“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.
A friend of mine is reading a book. In this book there is a conversation between two
individuals. One believes Jesus is God. The other because of their upbringing, doesn’t
see it that way. Rejecting God’s plan of
salvation altogether, is more like it. The
one that “doesn’t see it that way” ends up just like the other, believing the
doctrine of the “Trinity.”
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)
Anyone can believe Jesus is God, or the doctrine of the
“Trinity” for that matter, it’s not going to get them anywhere fast. Jesus knowing His brethren’s God and Father
and His God and Father are one and the same, settles the matter. It’s not about what people think and/or believe,
it’s the truth.
I’m not looking to force anyone
into believing anything here, but Jesus is known for telling the truth. I wouldn’t put “Yeah but” after Jesus clearly
establishes His God and Father and His brethren’s God and Father are one and, the
same.
Therefore whatever these individuals have to say about Jesus,
it will not agree with John 20:17. In it
Jesus clearly established His brethren’s God and Father and His God and Father
are one and, the same.
As far as believing Jesus is God goes, there’s not a single
verse of [Scripture] saying it’s so. [True]
followers of Jesus, and Jesus Himself, have the same God and Father. It is [Biblically] impossible to prove
otherwise.
And the Lord God commanded the man,
saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat, but of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat; for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Genesis 2:16-17 (NKJV)
Then the serpent said to the woman, “You shall not surely die.
For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you
will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:4-5 (NKJV)
The first thing I said to my friend is, “You have to listen
very carefully to everything being said/written about Jesus.” I then went on to say, “In the Garden of Eden
Satan twisted the words of God, [Then the serpent said to the woman, You
shall not surely die], and the
rest is Human History.
Neither of these individuals mentioned in the book [truly] believe
the gospel of Jesus Christ. They’re
pushing their own agenda, at the expense of [Biblical] truths. Hearsay at best is all it’ll amount to.”
And Jesus came and spoke to them,
saying, “All authority has been given
to Me in heaven and on earth.” Matthew 28:18 (NKJV)
According to Matthew 28:18, “All authority has been given
to” Jesus. Would you teach Jesus had
this “authority” to begin with?
Not when Jesus is telling me it was given to Him, I wouldn’t.
If you’re saying Jesus is God, how would you explain Him not
having this “authority” to begin with?
I’m talking about being [Biblically] correct here, not according to some
“fairy tale” surfacing after the last entry of the New Testament was recorded.
[Biblically] speaking, you can’t explain it. Only in the world of imagination is such a
thing possible. According to the inspired word of God, God gave Jesus
this “authority.” It is
[Biblically] impossible to prove otherwise.
We can’t give God what rightfully belongs to Him already, can we.
Lest we forget, the Anthanasian Creed surfaced, became
doctrine of the Catholic Church, in 325-AD.
There is no [Biblical] evidence of anyone having to believe [or else]
“the Son is God” to be saved.
The “Son is
God” is a byproduct of the Anthanasian Creed.
The doctrine of the “Trinity” is a byproduct of the Anthanasian Creeds,
“the Son is God.” The Anthanasian Creed, “the Son is God” and the doctrine of the
“Trinity,” can only be traced back to 325-AD.
It is [Biblically] impossible to prove the Anthanasian
Creeds “the Son is God” and
the [Biblical] Jesus are one and the same.
Man’s understanding of [Scripture] maybe, but not one single verse of
[Scripture] saying it’s so.
“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are
little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me
the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are
from of old, from everlasting.” Therefore He shall give
them up, until the time that she who is in labor has given birth; then the remnant of His brethren shall return
to the children of Israel. And He
shall stand and feed His flock in the strength of the
Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord His God.” Micah 5:2-4 (NKJV)
The person saying Jesus was born in “Bethlehem”
thus fulfilling Micah’s prophecy, should see that Jesus feeding “His flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty
of the name of the Lord His God,” puts the
Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is
God” to rest. Jesus feeding His flock “in
the majesty of the name of the Lord His God,” is convincing.
When I hear of someone “converting” to Christianity, the
last thing I should hear from them is that they believe the doctrine of the
“Trinity.” Nothing can be further from
the truth than to say the [true] follower of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” and the
follower of the Anthanasian Creed are one and the same.
“For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes
in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 (NKJV)
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 1 John 4:15 (NKJV)
And you are
Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
1 Corinthians 3:23 (NKJV)
When a person [truly] “believes in Him” Jesus, confess
“Jesus is the Son of God,” they “are Christ’s.” “God abides in” those who confess “Jesus
is the Son of God.” “Christ is
God’s.”
I ask you, what does the Anthanasian Creed have to do with
John 3:16, 1 John 4:15 and 1 Corinthians 3:23?
I say, “Absolutely nothing!”
“Nor is
there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given
among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 (NKJV)
Don’t look to anything else but the [Bible], concerning the
salvation of one’s soul. The local
pastor, priest, or college professor can’t save you, let alone the doctrines of
men. It is my obligation to tell you
Acts 4:12 isn’t referring to the doctrine of the “Trinity,” the [Biblical]
Jesus for sure, and that’s as far as it goes.
If you’re in a conversation, concerning Jesus, make sure
everything said about Him agrees with “He shall stand and
feed His flock
in the strength of the Lord, in the
majesty of the name of the Lord His God.” You wouldn’t want to be fed by anyone else,
would you? You’ll know it’s the
[Biblical] Jesus, if it does.
God bless.
In His Care… Jim
