YAHSHUA Vs Jesus Posted on 01-14-2006

Shalom to you all, I wanted to ask a question to my people. Why have we accepted the images of Jesus and/or a symbol of the graven image of the cross when the biblical law states and it is written: Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Leviticus 26:1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the YAHWEH your ELOHIM. Deuteronomy 4:16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, Deuteronomy 4:23 Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the YAHWEH your ELOHIM, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the YAHWEH thy ELOHIM hath forbidden thee. Deuteronomy 5:8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: Having this man(Jesus)up in our houses, churches and now on television, isn't this breakingthe law made by ELI(God)?Is he not a jealous God Deuteronomy 4:24 For the YAHWEH thy ELOHIM is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. Deuteronomy 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the YAHWEH thy ELOHIM am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, Deuteronomy 6:15 (For the YAHWEH thy ELOHIM is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of theYAHWEH thy ELOHIM be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth. Having said this who is the real Messiah AD'AM/YAHSHUA or Jesus? You decide. www.divineunity1.com Hebrewwoman

Messiah is Yeshua/Jesus God Almighty is Yahweh/Jehovah Jesus is not God, he is the son of God. Jesus died on an upright pole (stauros in Greek), not a crossbeam. the cross, and the concept of a triune god, is a pagan symbol predating christianity. Think Babylon (tammuz, the babylonian cross in a circle), Egypt (the ankh, and the holy trinity of their gods), India (the hindi triune godhead). The use of the cross in worship, the wearing of one and venerating it like it has power(cross as lucky charm), bowing down to one, genuflecting before one, is an act of idolatry. People who venerate a dying Jesus on a cross are committing idolatry. He ain't **** no more, He is alive in heaven **** as king. The command to "make not a graven image" of God/Yahweh/Jehovah was one to the Israelites to separate them from the pagan nations surrounding them. The command was to not make an object of worship out of anything created. Jesus is not God, so drawing a picture of Jesus does not violate that command. WORSHIPING, bowing before, a picture of Jesus would violate that command, because it is making on object of worship out of something created. We are no longer under the mosaic law. Jesus sacrifice of his life cancelled the mosaic law. However, the command to "obstain from idols/idolatry" is integral to the new covenant in the new testament. Therefore, worshipping(kissing, bowing before, praying to, venerating) ANYTHING made of wood, stone, platinum, or ink and canvas would be idolatry. It is not a sin to draw a picture of Jesus/Yeshua/Messiah/Christ. It is not a sin to draw a picture of what you think Jehovah/God/Almighty/Yahweh looks like. It is a sin to worship such a picture, or use a pagan symbol(cross) in worship as a good luck charm, as if wearing one or having one in your house could bring salvation. picture of Egyptian Ankh: picture of Irish Gaelic Cross, 2000 B.C.E : Picture of Babylonian Cross:
