Hello Blayne,

Actually what I said is that Yosef IS Yahshua, that Yosef was the 1st born
of Yahweh and that He was the Glorified Being which Elheem the Father spoke
"thru" to Moshe. I am quite convinced that the genealogy of Jesse to Judah is
added text. Samuel clearly identifies Jesse as an Ephraimite, and the Root of
Jesse it Yosef. When the Edomites took hold of Jerusalem, Yosef's bones were
resurrected at Shechem, and His body walked to the Jordan. When the rightful
Great Priest John the Baptist baptized him, then Yosef gave up His glorified
state, and reinhabited His body, and walked the earth in the Name of His
mission, Yahshua, Yahweh Saves. What did He save us from? The Corrupted
Priesthood, the Red Heifer. I do not believe in the virgin birth, as you can
see, I do not believe He was born at all, at least not around 4 BC. I am
quite convinced that they did not have a clue as to where He came from and
they added the birth accounts to "prove" He was of Judah. This my friend I am
convinced is the Stumbling Stone, the so called Yahudah lineage of Yahshua.
The Hebrew is clear on this. Our fathers have inherited lies my friend. Think
about it, is is almost to simple to see, Abraham had Isaac and Ishmael, Isaac
recieved the Inheritance, Isaac had Esau and Jacob, Jacob recieved the
Inheritance, Jacob had the 12 tribes Yosef pass the Inheritance to Ephraim.
How could Yahudah then become King? It just does not make sense, and it would
contradict Torah. In all of the Gospels never once do any of the Apostled
call Yahshua the son of David. Actually Yahshua rebuked that doctrine:

Mark 12: 35 ¶ And Jesus answering said, teaching in the temple, `How say the
scribes that the Christ is son of David?
36 for David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my lord, Sit
thou on My right hand, till I place thine enemies--thy footstool;
37 therefore David himself saith of him Lord, and whence is he his son?' And
the great multitude were hearing him gladly,
38 and he was saying to them in his teaching, `BEWARE THE SCRIBES, who will
in long robes to walk, and love salutations in the market-places,

Believe me, there is much in the Hebrew to support this. Ephraim IS the
royal Line. This is one of the reasons I came into this forum, knowing that
Mormons realize their Ephraimite heritage, I thought that you all would
recieve this with open minds. There is much to support this and I am more
than willing to share what has been freely given to me.

Remember the ROOT is an ancestor, NOT a decendant. It is so obvious that it
sometimes is hard to see because of all the lies we have been taught. It took
me a couple of years after I saw this to truly accept it.

May Yahweh be IN you and Bless you,
Tom
