Sexuality from the Yahwist Narratives - Essay Example

Sexuality from the yahwist narratives The yahwists perfectly understand, that if the Christ will appear Yahweh, that is the True God everything, their absolute "theology" will break up, as a house of cards. Having shown, that Yahweh and the Christ are the same Person, we shall find out an obvious inconsistency and stiffness of their theological gamble. So, lets pay attention to the words in Genesis about our Savior. Yahwists like very much to quote The Second Law 6, 4 where the following is spoken: Listen, Israel: the Lord, our God, the Lord is uniform. Thus they try to prove, that the True God is only one ("one" in the sense "unit"). The Same word use for one day and night - "day one" (the Life. 1, 5), and for a designation of unity between the man and the woman - "one flesh"). Further we shall result the well-known messianic, prophetical texts which even the Yahwists relate to the Christ: So the Lord (Yahweh) will give you a sign: that is the maiden who in her belly will get and give birth to the Son, and will name him Emmanuil (letters. - the god or Yahweh" the unique God ") with us (7, 14). The unique true translation of the name "Emmanuil" is "God with us". And as there is no other (true) God, except Yahweh (43, 10-11), Jesus Christ and Yahweh is the same Person. (1,18-23). The baby was born to us - the Son is given to us; sovereignty of Him, also will be named: Wonderful, the Adviser, the God strong, the Father of eternity, Prince of the World (9, 6). This prophecy comprises about what with trembling sacred apostle Paul wrote:... Great pieties secret: the God was in a flesh... (1:;3, 16). So, Himself Yahweh promised to live among people, as the person. In this text inexpressible qualities of the God are resulted: who, except Yahweh, - the God Strong? Who, except for the God, the Father of eternity? Here for memory the bible name comes also - "Michael" which is translated " Who is those, how the God? ". The Yahwists try to ignore this circumstance, speaking, that the Christ - "the powerful God", but not Almighty what is only Yahweh. They result as argument the text from the messages of sacred apostle Paul (1; 8, 5): there are so-called gods, either in the sky, or on the ground... Placing this verse in the interpretation, they have only two mutually exclusive possible decisions: or the Christ - not the true God (and consequently, He is a "false" God), that for them is unacceptable, or Jesus Christ - the True God (and then it turns out, that there are two true Gods), and it for them also is unacceptable. Here pertinently to specify the chapter of the Genesis where the Christ and Yahweh are presented in the same images1. In the Gospel from sacred apostle John (8, 58-59) we read: Jesus has told it: truly, truly I speak you: before rather than there was Abraam. Then jutes have taken the stones to throw on Him... Here Jesus has told the same, that has told to Moisis. It is clear already that jutes were going to beat him by stones stones. Under the Hebrew legislation it was possible to with the help of beat stones only in five cases: 1. Blasphemy: the Lion. 24, 10-23; 2. Conversation with spirits: the Lion. 20, 27; 3. A prophecy or any action entailing worship to other gods: II. 13, 5-10; 4. Punishment of children (adult sons) for rebelliousness: II. 21,18-21; 5. Fornication and прелюбодеяние: the Lion. 20, 10; II. 22, 21-24. 2 It is obvious, that Judes wished to execute Christ, not for any usual offence (the insult or still something), and for Blasphemy. What from the aforesaid could be "blasphemy"? Only - I am Real (that is Yahweh). Jesus spoke about the Divine nature, for what judes, did not understand the law, and wished to beat him by the stones. The Greek word-combination "Ego eimi" - "I am" - cannot be translated neither past, nor future time. Having taken any directory or the textbook of ancient greek grammar, we can be convinced that "eirni" is an absolute form, a verb to eat or "be". In the New Testament it is possible to meet it for some times: for example, in the Gospel from John (8, 24, 28; 13, 19; 18, 5). The similar form is used in the Greek translation of the Old testament where it is in the same way translated from the Jewish language and a name "Yahweh" (II. 32, 39; Ис. 43, 10; 46, 4). Thus, on pages of the Genesis before us there is an image of Son Bozhiego, Jesus Christ which and is - "Yahweh", the God Strong, the Father of eternity. We already saw that the yahwists reject Divine essence of Sacred Spirit, recognizing him for "active force of the God - Yahweh" as they have written it in the translation of the Bible. But God’s word, let alone the Sacred Legend, opens to us Third side of the Sacred Trinity as having the integral personal property. Naturally, we not begin to deny, that "the Spirit Divine" is meant expression also Divine spiritual force by means of which the God orders primitive chaos (1, 2), alives (2, 7), supports a life ( 27, 3; 42, 1-6), supervises lives the person and mankind (32, 8; 2, 6).3 But at the same time the Spirit Divine (Spirit Sacred) is the Third side of the Sacred Trinity, which is eternal (that is outside of time) proceeds from the God of the Father (15, 26), stays in the Son (Rome. 8, 9) also it is sent to the world by the Son, proceeding from the Father (15, 26). It is equal to the Father and the Son and together with Them is glorified (28, 19). It unite to the Father and the Son (1; 5, 7). Except for personal properties of the God of the Father and the God of the Son, inexpressible Divine properties are inherent in Sacred Spirit all: It Is uniquitous (14, 26; Rome. 8, 9), it is allmighty (1, 12, 7), it is eternal (14, 16), etc. Even in translation of "the New World", executed by the Yahwists, the Sacred Spirit is capable: to testify (15, 26) to edify (16, 13) to speak (13, 2) to predict (21, 10-11) to be afflicted (63-10), and also it is possible for him to lie (5, 3-4). Obviously, yahwists are confused with the words of the sacred apostle Luke which has written in the book of Acts of apostles, that one day they were executed by Sacred Spirit (2, 4). So, the Yahwists ask: " As the person can be executed by the person? ". Such questions get in area of scholasticism and consequently, can be thought, somehow. We shall keep to it the respectful attitude and we shall remember, that the body of the person is a temple of Sacred Spirit living in it (6, 19). A stumbling-block for the Yahwists are the expressions testifying to personal properties of This or that Person of the Sacred Trinity. That is the problem of sexuality, because they consider that God does not have any definite sex. We mean "birth" (Son) and "Sacred Spirit". Given rise happens always the same essence, as Giving rise; and creating and created - other essence, the lowest, in relation to Creating. " So, we see, that the ahwists not recognizing Divine essence of Son and Sacred Spirit, have created their God to an image and similarity ", comfortably having found room for It in the conceptual device for which there is no concept "secret ".
