiah had to die for sins, if we'll told that we'll be forgiven if we repent?

*  The meaning of “the righteous shall live by faith

*  What sins we're forgiven on the Day of Atonement?

 

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word and Word was with God and the Word was God"

In John 1:1 we're told that the 'logos' meaning the Word, speaking of Yahoshua the Messiah, was “with God” and that he was the very God that he was with. Is this how the apostle John meant for us to understand his words here?

Again, if you have an honest heart and it's the truth that you are seeking, watch the video and you decide what it is John was telling us.

 

John 10:30 "I and the Father are one"

 In John 10:30 after telling the Jews that “he and His Father are one” the Jews accused the Messiah of blasphemy. What did the Savior mean when he said that He and his Father are one? Was he explaining that he and his Father were part of a 3 – 1 god known as a Trinity? Would you be surprised to learn that 'we' his disciples are to be one “just as he and the Father are one”? (John 17:19:22).

Please view the video. It's very informative. I believe you'll learn things for the Scriptures that you might not have known before.

.

John 10:34 "I said you are gods" 

 1 John 10:34  "I said you are gods". The Messiah Yahoshua when accused of blasphemy by the Jews for saying that he and his Father are one he quoted Psalm 82:6 to them, saying "If He (the heavenly Father Yahuweh) called them gods to whom the word of God came why do you say that I'm blaspheming for saying that I am the Son of God? Who are these 'gods' in Psalm 82:6, for not only does the Almighty Yahuweh call these men gods, he also calls them “His children”. Most ministers don't know the answer to that question.  Watch the video, I believe it will change the way you think about the Bible.

 

Col 2:9 "for in Him all the fullness of deity dwells in bodily form" 

 In Colossians 2:9 we're told that "the fullness of Deity/God" dwells in the Messiah Yahoshua.  Does this 'fullness of God' make the Messiah the very God who is said to be dwelling in him? Or does it possibly make the Messiah Yahoshua "equal" to the very God that is in-dwelling him?  Those questions and more are discussed in this video. 

 

 1 John 5:20 "...this is the true God and Eternal Life

The Messiah Yahoshua tells in John 17:3 that His Father is the Only True God and he, Yahoshua is the One that the Only True God sent. In John 20:17 after meeting Mary in the garden after his resurrection, he told Mary to "go to my brethren and say to them that I ascend to my Father and your Father, my God and your God. If the Messiah calls his Father His God and the Only True God then what 'God' is John talking about in 1 John 5:20 when he said "this is the true God and Eternal Life"?

 

The Heavenly Father's Name

Exo 3:15  Elohim, furthermore, said to Moses, "Yahuweh, ....' This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations.

Did you know that the Heavenly Father put His Name in His book, the Bible, over 6,823 times? Why is it than that most people that read the Bible, Jew and Christian alike, never heard of the Almighty's Name? Is it important that you know the heavenly Fathe's Name? You be the judge Click here to read the articles and view the video.

Psa 83:18 That they may know that You alone, whose name is Yahuweh, Are the Most High over all the earth.

Isa 52:6 "Therefore My people shall know My name; therefore in that day I am the one who is speaking, 'Here I am.'"

       Mal 3:16 Then those who feared Yahuweh spoke to one another, and Yahuweh gave attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear Yahuweh and who esteem His name.

       Mat 6:9 "Pray, then, in this way: 'Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

       Rom 9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "for this very purpose I raised you up, to demonstrate my power in you and that My Name might be proclaimed throughout the whole earth."

Did you know that the name 'Jesus' doesn't appear in the 1611 KJV Bible, not one single time!

Of course I'm not referring to the King James Bible used today, which is roughly the 25th revision of the original 1611 version. I'm referring to the original 1611 KJV.The name Jesus IS NOT in there one single time. Why? Read on to find the answer.

Are you aware that the letter “J” did not exist in any language on the face of the  earth until the year 1520 A.D, and it did not come into popular use for roughly another 100 years. Consequently when the 1611 KJV was written the letter 'J' did not appear in it, not one single time.. Let me repeat that, “the original 1611 King James Bible does not contain the letter 'J' not even one time. If the letter 'J' didn't exist until the year 1520, and was never used in the 1611 King James Bible, than how could the Messiah's name have been pronounce “Jesus”? The answer is “it wasn't”. The One who died for the sins of Israel was never called by the name 'Jesus', nor did he or anyone else in his day ever hear the name 'Jesus'. Why? Because the name 'Jesus' would not have existed for roughly another 1,500 years. With that being the case then what name was Peter talking about when he said

Act 4:12  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 

If the name 'Jesus' did not exist when Peter made this statement then what is the name by which we must be saved? For the answer as to what name it is that we must call on to be saved  click here.

"I said YOU are gods"  John 10:34

Who are these "gods" that the Messiah is referring to?

When the Jews accused the Messiah of claiming to be God he quoted Psalm 82:6 and asked the question "If He, that is the Heavenly Father Yahuweh, called them, that is the judges of Israel, gods then why do you accuse me of blasphemy for saying that I am the Son of God?"

Most Christians are unaware of the fact that along with the judges of Israel being called 'gods' the angels, Moses, and Samuel the prophet are also referred to as 'gods' in the Bible. How is that possible when Yahuweh Himself tells us that "there is no God but Me" (Isaiah 43:10)?   "click here"  to find out the answer to this very important question.

        The Trinity  -  Really?  

(New Video - "Who is God" dtd 3.22.2022)

 

With billions of Christians believing in a Triune god, that is a 3 in 1 god known as the  "Trinity" one would think that the Trinity is talked about throughout the entire Bible, and yet the fact is that such terms as "the Trinity", 'god the Son', 'god the Holy Spirit' or the 1st and 2nd persons of anything, are never mentioned in the Bible, not one single time. Why is that? Click here for the answer.

What 'must' we believe about the Messiah !

Please turn in your Bble to the passage where we're asked to believe that the Messiah Yahoshua is the 'god/man'. 
 Can't  find it?  How about the passage that tells us that the Messiah is the 2nd person of the Triune godhead?  You say that's not there either?  How about the passage that calls Messiah "god the son". No, again that term is never found in the Bible. Surely the word "Trinity" is on every page of the Bible. What's that, the word "Trinity" is never mentioned in the Bible! How is that possible?  The fact is you're not going to find any of those phrases ever mentioned in the Bible and yet such terms are used by a majority of Christianity today.

If such terms as god/man, god the son. or the 2nd person of the Triune godhead or Trinity are never mentioned in the Bible then what exactly are we told to believe about the Messiah Yahoshua? In this article we'll be taking a look at everything the Bible tells us about the Messiah and what it is we MUST believe about Him in order to be saved.  To view the article "click here".

 "I and the Father are One" John 10:30

 Before we take a look at how the Savior meant for us to understand how he and the Father are one, there's a couple of things I'd like to point out first. 

How many beings or persons does it take to make up a triune god, or Trinity? Of course the answer is ' 3.'  How many persons, or beings does the Savior tells "are one"? The answer is, "I and My Father are one."  If anything the Messiah 'disproved' the idea of a 'triune'  or 3 in 1 god with his statement. If Yahoshua was part of a triune god he would have said, "I and the Father and the Holy Spirit are one."  But of course neither he, nor anyone else in the Bible ever said such a thing.

The concept of a 'Trinity' was not only never mentioned in the entire Bible, the very first time in history that anyone ever suggested such a thing, as far as the Scriptures are concerned, was in the year 200 A.D. by a man named Tertullian, one of the so-called 'early church fathers'.  And from that time until now 'trinitarians' have been trying to harmonize such a belief with the Bible by using a handfull of passages, always taken out of context. All of those passages will be discussed on this website, 'theremnantofisrael.org'.  

Even though Yahoshua made it clear on numerous occasions while on earth, and afterwards, that his Father, Yahuweh, is the Only True God (John 17:3; 20:17; Matt 27:46; 1 Cor 8:6; 1 Time 2:5; Rev 3:2,12, etc) so many refuse believe it. And one of the passages used in an attempt to deny the words of the Savior is found in John 10:30. So with a desire to find "truth" rather than continue on in a tradition let's take a look it. 

I think it will become extremely obvious in this article that the Messiah is in no way trying to make himself out to be part of a 2 in 1, or 3 in 1 god, in which it is said he's the second part of. 

If the Messiah was not trying to imply that he and his Father "are one" in the sense of them both being part of a "godhead" then what did he mean by saying that he and his Father are "one"?  Turn, if you would, to John 17 and we're going to read verses 3, 11, and 21-23. (You might want to mark these passages in your Bible)

In John 17:3, "This is Eternal Life, that they might know YOU, Father, the only True Elohim (G-d), and Yahoshua the Messiah, whom you sent"

Yahoshua's starts his prayer to His Heavenly Father, by making it clear to all those who will hear him, that He IS NOT the Only True Elohim (G-d), but rather His Father, Yahuweh is. And He, Yahoshua the Messiah, is the one whom the Only True Elohim, Yahuweh, has sent. To know and believe this, according to the Savior, is Eternal Life.

In verse 11, of chap 17, the Savior, tells us: John 17:11, "And I am no more in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to you, Holy Father, keep them in your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one, even as we are one"

In what sense are we to be 'one' even as the Yahuweh, the Father, and Yahoshua, the Messiah, are 'one'?   We'll take a look at the answer in a moment. But if you would please drop down to verses 21 -23 of the same chapter,

Jn 17:21-23, "...that they may all be one;even as You Father, are in Me, and I in you, that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that You did send Me. And the glory which You have given Me I have given to them; that they may be one, 'just as We are one'; I in them, and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, that the world may know that You did love Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, in order that they may behold My glory, which You have given Me; for You did love Me before the foundation of the world, O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You did send Me..."

There is so much that the Savior said here that we can discuss in more detail, such as the fact that glory which the Father gave to the Messiah, He gave that glory to His disciples, and of course THIS IS NOT the glory that was His because He was part of a Trinity, or co-equal with the Father, who He just got through telling His disciples was the "Only True Elohim (G-d)," in vs 3. If it was such a 'glory', making the Messiah equal with the Father, than I'm sure there are those that would come up with all kinds of wild ideas. Such as the Mormons for example, who use this very passage to say "they" are all going to be 'gods' some day, ruling over their own planets. I hope that sounds as bizarre to you as it does to me. But that is exactly how so many people through their misunderstanding of a passage develop such unscriptural concepts. The Trinity would be another one of the concepts that developed through people's misunderstanding of certain passages.

The fact is, that the "glory" which the Father gave to the Son, the Son gave to His disciples. We'll talk more about 'His Gory' in another article, but what we want to focus on for the moment is the fact that the disciples are to be one. How are they to be one? 'JUST AS THE FATHER AND SON ARE ONE,' we are to be one with them. Vs 22.

Now if we can understand in what sense the Father, Yahuweh and His Son, Yahoshua, and are one, it should become clear in what sense we, the disciples, are to be one, with them.

1) We are to be one with Yahoshua and the Father, in doctrine, or teaching.

  • 2John 1:9 "Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in 'the teaching of Messiah,' does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son,"

Of course one of the primary teachings of the Messiah is that His Father, is His Elohim (G-d), (John 20:17; Rev 3:2,12) and His Father is, the "Only" True God, (John 17:3).

For anyone to go beyond this and say that the 'Only True Elohim (G-d)' is actually made up of a 2 in 1, or a 3 in 1 god, known as a trinity, in which the Savior is the 2nd part of, is not abiding in the teaching of the Messiah, and does not have Elohim (G-d). As the apostle John just stated above.  For NEVER does the Savior or anyone else in the bible ever ask us to believe that the Almighty is anyone other then the Heavenly Father, Yahuweh.

  • 1 Cor 1:3,10; "Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Master(Lord) Yahoshua the Messiah,...Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Master Yahoshua the Messiah, that you all agree, and there be no divisions among you, but you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment."

Obviously one of the things that the Corinthians agreed on, was that the 'Elohim' (G-d) mentioned here, or any where else in the bible, was not a Trinity.

2) We are to be forgiving towards one another as Yahuweh is towards us

  • Matt 6:14-15; For if you forgive men for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if do not forgive men, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions."

  • Eph 4:32; "And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Messiah also has forgiven you"

3) We, believers, should be one, in are love for one another.

  • John 17:23; I in them, and Thou in Me. that they may be perfected in unity, that the world may know that Thou didst send Me, and didst love them, even as Thou didst love Me"

  • John 13:34; "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another"

4) We should "walk even as He (the Savior), walked," 1 Jn 2:6, with the same attitude that He had, that not our will be done, but Yahuweh's will be done.

  • Matt 26:39, "My Father if it be possible let this cup pass from me, yet not my will but your will be done."

  • Jn 7:17, If any man is willing to do His will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of Elohim, OR whether I speak from Myself.

In other words, 'one in unity of purpose.'

In conclusion, the Savior in John 10:30, COULD NOT be implying that He and His Father are one in the sense that they make up a the 3 in 1 god of the Trinity, for they are only 2, NOT 3. And in whatever way the Savior and his Father are one, he clearly tells us - we are to be one "just as they are one" - John 17:11,22.

The Messiah Yahoshua's prayer to the Heavenly Father did not go unanswered. His followers are one, in the manner described above, "just as" He and the Father are one. For we are commanded to "walk even as the Savior walked" (1 John 2:6)

If you've come to believe the words of the Savior in that his Father is the Only True Elohim won't you please join us in worshiping the Father in spirit and Truth?

For an explanation on the remainder of this passage, and who the 'gods' were that the Savior referred to in verse, 34-35, see the article, "I said you are elohim (or gods)."
