Jesus (Yeshua) as The Only Begotten Son of Almighty God (YHWH)
Here is some interesting and informative information by another scholar, Ronald, on our savior Jesus (Yeshua) Christ that all can learn from.
It was when Jesus was begotten of God's holy spirit into the world (Matthew
1:20), but not of the world (John 8:23), that Jesus was the firstborn of the
human "new" creation. His was a new human creation in that he was not born of
the old "whole creation" -- whole human creation -- that is now crooked,
subjected to futility, in bondage of corruption [that which is not straight],
groaning and travailing in pain as a result of Adam's sin. -- Ecclesiastes
1:2,14,15; 7:13; 12:8; Romans 8:19-22.
If Jesus had been born of this world, of this crooked generation through Adam
(Philippians 2:15), he would have been in the same boat as everyone else, and
could not have been made straight, made incorrupt, justified, not even by
keeping the Law, for he would have been like everyone else under the law, for
"by the works of the law, no flesh [having been made crooked] will be justified
[made straight, incorrupt] in his sight" (Romans 3:20); "a man is not justified
[made straight, incorrupt] by the works of the law" (Galatians 2:6); "no man is
justified [made straight, incorrupt] by the law before God" (Galatians 3:11);
"if there had been a law given which could make alive, most assuredly
righteousness would have been of the law." (Galatians 3:21); "For what the law
couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh [made sinful through Adam --
Romans 5:19], God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for
sin, condemned sin in the flesh." -- Romans 8:3.
Jesus, therefore, when begotten of the holy spirit as a human fetus, was indeed
of a new creation, not of the creation that Paul speaks of as the "whole
creation" which is now under a bondage of corruption, under subjection to
vanity/futility from which it is unable to free itself. The old human creation,
the whole creation that Paul speaks of in Roman 8:19-22, is now under that
bondage of corruption [a corrupted, crooked condition, a condition that is not
straight] that is in the world through Adam, from which it cannot free itself.
(Romans 5:12; 2 Peter 4:4) Thus, Jesus had to be a new human creation in the
womb of Mary, not under the present sun of crookedness and vanity (Ecclesiastes
1:14; 2:11,17; 3:16; 4:7), unrighteousness, unstraightness, through Adam, but
Jesus was born as though a new sun of righteousness, incorrupt, straight, just.
(Micah 4:2) Unlike Adam, however, Jesus brought his incorrupt life to a
condition of being incorruptible, thereby he brought life and incorruption
(righteousness, straighteness) to light by the good news of his obedience to his
God. -- 2 Timothy 1:10.
Nevertheless, Jesus suffered as though he were a sinner, "in the likeness of
sinful flesh" (Romans 8:3), "in the likeness of men" under the bondage as
slaves, that he might pay the wages of sin so that he might free mankind -- the
whole creation of Romans 8:22 -- now enslaved under that bondage. (Philippians
2:7,15; Romans 5:12-19; 6:23; 8:19-21) Again, this he could only do if he were
born outside of that bondage, else he would have been just like the rest of
mankind, unable to free himself from that bondage.
Jesus, however, sacrificed that incorrupt human life so as to pay the price, not
only for what Adam lost, but also for what Adam could have been had Adam proved
himself incorruptible. Jesus died once for all time, in the flesh, for sin. He
no longer has any need of that flesh, for it has served its purpose, for he came
in the flesh to sacrifice that flesh for mankind. Jesus gave his humanity -
including his body of flesh - as an offsetting price, which sacrifice he
formally presented as priest after his ascension. - 1 Timothy 2:5,6; Hebrews
8:4; 9:24-26; 10:10.
Jesus gave his blood in sacrifice.
Matthew 26:28 - for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out
for many for the remission of sins.
Mark 14:24 - He said to them, "This is my blood of the new covenant, which is
poured out for many.
Luke 22:20 - He took the cup in like manner after supper, saying, "This cup is
the new covenant in my blood, that which is poured out for you.
Acts 20:28 - Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy
Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God which he obtained
with the blood of his own Son. - Revised Standard Version.
Romans 5:9 - Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved
from God's wrath through him.
Ephesians 1:7 - in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the
forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.
However, what does blood represent? Jesus' human soul, which he also gave in
sacrifice.
Leviticus 17:11 - For the life [Hebrew, nephesh - soul] of the flesh is in the
blood.
Deuteronomy 12:23 - The blood is the life [Hebrew, nephesh - soul].
The human soul consists of the body made from the dust of the ground and the
neshamah, activated by spirit of life as received from God. - Genesis 2:7.
Yes, Jesus did sacrifice his human body:
Hebrews 10:10 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the
body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Hebrews 10:11 Every priest indeed stands day by day ministering and often
offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,
Hebrews 10:12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat
down on the right hand of God;
Hebrews 10:13 henceforth expecting until his enemies to be made the footstool of
his feet.
Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are
sanctified.
Luke 22:19 He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to
them, saying, "This is *my body which is given [as an offering in sacrifice to
God - Ephesians 5:2; Hebrews 9:14] for you*. Do this in memory of me."
Jesus sacrificed his flesh:
John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of
this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give is my flesh,
for the life of the world.
Jesus sacrificed his human soul (life):
Matthew 20:28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to
give his life [soul] as a ransom [price to offset] for many.
Isaiah 53:12 He *poured out his soul* to death, and was numbered with the
transgressors: yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the
transgressors.
He died; he was totally dead, ceased to be sentient, else there has been no
ransom. His body was given in sacrifice. (Hebrews 10:10; Luke 22:19) Jesus' soul
- his sentiency - was given in sacrifice (Ecclesiastes 9:5) and went into sheol,
where there is no work, device, knowledge or wisdom, and wherein one cannot give
thanks to, or praise to, Yahweh. (Isaiah 53:12; Matthew 20:28; Mark 10:45;
Ecclesiastes 9:10; Psalm 6:5; Isaiah 38:18) Jesus' human blood - which
represents his human soul/being (Leviticus 17:11; Deuteronomy 12:23) - was given
in sacrifice. (Mark 14:24; Acts 20:28; Hebrews 9:14) Thus his soul - his being -
as raised, made alive, from the oblivious condition of sheol was no longer
human, but spirit.
When he was raised from death, he was begotten, brought forth, from death, not
in the flesh (he had sacrificed his fleshly once for all time to pay the debt of
sin), but with a the glory of a celestial, spiritual, body (1 Corinthians
15:40,44), in the spirit (1 Peter 3:18), having the glory that he had with his
God before the world of mankind was made (John 17:5), yet exalted with greater
mightiness (theotes) bodily -- in his celestial body given in his resurrection.
-- Colossians 2:9.
Regarding Psalm 89:27: I will also appoint him my firstborn, The highest of the
kings of the earth. (World English)
David was given the honor of firstborn over the kings of the land due to Saul's
unfaithfulness, although Saul was the the actual one who held the position of
the firstborn -- the first one to appointed and brought forth -- as king over
Israel, since he was actually the first king of Israel.
David, however, being a type of Jesus, pictures Jesus, who is given the right of
the position of the first king brought forth as appointed by God. In this
appointment, Jesus replaces David as the firstborn of the land, being the
promised son of the man David as the shepherd and king of Israel. -- Matthew
2:6; Luke 1:32.
Psalm 89:27 could also be applied to Jesus antitypically as the firstborn king
in the kingdom in which others become joint-heirs with him (Romans 8:17;
Revelation 3:21), in that he is the firstborn -- the first one to be brought
forth -- of those kings. Jesus is actually the firstborn of these kings (he does
not receive this right from another), the first of these kings to be brought
forth, since he is the first to receive the highly exalted position. Having the
right of the first one to be actually brought forth as a such a king, he is thus
King of kings.
