We Either Believe In Messiah Yeshua Or We Don't, That's It

“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.

What you’re about to read, is the direct result of something I heard on the local “Christian” radio station, after which I sent two questions to the speaker via e-mail.  I received [lengthy] answers to both of the questions.

I swiftly responded to one of the two answers I received according to the inspired word of God, and with love, because the speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  I’m waiting for a subsequent response to it.  The other question however, I’m going to make available for all to read, because no one teaching the Anthanasian Creeds [false] method of salvation as a “biblical” truth should be heard saying such a thing.

Here’s a portion of the response I received from my question concerning the Anthanasian Creeds [false] method of salvation.

“First, in regards to the phrase “catholic church,” this does not refer to the Roman Catholic Church.  The word catholic means “universal.” The true “catholic” church is all those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. 

Second, the Anthanasian Creed demands belief in all of its tenets for salvation.  While most Christian scholars agree with the tenets, it is probably not mandatory to believe that all of them are necessary for salvation.  So if it is an “all or nothing” proposal to believe it all in its entirety or one is not saved is it not probably a good idea to go that far.”

Let’s get this out of the way from the get go, the Anthanasian Creed clearly establishes that unless a person “faithfully” believes each and every word found within it, they “cannot be saved”.  The speaker, in their response agreed, “The Anthanasian Creed demands belief in all of its tenets for salvation”.  I have been saying this all along.

I don’t know who these so called “Christian scholars” the speaker is referring to here, but there’s a 100% chance of them being followers of the Anthanasian Creed.

These so called “Christian scholars,” and the speaker himself for that matter, agree that one does not have to believe the Anthanasian Creed in its “entirety.”   “So if it is an “all or nothing” proposal to believe it all in its entirety or one is not saved is it not probably a good idea to go that far.” 

This in itself is reason enough to put the Anthanasian Creed in its proper resting place, the nearest trash bin. 

This whole thing about the “universal church” noted in the Anthanasian Creed, not being the “Catholic Church” as we know of it today, where does this come from?  I hear followers of the Anthanasian Creed saying it all the time, as they look to justify their false system of belief.  Some even go as far as to say the “universal church” is made up of both “Catholics” and “Protestants” from all around the world.  Yet the Anthanasian Creed was an accepted doctrine well before the Protestant church coming into existence.

For the follower of the Anthanasian Creed to say that the “universal church” and the “Catholic Church” as we know of it today aren’t one and the same, is an attempt on their part to avoid acknowledging the Anthanasian Creed as false doctrine.  With that creed out of the picture, the whole “universal church” and “Catholic Church” thing, isn’t an issue.

A Christian is a [true] follower of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” period.  The local “church” uses whether or not a person believes the doctrine of the “Trinity,” a byproduct of the Anthanasian Creed, as criteria for “membership.”  Rejecting those that have chosen to reject a man-made doctrine, and surfacing in 325-AD the Anthanasian Creed, isn’t Christ like.

As a firm believer [in] Messiah Yeshua I know the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only place to find the answers, as to why we are here in the first place.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”  John 3:16 (NKJV)

We either believe in Messiah Yeshua or we don’t, that’s it.  Some will say “Whoever believes in Him” is [just] to simple.  They believe there are people who are just too evil, thus making it impossible for them to be saved regardless of what they believe in the end.  This would be false.  What they believe in the end matters.  Similarly those believing, unless a person “faithfully” believes “the Son is God” they “cannot be saved,” the Anthanasian Creed is an equally [false] method of salvation.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.  1 John 4:15 (NKJV)

According to John, an eyewitness to the events that took place in the first century, confessing Jesus the Son of God is the [Biblically] correct thing to do (1 John 4:15).

God bless.

In His Care… Jim
