“Blessed be
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant
mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead,” 1 Peter 1:3 (NKJV)
In
the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.
Followers of the Anthanasian Creed believe there’s only way
for a person to be saved. If you were to
ask a follower of that creed is it possible for the person [totally] rejecting
the Anthanasian Creed to be saved, they have no choice but to say no.
In case you didn’t know, I once
believed those teaching the Anthanasian Creeds method of salvation (decades
ago). When it was all said and done
however, and by the grace of God, knowing now it’s a false one, I only had
myself to blame.
Those believing the Anthanasian Creed are convinced that unless
a person “faithfully”
believes “the Son is God”
they “cannot be saved”. This [newly] found method of salvation, adopted
in 325-AD, is found in the closing sentence of that same creed. It clearly states unless a person believes everything
documented in it, they “cannot be
saved”. Without the Anthanasian
Creed the “Christian doctrine” of the “Trinity,” doesn’t exist.
Since there is no actual [Biblical]
evidence of “the Son is God,”
followers of that creed are [forced] to search elsewhere for support. This is where followers of that creed enter
into the picture. Without them, the
Anthanasian Creed would have been put in the nearest trash bin a short time
after it surfaced in 325-AD; its proper resting place.
Someone wrote the Anthanasian
Creed, other’s agreed to [it], and [it] became the doctrine of the Catholic
Church, in 325-AD. If actual [Biblical]
evidence of [it] could be found, wouldn’t leaving God’s plan of salvation well
enough alone be the appropriate thing to do?
The [only] support system the
Anthanasian Creed has, is based on hearsay at best. Man’s understanding/interpretation of
[Scripture].
It doesn’t matter how the follower of that creed answers
this question “Is it possible for the person [totally] rejecting the
Anthanasian Creed to be saved?” It will
prove they trust in a system of belief that has absolutely nothing to do with
the inspired word of God.
If they say the person rejecting
the Anthanasian Creed can be [Biblically] saved, this contradicts the
Anthanasian Creed its followers teach.
Therefore the follower of the Anthanasian Creed is [forced] to say the
person rejecting it, cannot be saved.
For them to say a person “cannot be saved” unless they “faithfully” believe in what
surfaced in 325-AD as what the last sentence of that creed [forces] its
followers to do, puts the inspired word of God at the mercy of what was adopted
in 325-AD.
If you’re looking for something that’s fail-proof,
concerning the salvation of one’s soul, look no further than the teachings of
the [Biblical] Yeshua. Keep in mind, the
last entry of the New Testament occurred near the end of the first century. Between that time and the Anthanasian Creed
becoming what it is today, lies a gap of nearly two thousand years. Plenty of time for man to conjure things up,
looking to satisfy their own needs. The Anthanasian
Creed isn’t the only false doctrine to surface, since the last entry of the New
Testament. There’s plenty more. What separates the Anthanasian Creed from the
rest, is its followers claim a false method of [salvation] to be a [Biblical]
truth. Nothing can be further from the
truth.
Forgetting that the inspired word of God endures forever, leaves
the door wide open for falsehoods such as the Anthanasian Creed to surface. The sooner the Anthanasian Creed, written
after the last entry of the New Testament, is recognized as hearsay at best, [Biblical]
truths will surface.
“Therefore
whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father
who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before
My Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 10:32-33 (NKJV)
Jesus said to him, “I am
the way, the truth, and the life. No
one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6 (NKJV)
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)
According to the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua, what we
confess to matters. Yeshua is [the] only
way to the Father (John 14:6) who just so happens to be Yeshua’s God [and]
Father (John 20:17). For the person
confessing these things, Yeshua will [not] deny before “My Father,” His Father (Matthew 10:32-33).
I believe we can all agree Matthew 10:32-33, John 14:6 and
20:17, are found in the inspired word of God.
As a firm believer [in] Messiah Yeshua I see these as being plain, simple,
and easy to read. Working in perfect
harmony with one, another. How about
you?
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the
Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:15 (NKJV)
Would [you] say the person like myself, [confessing] the
[Biblical] Yeshua the Son of
God (1 John 4:15), rejecting the Anthanasian Creed altogether, cannot be
saved?
God bless.
In His Care… Jim
