🔍 What Is Docetism?
Docetism (from Greek dokesis, “appearance”) was an early heresy. It claimed Yeshua never had a real human body — that He only seemed to suffer, die, and rise. It was based on Greek thinking, not Hebrew truth.
🧠 Greek Philosophy at the Root
Docetists believed:
The physical world is evil
Spirit is the only pure thing
So they said Yeshua couldn’t be truly human — just a divine illusion.
This matched Gnostic ideas and Greek dualism — not Torah, not the Prophets, not Yhwh.
❌ They Denied the Flesh
Docetism taught:
Yeshua’s body was fake
His death wasn’t real
His suffering was a show
Some even claimed another person died in His place.
🔥 This Was a Total Rejection of Yhwh’s Plan
Yeshua obeyed Yhwh. He suffered because of that obedience. He didn’t pretend. He was filled with the Ruach — not a spirit pretending to be human.
🏛️ THE CATHOLIC RESPONSE — A DIFFERENT GREEK LIE
The Catholic Church rejected Docetism — but not to return to Hebrew truth.
They rejected one Greek idea with another Greek idea.
✝️ What the Church Said
The Roman Church declared:
Jesus is fully God and fully man (Council of Chalcedon, 451 AD)
God became flesh — Incarnation
His death and resurrection were real because He was “God in a body”
But this too is a lie — just wrapped in fancier Greek words. Torah never said Yhwh becomes a man. That’s Greek mythology — not Hebrew prophecy.
📕 Church Fathers Who Argued
Ignatius of Antioch: Said Jesus’ suffering must be real or communion has no power
Irenaeus: Linked Docetism to Gnostics, defended bodily resurrection
Tertullian: Used Roman logic to argue Jesus had a real human body
But these men weren’t teaching Moses or Jeremiah — they were using Greek and Roman law to defend a man-made religion.
💥 The Real Truth
Docetism and Catholicism are two sides of the same lie:
One says: “Yeshua was only divine, not human.”
The other says: “Yeshua was God and man — at the same time.”
Both reject what Yhwh said:
➡️ “I am El, and not a man.” — Hosea 11:9
➡️ “Yhwh is one.” — Deuteronomy 6:4
➡️ “Yhwh is our Judge... Yhwh will save us.” — Isaiah 33:22
✒️ Final Word
Yeshua was not a god, not a ghost, not both.
He was a man filled with the Spirit of Yhwh — obedient to Torah, hated by the priests, and killed for the truth.
He didn’t fake it. And He wasn’t a divine-human hybrid.
He walked, suffered, and died as a servant of Yhwh — not as a Greek invention.
