Chapter 6 The great problem

 

Chapter 6

The great problem

 

But the big problem is just beginning. It is found in Hebrews 1:10-12. This is a quotation from Psalm 102 and if we put them in context, it becomes clear that they are addressed to the Father YEHOWAH, the God of Israel, and not to His Son.

 

Consider the context:

Young's Literal Translation

Do Not Hide Your Face From Me

1. A Prayer of the afflicted when he is feeble, and before Jehovah poureth out his plaint. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, yea, my cry to Thee cometh.

2. Hide not Thou Thy face from me, In a day of mine adversity, Incline unto me Thine ear, In the day I call, haste, answer me.

3. For consumed in smoke have been my days, And my bones as a firebrand have burned.

4. Smitten as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten to eat my bread.

5. From the voice of my sighing Hath my bone cleaved to my flesh.

6. I have been like to a pelican of the wilderness, I have been as an owl

of the dry places.

7. I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the roof.

8. All the day mine enemies reproached me, Those mad at me have sworn against me.

9. Because ashes as bread I have eaten, And my drink with weeping have mingled,

10. From Thine indignation and Thy wrath, For Thou hast lifted me up,

And dost cast me down.

11. My days as a shadow [are] stretched out, And I — as the herb I am

withered.

12. And Thou, O Jehovah, to the age abidest, And Thy memorial to all

generations.

13. Thou — Thou risest — Thou pitiest Zion, For the time to favour her,

For the appointed time hath come.

14. For Thy servants have been pleased with her stones, And her dust

they favour.

15. And nations fear the name of Jehovah, And all kings of the earth Thine honour,

16. For Jehovah hath builded Zion, He hath been seen in His honour,

17. He turned unto the prayer of the destitute, And He hath not despised

their prayer.

18. This is written for a later generation, And the people created do praise Jah.

19. For He hath looked From the high place of His sanctuary. Jehovah

from heaven unto earth looked attentively,

20. To hear the groan of the prisoner, To loose sons of death,

21. To declare in Zion the name of Jehovah, And His praise in Jerusalem,

22. In the peoples being gathered together, And the kingdoms — to serve Jehovah.

23. He hath humbled in the way my power, He hath shortened my days. 24. I say, ‘My God, take me not up in the midst of my days,’ Through all

generations [are] Thine years.

25. Beforetime the earth Thou didst found, And the work of Thy hands [are] the heavens.

26. They — They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed.

27. And Thou [art] the same, and Thine years are not finished.

28. The sons of Thy servants do continue, And their seed before Thee is

established!

The question is: why the Son is called "God" in Hebrews 1:8, and the

Creator in Hebrew 1:10, if the Father is the God and the Creator in the message of the Bible?

 

Some say that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is called God in Hebrews 1:8 where it reads, "But of the Son He says, 'Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever.'" Similarly, according to them, the Son is referred to as the Creator in Hebrews 1:10 where it reads: "And, You, Lord (the Son), laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands;" but these things would be true, with only one essential condition, to have been thus formulated in the original epistle to the Hebrews.

 

But were they really so? This question arises, because towards the end

of the first century AD, there appeared some turbulent sects, with different strange ideas, that falsified the Holy Scriptures, in order to help

their writings with these false renderings. Such a problem was the propagation of a triune god, a god with three faces, three in one.

 

These sects did their best to adjust the Scriptures to match their ideas.

Let's see again how these ideas render, in their doctrine:

“The moment I thought about them, behold, the heavens opened, all the

creature beneath the sky lit up, and the world shook. I was scared and,

here, I saw someone sitting next to me in the light. Looking, he seemed

to be someone old. Then he changed his appearance to a young man. Not that there were more faces in front of me, but inside the light, there was a face with more faces. These faces were visible to each other, and the face had three faces.” {Apocryphon of John}

The Secret Book of John, also called the Apocryphon of John, is a second-century forgery, made by the Gnostic proto-Trinitarians.

 

Our book is about this type of Christians, who they were, their school of thought, and the conspiracies they were engaged in against the true message of the Bible. We wrote this book in order to raise public awareness about the importance of a general revision of the Bible, coming out of the unfair stereotypes taken from the Gnostics, that have been worked on for so long.
