Sitting At The Feet Of Our Master Yeshua
13 Principles of The Jewish Faith
(Below is my Messianic Version as well)
Principle #2 - YHVW/G-d Is Unique and One
"I believe with complete faith that the Creator, blessed be His Name, is unique and there is no likeness to Him in any way, and that He alone is our God, who was, and is and is to come"
***********************************************************
Yeshua The Aleph and The Tav, who was and is and is to come
Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.
Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him (Yeshua) is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Joh 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Joh 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
Joh 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
Joh 5:27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
Joh 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Joh 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Joh 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
Joh 17:20 "I pray not only for these, but also for those who will trust in me because of their word,
Joh 17:21 that they may all be one. Just as you, Father, are united with me and I with you, I pray that they may be united with us, so that the world may believe that you sent me.
Joh 17:22 The glory which you have given to me, I have given to them; so that they may be one, just as we are one -
Joh 17:23 I united with them and you with me, so that they may be completely one, and the world thus realize that you sent me, and that you have loved them just as you have loved me.
Principle #2 Deborah's Messianic Version
" I believe with complete faith that YHVW is Echad (One) and in that Oneness Yeshua and the Father are one. I believe and confess that Yeshua is the Son of G-d as the Scriptures say and besides him there is no one else. Just as Yeshua and the Father are one we also by faith in Yeshua as the Body of Messiah are one in Him. Yeshua is The Way, The Truth and The Life and the only way to the Father and that there is one Father of all, YHVW/G-d . I believe in the Triune nature of the One True G-d and that Yeshua is YHVW come in the Flesh"
Yeshua's prayer for us (John 17) was that we would be one, just as he and the Father are one. He will make Israel One (Judah and Ephraim) again under His Kingship (Ezekial 37). We are many in the Body, but there is only one Bride. When 2 people get married, they become one in the Fathers eyes.
None of use knows everything, we each have been given a revelation as we study His Word and when we come to together in the Body that revelation that each of us has, brings a more complete understanding. Just like a jigsaw puzzle may have thousands of pieces, each of the pieces put together make one picture, but if one piece of that puzzle is missing the picture is not complete.
1 Corinthians 12 states that YHVW has given us each spiritual gifts, but the gifts are incomplete until it comes together with other believers In Messiah. In other words we need each other to complete the picture. A Messianic Community can not thrive or survive if there is no unity and that unity must be based upon the Word of G-d and faith in Yeshua alone.
Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph 4:4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Echad suggests a compound unity -YHVW/Father-Yeshua/Son-Ruach HaKodesh-Holy Spirit of YHWH. This theme is brought up in the Scriptures many times. The reason there is no unity in the Body of Messiah is because we do not see ourselves as one in Messiah. However, I believe that Yeshua's prayer in John 17 will come to pass in these last days and that we will truly become one just as He and The Father Are One.
