Yeshua vs. Marcion: Rediscovering the One True God of Scripture and Covenant
A sacred journey through time and text—where Yeshua walks not apart from the ancient flame, but within it. Here, the God of Sinai and the God of the Cross are one and the same. We trace the golden thread of covenant, woven from Genesis to Revelation, and cast off the shadows of division to behold the beauty of a unified, eternal Name.
Philosophical Comparison: Yeshua vs. Marcion’s Jesus
Aspect | Torah-Observant Yeshua | Marcion’s Jesus |
---|---|---|
Relationship to God | One with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. | Rejects the Hebrew God as a lower, harsh being (Demiurge). |
View of the Torah | Fulfills and honors the Torah; lives it deeply. | Rejects the Torah as flawed and outdated. |
Connection to Israel | Rooted in Jewish identity, feasts, and promises. | Detached from Israel and its traditions. |
Purpose of Salvation | Restores relationship with the Creator through covenant. | Rescues people from the Creator and the material world. |
View of Scripture | Affirms and fulfills the Hebrew Scriptures (Tanakh). | Rejects much of the Bible, keeping only altered texts. |
Human Responsibility | Calls people to covenant faithfulness with grace. | Offers escape without moral responsibility. |
Philosophical Tone | Harmony of justice and mercy, rooted in history. | Dualistic escape from the world, abstract and disconnected. |
Philosophical Reflection for the Heart:
If you’ve ever felt guilt, shame, or confusion because of how harsh “God” was presented—
know that Marcionism still echoes today,
often hiding in teachings that say the Old Testament God is mean, or that the Law is bad.
But the true Yeshua is not at war with the God of Moses.
He is the embodiment of that very God’s mercy and faithfulness.
He did not come to cancel the story of Israel, but to complete it with compassion, purpose, and truth.
So if your soul feels torn between a cold judge and a distant savior—breathe.
That is not the voice of Yeshua.
He is the Good Shepherd who knows His sheep—and who walks fully
in the light of Torah, not in rejectioon of it.
Final Blessing
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם
Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech ha'olam
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who reveals His unity through His Word, and draws us into His everlasting covenant.
May we walk in the light of Yeshua (ישוע), trust the goodness of Hashem (השם), and carry the wisdom of the whole story into every step of our lives.
Shalom and blessings on your journey!
