I   ALONE!

The purpose of this study is to emphasize a point in Scripture that some seem to miss.  What is it to be “alone?”  We will look at some verses and definitions of the words used, to see if the Scriptures are clear on what it is to be alone.

GENESIS 2:18- “And Yahweh Elohim said, “It is not good that the man should be alone;”

GENESIS 32:24- “And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.”

GENESIS 42:38- “And he said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone.”

There are two words used in the Hebrew that was used to translate into “alone” in the verses above.  The two words used are pronounced, “bad” and “E”. They were translated “alone” 39 times, “only” 39 times, and “staves” 37 times.

“E” is an ad verb and can mean: to, toward; in, through; before, at, with etc.

“bad” can be a noun, meaning: part, member, limb; pole, bar; or a adjective, meaning: alone, part, only; in addition to.

Looking a little deeper

Looking in a Hebrew-Chaldee lexicon, searching for deeper understanding, I see “bad” is properly understood as “separation, something separated.”  The word comes from, “badad” which means: To be alone, isolated, to disjoin, divide, separate.”

In the Genesis verses we went over, and looking at the actual Hebrew words and there meanings, it should be VERY CLEAR what “alone” means.  . 

“Only”- bad E!

EXODUS 22:20- “He that sacrificeth unto any elohim, save unto Yahweh only, he shall be utterly destroyed.”

1 SAMUEL 7:3- “…If you return to Yahweh with all of your hearts, put away strange elohims and Ashtaroth (Easter) from among you, and prepare your hearts unto Yahweh, and serve him only,…”

2 CHRONICLES 6:30 (Shalomon’s prayer of dedication)- “Then hear thou from heaven they dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart though knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men.”

PSALM 51:4- “Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done evil in thy sight: that thou mightiest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.”

IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

The verses we just covered told us: Yahweh bad E will we serve as Elohim, and Yahweh bad E judges and knows our hearts.  So what about Yahoshua Messiah then? Please read the pamphlet titled, “MESSIANIC PROPHECIES” and it will explain in detail the why and the how Yahoshua is able to judge and know hearts.  It is also clear that Yahoshua Messiah also serves Yahweh, his ONLY ELOHIM.  Yahweh, who is in heaven, he prays to, just like Shalomon!  Go figure!

“Alone”- bad E!

PSALM 83:18- “That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Yahweh, the Most High over all the earth.”

PSALM 86:10- “For thou art great, and does wondrous things: thou art Elohim alone.”

PSALM 148:13- “Let them praise the name of Yahweh: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.”

Burning Bush

EXODUS 3:15 “And Elohim said moreover unto Moshe, “Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, YAHWEH Elohim of you fathers,…hath sent me unto you: THIS IS MY NAME FOREVER, AND THIS IS MY MEMORIAL UNTO ALL GENERATIONS.”

Summary of “bad E”

Overlooking all that we have covered thus far, it seems VERY CLEAR that Yahweh is the ONLY ELOHIM, he told us his name and said it is A MEMORIAL FOREVER, and he seems to be very serious and clear on this subject.  We saw early on in Genesis that bad E is clearly used in a singular fashion, with no room for error.  Bringing us to the final Hebrew verse I will address, which is VERY CLEAR that Yahweh Elohim is our ONLY CREATOR!

ISAIAH 44:24- “Thus saith Yahweh, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I Yahweh that maketh all things;  that stretched forth the heavens ALONE; that spread abroad the earth    BY MYSELF.”No room for guessing games and false theories!  Yahweh is the ONLY creator and created ALONE!

New Testament/Greek

Monos- only, alone, by oneself.  This is the word used the in following verses.  Again, it is VERY clear it is singular.

LUKE 5:21- “Who can forgive sins but Yahweh alone?” (See MESSIANIC PROPHECIES!)

JOHN 8:18- “And yet it I judge, my judgement is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.”

JOHN 8:29- “And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.”

With me

Yahoshua Messiah is not a liar!  He says that Yahweh his Father is with him and he pleases him also!  The people in the Luke 5:21 verse know, that Yahweh is the forgiver of sins.  They did not understand that Yahoshua is their High Priest/Judge and has the Torah given right to do exactly what he is doing.  The Judges is another pamphlet that can help this subject become clearer to you.

SAVE ONE

LUKE 18:19- “And Yahoshua said to him, “Why callest me good?  None is good, save one, Yahweh.”

Many versions use the word “alone” here instead of “save one.”  So let’s see if Yahoshua is VERY clear at what he is saying.

Save/ei me- if not, except, but.  One/heis- one, single.

So you could say in the verse above, “Why call me good?  None is good except one, Yahweh.”

Friends, this is SO CLEAR!  There is no mistake or room for guessing games!  Yahoshua states that Yahweh is with him and also that they are clearly separate.  He does not say he IS Yahweh or say that he IS the Creator.  If he had said those things, then there would be reason for the Israelites to be against him, for as we read earlier in the Hebrew Scriptures,

there is only one Yahweh and he created ALONE.  The false teachings that claim Yahoshua created is absolutely false!  You can ask for the pamphlet titled, WISDOM and learn and understand the true meaning behind John 1 and the beautiful analogies in the Hebrew Scriptures that the New Testament writers were referring to.  Once you understand these things, you will no longer wonder if the Trinity is true or not.  You will know, (if you don’t from this pamphlet alone), that the Trinity theory is ABSOLUTELY FALSE, as well as those who say Yahoshua help created, solely created, as well as those who say Yahoshua pre- existed!

Defined in English

So, just as an extra precaution, let us make sure that “alone” and “only” truly mean what it is presumed to mean.  One thing to notice is that both words have “one” in part: al-ONE and ONE-ly.

ALONE: adj. all + one- 1. Apart from anything or anyone else. 2. Without involving any other person. 3. Without anything further; with nothing more. 4. Without equal or peer.

ONLY: adj. one + ly- 1. Alone of its or their kind; by its or themselves; sole. 2. Alone in its or their superiority; best; finest.  Adv. 1. and no other; and no more; solely; exclusively.

Do these definitions suite “bad E”?  Did the translators get it right?  DID WE?
