The Father and God of Christ

“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.

And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself. But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.”

Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Acts 16:27-31 (NKJV)

If “what must I do to be saved” involves the Anthanasian Creed, “the keeper of the prison” was in the wrong place and at the wrong time, doomed.  The Anthanasian Creed surfaced and became doctrine of the Catholic Church in, 325-AD.  Neither “the keeper of the prison, Paul” or “Silas,” had to believe [or else] the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” to be saved.  The Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with God’s plan of salvation, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.”

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “The handwriting is on the wall, Christians need to teach Christians.”  The speaker on the radio made it perfectly clear, Christians shouldn’t send their children to public schools.  The speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed. 

Followers of that creed need to more open about their system of belief because “the handwriting is on the wall.”  Proving wrong the Anthanasian Creeds having to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved false method of salvation, won’t be a problem. 

If you’re going to teach the Anthanasian Creed, leave it standing on its own.   

If you’ve attended seminary, left it believing the Anthanasian Creed is [Biblically] sound, you’re just one of the many that have chosen to ignore [Biblical] truths.  If it be the case you shouldn’t be encouraging others to believe, it’s the “Christian” thing to do.

What you’re about to read is taken straight from a conversation I had via E-mail, with a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  The blank space is intentional, the name of the individual I sent it to isn’t the issue here.  The individual does believe “Sacred Scripture” and “Sacred Tradition” which is nothing more than the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible], not [Scripture] alone.

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

“And has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” John is speaking of Yeshua “Jesus” here in Revelation 1:6 (NKJV)

_____, using “Sacred Scripture” and/or “Sacred Tradition” alone, please explain how these three verses make the [Biblical] Jesus and the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” one and the same?  The key words are “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” and “to His God and Father.”

The follower of the Anthanasian Creeds response:

“I see and accept that there are a multiple of verses which refer to the Father as the Father and God of Christ. I see why at on perspective this might suggest that Christ is not divine. The logic seems to be that to say the Father is the God of Christ suggest Christ is not divine because one wouldn’t say God has a God; otherwise there wouldn’t be God.”

As you can see the follower of the Anthanasian Creed admits, “I see and accept that there are a multiple of verses which refer to the Father as the Father and God of Christ.” 

The follower of the Anthanasian Creed took it one step further, saying, “I see why at on perspective this might suggest that Christ is not divine. The logic seems to be that to say the Father is the God of Christ suggest Christ is not divine because one wouldn’t say God has a God; otherwise there wouldn’t be God.”

Followers of the Anthanasian Creed are good at one thing, clinging to the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].  The issue isn’t with“this might suggest that Christ is not divine,” or “The logic seems to be that to say the Father is the God of Christ.”  The Anthanasian Creed forces people to believe that without it they can’t be saved, and that’s a problem. 

God bless.

Christ is God Can't be Done

“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.” Ephesians 1:17 (NKJV)

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

The bible is preached today but not with [Scripture].  For those that believe the Anthanasian Creed, their so called “biblical truths” are nothing more than the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].  Followers of that creed won’t see it that way but there’s no other way to explain what didn’t exist prior to 325-AD; the Anthanasian Creeds that one has method of salvation having to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved.  Don’t confuse the all-knowing God of the [Bible] with the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God,” for nothing could be further from the truth.

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Mark 13:32 (NKJV)

Would you say Jesus knows all things, after reading “nor the Son” in Mark 13:32?  I wouldn’t.  How about the Anthanasian Creeds 100% “God and Man, the Son is God,” would you say it is possible for the Son to be 100% God but not know 100% of what God knows?  I wouldn’t.  It is [Biblically] impossible for the all-knowing God of the [Bible] to not know all things, 100% of the time.

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

Would you say the person confessing “Jesus is the Son of God,” and the Lord and the Savior of their life, and rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is saved?  I would.  I know the Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul.  Unfortunately there is many a local “church” that requires one to believe the Anthanasian Creed to become a “member.”

“I have manifested Your Name to the men You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.” John 17:6 (NKJV)

And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s. 1 Corinthians 3:23 (NKJV)

Just as “They were Yours” is crystal clear, “You gave them to Me” is as well.  True followers of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” those that “have kept Your word,” were known by God, and were in God, but were separated from Him with Adam and Eve’s fall in the Garden of Eden.  Everything was meant to be God’s but He knew people were going to fail, so it was necessary for Him to give us to Jesus as a means to return to Him.

How about “you are Christ’s” and “Christ is God’s,” would you say the writers of John 17:6 and 1 Corinthians 3:23, John and Paul, who happen to be true followers of Messiah Yeshua are “Christ’s”?  I would.  How about Jesus, is there ever a time when He’s not “God’s”?  I wouldn’t give it a second thought if I were you. 

I realize how easy it would be to mistake “Christ is God’s” in 1 Corinthians 3:23, for Jesus is God.  Jesus is the Christ which is to say, Messiah.  Ignoring the [‘s] in “Christ is God’s” to make it “Christ is God” can’t be done.  The verse is correct as written.

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, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us as to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. Ephesians 1:3-6 (NKJV)

Let’s cut to the chase, the Anthanasian Creed is a prime example of replacement theology.  God’s plan of salvation is available for all to see in the [Bible].  It is more than sufficient enough as is, and should be treated that way.

God bless.

Why Would You Replace Him?

“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.

“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)

In the first century the Son of God “Jesus,” died on a cross for the sin of the world.  According to Acts 4:12 which is to say according to the [Scriptures], “there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “I think a theologian is someone who sticks to the scriptures.”  The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  Followers of that creed have one thing in common, they do not stick to the [Scriptures].

If you believe God died on a cross for the sin of the world, you’re more interested in the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible] than the [Scriptures].  Those bent on saying the Anthanasian Creed is [Biblically] sound, could not be further from the truth.  Please tell me you see the problem with saying, “God died.”  The thought of it is terrifying.

If you’re having to explain “God died” with the Anthanasian Creeds 100% “Man” and “God” thing, you are not sticking to the [Scriptures].  With or without the Anthanasian Creed surfacing in 325-AD, there’s no reason to believe “God died,” ever. 

There’s a significant difference between the God of the [Bible’s] salvation and the Anthanasian Creeds.  One is man-made and based on the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible], and the other is God breathed.  Which do you want to trust your future to?

“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:3 (NKJV)

According to the [Scriptures] the true follower of Messiah Yeshua seeks to learn more about “the only true God.”  If you’re interested in learning more about “the only true God,” don’t stray from the teachings of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.”  God’s hand is behind Yeshua’s teachings making their way safely into the twenty first century.  If it agrees with Messiah Yeshua’s teachings, a [Biblical] truth it will be.

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)

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

If you believe “Jesus” took your place on the cross which is to say your sins have been forgiven, and confess “Jesus is the Son of God,” why would you replace Him with the Anthanasian Creed?  Nothing has caused more people to turn from [Biblical] truths to false teachings, than the Anthanasian Creed.

The rest is between you and Jesus’ God and Father.

God bless.

They Couldn't Be Any More Different

“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.

“Whosoever will be saved, before all things, it is necessary that he hold the catholic (i. e. , universal, Christian) faith. Which faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.” The first two sentences of the Anthanasian Creed.

“So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God. And yet they are not three Gods, but one God.”  The origin of the doctrine of the “Trinity,” the Anthanasian Creed. 

“This is the catholic (Christian) faith; which except you believe faithfully and firmly, you cannot be saved.” The last sentence of the Anthanasian Creed.

According to the Anthanasian Creed the person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, and rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, “cannot be saved.”  Anything less would prove the Anthanasian Creed to be a false doctrine, which is exactly what it is.

Anyone can say the Anthanasian Creed is [Biblically] sound, but it doesn’t make it so.  Actually there’s only one way to teach the Anthanasian Creed, if you’re looking to handle it properly that is.  Begin by telling the truth, saying, not a single person had to believe “the Son is God” prior to its birth in 325-AD.  

Jesus spoke these words, lifting up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him.  And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:2-3 (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)

You can say “Jesus” knows “My God” His God and “My Father” Father is “the only true God” because it's [Biblically] impossible to prove otherwise.  It’ll be just as safe to say the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” isn’t [Biblically] sound, knowing the words “the Son is God” aren’t in the [Bible].

If you have the [Bible] in one hand, the Anthanasian Creed in the other, they couldn’t be any more different.

God bless.

Love One Another

“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.

Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 (NKJV)

Let’s get this out of the way from the get go.  “That Day” in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, is referring to the second coming of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.”  “The falling away comes first” has absolutely nothing to do with rejecting the Anthanasian Creed.  However one chooses to separate themselves from the Anthanasian Creed, they’re not rebelling against God’s plan of salvation by doing so.

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “If we knew our bible better we wouldn’t say these things.”  The speaker on the radio gave the names of five people that have [wrongly] predicted the time of Jesus’ second coming, which led him to say “If we knew our bible better we wouldn’t say these things.”

According to the speaker on the radio, in reference to 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, “Many will fall away and hate each other.  These call themselves [Christians] but they’re not believers in Jesus.  This is the great apostasy.”  The speaker then went on to say, “In many churches across the country the word of God is not preached.”  The speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

There’s a good explanation as to why those attending one “church,” accuse other “churches” of not preaching the word of God.  God knows [exactly] how long this has been going on for, but it’ll be safe to say since Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection.

It begins with two people attending the same “church,” having different interpretations of what the [Bible] says about the exact same thing.  Eventually disparaging words are being said by those who were once friends, in some cases by members of the same family because they’ve chosen to take different sides.  [Biblical] truths get lost in the shuffle.  If this division festers, it causes a church to split along the lines of the different interpretations.

There are many [different] denominational “churches” to choose from these days, each believing they are preaching the word of God.  I’d say it’s time to stop trusting in man’s understanding of the [Scriptures].  The word of God is sufficient enough, as is.

I get people having their differences but let’s not lose sight of what really matters, the second coming of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.”  We can have our differences when it comes to earthly matters, like what to wear, what to eat, or opposing political views just to name a few.  If it’s not preparing us for Jesus’ return, don’t give it a second thought.

This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” John 15:12 (NKJV)

Predicting the time of Jesus’ second coming and not loving others as Jesus loved us (John 15:12), if we knew the [Biblical] Jesus better we wouldn’t [do] these things.              

God bless.

Can You Prove it Using Scripture Alone?

“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.

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

As you can see 1 John 4:15 is plain, simple, and easy to understand.  “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.”

Don’t make the mistake of believing Jesus “the Son of God” and the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” are one and the same.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Believing 1 John 4:15 is sufficient enough as it is.  It will keep you from having to search through the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible], where followers of the Anthanasian Creed say the evidence of “the Son is God” is found.

If you believe both “Jesus is the Son of God” and Jesus is “the Son is God” can you justify this using scriptures alone?  What verse of [Scripture] links 1 John 4:15, to the Anthanasian Creeds having to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved?

God bless.

To Say Jesus is the Christ is to Say Messiah

“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.

The Anthanasian Creed surfaced and became doctrine of the Catholic Church in 325-AD.  Its false method of salvation has made its way into the twenty first century, and it continues to have absolutely nothing to do with God’s plan of salvation.  According to that creed a person “cannot be saved” unless they “before all things” believe “faithfully and firmly, the Son is God.”  The greatest mistake one could make is to confuse the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God,” for Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.”

The Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” is 100% “Man” and “God” not being two but “one Messiah,” not the [Biblical] Jesus.  Don’t be fooled by the Anthanasian Creeds use of the word “Messiah,” or anyone else’s for that matter.  The [Biblical] Jesus is the Messiah, and it’s well documented in the [Bible] for all to see.  Proving wrong the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” which is to say the doctrine of the “Trinity,” won’t be a problem.

The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is also called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.” Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.” John 4:25-26 (NKJV) 

Any doubts as to who “The woman” was talking to when she said, “I know that Messiah is coming”?  Anything other than it being Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” would be [Biblically] impossible to prove.  Jesus is not only known for telling the truth He is the Messiah, “Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.” There’s absolutely no [Biblical] reason to believe the Anthanasian Creeds “Messiah,” 100% “Man” and “God” not being two but one is who “the woman” was talking to when she said, “I know that Messiah is coming.”

When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:13-16 (NKJV)

When Jesus said “But who do you say that I am,” in the first century mind you, not a single person would have linked Him to something that’s not found in the [Bible].  Someone previously mentioned in the [Bible] like “John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah or one of the prophets” maybe, but not the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God.”  The words “the Son is God” aren’t in the [Bible].  This in of itself proves “the Son is God” is based on the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].

If you’re ever asked “who do you say that” Jesus is, do the right thing and say Jesus is “the Christ, the Son of the living God.”  It is [Biblically] impossible to prove otherwise.

When it comes to the salvation of one’s soul, the Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with it.  Nothing has caused more people to turn from [Biblical] truths to false teachings than the Anthanasian Creed, since 325-AD that is.

God bless.

Get Jesus

“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.

Does anyone [really] believe the Anthanasian Creeds way of salvation, supersedes God’s plan?  The Anthanasian Creed says unless one believes “the Son is God” which is to say the doctrine of the “Trinity,” they “cannot be saved.”  This in of itself proves the Anthanasian Creeds way only pertains to those that have chosen to believe it since it surfaced and became doctrine of the Catholic Church in 325-AD.

It is my obligation to tell you, everything one needs to know about God’s plan of salvation is found in the [Bible] between Genesis 1:1 and Revelation 22:21.  The Anthanasian Creeds way to salvation, totally depends on the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].

Followers of that creed quote [Scripture], but even they know there’s no actual evidence of Jesus claiming to be God in them.  Don’t confuse man’s understanding of the [Scriptures], for [Biblical] truths.

The follower of that creed wants you to believe “the Son is God,” even though it didn’t exist prior to 325-AD, and that they have the [Biblical] evidence of it being so.  What they’re [really] saying is the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” died on a cross for the sin of the world, when nothing could be further from the truth.

“Even though the words [the Son is God] aren’t in the Bible the evidence of it being so is,” is often heard coming from followers of the Anthanasian Creed.  There’s only one way to explain this, the foundation of the Anthanasian Creed, on which it stands, is found only in the world of imagination.

There’s absolutely no reason to believe the Anthanasian Creed for anything, let alone the only way to salvation.  To become a “member” of the local “church” maybe, but that’s as far as it goes.

God’s plan of salvation is plain, simple, and easy to understand.  Get Jesus.  The [Biblical] Jesus, not man’s idea of who He should be.

God bless.

Jesus is the Son of God 100% of the Time

“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, “If you don’t believe Jesus is God, you cannot be a Christian.”  The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  The Anthanasian Creed surfaced and became doctrine of the Catholic Church in 325-AD, and without it the doctrine of the “Trinity” doesn’t exist.

The speaker would have been better off saying, “Unless one believes the doctrine of the [Trinity] they cannot be a [member] of a church that believes the Anthanasian Creed.”  This in of itself has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul.  “If you don’t believe Jesus is God, you cannot be a Christian,” is not true. 

Not a single person mentioned in the [Bible], from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21, Gentile or Jew, had to believe the Anthanasian Creed for anything, let alone to be a “Christian” true follower of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.” 

If the follower of that creed says believing the doctrine of the “Trinity” is necessary to become a “member” of the local church but not to be saved, they’ll be admitting to the Anthanasian Creed being a false doctrine which is exactly what it is.  The Anthanasian Creed forces its followers to say the only way for a person to be saved is found in it.

“Whosoever will be saved, before all things, it is necessary that he hold the catholic (i. e. , universal, Christian) faith. Which faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.”  The first two sentences of the Anthanasian Creed.

“This is the catholic (Christian) faith; which except you believe faithfully and firmly, you cannot be saved.”  The last sentence of the Anthanasian Creed.

According to the Anthanasian Creed a person “cannot be saved” unless they “faithfully and firmly” believe “the Son is God.”  Don’t forget, without the Anthanasian Creed “the Son is God” which is to say the doctrine of the “Trinity,” doesn’t exist.

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

As you can see there’s a significant difference between the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” and “Jesus is the Son of God” in 1 John 4:15.

Unlike the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” 1 John 4:15 is more than sufficient enough as is.  The Anthanasian Creed requires the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible] to make “the Son is God” so.

If it’s [Biblically] sound to begin with, as it is with “Jesus is the Son of God,” leaving it well enough alone is the safest thing one could do.

People can say the Anthanasian Creed is [Biblically] sound but just like one calling another a “Christian,” it doesn’t make it so. 

One thing is for sure, and this pertains to the inspired word of God, it’s more than sufficient enough as is.  I wouldn’t trust anything else, especially when it concerns the eternal destiny of one’s soul, unless you believe you’d be better off sticking with man’s understanding of the [Bible].

God bless.
