Paul Sides, Rav Sha’ul, Translation Of Colossians 1

This Rav Sha’ul Exposed study is about Paul Sides’ Bible translation of the 1st chapter of the book of John.

Before we start, you need to understand what Rav Sha’ul is proclaiming with the false concept of the Yahushaic Covenant. Obviously, this is just a summary:

Paul Sides teaches that Yahusha was 100% man, because his biological father was Joseph. He teaches that Yahusha sinned and need to be baptized by John for remission of sins. He teaches that just like Elohim made covenants with men like Abraham and Moses, Yahuah made a covenant with Yahusha.  He teaches that after Messiah became perfected and lived a sinless life as a priest, and died to Himself on the cross, that He was then made divine.

You can see Biblical proof that Paul Sides claims about Messiah are false in this study: Paul Sides Is A False Teacher

So given Paul Sides teachings, we need to look at how he changes the intent and context of Scripture, to remove Messiah from His rightly place; as the Father’s first-born creation, thus He is deity, as the co-Creator, and as the spotless Lamb of Elohim.

For each verse of his version I will provide the matching verse from the ISR 98, which is a literal word for word translation, and I will provide comments when needed. The main point is to help you see how many words he has added to the Greek text..

The ISR 98 matches the names of the Father and Son that Paul Sides is using, that of Yahuah the Father, and Yahusha the Son.

Colossians 1 in full context … The Truth

He doesn’t declare what Bible version he is using, which is totally misleading; but it is fact the corrupt NIV, with the Hebrew names added.

The author’s of the NIV used corrupt manuscripts, such as Codex Siniaticus (Aleph or a) and Codex Vaticanus (B), which were written by unbelieving philosophers in Alexandria Egypt, such as a man named Origen, who did not accept the Bible as the Word of Elohim or Messiah as the Son of Elohim. They amended, added to and deleted many portions of the true text and then palmed off their work as the Word of Elohim.

Rav Sha’ul esteems himself as an authoritative representative of truth, but he is using the corrupt NIV as the basis of his explanation of Colossians 1. Fail!

________________________________________
1 Paul, an apostle of Yahusha the Messiah by the will of Yahuah(proclaimed in The Heavenly Scroll), and Timothy our brother,

Psalm 119:89 Your word, Yahuah, is eternal; it stands firm (written) in the heaven(ly Scroll).

Hebrews 10:7 Then I said, ‘Here I am–it is written about me in the heavenly scroll– I have come to do your will, my God! (Matthew 6:10).  The word ‘heavenly’ is not in manuscripts, it is added, which changes the meaning of the text.  And he didn’t change the NIV ‘God’ to ‘Elohim’.

Matthew 6:10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is (written) in (the) heaven(ly scroll).

ISR98 “Sha’ul, an emissary of יהושע Messiah by the desire of Elohim, and Timothy our brother,”

2 To Yahuah’s holy people in Colossae, the faithful brothers and sisters in covenant with Yahusha: Grace and peace to you from Yahuah our Father.

ISR98 “to the set-apart ones in Colosse, and true brothers in Messiah: Favour to you and peace from Elohim our Father and the Master Yahusha Messiah.”

The manuscripts do not include the word ‘covenant’. Paul Sides is adding to Scripture.

Paul Sides left off ‘the Master Yahusha Messiah’ at the end of the verse, because the NIV does not include it; as the NIV is based on manuscripts from heretics who didn’t believe in Messiah’s deity.

NOTE:
Now Sha’ul gives Yahuah alone Glory found in The Heavenly Scroll (the Word of His Testimony)
________________________________________
3 We always thank Yahuah, the Father of our King Yahusha the Messiah, when we pray for you,

ISR98 “We give thanks to the Elohim and Father of our Master Yahusha Messiah, praying always for you,”

4 because we have heard of your faith in The Yahushaic Covenant and of the love you have for all Yahuah’s people

ISR98 “having heard of your belief in Messiah Yahusha and of your love for all the set-apart ones,”

The manuscripts say “your belief in Messiah Yahusha“, not the Yahushaic Covenant.  It’s one thing to add notes, to provide an explanation, but Paul Sides is not doing that here; he has changed the meaning of the verse. His change is based on his premise that Yahuah made a covenant with the man, Yahusha; so it changes that Paul was pointing simply to their belief in Yahusha as deity.

5 the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in The Heavenly Scroll and about which you have already heard (proclaimed) in (the stars Psalm 19 and Galatians 3) which (The Heavenly Scroll) is the true message of the gospel (it is The Word of His Testimony which Sha’ul taught exclusively 1 Cor. 2)

ISR98 “because of the expectation that is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News,”

Once again he inserted The Heavenly Scroll in place of the word ‘heavens’, thereby changing the meaning. 

1 Corinthians 2 – Sha’ul speaking to former pagans who knew and abused the Zodiac

1 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony of Yahuah (about Yahusha written in the stars). 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Yahusha the Messiah and him crucified (before the foundation of the world written in the stars before our very eyes Galatians 3). … 7 we declare Yahuah’s wisdom (Matthew 11:25), a mystery that has been hidden (from the foundation of the world in the Heavenly Scroll Enoch 6:9) and that Yahuah destined for our glory before time began (writing it in the stars on day 4 of creation).

6 that (message hidden in The Heavenly Scroll before time began 1 Cor. 2:7) has come to you in the same way (preached by the stars as a witness to all mankind Psalm 19), the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world (as humanity is without excuse Galatians 3)—

Galatians 3:1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you (twisting the Zodiac into witchcraft Enoch 9:6)? Before your very eyes (in The Heavenly Scroll) Yahusha the Messiah was clearly portrayed as crucified (a lamb that is slaughtered) …7 Understand then (what is foretold in the stars), that those who have faith (in the message contained in the stars Romans 10:17 which is Yahuah’s Eternal Witness of Yahusha Psalm 119:89) are children of Abraham. 8 Scripture (the word written in the heavens Psalm 119:89) foresaw (from the foundation of the world) that Yahuah would justify the Gentiles by faith (and reconsile all things back to himself), and Yahuah announced the gospel in advance to Abraham (via The Heavenly Scroll Genesis 15:5; saying): “All nations will be blessed through you (Sha’ul quotes Gen 15:5 where Yahuah witnessed to Abraham via The Heavenly Scroll).”

Romans 10:17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message (proclaimed in the stars Gen 15:5), and the message is heard through the word about the Messiah (what “word” about Yahusha? Sha’ul now quotes Psalm 19). 18 But I ask: Did they not hear (what the stars proclaim night after night, day after day Psalms 19)? Of course they did: “Their voice (constellations) has gone out into all the earth, their words (concerning Yahusha) to the ends of the world.”

just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood Yahuah’s grace (who has fulfilled The Heavenly Scroll/Debar in Yahusha as prophesied John 1)

ISR98 “which has come to you, as also in all the world it is bearing fruit and growing, as also among you, since the day you heard and knew the favour of Elohim in truth,”

Though the Gospel message has been declared in the 12 constellations from Creation, Rav Shaul perverts the message of the Gospel, preaching a false Messiah with a human covenant. 

7 You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of The Yahushaic Covenant on our behalf,

ISR98 “as you also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a true servant of Messiah on your behalf,”

The manuscripts say “a true servant of Messiah”, not a faithful minister of The Yahushaic Covenant”. Once again, he changes the meaning of Scripture, which violates YHUH’s command against doing do.

8 and who also told us of your love in the Spirit.

ISR98 “who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.”

9 For this reason (accepting The Word of His Testimony fulfilled in Yahusha John 1), since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask Yahuah to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,

ISR98 “That is also why we, from the day we heard, have not ceased praying for you, and asking that you be filled with the knowledge of His desire in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,”

10 so that you may live a life worthy of the King of Creation (Yahuah) and please Yahuah in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of Yahuah,

ISR98 “to walk worthily of the Master, pleasing all, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of Elohim,”

The manuscripts do not say “King of Creation”, but rather point to the Master Yahusha.  Rav Shaul does this to remove authority from Messiah. 

11 being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might (that he exerted when He fulfilled His Promises and raised Yahusha from the dead Ephesians 1:19-20)

Ephesians 1:19 and the surpassing greatness of Yahuah’s power to us who believe. Yahuah displayed this power in the working of His mighty strength, 20 which Yahuah exerted in Yahusha when Yahuah raised Yahusha from the dead and (THEN) seated Yahusha at His right hand in the heavenly realms (on the Throne in The Heavenly Scroll), 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this Age of Pisces (The Messianic Age), but also in the Age of Aquarius to come (The Kingdom Age).

so that you may have great endurance and patience,

ISR98 “being empowered with all power, according to the might of His esteem, for all endurance and patience with joy,”

12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you (by walking The Way) to share in the inheritance of His holy people in the kingdom of light (a metaphor for The Heavenly Scroll).

ISR98giving thanks to the Father who has made us fit to share in the inheritance of the set-apart ones in the light,”

13 For Yahuah has rescued us from the dominion of darkness (Ba’al Shamayim has taken the Throne in Heaven by force… the corrupted version of The Heavenly Scroll source of all deception) and brought us into the kingdom of the (first born-again, risen Divine Romans 1:2-4) Son Yahuah loves,

ISR98 “who has delivered us from the authority of darkness and transferred us into the reign of the Son of His love, ‘

Messiah said, “Therefore Yahusha spoke to them again, saying, “I AM the light of the world. He who follows Me shall by no means walk in darkness, but possess the light of life.” John 8:12

14 in covenant with Yahusha we have redemption (from death), the forgiveness of sins (the death decrees are covered in The Yahushaic Covenant/by his blood which consumates that covenant where Yahuah ‘forgives our iniquity and remembers our sin no more’).

ISR98 “in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins,”

Notice how the words “through His blood” have been removed by the NIV and Rav Shaul, once against manipulating Scripture, and removing the proof that our redemption is through the sacrificial blood of Yahusha Messiah.

NOTE:
Now Sha’ul uses the technique of “comparison/contrast” to establish the difference in Glory between Yahuah the Creator, and Yahusha the firstborn who will inherit creation. Sha’ul goes back and forth as he makes his comparison but the Bible was Hellenized and made very vague by the use of passive voice (him, his, he) instead of using proper names, this was intentional by the Greeks (lying pen of the pagan Scribes) so that these false doctrines could easily be established in Scripture through sound bites and twisting of the meaning.
Sha’ul Begins with Yahusha… he is not Yahuah in the flesh he is the perfected (through discipline and sanctification) Spiritual Image (Righteous Mindset/Character) of Yahuah and did not exist with Yahuah at creation but is the firstborn of eternal creation being the first fruits of the resurrection.

Rav Shaul created the premise that Paul uses a technique of “comparison/contrast”,  so that he could change who Scripture is pointing to, in order to deflect away from the deity attributes of Messiah.
________________________________________
15 The Son Yahusha (and all sons Psalms 82:6 and Genesis 1:27) is the image of the invisible Yahuah (we must conform to that image too, so that he becomes), the firstborn over all (eternal) creation (by the power of the resurrection when he is given pre-eminence among all the eternal sons and he is the firstborn of the resurrection, the firstborn of the dead, the first fruits of the grave NOT physical creation).

Romans 1:2 concerning Yahusha, which Yahuah promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy Scriptures (both The Heavenly and Earthly Scrolls, he did not pre-exist), 3 concerning His Son, who was born of a descendant of David (through both parents) according to the flesh (flesh ‘Sarki’ g4561: Thayer’s def =#4 – born to two human parents, outside ANY Divine Influence, prone to sin, and opposed to Yahuah), 4 who was declared (Divine) the Son of Yahuah with power by the resurrection from the dead (Ephesians 1:19-21), according to the Spirit of holiness (Yahuah’s Spiritual Seed given as an earnest gurantee when he was adopted by walking The Way of Mikveh), Yahusha the Messiah,

ISR98who is the likeness of the invisible Elohim, the first-born of all creation.”

The manuscripts say that Messiah is the first-born OF all creation, not over all creation.  

These verses point to Messiah being present and active in creation:

“and to make all see how this secret is administered, which for ages past has been hidden in ELOHIM WHO CREATED ALL THROUGH יהושע YAHUSHA MESSIAH” Ephesians 3:9 (Note: through ‘through Yahusha Messiah’ is missing is some manuscripts for this verse, it may have been added based on Colossians 1:16 and Hebrews 1:2)

Elohim, having of old spoken in many portions and many ways to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by the Son, whom He has appointed heir of all, THROUGH WHOM ALSO HE MADE THE AGES,” Hebrews 1:1-2

For to which of the messengers did He ever say, “You are My Son, today I have brought You forth”? And again, “I shall be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son”? And when He again brings the first-born into the world, He says, “Let all the messengers of Elohim do reverence to Him... And, “YOU, MASTER, DID FOUND THE EARTH IN THE BEGINNING, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. ” Hebrews 1:5-6,9

And to the messenger of the assembly in Laodikeia write, ‘The Amĕn, the Trustworthy and True Witness, THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF ELOHOM, says this:” Revelation 3:14

It’s telling us that Messiah was the beginning of creation by Elohim. From Genesis to Revelation, the Scriptures proclaim that all was created through Messiah.

_______________________________________
NOTE:
Now Sha’ul stresses that Yahuah, on the other hand, is not the firstborn of the resurrection, but was before all things… and He is The Creator and that this Creation was created to be given to His Children through inheritance see verse 12, Yahusha the firstborn and heir to Creation NOT The Creator.
________________________________________
16 For in Yahuah all things were created (Isaiah 44:24, Isaiah 45:5-18, Isaiah 42:5):

Isaiah 44:24 “This is what Yahuah says— your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am Yahuah, the Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens, who spreads out the earth by myself.

Isaiah 42:5 This is what Yahuah says— He who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it:

Isaiah 45:5 I am Yahuah, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. 7 I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, Yahuah, do all these things. 12 It is I who made the earth and created mankind upon it. My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts. 18 For this is what Yahuah says— He who created the heavens, He (alone) is God; He who fashioned and made the earth, He founded it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited— He says: “I am Yahuah, and there is no other (God).”

things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Yahuah (His Word “let there be light” in Gen. 1:1) and for Yahusha (verse 12 as an inheritance Romans 8:16-17 for His firstborn son to rule over Creation as King over the GOVERNMENT that will govern creation Isaiah 9:6 and Daniel 7:13-14).

1 Corinthians 8:6 yet for us there is but ONE God the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we exist (Yahuah is The Creator and we exist to be His Children). And there is but one King, Yahusha the Messiah, for whom all things were created (as an inheritance) and through whom we exist (in covenant as Yahuah reconciled us back to Himself via a Mediating High Priest 1 Timothy 2:5).

Romans 11:36 For from Yahuah and through Yahusha and to (reconsile to) Yahuah all things. To Yahuah be the glory forever!

Isaiah 9:6-7 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government shall be on his shoulders and he will be called Wonderful Counselor, (the perfect image of) Mighty God, (for) Father of Everlasting (life, firstborn of the dead, first fruits of the grave), and Prince of (the Covenant of) Peace (Numbers 25).” There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, on the Throne of David and over His Kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness from then on and forevermore.

Romans 8:16-17 “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of YHVH, and if children, then heirs — heirs of YHVH and joint heirs with the Messiah, if indeed we suffer with him (Yahusha), that we may also be glorified together (Yahusha did not preexist, he is glorified and given his inheritance the same time we are by the power of the resurrection).”

Daniel 7:13 “I kept looking in the night visions (he was looking at the stars), and behold (in The Heavenly Scroll), with the clouds of heaven One (Orion) like a Son of Man (Orion represents the Messian in The Heavenly Scroll) was coming, (now Daniel reads the message in The Heavenly Scroll) And He (The Messiah) came up to the Ancient of Days (Yahuah, they are NOT the same being and Yahusha is NOT “the ancient of days”) And Yahusha was presented before Yahuah. 14 “And to Him (Yahusha) was given (by Yahuah as an inheritance) dominion, Glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him (not worship Yahusha, we serve Yahusha in The Kingdom). His dominion (As King over the Government that governs creation) is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed.

ISR98 “Because in Him were created all that are in the heavens and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or rulerships or principalities or authorities – all have been created through Him and for Him.”

The “Him” is pointing to Yahusha, the topic of the previous verses; but Rav Shaul manipulated the text to point to Yahuah.

17 Yahuah is before all things, and in Yahuah all things hold together (by His command “let there be” in Genesis 1)

ISR98 “And He is before all, and in Him all hold together.”

Once again, the ‘He’ is pointing to Messiah, not Yahuah.
________________________________________
Now Sha’ul changes back to Yahusha in contrast, Yahusha is not “before all things and creator” he is the first-born son of the resurrection, the chief cornerstone of Yahuah’s Temple not The Creator. Yahuah sits on the Throne of Creation, Yahusha sits at His Right Hand as King over the GOVERNMENT that will govern his Father’s House see Zechariah Chapter 3.

Now that he’s done manipulating the text to point to Yahuah instead of Yahusha, he’s switching back.
________________________________________
18 And (in contrast) Yahusha is (not before ALL things but he is) the head of the body, the Chief Cornerstone of Yahuah’s Temple; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything (in Yahuah’s Eternal Creation) he might have the preeminence (as heir, forefather of everylasting life, and King over the Government Isaiah 9:6).

Romans 8:19 “Creation eagerly awaits the revelation of the sons of YHVH”… vs. 21 “when creation will be set free form bondage and come into the glorious freedom of the sons of YHVH (we govern creation)”

ISR98 “And He is the Head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that He might become the One who is first in all.”

Paul Sides changed the last part of the verse which says “that He might become the One who is first in all”, once again removing authority from Yahusha.

19 For Yahuah was pleased (Matthew 3:17)

Matthew 3:17 And a voice from heaven (After Yahusha had been adopted through Mikveh) said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.

to have all his fullness dwell in him (after he was adopted through Mikveh and born-again and the Spirit given as an earnest guarantee he would be raised from the dead Matthew 3:16),

Matthew 3:16 As soon as Yahusha was Mikveh’d (clean of his sin Ezekiel 36) with Living Water (to fulfill all Righteous Requirements of The Law), He went up out of the living water. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of Yahuah descending like a dove and resting on Him (he was filled with the fullness of deity Colossians 2:9 as are we ALL who walk The Way of Mikveh Ephesians 3:19).

Colossians 2:9 For in (covenant with) Yahusha all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form (after Mikveh, we are Mikveh’d into The Yahushaic Covenant Matthew 29:19).

Ephesians 3:19 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled (in bodily form) to the measure of all the fullness of God (in covenant with Yahusha).

ISR98 “Because in Him all the completeness was well pleased to dwell,”

20 and in covenant with Yahusha (we are ALL filled with the fullness of deity Ephesians 3:19) to reconcile to himself (back to Yahuah) all things (Yahuah Created), whether things on earth or things in heaven (verse 16), by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross (to consummate The Covenant of Peace, mediate as Eternal High Priest, and atone for us Numbers 25:12).

Numbers 25:12 Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him My covenant of peace; 13 and it shall be to him and his descendants after him a covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.’”

ISR98 “and through Him to completely restore to favour all unto Himself, whether on earth or in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of His stake.

The manuscripts do not include the word ‘covenant’. Paul Sides adds it to change the meaning. 

The text is clearly proclaiming that Yahuah restored all unto Himself through the blood of Yahusha. 

21 Once you were alienated from Yahuah and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior (in the flesh).

ISR98 “And you, who once were estranged and enemies in the mind by wicked works, but now He has completely restored to favour

22 But now Yahuah has reconciled you by (following The Way demonstrated by) Yahusha’s physical body (he gave as a Sin Offering) through death to present you holy in his sight (washed clean with Living Water Ephesians 5:25-27), (a Bride) without blemish and free from accusation (because you followed The Way of Mikveh, Circumcision, and Offering and Yahuah has ‘forgiven your iniquity and remembers your sin on more’ the promise of The Yahushaic Covenant Jeremiah 31)—

Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Yahusha (the Groom) loved the Bride and gave himself up for her (as a sin offering to show us The Way by example) 26 to make her holy (through sanctification), cleansing her by the washing with Living water (Mikveh) according to the word (promise Yahuah made in Jeremiah 31 and Ezekiel 36 to cleanse our sin with living water), 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant Bride, (Passover Lambs) without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless (by walking The Way of Mikveh, Circumcision, and Offering).

ISR98 “in the body of His flesh through death, to present you set-apart, and blameless, and unreprovable before Him,

Paul Sides adds a list of things to do in order to be presented set-apart, blameless and unreprovable; but the previous verse just proclaimed that it was by the shed blood of Yahusha on the stake.

23 if you continue in your faith (that Yahuah has forgiven your iniquity and remembers your sin no more by walking The Way in covenant with Yahusha as your mediating High Priest), established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel (proclaimed in the stars). This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven (Psalm 19), and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

ISR98 “if indeed you continue in the belief, founded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the expectation of the Good News which you heard, which was proclaimed to every creature under the heaven, of which I, Sha’ul, became a servant,

The Good News is that Messiah died for your sins on the stake, and you simply need to believe that Yahuah sent Him to do so.

This is how the Scriptures are supposed to be taught. Line upon line, precept upon precept to overcome The Dragon who has twisted them into Greek, mistranslated them into English and causes us to deny Yahuah’s Glory as Creator and blaspheme His immortal invisible Spirit.

The irony is that Paul Sides is the one who twisted the Scriptures, using the corrupt NIV as his foundation; removing words and changing the meaning, to remove authority from Yahusha.

Sha’ul is teaching the same message in Hebrews 2

Hebrews 2:10 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that Yahuah, for whom and through whom everything exists, (Yahuah) should (through discipline Hebrews 12:4-11) MAKE the pioneer of their salvation (he shows us The Way and went before us, he is the Forefather of Everlasting Life Isaiah 6:9) PERFECT (he was not born perfect, Yahuah MADE him perfect through sanctification) through what he suffered. 11 Both the one who makes people holy (Yahuah) and those who are made holy (Yahusha and all his brother/sisters) are of the same family. So Yahusha is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters… 14 Since the children (of Yahuah) have flesh and blood (are all born according to the flesh and sinful), he too shared in their humanity (he was a sinful human too and had to offer his sinful flesh) so that by his death (the death of a man not God) he might break the power of him who holds the power of death (defeat The Law of Sin and Death by dying innocent by walking The Way)—that is, the devil— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death (because he showed us all how to defeat death by walking The Way to perfection ourselves). 16 For surely it is not angels Yahusha helps, but Abraham’s descendants. 17 For this reason he had to be made like them (he was made human just like I was and sinful), fully human in every way (doesn’t get any clearer than that), in order that he might BECOME a merciful and faithful high priest (all High Priests are chosen from among men… Hebrews 5:1) in service to Yahuah (AFTER his sin was forgiven Zechariah Chapter 3), and that he might make atonement for HIS SIN and the sins of the people (Hebrews 5:3). 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted (proof he was not Yahuah, Yahuah cannot be tempted by evil), he is able to help those who are being tempted (because he was NOT a god, he did sin, and he was perfected in obedience by suffering discipline known as sanctification).

Paul Sides didn’t bother to ‘translate’ Colossians 1:24-29, which is really odd!

ISR98 Colossians 1:24 “who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in Messiah’s afflictions, for the sake of His Body, which is the assembly,”

ISR98 Colossians 1:25 “of which I became a servant according to the administration of Elohim which was given to me for you, to fill the word of Elohim,” 

ISR98 Colossians 1:26 “the secret which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His set-apart ones,” 

ISR98 Colossians 1:27 “to whom Elohim desired to make known what are the riches of the esteem of this secret among the gentiles: which is Messiah in you, the expectancy of esteem,”

ISR98 Colossians 1:28 “whom we announce, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, in order to present every man perfect in Messiah יהושע,”

Believers are made perfect in Messiah Yahusha.

ISR98 Colossians 1:29 “for which I also labour, striving according to the working of Him who works in me in power.”

It is Messiah who is working in the Apostle Paul, in power. 

Blessings,
Rav Sha’ul (the Nazarene)

We can clearly see how Paul Sides, who teaches as Rav Sh’aul, has manipulated Scripture; removing words, and changing the meaning; which is forbidden by Yahuah.
