The Average Christian?

“That you may with one mind and with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 15:6 (NKJV)

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

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard two individuals sharing their concerns about the twenty first century “Christian.”  One said to the other, “The average Christian doesn’t know how to answer questions like Jesus being man and divine.  You and I have attended seminary and are qualified to teach them.” 

The two speakers on the radio are followers of the Anthanasian Creed, and that’s [really] all I needed to know.  Hearing them [agreeing] to “The average Christian doesn’t know how to answer questions like Jesus being man and divine” did not sit well with me.  The Anthanasian Creed is behind it all.

If you totally agreed with the God of the [Bible] knowing, hearing and seeing all things, would you be comfortable calling your neighbor an average Christian?  Before judging your neighbor, you should really think about how God knows exactly who [you] are. 

The Anthanasian Creed became doctrine of the Catholic Church in 325-AD, and it comes with a 99.9% guarantee.  The doctrine of the “Trinity” is a by-product of that same creed.  I wouldn’t bet against it if I were you.

Have [you] ever heard, from the same person, the inspired word of God endures forever and cannot change, and it can’t mean what it says?  That’ll be the follower of the Anthanasian Creed because as is, the [Bible] doesn’t work in their favor.

Not a single person has been, nor can ever be saved by the ink it took to write the Anthanasian Creed.  Yet that creed continues to be taught as if [it] was nailed to a cross for the sin of the world, in the first century.

It is my obligation to tell you not to look outside the [Bible], for [Biblical] truths.  If you have attended “seminary,” left believing the Anthanasian Creed a sound doctrine, you’re heading in the wrong direction my friend.  Nothing has caused more people to turn from [Biblical] truths to false teachings, than the Anthanasian Creed.

Let’s take a look at what the gospel of Jesus Christ teaches us.  Keep in mind the gospel of Jesus Christ is found in the [Bible].  This keeps it under the heading of [enduring] forever, and 100% trustworthy.  Cutting to the chase, what Jesus said is good to go forever and 325-AD is no exception to the rule. 

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

“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living waters.” John 7:38 (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)

With Jesus saying “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said” in John 7:38, that He is “the Son of God” in Revelation 2:18, I’d say confessing “Jesus is the Son of God (1 John 4:15)” is the safest thing to do.  One thing is for sure, God’s increase is attached to these things spoken by Jesus.  The evidence of it being so [is] what’s known to us today as 1 John 4:15, “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.”

God bless.

In His Care… Jim
