Jesus Is Not God, I Wish Christians Can Be Like Muslims – Pastor of mind of Christ christain centre; Reno Omokri

Ex-presidential aide and pastor at the Mind of
Christ Christian Center, Reno Omokri on
Tuesday contributed to the ongoing conversation
generated by Maraji’s post of Jesus being the
only way to heaven.
Omokri revealed that his journey into the
study of pre-European Christianity has made
him realised that the belief that “Jesus is
God” is a European concept.
He said that there is a huge difference
between the Bible and Scriptures, noting that
Scriptures are the original scripts written in
Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek while the Bible is
a European version of the Scriptures which
had been modified to suit their purposes.
He also said that the real name of the son of
God is not Jesus but Yeshu’a.
Omokri’s exact words:
“Some of the names/doctrines you read in
The Bible have been changed. In fact, there
is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between The Bible
and The Scriptures. The Bible is a
SANITISED (for their purposes) European
version of The Scriptures.
“The Scriptures are the original scripts
written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. I
wish Christians can be like Muslims in that
we read The Scriptures in the ORIGINAL
LANGUAGE.
“I went to Israel, Ethiopia, Rome, Turkey and
Greece to study pre-European Christianity. If
I say what I discovered, I will be labelled an
anti Christ. But let me just say that the Son
of God who lived on Earth 2000 years ago is
Yeshu’a, not Jesus and He never claimed to
be God.
“As a matter of fact, He came to show us
the Way to God because He Yeshua, is the
only Way to God. He is the everlasting
Melchizedek High Priest. The Mediator
between God and man. But He is NOT God.
That is a European concept.
He continued:
“Let me shock you. Yeshua came to show
us the Way to God because He, Yeshua, is
the ONLY Way to God. He is the everlasting
Melchizedek High Priest. The ONLY
Mediator between God and man. But He is
NOT the Almighty God. That is a European
concept.
“Yeshua never claimed to be God. Many
Christians read John 1:1 in The Bible (not
the Scriptures) and use that to claim that
Yeshua is God.
“I will urge you to get the original Greek
Scriptures (see the attached picture) and
even if you can’t read Greek, just study that
verse.
“This is the verse in pure Greek (Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν
ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ
θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος). Here is the verse in Latin,
which may be easier for laymen (In principio
erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et
Deus erat Verbum).
“Notice the words DEUM and DEUS are used
to describe the first and second mention of
God. Although you may not be able to read
Greek, what John 1:1 says when translated
without changing the words used for God is
this “in the beginning was the Word and the
Word was with Theon and the Word was
Theos”.
“The original Scriptures did not use the
same word for the first mention of God and
the second mention. The word used in the
first mention is THEON (which refers to the
Almighty. The word in the second mention is
THEOS which is what is used to refer to
Yeshua.
“This is why Scripture says “my people
perish for lack of knowledge”-Hosea 4:6.
“The name of the Son of God is Yeshua.
Jesus is not a TRANSLATION of Yeshua. It
is a VERSION.
“I do not know what will happen to those
who use the name Jesus. Even me, I use
Jesus publicly to teach, although privately
and in the church I Pastor, I use Yeshua. I
do so because I am a coward. I was afraid
of being called an anti-Christ.”
