The Son is not the Father

There is a fine line between believing that "Jesus is God-in-the-flesh, come to live on earth as a man" and the fact that Y'shua was caused to exist by the Spirit of Yahweh, and was born of a chosen women. Messiah was born of Spirit and Blood (spiritual and physical). We humans have been born of water and blood (physical) but must become born again of His Spirit... do you see the pattern? 

Our Creator did not choose to be born on earth in order to experience the human condition. He was well aware of man's downfall from the beginning, which is why He gave us His Spirit via His Son, Yahshua the Anointed One. The Old Testament tells us in many places of this person to come, but where does YHWH say it is Himself who will dwell on this earth? It is true that His desire is to be in the midst of His people but that's not going to happen again until after the thousand year reign of His Son on this earth.

The Father is not the Son = Y'shua is not God

The Son was caused to exist by the Father 

through His Spirit 

and the water and blood of a woman

The Son is not the Father = Yahweh is not the Messiah

It is by His Son's very life that one can see the glory of the Father in and through him because of YHWH's Ruach haKodesh. His Set Apart Spirit makes them as One - His righteousness is revealed in the flesh.

This same Spirit was given by Y'shua to his twelve Apostles who taught others to become prepared to receive the Ruach haKodesh through salvation, by repentance and immersion. It is this same Spirit we are made ready to receive which makes us One, same as the Father and Son are One. This does not make us gods.

1 Timothy 3:16 ~ The pillar and the foundation of truth, and truly great, is this mystery of righteousness which was revealed in the flesh and righteous in the spirit and seen by Messengers, and proclaimed among the Gentiles, and believed on in the world, and received up into glory.

Yahweh keeps us by His Name (YAH) which He gave to His Son (YAHshua) that we may be One as they are One. When we pray to YHWH in Y'shua's name we are calling on YHWH for Salvation. Y'shua pleads for us because YHWH gave us to him, those who have kept the Word of Elohim. Y'shua is the Word made flesh. As followers of Y'shua we are to walk according to his righteousness, observe the Father's Instructions and walk in the anointing of the Ruach haKodesh as Mashiyach demonstrated for us.

Now, if all this is happening, how could Y'shua possibly be 'God in the flesh'....

Father, sanctify us by your Truth, for Your Word is Truth. 
His Ruach haKodesh is the Spirit of Truth.

John 16:27 ...the Father loves you because you have loved me and you have believed that I have proceeded from the presence of the Father... and have come into the world and will return to the Father.

Matthew 7:21- Not every one that says to me, 'My master, my master', shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. 

What is the 'will of the Father'?

John 6:38- For I came down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of Him who sent me... John 6:40- For this is the will of my Father, that all who see the Son and believe in him, will have life that is eternal. And I will raise him up on the last day.

What is 'will'? : desire, wish

Our Creator desires we see His Son for what he is. No one is able to come to Y'shua unless the Father who sent him draws them to him. Everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to Y'shua. This brings to mind the writings in the Tanakh (Old Testament) and the many references to Y'shua. We learn from the Father and come to understand Y'shua the Messiah in the Renewed Covenant (New Testament) with the help of the Set Apart Spirit who reveals Truth.

Mark 10:18 ~ Y'shua said Why call me good? There is no one good except Elohim.  

John 10:15 ~ Just as my Father knows me and I know my Father...  

29 ~ For my Father who gave them to me is greater than all .... 

30 ~ I and the Father are one (one by His Spirit, not that Y'shua is God)

Recorded in the book of Matthew, even YHWH says Y'shua is His Son.

"Allow it for now as it is proper for us to fulfill all righteousness" and he was immersed and arose from the water - heaven was opened up to him. And then the Spirit of Elohim descended upon him and a voice from heaven said, "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."

His Spirit descended from heaven upon Y'shua, but Yah remained in heaven, from whence His voice was heard.

1 John 4:14 

And we have seen and do testify that the Father has sent His Son, a Redeemer for the world. Whoever confesses Y'shua to be the Son of Elohim, Elohim abides in him and he abides in Elohim. We have believed and known the love which Elohim has towards us: Elohim is Love and whoever abides in love, abides in Elohim. His love is perfected with us so there will be nothing to hide come judgment day.

1 John 5:10 

Whoever believes in the Son of Elohim has this testimony in himself. And whoever believes not, Elohim has made him a liar by not believing the testimony which Elohim has testified concerning His Son. And this is the testimony that Elohim has given to us life eternal and this life is in His Son.

I did a study on this topic a couple of years ago:

The Name above All Names

I am not a Hebrew scholar nor a linguist 

or much of an expert on anything.

I am, however, a follower of Y'shua and read Scriptures 

almost every day.

I am a believer in the one true Elohim, our heavenly Father, 

the Creator.

It was over fifteen years ago that I learned He had a Name, 

Yahweh (YHWH). 

(I always thought His Name was 'God'). 

Then I learned His son's name isn't 'Jesus' but is Yahshua (Y'shua).

I know there are many discussions out there in cyber-land and elsewhere debating the 'spelling of' and 'pronunciation of' these Names. I do not disregard their studies and research but I prefer not to let this be a matter of contention which blinds us to the fact that there is a Name above all names. In my studies and keeping the ancient Hebrew texts in mind, I have come to respectfully call the Father and His Son by their names: Yahweh (YHWH) and Yahshua (Y'shua).

Philippians 2:9

Elohim has highly exalted him and given him a name which is more excellent than all names, that at the name of Y'shua every knee should bow, of beings in heaven and on earth and under the earth and that every tongue should confess that Master YHWH is Y'shua Mashiyach to the glory of Elohim his father.

I agree with Andrew G. Roth when he states:

Y'shua reveals the Name of YHWH, the Name above all names! Y'shua has the Name and the reputation of the Father YHWH within him. Y'shua means 'YHWH is salvation' therefore the Will and Spirit of Yah-weh is manifest in Yah-shua as the Arm of YHWH.

Isaiah 52:10  YHWH will bare His arm in the sight of all the nations, and the very ends of the earth shall see the victory of our Elohim

Isaiah 52:13  Behold, My servant will prosper, he will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted.

Daniel 7:14  And to him was given dominion, glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations and men of every language might serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed.

John 17:11  I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You, Kadosh Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave me, so that they may be one as We are one.

John 17:12  While I was with them, I protected them and guarded them by Your Name, the name You gave me.

Psalm 80:18   Grant Your help to the man at Your right hand, the stem You have taken as Your own.  We will not turn away from You; preserve our life that we may invoke Your Name. O Yahweh Elohim of hosts, restore us; show us Your favor that we may be delivered.
