From One Believer To Another

From One Believer to Another

If this is your first time visiting this blog, “Welcome!”

As you read, I pray you’ll not see me as being angry at anyone. Firm at times with some, I’ll agree with that. I know that no matter what a person has gone through, things they’ve said or done, or still doing for that matter, there’s a 50/50 chance of my having sought forgiveness for doing the exact same thing at one time or another. I know the battle is not against flesh and blood my friend.

Throughout this blog you will find me quoting things heard on the radio. You’ll not find the names of those who said these things in the posts. I do document their names, the date, time, and radio station call sign on my copy of the original document. I do not publish these details because our mission should be to expose the false teachings not to personally attack the person.

If you should continue reading my friend, you will find the Anthanasian Creed being exposed for what it is, a false doctrine. The word of God having the final say. My trusting in He who knows hears and sees all things, the God of the [Bible].

Telling

I believe that Jesus ascended to His God and Father. My focus is on Jesus and what He spoke. In John 20:17 (NKJV) Jesus said, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” Jesus’s ascension to His God and Father is very well documented in the Bible. There’s no actual evidence of Jesus claiming to be God. The Anthanasian Creed made known “the Son is God” in AD 325. Your answer to the following question will be telling. Do you want to trust the doctrine of the “Trinity”? God bless. In His Care… Jim

Jews and Jesus

I’ve been hearing on the radio about speaking to Jews about Jesus. The short answer is, treat them the same way you would want them to treat you. The long answer is, make absolutely sure that you’re presenting Jesus just as laid out for us in the Scriptures and not from the viewpoint of the current generation. Personal testimonies regarding how you came to believe in Messiah Jesus, whether you are a Gentile or Jew, is a helpful tool. Always tell the truth about Jesus, yes even if you just quote verses of Scripture. God bless. In His Care… Jim

No Title

When we don’t rely on our own ability, and just trust God, we’ll see how it is that all we really need is Jesus.

All Things End Well

One should avoid having to ponder if the Bible is meaningful today, because it most certainly is. The Bible is a book of real people, encountering a real God. The Bible is where you’ll find the story of Jesus, which cannot be shaken. It says don’t give the devil a foothold, because the devil is a liar “and the father of them,” John 8:44 (NKJV). What Jesus spoke then, shakes things up for us now and shows us the difference between things that are Christ-like and those that are not. The Bible is crystal clear as to how we are to treat others, and it’s based on how we treat Jesus’s teachings. The God of the Bible is sovereign, and for those that love Him, all things end well. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Telling Others The Truth About Jesus

I heard on the radio that you have to come to church committed to apply what you have heard. This would imply that as you make your way to church you should have your mind made up that everything that will be taught there is going to be helpful to you. Actually, there is some truth to this, and it all depends on your knowledge of who Jesus is. The question is, will what you’re about to hear be biblically based on Scripture alone, man’s understanding of Scripture, or a mixture of the two? I visit different churches and most of the time the message I hear is scripturally sound, and is most helpful to me. I’ve also heard messages that are lifting up “the Son is God,” and because I know the Bible doesn’t support it, it’s also helpful to me. If you spend any time at all on this blog you’ll see how I use it to expose the Anthanasian Creed for what it really is, a false doctrine. Even in that creed you’ll find things said about Jesus that are true, but don’t leave it at that, because it goes on to clearly state that unless one believes “the Son is God” one “cannot be saved.” So, having an understanding of who Jesus is based on Scripture alone, it doesn’t matter what’s being said about Jesus, in church or outside church, it’ll be helpful in telling others the truth about Jesus. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Speak Well About Jesus

Have you heard a reason given as to why the Scriptures can’t be trusted these days is the many translations of the Bible? I have come to know and believe that Paul the Apostle’s writings are helpful during these times. “What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:18 (NKJV). There’s no better way to communicate the Scriptures, than to speak well about Jesus. God bless. In His Care… Jim

This book was born from a situation where a child was anxious about going to summer camp in the midst of a pandemic. The author, among others, was asked if he wanted to write and send an encouraging letter to this child at camp. It was out of this situation, that What You See At The Park came to life. Anyone can be anxious when facing the unknown but it is the author’s prayer that thru this book you will see something new when facing these moments. This is a book with a message that children of all ages need today. All of my books are available at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and Authorhouse.com.

Jesus is the Son of Man

In the [great] number of conversations I’ve had with followers of the Anthanasian Creed, the words “If you do not believe I am He” in John 8:24 are often said, by them. They’ll tell you that unless [you] believe “I am He” is referring to God, “you will die in your sins”. Their goal is to convince others that Messiah Yeshua is claiming to be that “God” in John 8:24.

As you’ll soon see, the [Biblical] Yeshua settled the matter not long after He said “if you do not believe I am He, you will die in your sins” (John 8:24), in John 8:28.

Then Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.” John 8:28 (NKJV)

Why Didn't Jesus Correct Thomas?

It Happens in an Instant

It doesn’t take twenty four hours, thirty days, or years of classroom training to be saved. It happens in an instant. After reading Luke 23:39-43, how long did it take for you to see that one of the two “criminals” was saved? I believe someone got saved today, in the time it took for you to read Luke 23:39-43. They may not have ever heard of the Anthanasian Creed, the doctrine of the “Trinity” or that some believe Jesus is God, but they are saved.
