Christian assertion: "God's Name is Jesus."

The Creator's Name is YHWH (Yahweh), not "Lord" or "God" which are merely titles; and His Son's Name is Yeshua which means "YHWH is Salvation" (see Matthew 1:1, 16, 21).

Exodus 3: 13 Moshe said to God, "Look, when I appear before the people of Isra'el and say to them, 'The God of your ancestors has sent me to you'; and they ask me, 'What is his name?' what am I to tell them?" 14 God said to Moshe, "Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh [I am/will be what I am/will be]," and added, "Here is what to say to the people of Isra'el: 'Ehyeh [I Am or I Will Be] has sent me to you.'" 15 God said further to Moshe, "Say this to the people of Isra'el: 'Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh [], the God of your fathers, the God of Avraham, the God of Yitz'chak and the God of Ya'akov, has sent me to you.'This is my name forever; this is how I am to be remembered generation after generation.

Christian assertion: The Law/Torah (God's original divine teaching/instruction) was only for "the Jews"....

No, it wasn't. Adam and Eve, to whom He gave His first rules weren't Jews, and neither were Cain and Abel who offered the first sin sacrifices. And Noah, who also was not a Jew, knew the difference between "clean and unclean" animals (Genesis 4:3-5) - yet they were all Torah observant!

There were no Jews until Jacob, from whom came the tribe of Judah. Our patriarchs are Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - none of whom were "Jews" (see Gen. 17; 25; 27 and 28; Matthew 1:2). The Tribe of Judah produced King David, and David's family produced Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) - and they actually were Jews.

Christian assertion: The Jews were God's Chosen but, due to their disobedience, they've been replaced by the church.

YHWH made Covenants with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They were His Chosen! Note, please, that Abraham and Jacob weren't "Jews." Next, YHWH made His NEW COVENANT with the Houses of Israel and Judah (Jeremiah 31:32); not with the Christians, Muslims, or anyone else....Through His grace and mercy, Gentiles are grafted in to the Olive Tree/Israel (Romans 11). And God told Israel: "I give you good instruction: Do not forsake my Torah" (Proverbs 4:2). Paul reiterated this when he said: Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law. (Romans 3:31)

The term "Jews" has become a universal and general term denoting anyone from Israel who believes in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The thing is, there were no "Jews" until Jacob, from whom came the tribe of Judah. The patriarchs - Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (see Gen. 17; 25; 27 and 28; Matthew 1:2) weren't "Jews," but they weren't goyim (gentiles/heathens/pagans) either, because they were Torah observant - meaning they obeyed God's "DOs" and "DON'Ts." (Everyone up until then did, including Cain and Abel who offered sin sacrifices, and Noah who knew the difference between "clean and unclean" - and they weren't "Jews"!) The Tribe of Judah (the Jews) produced King David, and David's family produced Messiah Yeshua (who Christians call Jesus).

If it hadn't been for God's CHOSEN being scattered into the nations (Ezekiel 36:19) who were ultimately referred to as "Jews," YHWH would have remained the best-kept secret of tiny, little Israel, and the rest of the world would still be writhing in Paganism. One cannot condemn those Jews who are not yet Believers in Messiah because God hasn't opened their spiritual eyes, yet. They are, however, Torah observant believers in YHWH, which brings them a lot closer to God than any Christian who ignores God's original divine teachings in favor of Sun-day worship and paganistic "holidays." Harsh words? Yes, but we are living in the end times as outlined in the Bible, and time is short. "Jew-bashing" (perpetrated by "white supremacists" and their ilk, is NOT the way to please God! The Bible tells us that anyone who goes up against them in any way will suffer His wrath:

Genesis 12: 3 "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."

Deuteronomy 7: 6 For you are a people set apart as holy for ADONAI your God. ADONAI your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his own unique treasure. 7 ADONAI didn't set his heart on you or choose you because you numbered more than any other people - on the contrary, you were the fewest of all peoples. 8 Rather, it was because ADONAI loved you, and because he wanted to keep the oath which he had sworn to your ancestors, that ADONAI brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from a life of slavery under the hand of Pharoah king of Egypt.

Christian assertion: Jesus came to proclaim the Gospel.

Actually, Yeshua came to proclaim the Kingdom of God:

Luke 4: 43 "But he (Yeshua) said, "I must preach the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent."

So did Paul:

Acts 28: 23. And they appointed him a day; and many assembled, and came to him at his lodgings. And he explained to them respecting the Kingdom of Elohim, testifying and persuading them concerning Y'shua, out of the Torah of Moshe, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

Check out Luke 10:25 and ask yourself: Did Yeshua "preach the Gospel" or point that person to "the cross" here? Read in context, you can see He referred the man to Torah.

Luke 10: 25. And behold a certain scribe arose to tempt him and said, "What teacher must I do to inherit life that is eternal?" 26. And Y'shua said to him, In Torah, how is it written? How do you read it? 27. And he answered and said to him, to love Master YHWH your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and your neighbor as yourself. (see Deuteronomy 6:5; Leviticus 19:18) 28. Y'shua said to him, You have said it correctly, do this and you will live.

Did Yeshua preach the Gospel or talk about "the cross" when another man asked him the same question?

Luke 18: 18. And one of the leaders asked him and said to him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit to life that is eternal. 19. Y'shua said to him, Why do you call me good? There is no one good except one Elohim. 20. Know the Commandments, you do not kill and do not commit adultery and do not steal and do not bear false witness, honor your father and your mother. 21. He said to him, "All these things I have kept them from my youth." 22. But when Y'shua heard these things, he said to him, One thing is lacking in you. Go sell everything that you have and give it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven, and come after me. 23. But when he heard these things he was sad, for he was very wealthy. 24. And when Y'shua saw that he felt sad, he said, How difficult it is for those who have wealth to enter into the Kingdom of Elohim! 25. Because it is easier for a rope that it enter through the eye of a needle than a rich man enter into the Kingdom of Elohim.

What did Aquila and Priscilla show a teacher who spoke eloquently in the synagogue. "The cross"? The "Gospel"? NO! They showed him the way of YHWH! Everything Yeshua did and said reflected back on the will and the way of YHWH!

Acts 18: 24. And a certain Jewish man from Alexandria named Apollos, who was trained to eloquence, and well taught in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus. 25. He had been instructed in the ways of Master YHWH, and was fervent in spirit; and he discoursed and taught fully respecting Y'shua, while yet he knew nothing except the immersion of Yochanan. 26. And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. And when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him to their house, and fully showed him the way of Master YHWH.

And what did Yeshua do when confronted and tempted by Satan (Matthew 4)? He quoted not Himself but from Torah - His Father's Divine Instructions!

Matthew 4: 1. Then Y'shua was taken by the Ruach haKodesh to the desert to be tempted by the accuser. 2. And he fasted forty days and forty nights and after which he hungered. 3. And approached he that was tempting and said to him "if you are the son of Elohim, say to these rocks become bread," 4. and he answered and said, It is written that the Son of man does not live by bread alone, but by all the Words1 that proceed from the mouth of YHWH. 5. Then the accuser 2 took him to the Set Apart city and raised him upon the edge of the temple3, 6. and said to him, "If you are the son of Elohim, cast yourself down for it is written that his Messengers he commands concerning you, and upon their hands they will bear you up that your foot should not strike upon a rock." 7. Y'shua said to him, Again it is written that you will not test Master YHWH your Elohim. 8. Again the accuser took him to (a) mountain that (was) very high and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, 9. and said to him, "These all I will give to you if you will fall (and) worship me." 10. Then Y'shua said to him Leave enemy, for it is written that you will worship Master YHWH your Elohim and Him alone you will serve. 11. Then the accuser left him alone and behold, Messengers approached and were ministering to him.

So, while Yeshua's death, burial, and resurrection are an important part of the Good News, it's not the whole story! God isn't just in the business of "saving" people; as Creator and law giver, He is in the business of teaching us how to be good subjects in His Kingdom to come! If "Jesus abolished Torah at the cross" then why was EVERY believer completely Torah observant for one hundred years after Yeshua's death, including the Apostle Paul who was "caught" being Torah observant 29 years after Yeshua's death (Acts 21:23-24)! Was Paul a hypocrite, saying one thing and doing another; or were his teachings, perhaps, misunderstood?

Christian assertion: Christians don't have to be Torah observant!

YHWH said that everyone who believes in Him must be Torah observant. He said it in FOUR different ways in the following scripture:

Numbers 15: 13 "'Everyone who is native-born must do these things in this way when he brings an offering made by fire as an aroma pleasing to the LORD. 14 For the generations to come, whenever an alien or anyone else living among you presents an offering made by fire as an aroma pleasing to the LORD, he must do exactly as you do. 15 The community is to have the same rules for you and for the alien living among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. You and the alien shall be the same before the LORD: 16 The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the alien living among you.'"

Christian assertion: Jesus abolished the Law.

MAN, not God, decided that God's original DIVINE teachings/instructions (His DO's and DON'Ts) were suddenly nullified at the cross. That makes no sense, because Yeshua was our Final SIN Sacrifice, not someone who came to abolish His Father's rules!

Messiah Yeshua taught us by personal Example how to please YHWH and be Torah obedient. ALL believers in Messiah Yeshua (and, consequently, YHWH) have to be Torah observant - and we are told we ALL will keep the Sabbath and the Feasts when He returns.

Yeshua (who has so far fulfilled the first FOUR of the SEVEN Biblical Feasts. He never authorized man to come up with their own "holy days." He kept the Seventh Day Sabbath (which a SIGN between God and man) and the Biblical Feasts EXACTLY as the Father commanded.

Exodus 31: 13 "Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: 'Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you."

Exodus 31: 16 "Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.'"

Isaiah 66: 22 "As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me," declares the LORD, "so will your name and descendants endure. 23 From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me," says the LORD. 24 "And they will go out and look upon the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind."

God is very adamant about Torah observance:

Ezekiel 20: 10 "So I took them out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness. 11 "I gave them My statutes and informed them of My ordinances, by which, if a man observes them, he will live. 12 "Also I gave them My sabbaths to be a sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

Yeshua, who was completely Torah observant, even said He did NOT come to abolish His Father's Torah:

Matthew 5: 17 Don't think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete. 18 Yes indeed! I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not so much as a yud or a stroke will pass from the Torah - not until everything that must happen has happened. 19 So whoever disobeys the least of these mitzvot (words/commands) and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever obeys them and so teaches will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness is far greater than that of the Torah-teachers and P'rushim, you will certainly not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Has everything happened that must happen? Have heaven and Earth passed away yet? Since when does the word "complete" (or "fulfill) mean "abolished"? Why would God abolish His own original divine teachings which He said were to last forever? Did Jesus come to make a liar out of YHWH, God the Father?

Please read Torah simplified.

For those who refuse to be Torah observant because they feel it is "inconvenient" or hard to do in an age where stores are open 24/7 and concentrate on pagan "holy days" such as Christmas and Easter, one has to pose the question: "Whom do you wish to worship, YHWH or Satan?" And who CARES what "the world" thinks! We cannot presume to be worshipping YHWH when our worship is filled with paganism. We either do it HIS way, or stop telling people we are worshiping Him....

Christian assertion: God is a Trinity!

There is no such thing as "Trinity"! You won't find "trinity" anywhere in the Bible, yet Christians insist "God is three Persons!"

YHWH is ONE - Echad - the plural form of one (as in one BUNCH of grapes, or one DOZEN eggs as opposed to one grape or one egg); He is not "several" beings and the Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit) is not a "person". (How could "the person of the Holy Spirit" get inside another person - it doesn't even make sense!) God can present Himself to us in whatever form He wishes and we have no right to suggest He is anything except what the Scriptures have revealed.

Here is a simple explanation of YHWH:

Imagine a fiber optics lamp with thousands of tiny tubes emanating light. Note that these tubes are connected to one single Base. YHWH can be likened to the Base of that lamp, which is the actual Power or Source. The little tubes are all a part of that Power because they're connected to the Base. Yeshua, the Son who came to be our Final SIN Sacrifice, can be likened to one of those tubes. As the ONLY "aspect" of God that ever had a Name, Yeshua was still only ONE aspect of YHWH, eternally connected to YHWH; and He was “YHWH in the Flesh” while He walked the Earth. That does not mean that while Yeshua walked the Earth, YHWH was no longer in charge of the universe; Yeshua isn’t the “Base” – YHWH is! The “Base” controls everything and everything is dependent upon that Base.

How YHWH chooses to reveal Himself to us is up to Him, but we cannot limit Him by insisting He is a "trinity" or "persons" because YHWH (God) is a Spirit; we cannot even look upon Him without dying. His Son Yeshua was here in HUMAN form (not to replace YHWH, but to walk out His Will) and to "put a face on God" (so to speak) and to show us how to worship and obey Him through Torah.

The Holy Spirit (Ruach haKodesh in Hebrew) the "still small voice that guides us" once we have accepted YHWH as our God and Yeshua as our Sin Sacrifice who was God in the Flesh. The Ruach is also known as bat kol, or "daughter of a voice." (For instance, when your parents die, their memory stays with you and will nudge you to remember not to touch that hot stove or you'll get burned, or not to tell a lie, or not to hurt animals, etc. The Ruach is "that small, still voice" from God that nudges you to know right from wrong, good from evil - according to God's Torah. The Ruach is not a "person" with a separate personality but, rather, the voice of YHWH speaking directly to us.)

YHWH has revealed Himself to us in MANY ways, including speaking to Moses through a "burning bush"; as "pillars of cloud and fire" to the Israelites in the desert for 40 years; as "a man" to Jacob when He broke Jacob's thigh (Gen. 32:24-32); "three men" to Abraham at the Oaks of Mamre; and He even talked through a donkey! So, to call Him a "trinity" or "persons" is like putting Him in a box to limit Him. The term "trinity" cannot be found in the Bible - anywhere; that is because YHWH never told us He was "three persons" in One! He is echad - which is Hebrew for the plural form of "one" such as "one DOZEN" eggs (as opposed to one egg), or "one BUNCH" of grapes, as opposed to one grape.

Yeshua was a man, sent by YHWH, who was born and then died. God cannot do either of those things. God "just is." The only reason Yeshua was "God in the Flesh" is because of His Divine Nature - that which caused Him to be perfect enough to be our Final SIN Sacrifice. Yeshua wasn't sent to replace YHWH or change His Divine Instructions (Torah) to mankind.

From the Aramaic English New Testament, with footnotes:

Matthew 28: 19. Go therefore make disciples of all nations, and immerse them in the name[1] of the Father and of the Son and of the Ruach haKodesh.

[1] Aramaic has "name" – singular – which does not support the traditional trinity theology. Ruach haKodesh is a title for YHWH, see Isaiah 63:1-11; Psalm 51:1-11. The Son has his Father’s Name within him and the Father keeps His people in His Name; John 17:11. See Immerser in Appendix.

1 Corinthians 4: 6. These things, my Brothers, I have stated concerning the person of myself and of Apollos,[1] for your sakes; that, in us, you might learn not to think (of men), above what is written; and that no one might exalt himself in comparison with his fellow, on account of any person.

[1] "Person", or in Aramaic parsopa, which can be translated also as “face” or “presence.” This is a critical term; had the Christian theology of "the Trinity" been correct, we would see this word used in connection with a "Godhead." However, this is never the case; nowhere is this found in all of the original NT. Instead, the word used is qnoma, which is defined as an occurrence of a nature, retaining the same core substance of that nature. As such, you may have three qnomeh, but only ONE divine nature. When we understand this, the relationship between Father and Son becomes understood more like the relationship of limbs of a body to the mind (Exodus 6:6, Isaiah 53:1). Limbs are directed according the will of the mind. The divine side of the Son is not separate from YHWH; "he" is the arm of YHWH, and the Word that YHWH directed (spoke) to create the universe.

You can glean some excellent information about the myth of the myth of the "trinity" from our colleague, Aramaic scholar and author Andrew Gabriel Roth who recently produced the Aramaic English New Testament. People tend to forget that YHWH has also revealed Himself as a burning bush, pillars of cloud and fire, three men at the Oaks of Mamre, and He even spoke through a donkey BEFORE Yeshua ever came onto the scene. That's more than just three emanations of God, if you choose to "get technical" about it.

Christian assertion: The King James Version is infallible and the ONLY Bible we should follow!

Bible versions are a matter of preference, but for those who like to insist that the King James is infallible and/or perfect, here are some eye-opening facts:

• Acts 12 is totally rendered useless because of King James' use of the word "Easter." There was no "Easter" prior to Yeshua's death! Furthermore, "Easter" is a man-made "holiday" complete with the lie/myth of an egg-laying rabbit that has nothing, whatsoever to do with the actual resurrection.
  
  Acts 12: 4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
  
  
• King James (in Leviticus 12:8, 15:29 and Numbers 6:10) erroneously mistranslated the SLANG word for "TURTLE DOVES" (as sin sacrifices) from the original Aramaic, using the word, "turtles" instead. The problem is "turtles" could NOT POSSIBLY be used as sin sacrifices because they're not kosher!
  
  Leviticus 12: 8 And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
  
  Leviticus 15: 29 And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
  
  Numbers 6: 10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Now here's a real kicker: Christians attempt to use to prove the Trinity through King James' version of I John 5:7-8 (show in the King James version below) - because it seems as though John was defining the Father, Son and Spirit as three separate beings in one. But a more careful look reveals something strange. All the other versions completely omit everything after the word "heaven" in verse 7. Here's the King James version:

I John 5: 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

Below is the the same scripture from the Aramaic English New Testament:, with footnote:

1 John 5: 6. This is he who came by the water and the blood. Y'shua the Mashiyach; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit testifies; because the Spirit is truth. 7. Verse 7 is nonexistent in the Eastern Peshitta 8. And there are three witnesses, the Spirit and the water, and the blood: and these three are in union.

FOOTNOTE to 1 John 5: Appended text: (For there are three that testify in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Ruach haKodesh: and these three are one.), which is why Murdock puts the brackets and adds: "This verse is not wanting in most MSS., and is omitted in the edit. London, 1826." The fact is that this line was inserted under the authority of Constantine to promote the Trinity doctrine. It does not exist in the Peshitta nor the oldest Greek manuscripts of Aleph, A, B and the Vulgate. Christo-Paganism which originated before Constantine taught that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are numerically three separate beings, but yet "all the same" is a blatant violation of the First and Second Commandments (see Sh'mot/Exodus 20:1-6).

So what's the big deal?

Obviously King James added the line! 1 John 5:7-8 according to NIV says in the footnote: "Late manuscripts of the Vulgate testify in heaven, the Father, the Word and Holy Spirit, and these three are one. And there are three that testify in earth--not found in any Greek manuscript before the sixteenth century."

This shows that BOTH verses are late additions. Verse 5:7 is an addition post-397 CE, after the Council of Carthage and 5:8 is so late as to be meaningless. This is true because trinity was never, and is not, an original Biblical doctrine. It was a formulation of Constantine, Eusebius and others. Both Aramaic scholar Andrew Gabriel Roth (AENT) and Dr. George M. Lamsa deal with it from the Aramaic side. The 1998 re-issue of his NT (not the 1940 one that Harper still sells) restored his original notes and he says in these places "Carried over from the King James Version."

King James apparently did the same thing with Acts 21:25 - take a look:

25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.

The Apostle Paul never wrote the words in red! The things that were written in bold typeface are Torah commands outlined in Exodus 20:3, Leviticus 7:26/17:2,22:8, and Deuteronomy 14:21; however, the phrase in in red seems to contradict YHWH's commands, suggesting Christians don't have to do them. This scripture should read, according to the Aramaic English New Testament translated from Aramaic into English by Andrew Gabriel Roth:

Acts 21: 25. "As to those of the Gentiles who have believed, we have written, that they should keep themselves from (an idol’s) sacrifice, and from sexual sin, and from what is strangled, and from blood."

Christian assertion: Jesus is God and He died for us!

Yes, Yeshua was YHWH who came in the Flesh. However, God cannot be born, nor can He die. Yeshua, the SON, did both. This SHOWS that He did not come as YHWH's replacement! Yet what made Him "YHWH in the Flesh" was the fact that He had a divine qnoma (Nature). You can view the relationship in John 5 as outlined in the Aramaic English New Testament (AENT) shown below:

Christian assertion: The Jews killed Jesus!

Really? Actually, our SIN killed Him. But, let's investigate WHO did what to whom. First, lets check Luke 23 which tells us: 27. "A multitude of people was coming after him, and women who were wailing and mourning for him."

Yeshua was talking about MANKIND, not just "the Jews." A "multitude" includes many and diverse people who were among the crowd that day. Yes, it was Jewish Pharisees who initiated His death, but Pilate had the power to say NO! - but he didn't. When they arrested Yeshua, it wasn't the Jews, but the Gentiles who spat upon and flogged Him. And WHO actually drove the nails into His hands? Gentiles!

Yeshua died for ALL who would believe on His shed blood. If He had NOT died, and the Jews had NOT been scattered into the world, then the world would NEVER have heard of YHWH or Yeshua! The world was full of Gentiles (the Hebrew word was GOYIM which originally meant pagans/heathens - those who were Torahless) who had made up their own gods until the WORD was introduced to them! Gentiles aren't "good" by nature anymore than the Jews are "good" by nature. MAN, in general, is born into a sinful word.

Torah wasn't just meant for "the Jews." It was meant for ANYONE who believes in YHWH, as shown in Numbers 15:13-16 where God says 4 times that those who believe in Him MUST do EXACTLY as the Torah observant Hebrews. He even says, "16 The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the alien living among you.'" (Some versions use "stranger" instead of alien.)

Christian assertion: Our Jesus was so beautiful to behold!

Nice idea, but totally off the mark! Every picture of Him (even though no one in two thousand years has ever actually seen Him, which makes ALL representations of Him human fabrication!) depicts Him as a good-looking, often blond adonis. But the Scriptures tell us otherwise:

Isaiah 53: 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry round. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

YHWH sent His Son Yeshua not as some "adonis" for women to swoon over or men to envy; but, rather, He sent His Son at that "just right" time and place (before cameras, videos or voice recorders) because, as the Bible tells us, He wasn't very good looking - and many people (especially in our carnal, arrogant, superficial and pretentious world today where "looks" have become an idol) might not have followed Him simply because of his ethnicity, appearance, color of His eyes, skin, etc.
