“We give
thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,”
Apostle Saul (who is also called Paul), Colossians 1:3 (NKJV)
In
the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.
Now it happened on one of those
days, as He taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel, that the
chief priests and the scribes, together with the elders, confronted Him and
spoke to Him saying, “Tell us, by what authority are You doing these things?
Or who is he who gave You this authority?”
But He answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one thing, and answer Me: The baptism of
John—was it from heaven or from men?”
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’
He will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ But if we say, ‘From men,’
all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
So they answered that they did not know where it was from. And Jesus said to
them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these
things.” Luke 20:1-8 (NKJV)
As you can see, with the priests’ scribes and elders looking
out for their own welfare, they missed out on a great opportunity. If [they] would have seen John as a prophet, things
would have worked out differently for them.
For one they would have heard the answer to, “Tell us, by what authority
are You doing these things? Or who is he who gave You this authority?”
Jesus spoke these words, lifting
up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come, Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may
glorify You, as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should
give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. And this is eternal life, that they may know
You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”
John 17:2-3 (NKJV)
The [Biblical] Yeshua did know who gave Him this authority,
the Father in heaven who just so happens to be “the only true God”. They however chose not to give Yeshua the
[correct] answer, “From heaven”. The
answer they did give Him however, “that they did not know where it was from,”
was “From men”.
The priests’ scribes and elders [obviously] missed the mark that
day, but we have no excuse. It’s all
right there for everyone to read. After
reading “The baptism of John—was it from heaven or from
men,” would you say “From heaven”?
Not being concerned about what others may think, I would. It is the [Biblically] correct answer to,
Yeshua’s question.
Just like those priests’ scribes and elders then, followers
of the Anthanasian Creed are more interested in looking out for their own
welfare. Seeing the Anthanasian Creeds [false]
method of salvation as anything but “From heaven,” is the [Biblically] correct
thing for them to do. Keeping the
Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is
God” up and running however, forces them to look to those believing the same
for advice. With the year 325-AD
attached to it, it’ll be easy to prove the Anthanasian Creed has [nothing but]
the fingerprints of men all over it.
The [Biblical] Yeshua on the cross:
And about the ninth hour Jesus
cried out with a load voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama
sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
Matthew 27:46 (NKJV)
Walking on earth:
Jesus said to her, “Do not
cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren
and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’” John 20:17 (NKJV)
And in
heaven:
“He who overcomes, I will
make him a pillar in the temple of My
God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which
comes down out of heaven from My God.
And I will write on him My new name.” Revelation 3:12 (NKJV)
Followers of the Anthanasian Creed, those believing “the Son
is God,” the [Biblical]
Yeshua, calling the all-knowing God of the [Bible] “My God” His God seven
times—is it trustworthy? Not being
concerned about what others may think, I say absolutely and, 100% of the time.
God bless.
In His Care… Jim
