Hi Ray, Living Waters ministry! I approached you guys a while back to ask for the rights to translate some of Ray's books in another language for the purpose of evangelism. However, for the Scientific facts in the Bible I was not given any reply from its publisher! And it's been 2 months now. Can you help me speed up the process or direct me to another publisher I can talk to? Thank you
@MEAToftheWORDsermons4theMATURE Read the Old Testament and you will learn. The Holy Spirit will guide you into all the truth. Pray that He helps you in your quest to know God more deeply. Cheers.
A sinner can't pay the price for eternal life for another person because all of us have our own sin debt. Jesus isn't a sinner, so he COULD and did pay the price.
@@jacobbaum6421Sacrifices were a temporary covering for sin. Which is why they had to be done over and over and over again. Hebrews chapter 10 goes into more details if you’re truly interested.
@@ResponseGuy78Jewish friend this was an interesting discussion. Ray asked a good question, are your sins forgiven, are you in a right relationship with G-d? Or do you believe obeying rules and rituals is what please G-d? It's apparent today's Judaism is not the same as it was in Moses' and the prophet's day. Today, "Torah observant" simply means following rabbinic rules. So why was it that in Moses' day it meant repentance and by faith sacrificing substitutionary offerings to atone for sins (Leviticus 17:11, Genesis 15:6 & Habakkuk 2:4)? This could only have been fulfilled in Yeshua the ultimate sacrifice for sin (Isaiah 53:5 and Proverbs 30:4) who came as prophesied before the second temple was destroyed (Daniel 9:26). Why is it that the rabbis made us all think that rules and traditions invented by them, is Moses' law? It is seems that Moses and rabbinic law have nothing to do with one another. "Oral law" was never given by G-d on Mt Sinai but rather seems to be a rabbinic response to Yeshua. It turns out the oral law is an urban legend sadly believed as truth by many Jews today that will not make you right with God. If you have not yet discovered them, I'd like to introduce you to One For Israel. Shalom. Full article here: www.oneforisrael.org/bible-based-teaching-from-israel/did-god-also-give-moses-an-oral-law
@@ResponseGuy78how have you been misrepresented? Did Ray cut out important bits of the video? How do you feel about Isaiah 53? Also, did you know that the Old Testament speaks of a New Covenant, more than once?
@ResponseGuy78 ...blessings to you🙏 I enjoyed the conversation and your attitude. A couple years ago i went through the haftara and parasha ( i don't know if that is how it's spelled) and after reading each portion i listened to the podcast "the real thora pearls" with Nehemiah Gordon ( karaite Jew) and Keith Johnson ( Christian). I learned so much from both of them. The Word of GOD is so amazing, but we all need GOD to fully understand. The verse that came up every episode, and i pray it for myself and all people that love the Scriptures. Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold Wondrous things out of Thy Law. ( Psalm 119:18 )
@@ResponseGuy78 I just came upon something very interesting. Please read Yoma 38b (in the Talmud? Can't remember , I'm not strong on the various Jewish books). Please tell me what you find there and remember the dates involved.
@@ResponseGuy78You were so gracious in listening to Ray. There needs to be more people like you in these days. I need to listen better myself. Too often I’m reactive😞
I never made that association between Moses being hid behind the cleft of a rock and Jesus our Rock! Wow. Brought to tears over God’s love and mercy to me through Jesus!
Brad, remember, God told Abraham to sacrifice his only begotten son, Isaac. But told him to stop at the last second. This was foreshadowing of what God DID do to His only begotten son. God bless you, Brad. Praying for you. 🙏
The traditions of men. So many people have been deceived by the rabbis. This I have heard from actual Messianic Jews perhaps this is the synagogue of Satan that Yeshua was talking about
Dear Jesus we ask for your healing touch and strength for "beegs771" We thank you in advance for caring and for taking time to touch him. We ask it in Jesus name Amen.
When Jesus cried out "My God, My God why have You forsaken Me?", it was also a fulfillment of the prophecy in Isaiah 54:8 -- "In overflowing wrath I hid My face from You." Somehow I believe that was the most painful part of the Crucifixion for Jesus!
You're right! Also, when Jesus cried "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" he was quoting Psalm 22: 1. They read it in this video at 16: 30. This Psalm is fascinating because the Psalmist writes about the crucifixion from the Messiah's perspective. Psalm 22 continues: "Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hands and my feet. All my bones are on display; people stare and gloat over me. They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment." (Psalm 22: 16-18, NIV). This was literally fulfilled when the Roman soldiers drove nails through Jesus' hands and feet, leaving him hanging on the cross while they gambled over his clothes. Psalm 22 predicted the Messiah would be killed in a humiliating way, with people gloating over him, and with his bones exposed by the awkward position he was left hanging in. Psalm 22 also predicted the Messiah would be resurrected and highly rewarded. In vv. 19-21, the Psalmist asks God to be near him and deliver his life from the Gentiles who were killing him. Then in vv. 22-24 the Psalmist leads G-d's people in praise because G-d did not despise him but listened to his prayer. This could not happen unless the Messiah was raised back to life first. The rest of the Psalm praises the Lord, saying "They [i.e. future generations of G-d's redeemed people] will proclaim his righteousness, declaring to a people yet unborn: He has done it!" (Psalm 22: 31). This is happening today, with G-d's people praising him with gladness for what He has done. Blessings
I do not know a lot about the Jewish religion, but this interview is so informative!! May this ministry, by the power of the Holy Spirit continue to grow and inform until Jesu a returns!!! Thank you forever!!!
Respectfully, I disagree that this verse is about Yeshua, it's about Israel. Isaiah 54:8 "For YHVH has called you, *like a wife forsaken* and grieved in spirit, even *like a wife of one's youth when she is rejected,"* says your God. "For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I will *gather you.* In an outburst of anger I hid My face from you for a moment, but with everlasting lovingkindness I will have compassion on you," Says YHVH your Redeemer." Israel was rejected like a wife but will be forgiven and shown compassion. Isaiah 54 says it is 'YHVH your redeemer' speaking. Who is 'YHVH your redeemer'? *It's Yeshua.* Isaiah 54:5 "For your husband is your Maker, Whose name is YHVH of hosts; *and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel,* Who is called the God of all the earth." The Holy One of Israel is Yeshua and is their Redeemer. (His redeemer is YHVH of Hosts). It's YHVH _their Redeemer_ (Yeshua) who says *He* hid *His* face _from her_ for a moment. We also know that YHVH of Hosts (Yeshua's Redeemer) did not forsake Yeshua! It's in the bottom of Psalm 22! Psalm 22:24 "For He has *not* despised *nor* scorned the suffering of the afflicted; *_nor has He hidden His face from him;_* but when he cried to Him for help, *He heard!"* Yeshua was not forsaken by the Father. When he cried out to the Father, he was heard, *and not forsaken.* God bless
Yes, this is about eternal life in either one or two places. Thank you for bringing this up, I always like to say, I'd rather offend someone into heaven, then flatter them into hell. People need to take this so very seriously, but the spiritual warfare out there is intense. People need to know the enemy, in order to fight the enemy. I'm the best way to fight in this battle, is through prayer

All that verse in Ezekiel or wherever is saying is that a son won’t be punished for the sins of his father on judgement day and that he will have to answer for and be accountable for his own sins (unless he has them paid for of course, enter spotless lamb). Praise Jesus.
He definitely stopped having an intellectual conversation when he kept saying that you can’t reconcile Ezekiel 18 with the New Testament after Ray did just that. Thank you Ray for your faithfulness and everyone continue to pray for this man.
"Since man's mind is his basic tool of survival , his means of gaining knowledge to guide his actions---the basic condition he requires is the freedom to think and to act according to his rational judgment." -Ayn Rand-
Hi Brad - thanks for having this conversation and being willing to share it with TH-cam. About Ezekiel 18 - notice the verses at the end: “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways,” says the Lord God. “Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin. Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God. “Therefore turn and live!” Notice it refers to the getting of a new heart and a new spirit. Look at how it relates to Jeremiah 31, which speaks of the new covenant in which this is possible. "I will put my law in their minds, and write it on their hearts." This is a Messianic passage. If you read through the gospels through the lens of the Messiah telling you how the new covenant will be instituted, it makes much more sense. He is telling you how he fulfills the law and has authority over it. He is telling you how no one is righteous, but yet a righteous man will stand before God. It doesn't make sense unless you understand we have his righteousness by faith. I've even listened to an anti-missionary complain that Jesus said, love the Lord your God with all your mind, and "minds" is not in the passage in the Torah. But thats exactly what God said the new covenant would be! It would be so internalized, we love with all of our thoughts. Jesus knew his scriptures very well. Think on Jeremiah 23:5-6 where God says he will raise up a branch if David and his name will be the Lord our righteousness. How can a man be our righteousness unless he confers his righteousness into us? How can he be righteous unless he is God and without sin? He does this willingly and without coersion.
@@RobMcTaggart you're welcome. If you read Ezekiel 18, and Jeremiah 31 and the sermon on the Mount all together, you can see the connection in a new way even better than I explained. At least that happened for me. I didn't immerse myself in OT prophets by reading them as whole books until recently. We take the new covenant for granted but Jesus takes what was before in the law and makes it new by exposing the heart and thoughts. This is what the prophets are saying will happen.
Brad, I’m praying for you today. Thank you so much for listening & your thoughtful comments. Praying that Yahweh will lift the veil , so you can see. May God bless you richly today Brad ✡️✝️💙🇮🇱
I figured I would come here to ask for prayer. Yesterday morning I witnessed to my first Muslim. Please, please keep Mariam in prayer.

Please keep her in prayer.

How can any person think they can keep all of those laws and statutes? That is pride talking. I pray for this young man, that the Holy Spirit will reveal Truth to him.
@@reneekroyer5104 Yes, there is no way one can keep the whole law without offense. They can’t even offer up sacrifices for their temporary covering anymore, without the temple. But we know the temple and animal sacrifices is no longer needed, bc of Jesus.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me? ( No, it's a period.) Pride in what? Didn't Paul say, if we're going to boast let us boast about our G-d. I agree with him and all the rabbis about human sacrifices being an abomination. That being said there needed to be a very special Issac/ a very special lamb for us to take hold of. What in the world would make you think that this special lamb would say I'm here it's all good, don't worry about following anything, just keep your eyes on me and forget anything else. Yeshua said Matthew 5:17-20. Are you going to nullify this just like pharissism has done away with Isaiah 53's meaning saying that the tzaroah (arm, lamb shank Isaiah 40:10) means Israel and not somebody special coming from Israel. Our King is a homogeneous entity not a polygamous entity. They are always in agreement. The first and greatest commandment Deuteronomy 6:4-9. Yeshua is the one, the only , Ha Shem personified. Hebrews 10:16-31. Please keep seeking for HIM. Shalom Alechem.
@@jenncasiano5489 Aleichem shalom. The law we live under now is the Law of Christ, also called the law of liberty, not the Law of Moshe. If you place yourself under the law of Moshe, you have made grace void. “For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by ABOLISHING the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace” Eph 2:14,15 “For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” Gal 3:10 “Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slaveg nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.” Gal 3:23-29 Jesus sets forth the law of faith we are now to live under: Love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. When we do this we fulfill the Moral law, ten commandments. But the law 613 civil and ceremonial laws have been abolished (mitzvot). The purpose of law was to show people they could not keep it. They needed a savior, the only One who could, Jesus. “For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are. But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, whether Jew or Gentiles.” Rom 3:20-22
You have been taught that trying to obey and keep Gods laws is prideful. That is false. That is a doctrine of man which has come from the twisting of Paul’s letters just like Peter warned people would do. See 2 Peter 3:16-17 Jesus himself said, “do not think that I came to abolish the law, I came to fulfill it for until heaven and earth pass away not one jot or tittle will pass until all is accomplished “ BTW Heaven and earth are still here. “If u love me KEEP my commandments” said Jesus. Jesus warned saying,” you make void the commandments of God through your traditions“ well it has become a tradition to say you can’t keep the commands of God thereby making them void. Read Luke 1:6 where Zacharias and Elizabeth kept all the commands of God blameless! Our Christian leaders are deceived and teaching wrongly. John said his commandments are not burdensome.. I could go on with scriptures all night long to prove that the law is perfect, just and holy. Read and meditate DEEPLY on Psalm 119 and you will wonder what happened.
@@Truemercy703 Its not that trying to obey and keep God’s laws are prideful, per se. It’s that we cannot keep them without one offense, (and to think we can is what is prideful) bc one offense is all it takes to separate us from God. Hence the necessity of blood sacrifices as a covering of sin. Jesus was the final once for all sacrifice that could take our sins away completely. The point is, we could not keep the law perfectly, only jesus could do that. Jesus was the one who fulfilled the law, not anyone else. Zacharias and Elizabeth were as blameless as one could be because they offered animal sacrifice for the covering of their sins, per law. But they still needed Jesus as their lamb sacrifice “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sin.” Heb 10:4. They needed the new covenant (Heb 8:13) same as all of us. The law was our guardian, until Christ came to fulfill it, die in our stead, taking upon him our sin debt and paying it in full…and rising from the dead, thereby conquering death. To think one can do what Jesus did by keeping the whole law and statutes without offense is pride. We are not justified by the law, but by faith in Christ for a good reason! Gal 3:24. And btw, this is how non Jewish people, Gentiles, who did not have the law at all, could come to Jesus, Rom 9:30. The law is to be kept by faith in Jesus’ finished work, not by our own works (Rom 9:32), and it is the moral law that is written in our heart today by the Spirit, not the civil and ceremonial laws, per the epistle to the Hebrews. This is how Paul could say with absolute confidence “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Gal 5:14 We keep the moral law by doing this, because then we will not lie, steal, covet, etc. That is the essence of loving God with all our heart and soul and mind, and our neighbor as ourself. But even so, we are not perfect in this. Will you never tell a lie again? Hopefully not, but if so, you have the blood of Jesus for your covering. You cannot keep even the moral law without offending at some point. This is how the word of God also proclaims: “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.” Gal 5:1-6
Pray for Israel, and to that Jews to come to know the true Jesus. Father in Heaven, please give non-believers in these days dreams and visions of the truth of Jesus, that he is for the atonement of all of our sins and that they believe, come to you, and be saved. I also pray for protection and comfort for the innocents around the world who are suffering in conflict. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

"The only reason people who believe in Jesus and his miracles are not automatically classified as nuts is that we understand that they've heard these things described to them as being non-fiction since a very young age, and -- unlike the Santa Claus yarn -- their parents never disabused them of this, because those parents were similarly delusional. We also understand that the story dates from over 2000 years ago, perhaps even centuries before that, so the issue is not as obvious (I know, we're making excuses for ignorance here) as something like Scientology, which grew out of more recent fiction." -Anonymous-from an Objectivist forum

About the three things he listed and the first two things I believe around 5:50.... According to the Bible, in Matthew 5:17, Christ said, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them," meaning he did not come to destroy the existing laws but to completely embody and live out their true meaning and purpose
Wonderful conversation! Praying for you, Brad. 🙏 Jesus speaking to the Jews: “For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.” John 10:17-18
I admire Brad's strong faith in Yahweh, and his strong defense of His nature and character! He scored a strong point when he observed that no man will die for the sins of another, and that God does not repent, change His mind, or turn back. I worked on that off and on overnight and this morning, and came up with a couple of points, one weaker, one stronger. The weaker point is that no man will die for the sins of another, in the sense that God will not hold one man accountable for another. And, since there is no man who does not sin, as Solomon said during the temple dedication, no man CAN die for the sins of another because each man has HIS OWN debt to pay. But, in response, hypothetically if there WAS a sinless man, that man might be allowed VOLUNTARILY to assume the debt owed by another. That's the weaker point, because it's not explicitly stated anywhere. The stronger point, I think, is that I can't think of anywhere that says GOD can't choose to bear the penalty of someone's sin. Nor does anything seem to preclude God taking on human form for a time, as Jesus claimed to have done and we believe. There are numerous places where God declares Himself to be the sole and exclusive Savior. And in Zechariah, He says "they will look upon ME, the one they have pierced." So the whole issue boils down to whether Jesus was (1) sinless as He claimed to be and (2) God as He claimed to be, and proved by His resurrection. I hope Brad IS still reading these comments, or at least that he and Ray are still in touch and Ray may be using some of our points in talking to him. Like my new acquaintance Martyn Iles, I love it when someone raises an issue I don't have an immediate response for. There are basically two responses to that: cave in and concede the point, or dig deeply into the Scriptures to find out how they answer the point, thereby enhancing your knowledge of them and strengthening your faith. I choose the latter and, so far, I have (unsurprisingly) not been disappointed. And I find I have to consult my mentors less and less to guide me to a resolution of the difficulty.
This was so edifying for me to listen to- it was interesting how Brad clung to his understanding without carrying it out to the conclusion of shedding the blood of an innocent animal - he didn’t seem to notice that under the law it is necessary- he was - hopefully not always be - as squirmy as any rebellious unbeliever - God bless him and Israel
Jesus is God and is perfect. He was the sacrificial lamb that kept all those statues and laws perfectly because all of humanity is sinful. Everyone is sinful. Jesus was not. Jesus the sinless lamb of God. Father Abba. Brad, I hope God finds you. Praying. 🙏🏼 🕊️Seek Him with all your heart, mind, and soul. ♥️
Where God has blinded, only He can give sight. He has been giving sight to those who are willing to see. We must continue to pray for those without sight. 🙏
I've come to realize that there is a very important follow-up question to ask someone before spending significant follow-up time with them. The first question is, "If you die today, where would you go?" The follow-up question, "Do you desire to know the truth?" The truth will set you free. John 8:31-32

God was definitely speaking to him through Ray. In the Holy Scriptures God says: "I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn." (Zechariah.12: 10) Listen what Messiah Himself said: "You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life. I do not receive honor from men. But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you. I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God? Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you-Moses, in whom you trust. For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?" (Yochanan ["John"] 5: 39-47) Exactly!
The Hebrew scriptures most definitely speaks of the afterlife, and the amazing thing is, many of the following verse are echoed in the New Testament: "He will swallow up death forever.

"Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the dead" Isaiah 26:19. "Many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting disgrace" Daniel 12:2. "And as they still went on and talked, behold, chariots of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven" 2 Kings 2:11. "Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it" Ecclesiastes 12:7. “The Lord kills and makes alive; He brings down to Sheol and raises up" 1 Samuel 2:6. “What is this you have done?” his servants asked. 'While the child was alive, you fasted and wept, but when he died, you got up and ate.' David answered, 'While the child was alive, I fasted and wept, for I said, ‘Who knows? The LORD may be gracious to me and let him live.’ But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me'" 2 Samuel 12:21-23. “I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. Where, O death, are your plagues?

Brad quoted in the Torah, "You cannot assume the responsibility of the sins of another. However, what gets overlooked is that Jesus was not born of the fallen seed of Adam. Anyone born of the corruptible seed cannot take upon himself the sins of others. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit. "He who knew no sin became sin for us, so that we could become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus."
The Jews are described in the Bible as "stiff necked", something this young man fits well! The Bible also says theres a veil over the eyes of the Jews, something that is the process of being lifted as we speak described in Ezekiel 37! The book of Revelation says the veil will be finally lifted at the end with the remaining Jews crying out "like a father for a son" for their Messiah to save them when they see Jesus coming in the clouds! They denied Jesus the first time, have been scattered through out the world as a result. Their in the process of coming home and recognizing The God they walked away from! There are already many miracles in the current war, none greater than the two overwhelming missile attacks by Iran with little or no damage! Soon Ezekiel 38 will occur and they'll be no doubt that God saved them! Unfortunately, this young man's and Jewish teachings think the coming anti-christ will fit their pre-conceived notions he talks about in this video. One thing is for sure: Ray gave him the gospel straight and now this man is held accountable for receiving that info! Pray he gets curious and NOW reads the Bible thru a new set of eyes! Jesus said: "Let those with eyes see, and those with ears hear!" Pray for him!
The word "god" (theos in Greek) is used in John 10:34 by Jesus as he quotes Psalm 82:6. It implies rulers. That's what Yahweh is saying in verse 8. He's describing the Lordship of Jesus (who is elsewhere in Scripture described as "HEIR"). Now, what about these verses in Hebrews 1? Verse 2: "(God has) spoken to us through his son" Verse 3: "(His son) sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high" Verse 4: "He (Jesus) has BY INHERITANCE obtained..." Verse 5: "You are my son" "I will be a father to him and he will be a son to me" Verse 9: "your God...anointing you". [Just as Jesus says "MY GOD" in John 20:17 and several times in Revelation chapter 3].

God says He will not share His glory with anyone, yet Jesus has his glory: “I am the LORD: that is my name and my glory. I will not give my glory to another, neither my praise to graven images.” Isa 42:8 “…for how shall my name be polluted? And i will not give my glory to another.” Isa 48:11 “Who being the radiance of God’s glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power when He had by Himself purged our sins and sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on High.” Heb 1:3 “Thus says the LORD, the King and Redeemer of Israel, the LORD of Hosts: "I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God but Me.” Isa 44:6 Jesus: “I am the first and i am the last.” Rev 1:18 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Gen 1:1 In reference to Jesus: “All things were made by him, and without him nothing was made that was made.” John 1:3 “I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.” Jer 17:10 Jesus says: “I am he which searches the reigns and hearts, and I will give to every one of you according to your works.” Rev 2:23 There’s so much more, scripture upon scripture that shows Jesus is God in the flesh, Emmanuel.
@@leenieledejo6849 And in Revelation Jesus claims to be the Alpha and the Omega since he does all of the judging (Alpha and Omega is uniquely reserved to God almighty. It means uncreated and unending), Isaiah calls him mighty God and everlasting Father.

The people of this time would have understood this to mean Jesus is God, and in fact the Jews understood he was claiming to be God when he said "before Abraham was I AM" which is why they picked up rocks to stone him. Yahweh means "I AM". So he was claiming to be Yahweh. And to call Jesus Lord IS to call him God. Not just ruler, but God almighty. Yahweh. See Psalms 100:3. To call Jesus the LORD is to call him GOD. Every serious biblical scholar would agree that the Jews would have understood it this way. But yes there are different persons in the trinity, and the Father has more authority than the Son. Just like a husband has more authority than his wife, yet is still equally valuable and of the same kind. They have different roles.

A sinner can't pay the price for eternal life for another person because all of us have our own sin debt. Jesus isn't a sinner, so he COULD and did pay the price.
God forbade vicarious atonement. The OT is quite clear how sin is forgiven. No “redeemer “ was necessary. Christian theology is nonsensical.
@@cshaw9683On the contrary, the OT is quite clear as to WHY a redeemer WAS necessary.
@@cshaw9683Then why were sacrifices required in the OT to atone for sin? This, my friend, is the definition of vicarious atonement.

Brad if you're reading through the comments - thank you for listening to Ray - God bless you brother
@@ResponseGuy78Jewish friend this was an interesting discussion. Ray asked a good question, are your sins forgiven, are you in a right relationship with G-d? Or do you believe obeying rules and rituals is what please G-d? It's apparent today's Judaism is not the same as it was in Moses' and the prophet's day. Today, "Torah observant" simply means following rabbinic rules. So why was it that in Moses' day it meant repentance and by faith sacrificing substitutionary offerings to atone for sins (Leviticus 17:11, Genesis 15:6 & Habakkuk 2:4)? This could only have been fulfilled in Yeshua the ultimate sacrifice for sin (Isaiah 53:5 and Proverbs 30:4) who came as prophesied before the second temple was destroyed (Daniel 9:26). Why is it that the rabbis made us all think that rules and traditions invented by them, is Moses' law? It is seems that Moses and rabbinic law have nothing to do with one another. "Oral law" was never given by G-d on Mt Sinai but rather seems to be a rabbinic response to Yeshua. It turns out the oral law is an urban legend sadly believed as truth by many Jews today that will not make you right with God.

When Jesus cried out "My God, My God why have You forsaken Me?", it was also a fulfillment of the prophecy in Isaiah 54:8 -- "In overflowing wrath I hid My face from You." Somehow I believe that was the most painful part of the Crucifixion for Jesus!
You're right!
Also, when Jesus cried "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" he was quoting Psalm 22: 1. They read it in this video at 16: 30. This Psalm is fascinating because the Psalmist writes about the crucifixion from the Messiah's perspective.
Psalm 22 continues:
"Dogs surround me,
a pack of villains encircles me;
they pierce my hands and my feet.
All my bones are on display;
people stare and gloat over me.
They divide my clothes among them
and cast lots for my garment." (Psalm 22: 16-18, NIV).
This was literally fulfilled when the Roman soldiers drove nails through Jesus' hands and feet, leaving him hanging on the cross while they gambled over his clothes. Psalm 22 predicted the Messiah would be killed in a humiliating way, with people gloating over him, and with his bones exposed by the awkward position he was left hanging in.
Psalm 22 also predicted the Messiah would be resurrected and highly rewarded. In vv. 19-21, the Psalmist asks God to be near him and deliver his life from the Gentiles who were killing him. Then in vv. 22-24 the Psalmist leads G-d's people in praise because G-d did not despise him but listened to his prayer. This could not happen unless the Messiah was raised back to life first.
The rest of the Psalm praises the Lord, saying "They [i.e. future generations of G-d's redeemed people] will proclaim his righteousness, declaring to a people yet unborn: He has done it!" (Psalm 22: 31). This is happening today, with G-d's people praising him with gladness for what He has done.

Thank you forever!!!
@@DaveGIS123was Jesus talking to himself?
Respectfully, I disagree that this verse is about Yeshua, it's about Israel.
Isaiah 54:8
"For YHVH has called you, *like a wife forsaken* and grieved in spirit, even *like a wife of one's youth when she is rejected,"* says your God. "For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I will *gather you.* In an outburst of anger I hid My face from you for a moment, but with everlasting lovingkindness I will have compassion on you," Says YHVH your Redeemer."
Israel was rejected like a wife but will be forgiven and shown compassion. Isaiah 54 says it is 'YHVH your redeemer' speaking. Who is 'YHVH your redeemer'? *It's Yeshua.*
Isaiah 54:5
"For your husband is your Maker, Whose name is YHVH of hosts; *and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel,* Who is called the God of all the earth."
The Holy One of Israel is Yeshua and is their Redeemer. (His redeemer is YHVH of Hosts). It's YHVH _their Redeemer_ (Yeshua) who says *He* hid *His* face _from her_ for a moment.
We also know that YHVH of Hosts (Yeshua's Redeemer) did not forsake Yeshua! It's in the bottom of Psalm 22!
Psalm 22:24
"For He has *not* despised *nor* scorned the suffering of the afflicted; *_nor has He hidden His face from him;_* but when he cried to Him for help, *He heard!"*
Yeshua was not forsaken by the Father. When he cried out to the Father, he was heard, *and not forsaken.*
God bless
It was equally painful for His Father too.

Ray you are a gift to us. Thank you for your teachings.
Hi Brad - thanks for having this conversation and being willing to share it with TH-cam. About Ezekiel 18 - notice the verses at the end: “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways,” says the Lord God. “Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin. Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God. “Therefore turn and live!”
Notice it refers to the getting of a new heart and a new spirit. Look at how it relates to Jeremiah 31, which speaks of the new covenant in which this is possible. "I will put my law in their minds, and write it on their hearts." This is a Messianic passage. If you read through the gospels through the lens of the Messiah telling you how the new covenant will be instituted, it makes much more sense. He is telling you how he fulfills the law and has authority over it. He is telling you how no one is righteous, but yet a righteous man will stand before God. It doesn't make sense unless you understand we have his righteousness by faith. I've even listened to an anti-missionary complain that Jesus said, love the Lord your God with all your mind, and "minds" is not in the passage in the Torah. But thats exactly what God said the new covenant would be! It would be so internalized, we love with all of our thoughts. Jesus knew his scriptures very well. Think on Jeremiah 23:5-6 where God says he will raise up a branch if David and his name will be the Lord our righteousness. How can a man be our righteousness unless he confers his righteousness into us? How can he be righteous unless he is God and without sin? He does this willingly and without coersion.
I really appreciate this amazing overview. Thank you.
@@RobMcTaggart you're welcome. If you read Ezekiel 18, and Jeremiah 31 and the sermon on the Mount all together, you can see the connection in a new way even better than I explained. At least that happened for me. I didn't immerse myself in OT prophets by reading them as whole books until recently. We take the new covenant for granted but Jesus takes what was before in the law and makes it new by exposing the heart and thoughts. This is what the prophets are saying will happen.
Brad, I’m praying for you today. Thank you so much for listening & your thoughtful comments. Praying that Yahweh will lift the veil , so you can see. May God bless you richly today Brad ✡️✝️💙🇮🇱

How can any person think they can keep all of those laws and statutes? That is pride talking. I pray for this young man, that the Holy Spirit will reveal Truth to him.
@@reneekroyer5104 Yes, there is no way one can keep the whole law without offense. They can’t even offer up sacrifices for their temporary covering anymore, without the temple. But we know the temple and animal sacrifices is no longer needed, bc of Jesus.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me? ( No, it's a period.) Pride in what? Didn't Paul say, if we're going to boast let us boast about our G-d. I agree with him and all the rabbis about human sacrifices being an abomination. That being said there needed to be a very special Issac/ a very special lamb for us to take hold of. What in the world would make you think that this special lamb would say I'm here it's all good, don't worry about following anything, just keep your eyes on me and forget anything else. Yeshua said Matthew 5:17-20. Are you going to nullify this just like pharissism has done away with Isaiah 53's meaning saying that the tzaroah (arm, lamb shank Isaiah 40:10) means Israel and not somebody special coming from Israel. Our King is a homogeneous entity not a polygamous entity. They are always in agreement. The first and greatest commandment Deuteronomy 6:4-9. Yeshua is the one, the only , Ha Shem personified. Hebrews 10:16-31. Please keep seeking for HIM. Shalom Alechem.
@@jenncasiano5489 Aleichem shalom. The law we live under now is the Law of Christ, also called the law of liberty, not the Law of Moshe. If you place yourself under the law of Moshe, you have made grace void.
“For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by ABOLISHING the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace” Eph 2:14,15
“For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” Gal 3:10
“Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slaveg nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.” Gal 3:23-29
Jesus sets forth the law of faith we are now to live under: Love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. When we do this we fulfill the Moral law, ten commandments. But the law 613 civil and ceremonial laws have been abolished (mitzvot).
The purpose of law was to show people they could not keep it. They needed a savior, the only One who could, Jesus.
“For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are. But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, whether Jew or Gentiles.” Rom 3:20-22
You have been taught that trying to obey and keep Gods laws is prideful. That is false. That is a doctrine of man which has come from the twisting of Paul’s letters just like Peter warned people would do. See 2 Peter 3:16-17 Jesus himself said, “do not think that I came to abolish the law, I came to fulfill it for until heaven and earth pass away not one jot or tittle will pass until all is accomplished “ BTW Heaven and earth are still here. “If u love me KEEP my commandments” said Jesus.
Jesus warned saying,” you make void the commandments of God through your traditions“ well it has become a tradition to say you can’t keep the commands of God thereby making them void.
Read Luke 1:6 where Zacharias and Elizabeth kept all the commands of God blameless! Our Christian leaders are deceived and teaching wrongly. John said his commandments are not burdensome.. I could go on with scriptures all night long to prove that the law is perfect, just and holy. Read and meditate DEEPLY on Psalm 119 and you will wonder what happened.
@@Truemercy703 Its not that trying to obey and keep God’s laws are prideful, per se. It’s that we cannot keep them without one offense, (and to think we can is what is prideful) bc one offense is all it takes to separate us from God. Hence the necessity of blood sacrifices as a covering of sin. Jesus was the final once for all sacrifice that could take our sins away completely. The point is, we could not keep the law perfectly, only jesus could do that. Jesus was the one who fulfilled the law, not anyone else. Zacharias and Elizabeth were as blameless as one could be because they offered animal sacrifice for the covering of their sins, per law. But they still needed Jesus as their lamb sacrifice “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sin.” Heb 10:4. They needed the new covenant (Heb 8:13) same as all of us. The law was our guardian, until Christ came to fulfill it, die in our stead, taking upon him our sin debt and paying it in full…and rising from the dead, thereby conquering death.
To think one can do what Jesus did by keeping the whole law and statutes without offense is pride. We are not justified by the law, but by faith in Christ for a good reason! Gal 3:24. And btw, this is how non Jewish people, Gentiles, who did not have the law at all, could come to Jesus, Rom 9:30.
The law is to be kept by faith in Jesus’ finished work, not by our own works (Rom 9:32), and it is the moral law that is written in our heart today by the Spirit, not the civil and ceremonial laws, per the epistle to the Hebrews. This is how Paul could say with absolute confidence “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Gal 5:14
We keep the moral law by doing this, because then we will not lie, steal, covet, etc. That is the essence of loving God with all our heart and soul and mind, and our neighbor as ourself. But even so, we are not perfect in this. Will you never tell a lie again? Hopefully not, but if so, you have the blood of Jesus for your covering. You cannot keep even the moral law without offending at some point.
This is how the word of God also proclaims: “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.” Gal 5:1-6
Pray for Israel, and to that Jews to come to know the true Jesus. Father in Heaven, please give non-believers in these days dreams and visions of the truth of Jesus, that he is for the atonement of all of our sins and that they believe, come to you, and be saved. I also pray for protection and comfort for the innocents around the world who are suffering in conflict. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
Amen, in full agreement, in Jesus’ almighty name! Amen again!

Tanakh says the punishment for someone's sins can't be put on another. It does not say that someone cannot take that punishment voluntarily.
Exactly, because mere men are imperfect (SIN). The wages of Sin is DEATH, and Hashem in his infinite wisdom provide someone PURE, UNBLEMISHED, AND SINLESS Yeshuah.
Then why are there generational curses by God on families. Up to 4 generations. What about that then if others cant take those sins.
See Ezekiel 18:!-4, 14-20. No generational curses!@@dannymack9636
They were done away with later. Generational curses still happen, because those people don’t come to Jesus to have them broken.
@@philipmitchener28 so Katkanning is talking rubbish regarding sins being carried on, generational cursed by God exactly tells us this guy is talking rubbish. But your right about turning to God though to get things fixed, however he's not fixing anything I've asked for from him, so I dont ask any more. I still love God though.

Isaiah chapter 53 is one of the most powerful things you can share with a Jewish person!
Jesus wasn't just HUMAN, He was 100% GOD and 100% HUMAN.
YES!!! Amen!!!!
"The only reason people who believe in Jesus and his miracles are not automatically classified as nuts is that we understand that they've heard these things described to them as being non-fiction since a very young age, and -- unlike the Santa Claus yarn -- their parents never disabused them of this, because those parents were similarly delusional. We also understand that the story dates from over 2000 years ago, perhaps even centuries before that, so the issue is not as obvious (I know, we're making excuses for ignorance here) as something like Scientology, which grew out of more recent fiction."

According to the Bible, in Matthew 5:17, Christ said, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them," meaning he did not come to destroy the existing laws but to completely embody and live out their true meaning and purpose

Jesus speaking to the Jews:
“For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again.
No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”
John 10:17-18
Repentance does NOT just mean saying "im sorry" for sinning.. it means turning from your sin, to sin no more. No going back
Good, eloquent, riveting and wonderful discussion.

"Just as man's physical survival depends on his own effort, so does his psychological survival."
-Ayn Rand-
I admire Brad's strong faith in Yahweh, and his strong defense of His nature and character! He scored a strong point when he observed that no man will die for the sins of another, and that God does not repent, change His mind, or turn back. I worked on that off and on overnight and this morning, and came up with a couple of points, one weaker, one stronger. The weaker point is that no man will die for the sins of another, in the sense that God will not hold one man accountable for another. And, since there is no man who does not sin, as Solomon said during the temple dedication, no man CAN die for the sins of another because each man has HIS OWN debt to pay. But, in response, hypothetically if there WAS a sinless man, that man might be allowed VOLUNTARILY to assume the debt owed by another. That's the weaker point, because it's not explicitly stated anywhere.
The stronger point, I think, is that I can't think of anywhere that says GOD can't choose to bear the penalty of someone's sin. Nor does anything seem to preclude God taking on human form for a time, as Jesus claimed to have done and we believe. There are numerous places where God declares Himself to be the sole and exclusive Savior. And in Zechariah, He says "they will look upon ME, the one they have pierced." So the whole issue boils down to whether Jesus was (1) sinless as He claimed to be and (2) God as He claimed to be, and proved by His resurrection. I hope Brad IS still reading these comments, or at least that he and Ray are still in touch and Ray may be using some of our points in talking to him.
Like my new acquaintance Martyn Iles, I love it when someone raises an issue I don't have an immediate response for. There are basically two responses to that: cave in and concede the point, or dig deeply into the Scriptures to find out how they answer the point, thereby enhancing your knowledge of them and strengthening your faith. I choose the latter and, so far, I have (unsurprisingly) not been disappointed. And I find I have to consult my mentors less and less to guide me to a resolution of the difficulty.
Brad, you are awesome! Respect you so much for the civil conversation! Great questions. Hope you do this again.
This was so edifying for me to listen to- it was interesting how Brad clung to his understanding without carrying it out to the conclusion of shedding the blood of an innocent animal - he didn’t seem to notice that under the law it is necessary- he was - hopefully not always be - as squirmy as any rebellious unbeliever - God bless him and Israel
Jesus is God and is perfect. He was the sacrificial lamb that kept all those statues and laws perfectly because all of humanity is sinful. Everyone is sinful. Jesus was not.
Jesus the sinless lamb of God. Father Abba.
Brad, I hope God finds you. Praying. 🙏🏼 🕊️Seek Him with all your heart, mind, and soul. ♥️

I've come to realize that there is a very important follow-up question to ask someone before spending significant follow-up time with them.

Heavenly Father,
We come before You with humble hearts, seeking Your wisdom and guidance. In a world filled with confusion and unbelief, we ask for Your light to shine brightly upon us. Father, we know that the adversary seeks to deceive and lead us away from Your truth, but we stand firm in the power of Your Word.
Lord, we thank You for the precious gift of being born from above, for the indwelling of Your Holy Spirit that guides us into all truth. We pray that this truth would take deep root in our hearts, dispelling any doubts and confusion. Fill us with a clear understanding of Your Word, that we may walk in the fullness of Your promises.
Father, we ask that the fruit of the Spirit would be evident in our lives-love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. May these fruits be a testimony to the transformation You have worked in us, drawing others to the truth of Your New Covenant.
Lord, strengthen us to stand against the wiles of the adversary, keeping our minds and hearts focused on You. May we always remember that greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. We trust in Your power to conquer unbelief and confusion, knowing that Your truth sets us free.
In Jesus' name, we pray,
Amen❤️

God was definitely speaking to him through Ray. In the Holy Scriptures God says: "I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn." (Zechariah.12: 10) Listen what Messiah Himself said: "You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life. I do not receive honor from men. But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you. I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God? Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you-Moses, in whom you trust. For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?" (Yochanan ["John"] 5: 39-47) Exactly!

The Hebrew scriptures most definitely speaks of the afterlife, and the amazing thing is, many of the following verse are echoed in the New Testament:
"He will swallow up death forever. Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces" Isaiah 25:8.
"But God will redeem my life from the grave; he will surely take me to himself" Psalm 49:15.
"Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the dead" Isaiah 26:19.
"Many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting disgrace" Daniel 12:2.
"And as they still went on and talked, behold, chariots of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven" 2 Kings 2:11.
"Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it" Ecclesiastes 12:7.
“The Lord kills and makes alive; He brings down to Sheol and raises up" 1 Samuel 2:6.
“What is this you have done?” his servants asked. 'While the child was alive, you fasted and wept, but when he died, you got up and ate.' David answered, 'While the child was alive, I fasted and wept, for I said, ‘Who knows? The LORD may be gracious to me and let him live.’ But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me'" 2 Samuel 12:21-23.
“I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. Where, O death, are your plagues? Where, O grave, is your destruction?” Hosea 13:14.
"For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. They will be protected forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off; the righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever" Psalm 37:28-29.
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil” Psalm 23:4.
“And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever" Psalm 23:6.

Brad quoted in the Torah, "You cannot assume the responsibility of the sins of another. However, what gets overlooked is that Jesus was not born of the fallen seed of Adam. Anyone born of the corruptible seed cannot take upon himself the sins of others.
Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit. "He who knew no sin became sin for us, so that we could become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus."

The Jews are described in the Bible as "stiff necked", something this young man fits well! The Bible also says theres a veil over the eyes of the Jews, something that is the process of being lifted as we speak described in Ezekiel 37! The book of Revelation says the veil will be finally lifted at the end with the remaining Jews crying out "like a father for a son" for their Messiah to save them when they see Jesus coming in the clouds! They denied Jesus the first time, have been scattered through out the world as a result. Their in the process of coming home and recognizing The God they walked away from! There are already many miracles in the current war, none greater than the two overwhelming missile attacks by Iran with little or no damage! Soon Ezekiel 38 will occur and they'll be no doubt that God saved them! Unfortunately, this young man's and Jewish teachings think the coming anti-christ will fit their pre-conceived notions he talks about in this video. One thing is for sure: Ray gave him the gospel straight and now this man is held accountable for receiving that info! Pray he gets curious and NOW reads the Bible thru a new set of eyes! Jesus said: "Let those with eyes see, and those with ears hear!" Pray for him!

The Father calls the Son God in Hebrews 1:8 as well.
The word "god" (theos in Greek) is used in John 10:34 by Jesus as he quotes Psalm 82:6.
It implies rulers.
That's what Yahweh is saying in verse 8.
He's describing the Lordship of Jesus (who is elsewhere in Scripture described as "HEIR").
Now, what about these verses in Hebrews 1?
Verse 2: "(God has) spoken to us through his son"
Verse 3: "(His son) sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high"
Verse 4: "He (Jesus) has BY INHERITANCE obtained..."
Verse 5: "You are my son"
"I will be a father to him and he will be a son to me"
Verse 9: "your God...anointing you".
[Just as Jesus says "MY GOD" in John 20:17 and several times in Revelation chapter 3].
