“That the God
of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of
wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,” Ephesians 1:17 (NKJV)
In
the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.
While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I
heard a pastor say, in the midst of a lengthy prayer, “Jesus Christ, be the
center of this church.” Just prior to
this pastor’s prayer, he took the listening audience on a wonderful tour of the
New Testament, centered on Yeshua’s earthly ministry.
If someone who didn’t know this pastor was present that day,
they would have left knowing what they heard came straight from the inspired
word of God. Those knowing the pastor
teaches Jesus and the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” as being one and the same, also left knowing what
they just heard came straight from the inspired word of God as well.
Everything was said and done in thirty minutes, and the pastor
gave no reason to believe the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” existed at all.
His message was straight from the inspired word of God, and it was all
about the significance of Jesus being the Son of God. I gave God
thanks for every word this pastor had to say, within that thirty minute span of
course. The pastor praying for “Jesus
Christ” to “be the center of this church,” is certainly a step in the right
direction. Getting rid of the
Anthanasian Creed would be the next [best] thing to do.
The woman said to Him, “I know that
Messiah is coming” (who is also called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us
all things.” Jesus said to her, “I
who speak to you am He.” John 4:25-26 (NKJV)
“And to the angel of the church in
Thyatira write, ‘These things says the Son
of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine
brass:’” Revelation 2:18 (NKJV)
It’s comforting to know the inspired word of God leaves me
no choice but to give God thanks whenever I hear someone saying Yeshua is “I
who speak to you am He,” Messiah. The
“Son of God”. Giving the inspired
word of God the final say does guarantee it’s the right thing to do, 100% of
the time. Those looking to “slip” the
Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is
God” into the “mix” however, are left with a 0% chance of it being the
[Biblically] correct thing to do.
When Jesus came into the region of
Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the
Son of Man, am?” So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and
others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and
said, “You are the Christ, the Son of
the living God.” Matthew 16:13-16 (NKJV)
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” agrees
with John 4:25-26 and Revelation 2:18, not the Anthanasian Creed. The Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” isn’t the [Biblically]
correct answer to Yeshua’s question to Peter, “But who do you say that I am”. “The Son is
God” was first introduced to the public in 325-AD.
“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)
“Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” in 1 Peter 1:3 certainly
doesn’t give any reason to believe “our Lord Jesus Christ” is the
Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is
God”.
Peter doesn’t support the
Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is
God” in his writings. Unless you believe
Peter says one thing in one place only to contradict it in another, it must be
so.
There’s no need for me to be concerned about who Messiah
Yeshua is, He’s the Son of
God. Yeshua’s earthly ministry is well
documented, available for all to read, and I totally trust the inspired word of
God.
So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus
said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do
you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He
said to him, “Feed My lambs.”
He said to him again a second time,
“Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?”
He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know
that I love You.” He said to him, “Tend My sheep.”
He said to him the third time, “Simon,
son of Jonah, do you love Me?”
Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And
he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.”
John 21:15-17 (NKJV)
Knowing the Anthanasian Creed [is] the high priest of all
false doctrine, Yeshua’s encounter with Peter in John 21:15-17 helps me in so
many ways. Yeshua’s encounter with Peter
then, keeps me on the path that’s leading [straight] to the kingdom of God.
When Yeshua asked Peter, three times mind you, “Do you
love Me,” I see it as Yeshua asking me the exact same question. I’m certainly not comparing myself to Peter
here, but like Peter I’ve let Yeshua down at times.
How could I say, as Peter did each time, “You know that I
love You,” if I’m teaching the only way for a person to be [Biblically]
saved contradicts Peter’s writings?
Make no mistake about it my friends, the Anthanasian Creeds
[false] method of salvation has absolutely everything to do about nothing.
God bless.
In His Care… Jim
