Let Us Make Man

Shane Vaughn Teaches "Let Us Make Man" - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itKbXob6CnA Transcript: (00:00) [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] in this brief video I want to deal with a question that has prevailed in the Christian church for eons of time and here it is how can we say that there is one God Almighty creator of heaven and earth when it seems that in Genesis 1 ver 26 that the entire Ark argument of one God is eradicated when we read the verse of scripture that says let us make man in our own image in this video I promise you if you will stay with me for about 10 minutes we are going to unravel the mystery of this thinking and so with (00:54) that I make this statement let us make a video and yet I'm the only one that you see on the screen or how about this we're going to make a video but yet I'm the only person in the video how does that work how does that line up in this video you're going to learn that lesson today hello I'm Shane Von I'm the founder of first harvest Ministry the director of first Harvest Bible College and the bishop of first harvest Association of ministers and we are thrilled that you've taken time to learn truth with us today

church.org we would love to have you visit our website today so does does Genesis 1:26 prove that God is a trinity it's right there in plain English it seems like then God said let us make man in our image and our likeness Bingo there you go case dismiss uh AA La Vista that's the end of the discussion with that one verse that actually not even a whole verse with that one line the trinitarians the binitarianism that hold to a true one God belief now God is a plurality of gods they say because of this one line no matter what (03:13) the rest of the Bible says it's destroyed with this one line they believe that the godhead consists of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit come on they say are you folks blind can you not read that one line and know that there must be more than one that was at creation more than one that is in the god head but not so fast everybody are we sure are you absolutely positive that what I just read to you is what Genesis 1:26 actually says or are you a victim am I a victim are we all victims of a plague known as the lying pin of the (04:07) scribes Jeremiah chapter 8 and verse 8 says these words how can you say we are wise for we have the law of Yahweh when actually the lying pin of the scribes has handled it falsely you see there is a plague called the lying pen of the scribes in the translation of the Bible we believe that there was a mindset in those translators a mindset from which they came and when it came time to add words to the text in which you will see in a moment that's what was done these are human men the translators were not inspired the writers were and (05:00) in their translation they must add words to make it make sense but in so doing they must do that from their frame of reference and all of those men from that era had a frame of reference known as the doctrine of the Trinity created by the so-called Holy Catholic church but what I would like to do before we go any further is point out the obvious would you open your Bible right now and go with me to Genesis 1 26 and 27 a strange thing is going to happen here when you read these two verses together in context shall we Genesis (05:48) 1:26 then Yahweh said let us make man in our image in our likeness and let them rule over the fish of the Sea and the birds of the air over the livestock over all the Earth over all the creatures that move along the ground so Yahweh created man in his own image in the image of Yahweh he created him male and female he created them I want to point out the obvious in those two verses or would are what should be obvious at least but you see our thinking our doctrines our religions cause us to miss the obvious so in Reading those two (06:42) verses did you see anything obvious there I did I saw a contradiction I saw a dichotomy a juxtaposition I saw something that doesn't make any logical sense to the human mind what was that in verse 26 I see many gods let us make man and our image but yet in the very next verse I see the total opposite do you is that what you see I see one God Yahweh created man in his own image so brothers and sisters let us get to the bottom of this no pun intended uh verse 26 is a contradiction of 27 where all of a sudden Yahweh is singular (07:39) his own image in the image of Yahweh so which is it did they do it in verse 26 or did he do it in verse 27 you surely cannot have it both ways now can you it must be either or so I don't like contradictions in the word of God we find no security in the word of God when we see contradictions but in all my years of study I have yet to find one contradiction in the Holy Bible when it is understood and its proper context so let us do what our faithful or not so faithful translators failed to do and let me explain it did you hear that (08:30) I don't want to repeat it because I'm running out of time I said let us do what the translators failed to do and let me explain it well which is it is it us or is it me who's going to do the explaining I said us but then I said me and yet the whole time I was only referring to me and I'll explain how the laws of language allow for that plurality in a singular word now what was the intent of the translators and I don't mean to accuse these men I was not there but I do know history and I know that the translators (09:10) were men that were doing their best but they were men with opinions they were men with slanted thinking in their own way of thinking which is common to all men the first thing that we need to understand is scripture must be understood and context the worst thing you can do in the Bible is sound bite or do what we call isog Jesus where you isolate one sentence one line contrarywise to all of the other scriptures that say something different and try to create a Doctrine so we are going to apply we you and I but I'm the (09:53) one that's going to do it we are going to try to apply some context to the verse that we just read we are going to do what I always do and that's look at the original Hebrew ourselves and the original reference and I'm going to put those up on the screen for you to see we're going to put the verse back in context what does that mean a diamond is beautiful but when you set a diamond in a ring surrounded by the other baguettes and the other Princess Cuts and the if and you surround it with a context or a setting all of a sudden that diamond (10:36) shines even more tonight we must learn to take the word of God and find what surrounds it to bring it its true meaning that's called textual context then we're going to put the verse back in context of the entire word of Yahweh that is called scriptural context so what we have is original language textual context and scriptural context so let's start off with textual context the first thing that we need to do with Genesis 1-26 that reads us and our is simply go back and look at the original Hebrew script and I'm putting that on (11:23) your screen right now now this is not difficult to do you can simply take your Interlinear Bible and uh when you do that you're going to notice something very interesting I want you to look very close the words us and our are nowhere to be found in the Hebrew scripture okay would you would you write that down would you look and listen the word us and our is nowhere in the original scripture that's the first snail in the coffin tonight there is no us nor any hour in the original below and on what I'm showing you on the screen right now (12:11) Genesis 1 126 we have we have it in the English and the original Hebrew script under the English word that is actually in Hebrew you see noun or verb under the only words that are in the Hebrew text so the only English words are these said God man image and likeness now there is only six words I want you to look look here at your screen there are six words 1 2 3 4 five six how many Hebrew words do you see in Genesis 126 look at your screen count them you see those uh Hebrew uh uh letters letters there the Hebrew phrases (13:06) and words of course it's the only thing that's not English count it there's six however in Genesis 1 126 in English count your words 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 you have 14 English words that are not in the original Bible so eight words were added somebody say added to the text now this produces a problem because now we must trust trinitarian translators to add what they believe will make sense to these Hebrew words eight words I repeat were added by the translators now I'll be the first to admit that when you go from Hebrew to (14:08) English there is a need to add words I'm not condemning the translators for the addition of words in some cases there is no option or the whole uh thing will not make any sense at all and I'll show that to you in just a moment so that's not my issue my issue is this did they do the text Justice and follow the rules of translation or did they deviate from the rules of translation here in order to build a false Pagan Doctrine let us find out first we need to understand what the rules are that govern proper translation (14:57) There are rules that govern to make sure that there's not a molesting of the words in Translation now the way that that happens is with context as I stated before context is what must be kept at all cost at all cost if you're translating and you don't have the right word for the translation you must find the word that is in context and would translate the word in a contextual manner now there are several things that must be done in the laws of translation number one textual context number two historical context number three (15:47) scriptural context and number four spiritual context to properly understand in English what was originally written in Hebrew so we've got to look around the verse to find the setting and the context so let's go back to Genesis 126 and let's read it in the Hebrew Genesis 126 remember there's only six words only six Hebrew words to read and here they are the first word is weom Elohim n Adam Balu k muu now that literally says in Hebrew in a literal translation to English it would say said Elohim make man image likeness that doesn't make a lot of (16:46) sense to the English grammatical mind so the translators had a duty they of course they couldn't just translate it like that or you would be reading your English Bible said Elohim make man IM likeness that that won't work so yes the translators have a duty to add words to bring it into english comprehension so we have to add words to make it make sense to do that we look for the last point of context the context of this verse is clearly Elohim that that is the context of the verse so literally it should have been (17:35) translated in this way Elohim said let Elohim make man and elohim's image and in the likeness of Elohim so where did we get us and our that that really should not be in the text but you see the reason we got us an hour is Elohim is a plural word and I'll explain that in a moment of why it's plural but Elohim is in the Bible 2,598 times that's how many times you'll find Elohim and get this out of those 2,598 times 2,596 times the word Elohim is translated as the English word god referring to either yah Yahweh or God's plural (18:40) referring to the Angels or the family the sons of Yahweh Elohim can be either or it can be singular or plural depending on the context now in writing we indicate the singular use of the word Elohim with a capital E and the plural use of the word with a lowercase e so Yahweh is Elohim with a capital e but his sons and the angels are Elohim with a lowercase e in English now God and gods are the meaning of the word Elohim so if we're going to find out if it's singular we got to look at the context the strange thing is the only (19:37) two times in your Bible that the word Elohim is not translated as God is in Genesis 1: 126 where all of a sudden for some reason Elohim is translated us and our this is the great mystery of the lying pen of the scribes out of 2,598 times how can you translate the word Elohim into God 2596 times and only in two instances translated as us and our it's grammatically impossible this is a clear attempt by the lying pen of the scribes to the Pagan translators who believe in the Trinity to write that Doctrine into yahweh's holy text see let me explain (20:38) something to you yes yahweh's preserved his word and yes his word is perfect in their original manuscripts but the translations of Queen James I mean King James is not Divine no more than the translation of the new uh the new the NIV or the new King James or the American standard or the are none of these are Divine translations only the original writings now so in Genesis 1: 126 then Elohim said let Elohim make man an elohim's image and elohim's likeness now go to verse 27 and it'll flow perfectly so Elohim created man in his own image and (21:30) in the image of Elohim he created him do you see how simple and plain that is 26 and 27 must dovetail it must align there must be a plum line there perfectly you can't have 26 say one thing 27 say another and call it the Divine word of Yahweh because clearly that's total total dichotomies but if you translate 26 as it should be and then put it with 27 you'll have a perfect flow one more time instead of let us make man in our image it should say let Elohim make man in elohim's image it is really that simple and yet for (22:24) Generations men have failed to see it there is no Trinity now we just put that verse in textual context but now let's put it in scriptural context with the whole word of Yahweh amen and let's do that line up on line precept upon precept and we will see let's go to Psalms 82 and6 real quickly I'm almost done folks Psalms 82 and6 if you're watching would you comment below right down there and tell us where you're watching us from we would love to hear from you and then would you would you just hit the like button and the share (23:05) button and subscribe to our channel it's a blessing to us Psalms 82 and6 I said you are Gods you are all sons of the most high now again we have the same reading Yahweh is indicating that he is singular when he says I said the very first two words of Psalms 82 and6 is I said so I ask you is that singular or plural I said is singular so Yahweh is saying I said that you are Elohim or Gods see the word is the Elohim right there which is the plural form now he said the same thing in Genesis 126 you are Elohim you are all sons of the (23:59) singular most high if us and our were the proper reading then we would say in Psalms 82 and6 we said you are all Gods son of us the most high please don't lose me right there go back to Psalms 82 and six and if we're going to use the same leeway that they used in Genesis 1 126 then Psalms 82 and6 would have to read we said you are Gods you are all sons of we or us most high but that's not what it says it's proper in this verse Yahweh said I said that you are Elohim we see below in Isaiah 42 and5 let's read Isaiah 42 and5 is going to prove to us (25:04) in scriptural context that there is no us or our there is no Trinity no binitarianism there is none of that there is simply Yahweh there is no pre-existent Christ there is simply Yahweh Isaiah 42 and5 this is what Yahweh says he who created the heavens and stretched them out who spread out the Earth and all that comes out of it who gives breath to its people and Life to those who walk on it so I ask you that's watching me students according to Isaiah 42 and5 who created the heavens and the Earth and who created man that walks on the earth I'll (25:54) wait for your answer shout it out to me type it in the comments below who created man your answer is in the first few words of this verse Isaiah 42 and5 Yahweh said that he alone created man amen another verse Isaiah 45 and5 I am Yahweh if I'm going too fast for you to find the verses just press the pause button and once you get the verse let's keep going Isaiah 45 and 5 I am Yahweh there is no other apart from me there is no God neither trinitarian nor binitarianism means that you believe Yahweh and yua (27:01) are equal in Authority they were both their creation they're both Eternal they're both pre-existent my friend become a true one God Apostolic believer there is one God or rather let's change that there is one creator that is Yahweh there are many in the Elohim but there is only one Creator Yahweh Isaiah 45 and5 I am Yahweh there is no other I form the light and create Darkness I bring prosperity and create disaster yah I Yahweh do all these things it is I singular who made the Earth and created mankind upon it (27:52) brothers and sisters you cannot be honest with yourself one more second and believe that in Genesis 1:26 we created man and then get to Isaiah 45 and see that he created man it won't work it simply will not work my own hands stretched out the Heavenly scroll I marshaled their Starry constellations for this is what Yahweh says he who created the heavens he alone is Yahweh he who fashioned and made the Earth he founded it he did not create it to be empty but formed it to be inhabited he says I am Yahweh and there (28:41) is no other Creator Isaiah 44 and6 this is what Yahweh says Israel's King now why is he Israel's King because at this time yua has not been installed as yah always proxy King he said I'm the Redeemer Yahweh Almighty I am the first and I am the last apart from me there is no Creator if us brothers and sisters please listen if us and our were the proper translation Genesis 1: 127 would have to read so we created man in our own image in the image of us we created him but you know that's not what it says it says (29:34) and Yahweh created man in his own image I'm closing with these words truth matters the day that truth is no longer everything is the day that truth is no longer anything you must develop love for truth you must worship the true God of Israel and that God is Yahweh Elohim creator of Heaven and Earth thank you for watching please visit our website
