From One Believer To Another

From One Believer to Another

If this is your first time visiting this blog, “Welcome!”

As you read, I pray you’ll not see me as being angry at anyone. Firm at times with some, I’ll agree with that. I know that no matter what a person has gone through, things they’ve said or done, or still doing for that matter, there’s a 50/50 chance of my having sought forgiveness for doing the exact same thing at one time or another. I know the battle is not against flesh and blood my friend.

Throughout this blog you will find me quoting things heard on the radio. You’ll not find the names of those who said these things in the posts. I do document their names, the date, time, and radio station call sign on my copy of the original document. I do not publish these details because our mission should be to expose the false teachings not to personally attack the person.

If you should continue reading my friend, you will find the Anthanasian Creed being exposed for what it is, a false doctrine. The word of God having the final say. My trusting in He who knows hears and sees all things, the God of the [Bible].

Following Jesus Gets It Done

“We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,” Colossians 1:3 (NKJV)

In the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

It’s no secret that I listen to the local “Christian” radio station.  Today is the 500 Year anniversary of the Reformation.  For the past week, I heard at least twenty times “What does it mean to be a Christian today.”  I heard a lot about Martin Luther, not one thing about what [makes] one a Christian.  Is agreeing with someone “believed” to be a Christian, the basis of labeling oneself a “Christian”? 

I don’t know about you but I know the safest place to look for those [guilty] of following Messiah Yeshua, is in the New Testament.  Shouldn’t [every] “Christian” be in agreement with the writers of the New Testament?  Of course they should, keep in mind the author of Hebrews is unknown.

I have no clue as to who wrote Hebrews but if I were asked to “guess,” I’d say Mary, the mother of Jesus, at the very least, was an eyewitness to that event.   

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard two individuals discussing what they believe to be the significant role the Reformation played in, “church history.”  In the midst of the conversation I heard one say, “The importance of understanding the history of our protestant church movement.”  This individual was encouraging the listening audience to investigate the matter for themselves, since it “affected” everyone’s life.  Did you catch it, “our protestant church movement”?

These two individuals on the radio are followers of the Anthanasian Creed and just like those 500 years ago, fail to see the insignificance of the Anthanasian Creed.

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.” 2 Corinthians 11:31 (NKJV)

“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)


The person taking just a few minutes of their time, to read those words to the left and right of the word “our” in 2 Corinthians 11:31 and 1 Peter 1:3, would know the Anthanasian Creed falls within “the history of our protestant church movement” and, should have been labelled a false doctrine at the time of the Reformation.

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” and “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” are crystal clear.  It’s [Biblically] impossible for the Son of God and the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” to be one and the same.

The person looking to prove otherwise, can’t use the writings of those found in the Hebrew [Scriptures] “the Old Testament,” let alone the New Testament.  There’s no [Biblical] evidence of anyone having to believe the Anthanasian Creed for anything, let alone to be saved.

Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed Him. Mark 1:17-18 (NKJV)

“What makes one a Christian?”  Believing in Him that said “Follow Me” in Mark 1:17, the Son of God who happens to be Messiah Yeshua, gets it done.

The rest is between you and the all-knowing God of the [Bible].  As for me, I know the safest thing one could do is to accept the [Biblical] fact of the inspired word of God enduring forever and not, the doctrines of men.

God bless.

Scripture Supplies All That We Need

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,” 2 Corinthians 1:3 (NKJV)

In the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

There’s no doubt about it, even if only 1% of what those religious “leaders” were guilty of was true, I’d say Martin Luther had every reason to declare “Scripture alone” on October 31, 1517. 

If leading up to that day [everyone] not only believed “Scripture alone” but held to it as well, there’d be no “catholic” or “protestant” churches and, the doctrines of men would be something to avoid.    

Sixteen hundred plus years have passed since the Anthanasian Creed became [doctrine] of the Catholic Church.  In just a couple of days Protestants are going to “celebrate” the 500 year anniversary of the reformation.  

Speaking of “Scripture alone,” where [does] one find the words “the Son is God”?  Knowing they can’t be found in “Scripture alone” the [Bible], I’d say they’re “The Anthanasian Creeds alone.”

The gospel of Jesus Christ is exactly what people need to hear and, “Scripture alone” supplies all that we need.

God bless.

Tell It Like It Is

“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.

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Today there are over 400 Million Christians in Africa.”  Needless to say the speaker on the radio doesn’t know how many “Christians” [there are] around the next corner, let alone in Africa.  Other than looking to impress someone, there’s absolutely nothing to gain by saying “Today there are over 400 Million Christians in Africa.”

What the speaker should have known from the get go, that calling oneself a Christian doesn’t necessarily make it so, would have kept him from saying “Today there are over 400 million Christians in Africa.”  The speaker states it as a fact.

A person would be better off saying “I have no clue as to how many Christians [there are] in Africa, but if I had to guess I’d say over four hundred million.”  There’d be no reason to question the motives of the one saying “I have no clue…,” that person would be telling it like it is.

When it comes to announcing how many Christians [there are] in Africa, let alone around the next corner, I’d avoid putting a number on it if I were you.  Having to explain why one would say such a thing in the first place, could lead to more questions.  Questions concerning, not the number of Christians there are in Africa, but the method used to determine who is, isn’t, a “Christian.”  Was it by show of hands, the end result of a survey, or one on one conversations with “potential” candidates, just to name a few.  Even if one claims to be a “Christian,” does that really mean they are?  God knows for sure.

I’d never do it but if I were asked to put a number on how many Christians there are, I’d say “God knows.”   

The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  Followers of that creed lean on their own understanding.  “Today there are over 400 Million Christians in Africa” is just one example.  They’ll tell you there’s evidence of the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” in the [Bible], when all they have to show for it is written after the fact which is hearsay at best.

I live in the State of New Hampshire where I confess Jesus [is] the Son of God, and the Lord [and] Savior of my life.  I [know] the doctrine of the “Trinity” is directly linked to the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” and like it can only be traced back to 325-AD.  Having said that, would you say rejecting the Anthanasian Creed keeps me from ever being called a Christian in the State of New Hampshire?

It will be an easy out for the follower of the Anthanasian Creed to say “God knows.”  It will be even easier for me to say the Anthanasian Creed had absolutely nothing to do with my becoming a “Christian” follower of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.”

God bless.

Setting The Stage For What Should Follow

“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.

Nothing has caused more people to stray from [Biblical] truths, to false teachings, than the Anthanasian Creeds having to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved.

If you’re teaching a person cannot be saved unless they believe “the Son is God,” you should have a copy of the Anthanasian Creed within reach at all times.  Taking it one step further you shouldn’t have a [Bible] within reach.  The words “the Son is God” aren’t in the [Bible].

The same can be said for the doctrine of the “Trinity,” no need to have a [Bible] nearby for it either.  It’s a byproduct of the Anthanasian Creed and just like it, can only be traced back to 325-AD.

Whatever “evidence” one claims to have supporting the Anthanasian Creed, it’ll be directly linked to those bent on keeping its [false] method of salvation up and running.

If they’re [really] interested in getting it right the first time, followers of the Anthanasian Creed won’t stray from the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].  All they’ll have to offer are the writings of those surfacing after the Anthanasian Creed became doctrine of the Catholic Church in 325-AD.   

Raising the [Bible] high, for all to see, and saying “This is [the] inspired word of God,” sets the stage for what [should] follow.  Sticking with what’s actually written in the [Bible], is the safest thing one could do.  It is unimaginable why anyone would want to stray from “[the] inspired word of God,” absolute truths. 

If you’re teaching the Anthanasian Creeds believe it [or else], false, method of salvation, it’s time for you to establish it as the foundation of your system of belief.

Raise a (printed) copy of the Anthanasian Creed high, for all to see, and say “This single piece of paper is a copy of the Anthanasian Creed (actually a 3 by 5 inch card would be sufficient enough).  Prior to [it] surfacing in 325-AD, having to believe [the Son is God] to be saved wasn’t necessary.”  This sets the stage for what [should] follow. 

The [Bible] doesn’t support the Anthanasian Creeds, “the Son is God.”

God bless.

Trusting It All Day Long

“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.” Ephesians 1:3 (NKJV)

In the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

Becoming a born again believer in Messiah Yeshua, has absolutely nothing to do with believing the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God”.  Taking it one step further, the doctrine of the “Trinity” is superglued to the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God.”  Having to believe either of them has absolutely nothing to do with becoming a born again believer in Messiah Yeshua.  If you’re teaching that one has to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved, as a [Biblical] truth, I wouldn’t do that if I were you.  

Followers of the Anthanasian Creed will tell you that the [Bible] supports it.  It won’t be a problem to prove they’re actually leaning on the teachings of those not mentioned in the [Bible], for all the answers. 

The Anthanasian Creeds “method” of salvation surfaced in 325-AD and, there’s absolutely no reason to believe it’s working in conjunction with what Messiah Yeshua accomplished in the first century.  The events leading up to Jesus’ death burial and resurrection are well documented and we shouldn’t stray from them.  Why anyone would even consider such a thing is, unimaginable.

But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’” Luke 4:4 (NKJV)

And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’” Luke 4:8 (NKJV)

Have you ever heard the phrase, “It is written”?  When I hear it, I immediately think of “Jesus”.  His encounter with Satan in the wilderness (Luke 4:4 and 8).  When I [quote] Jesus’ teachings, I know it’ll be safe to say “It is written” along with it.  For me “It is written” refers to the inspired word of God.  One thing is for sure, I’ll never say “It is written” to anything linked to the Anthanasian Creed.  “Hearsay at best” maybe, but never “It is written”.

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)

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)

“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)

After reading Matthew 27:46, John 20:17 and Revelation 3:12, would you say there are seven good reasons to believe Messiah Yeshua isn’t the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God”?  I would.  It’ll be safe to say Yeshua called the all-knowing God of the [Bible] “My God,” His God, seven times in them, “It is written”. 

To make the words “My God” mean anything but Jesus’ God and the all-knowing God of the [Bible] are one and the same can only happen in the world of imagination.

How about the Anthanasian Creeds [false] method of salvation, what did it take to keep it up and running for the past sixteen hundred plus years?  It took forcing people to believe what can’t be found in the inspired word of God, “the Son is God”.  Those they trusted to teach the truth gave them no other alternative.

Ask anyone from the local “church” that teaches the doctrine of the “Trinity” if becoming a “member” is determined by whether or not an individual has to believe “the Son is God” [or else] to be saved.  You’ll know whether or not they’re trusting the doctrines of men or “It is written” the inspired word of God, if you do. 

If they tell you a person must believe the doctrine of the “Trinity,” you’ll know they’re trusting the doctrines of men.  They wouldn’t be teaching the Anthanasian Creeds believe it or else “method” of salvation in the first place, if they trusted “It is written” Jesus’ teachings to begin with.  If it has anything to do with the Anthanasian Creed my friends, it’ll be hearsay at best.

I don’t know about you but I trust “It is written”.  “Hearsay at best” is after the fact and has to be put to the test.  Looking to see if it’s trustworthy, is the [Biblically] correct thing to do.  Knowing “It is written” endures forever, I’ll trust it all day long.

It’s [Biblically] impossible for the Son of God to be the Anthanasian Creeds, “the Son is God.”

God bless.
