“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.
In His Care… Jim
