Why it is acceptable for Moses to be considered God’s representative, while blasphemous if applied to Jesus?




Why it is acceptable for Moses to be considered God’s representative, while blasphemous if applied to Jesus?

God's Law says: “And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, I have made thee a God to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet" (Exodus 7: 1).
Why it is acceptable for Moses to be considered God’s representative, while blasphemous if applied to Jesus? Simply because, just as the Creator, Moses was extremely humble, and honest (“Moses was a very humble man, more so than anyone on the face of the earth”- Numbers 12: 3, Christian Standard Bible); But as for Jesus, he was instead an arrogant [and deceptive] man, who yearned for human glory and recognition.
And it goes without saying that God isn’t pleased with any man that, while living inside a mortal body [filled with urine, and feces], falsely thinks he has the right to be proud, or arrogant (“Though the Lord is exalted, he takes note of the humble; but he knows the haughty from a distance… Everyone with a proud heart is detestable to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished”- Psalm 138: 6, & Proverbs 16: 5, Christian Standard Bible).
If you don't believe it, just consider the fact that, while falsely claiming to be humble (“Take up my yoke and learn from me, because I am lowly and humble in heart”- Matthew 11: 29), Jesus goes on to say the following: “I [Jesus] and the Father are One”- John 10: 30.
In the former verse, pay attention to Jesus implied arrogance. Any humble person would have said: “The Father [who is a Pure and immortal Spirit dwelling in the High Heavens, and is thus infinitely superior than me] and I [who live upon the Earth, inside a sweaty human body full of urine and feces] are One”. But Jesus says instead: “I and the Father are One", thus arrogantly placing himself (a mortal human being) ahead of God. Not only that, but after placing himself ahead of God, he dares to go on to deceptively play with our minds, trying to “cover his tracks” with the smoke screen of claiming to have said the opposite- that God is greater than him! (keep in mind that, ambiguity, is the Gospel’s preferred weapon of mass deception! ). As is written: “… for my Father is greater than I”- John 14: 28).

 

What does the Hebrew Scriptures really say about salvation and Messiah?

Nothing written by the Hebrew prophets can contradict what was written by Moses in his five books of Torah (Law); and nothing written in the five books of Torah can contradict what was written by God’s own finger upon the two stone tablets- that ultimate freedom is to found in a broken heart that renounces to his own ego, in order to obey God's Ten Laws (commandments), thereby acceptings God's kingdom upon his life.
Thus, Torah isn’t a call to believe a specific Messianic Theology; rather, it’s a call to brokenness (the sincere repentance that leads to a life committed with doing what is good). This truth is repeated all over the Scriptures:

1) «Depart from rah (evil), and do tov (good); and dwell l'olam (for evermore; life everlasting)»- Psalm 37: 27
2) «Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before Mine eyes; cease to do evil; Learn to do good; seek mishpat (justice), relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the almanah (widow). Come now, and let us reason together, saith Hashem (God); though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool»- Isaiah 1: 16-18
3) «If Ami (my people), which are called by Shmi (my name), shall humble themselves, and daven (pray), and seek my face, and turn from their derakhim hara’im (wicked ways), then will I hear from Shomayim (heavens), and will forgive their chattat (sins), and will heal their land»- 2 Chronicles 7: 14
4) «Perhaps the house of Y’hudah will listen to all the disaster I intend to bring on them, and turn back, each person from his evil way; then I will forgive their wickedness and sin»- Jeremiah 36: 3.
5) «Likewise, if, after I tell the wicked person, “You must die, ” he turns from his sin and does what is lawful and right, if the wicked person restores pledged property and returns what he stole, so that he lives by the laws that give life and does not commit evil deeds; then he will live, he will not die. None of the sins he committed will be remembered against him; he has done what is lawful and right; he will surely live» - Ezekiel 33: 14-16
6) «Here is the final conclusion, now that you have heard everything: fear God, and keep his mitzvot (commandments); this is what being human is all about. For God will bring to judgment everything we do, including every secret, whether good or bad»- Ecclesiastes 12: 13-14.

And from whence do we know that repentance (and turning away from evil) is the way to have our sins removed? We know it from the verse that reads:
«As far as the mizrach (east) is from the ma’arav (west), so far hath He removed peysha’einu (our transgressions) from us»- Psalm 103: 12. Where are the east and the west? And (more importantly), how far is the one from the other? The answer is that “east” and “west” are no particular places, but rather two opposite directions, either of which we can choose to follow.
We could be heading East, but in the moment we stop, and do a 180 degree turn (in order to start traveling in the opposite direction), we have bridged the gap (covering the distance) between East and West. And that’s exactly how God removes (pardons) our sins: when we recognize we are heading in the wrong direction (away from God, with our constant transgression of His commandments) and stop, in order to make a 180 degree turn, and start walking in the opposite direction.
We call this “sincere repentance”: to have a contrite heart; to abandon evil, and to start doing good. This is God’s true sacrifice; not that of a human Messiah, nor that of an animal beast, but the sacrifice of our selfish ego (our " Yetzer ha-ra", or " evil inclination" ).
This is why the Scripture says: «For you don’t want sacrifices, or I would give them; you don’t take pleasure in burnt offerings. My sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God, you won’t spurn a broken, chastened heart»- Psalm 51: 16-17;
And: «Hashem is near unto them whose lev (heart) is broken; and saveth such whose ruach (spirit) is contrite»-Psalm34: 18;
And still in another place: «With what can I come before Adonai to bow down before God on high? Should I come before him with burnt offerings? with calves in their first year? Would Adonai take delight in thousands of rams with ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Could I give my firstborn to pay for my crimes, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? ” Human being, you have already been told what is good, what Adonai (God) demands of you - no more than to act justly (with your fellow human being), love grace (doing mercy) and walk in purity (humility) with your God»- Micah 6: 8.
Thus, mankind redemption does not come from any human Mashiach, but rather from sincere repentance. In fact, that spirit of repentance is in itself God’s true Mashiach, as the Scripture confirms: «And the Go’el (Redeemer, Mashiach) shall come to Tziyon, and unto them that make teshuva (sincere repentance) and turn from peysha (rebellion) in Ya’akov, saith Hashem»- Isaiah 59: 20.
Notice that the verse doesn’t say that Mashiach will come unto those who believe in him, but rather unto those who make Teshuva (repent). Why? Because the fact is that " Teshuva" is actually " Mashiach"! This is confirmed by a Midrash (Sanh. 98a) that promises the Mashiach will come TODAY... “if we hear His voice, and Harden not our hearts... (in other words, if we proceed to sincere repentance)”- Psalm 95: 7-8.
