On the Plurality of YAHAVA

YAHAVA: Duality in Divine Nature

In a recent teaching, we delved into the profound nature of God, exploring the concept of His plurality. The discussion centered around the name YAHAVA, which was identified as the name of the Living God. This exploration was supported by historical context and, more importantly, scripture.

The teaching highlighted the scriptural passages that have traditionally supported the concept of the Trinity, such as 1 John 5:7 and Matthew 28:19. However, it was argued that these passages might not fully encapsulate the true nature of God as described in the Bible. Instead, the focus was shifted to the idea of God being a singular entity with a dual nature, rather than a trinity.

The concept of “Plurality of One” was introduced, drawing parallels to everyday items like binoculars or scissors, which are singular yet composed of two parts. This idea was further supported by examining the creation narrative in Genesis, where God (Elohiym, a plural term) created man in His image, breathing into him the “breath of lives,” suggesting a duality within a singular entity.

Throughout the teaching, numerous biblical examples were provided to illustrate this duality, such as the creation of the universe (heaven and earth), the day (light and dark), and humanity (male and female). These examples were used to propose that God’s nature is best understood as two in one, rather than three.

The teaching concluded with a reflection on the implications of this understanding for our relationship with God, emphasizing the importance of faith and love as two sides of the same coin. It was suggested that this duality is central to the biblical narrative and our understanding of God, challenging traditional views of the Trinity and inviting believers to reconsider the nature of the divine.
