If you find the truth, will you believe it?

If any man desires to do God's will, he will have the needed illumination to recognize, and can tell for himself whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking from myself and on my own accord.  John 7:17 

The Deity

Summary 

Elohim’s Word shows us TWO DIVINE BEINGS in the Deity.  Elohim, the Father, is the greatest Being in the Universe Who designed and created it all . . . existing from everlasting to everlasting.  He is immortal.  Yahuwah or Elohim, the Father, is the only One, eternal, immortal, self-existent, and Almighty Elohim.  Elohim means THE Supreme Being (not Supreme Beings), and His name Yahuwah means THE eternal, self-existent ONE (not two or three).

Yahushua, Elohim’s Son, was the first and only begotten Son of Elohim.  He had a day of beginning.  He is not eternal . . . there was a point in the distant past when He was “begotten.”  He was the One Who then created all other things through the power given to Him by His Father. 

He was the Father’s spokesman and visible representative to man in the Old Testament times.  He eventually came to the earth in human flesh to become man’s Substitute, Example, and Sacrifice.  While on earth, He was the human Son of Elohim Who, always referred to Himself as the Son of man.  He was the pre-incarnate Word that was made human flesh.  Since His resurrection, He has been highly exalted and given immortality . . . something He did not have before.  He is now the immortal Son of Elohim . . . possessing all the fullness of Deity.  All the fullness of Elohim’s nature now resides within the being of the resurrected, glorified Messiah.  This was all a part of Elohim’s eternal plan foreordained from before the foundation of the world and the Creation of the Universe.  He is always referred to in the Scriptures as the Son of Elohim and never as Elohim the Son (God the Son) and is now referred to as the Son of man.

The Holy Spirit is not a third Entity in the Deity.  The Holy Spirit is the Spirit or life-force of Elohim.  Both the Father and His Son operate and work through this Spirit or life-force.  They both live in us through this holy Spirit.  When we are “born again” of the Holy Spirit, both Elohim and Yahushua come to live within us through the Holy Spirit, which is Elohim’s Spirit (Isa. 63:10, 11, and 14).

How wonderful it is to have a proper understanding of the Deity.  How blessed we are to know who God (Yahuwah) and Jesus (Yahushua) are and to know what the Holy Spirit really is. Yahushua said to the Samaritan woman long ago:  “You worship you know not what:  we KNOW what (or Who) we worship" (John 4:22). 

Millions today do not know WHO they worship because they do not have a proper understanding of the Deity.  We are thankful the mystery of the Deity can be revealed to those who are willing to lay aside human tradition and preconceived ideas and then humbly and prayerfully search the Scriptures seeking for nothing but the truth.  Let us rejoice in the light of this wonderful revelation!  Numbers 6:24-26. 

“Seek and [the promise is] you shall find [the truth]” (Matt. 7:7).  If you do not seek, you will not find and remain deceived, for the Devil is deceiving the whole world (Rev. 12:9).  “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32) from the deceptions of Satan.  Only the Spirit of Elohim can guide us into all the truth (John 16:13).
