← Grade I · Yahweh and His Human MessiahApostolic Confession

Yahweh alone is God

The one God is not a triune essence. He is Yahweh, the Father: the source, sender, judge, and God of Yeshua.

Teaching 1 of 42

The argument

Israel's confession names Yahweh as one. Yeshua addresses the Father as the only true God, distinguishes himself as the one sent, and ascends to “my God and your God.” Paul likewise distinguishes the one God, the Father, from the one Lord Messiah. Resurrection Society lets those distinctions govern its language rather than making them temporary appearances inside a later metaphysical formula.

Why it matters

The identity of God orders worship. If the Father is merely one person inside a larger being, the direct confession of Yeshua has been replaced at its center.

Objection and response

Does calling Yeshua human dishonor him or deny the high language of John and the letters?

No. Agency, enthronement, Word, wisdom, image, and lordship language can be read within Jewish monotheism without collapsing the commissioned Son into the God who commissions him.

What this teaching does not claim

This confession does not make Yeshua marginal. It identifies the God who exalted him and therefore gives his messianic authority its biblical source.
