“Blessed be
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every
spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.” Apostle Saul (who is also
called Paul), Ephesians 1:3 (NKJV)
In
the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.
While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I
heard a person say, “Never complain about your circumstances, as the children
of Israel did.” The speaker gave every
reason to believe these “children of Israel” complainers are found in the
Hebrew [Scriptures] “the Old Testament”.
I’m not sure but I think the speaker has figured it out, the
significance of learning from past mistakes.
Unfortunately he’s a follower of the Anthanasian Creed and that creed has
absolutely nothing to do with Gentile believers in Messiah Yeshua, let alone
“the children of Israel” the Jewish Community.
“For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a
people for Himself, a special treasure above all peoples on the face of
the earth. The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were
more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples;
but because the Lord loves you, and because He would keep the oath which He
swore to your fathers, the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand, and
redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.”
Deuteronomy 7:6-8 (NKJV)
“For you are a holy people to the Lord your God” the
children of Israel made their share of mistakes alright, but after reading
Deuteronomy 7:6-8 are you willing to question their role in God’s plan of
salvation.
If you’re not interested in repeating the mistakes of
“the children of Israel,” or find yourself repeating them for that matter, I’d
make sure “the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself”
the children of Israel’s God and your God [are] one and, the same.
We can find a number of people in the [Bible] doing things they
shouldn’t have done. Actually we don’t
have to open the bible to discover these things. All we need to do is look in the mirror to
find those guilty of doing the same.
How about the person preaching a message of salvation having
absolutely nothing to do with God’s plan of salvation. Do you think that person should be instructing
others to do as they do and, to believe what they’re saying?
The Anthanasian Creeds [false] method of salvation for
example. The person teaching it as a
“biblical truth,” would you be willing to [totally] accept it as one because
you believe the one teaching it is “qualified” to do so?
As a firm believer [in] Messiah Yeshua it is my obligation
to tell you. There’s nothing a person
could do, accomplish, that’ll make them qualified to teach the inspired word of
God. The inspired word of God is fixed,
stands alone, and it doesn’t need your, my, or anyone else’s, advice.
If the speaker on the radio had paid more attention to God’s
plan of salvation, and put the Anthanasian Creed in the trash bucket where it
belongs, he’d see the God of Israel isn’t encouraging anyone to chase after false
doctrines.
If I were you, I wouldn’t make the mistake of replacing “the
children of Israel” their God’s plan of salvation with man’s idea of what is
best for them.
God bless.
In His Care… Jim
