God Knows

“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.

If you believe Jesus is the same as the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God,” you’re saying God has not told the whole truth.  You might not see it that way because you’ve chosen to believe things that just aren’t true, but it’s true.  In order to make Jesus the same as “the Son is God,” one would have say God didn’t mean what He said at specific events that took place concerning God and, Jesus.

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)

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)

“You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.” Hebrews 1:9 (NKJV)

According to John 17:3 and 20:17, “My God” Jesus’ God is “the only true God.”  In Hebrews 1:9, “Therefore God,” Jesus’ “God, has anointed” Jesus “with the oil of gladness more than” Jesus’ “companions” settles the matter.  Jesus knows God “the only true God,” is His God.

Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.’” Exodus 3:15 (NKJV)

God knows that Jesus knows “the only true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac,” and “Jacob,” is Jesus’ God.  It is [Biblically] impossible to prove otherwise.  “Therefore God, Your God,” is more than sufficient enough evidence as is.

Many false teachings have surfaced, since the Anthanasian Creeds believe it [or else] false method of salvation was birthed in 325-AD.  As examples of it being so, let’s first look at how John 14:9 and 6:46 are misinterpreted. 

Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?” John 14:9 (NKJV)

“Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father.” John 6:46 (NKJV)

Some believe Jesus claimed to be God when He said, “He who has seen Me has seen the Father.”  Jesus also said, “Not that anyone has seen the Father...”  If you would take the time to read John 14:9 and 10 for yourself, you’d find Jesus was explaining that Phillip could see the Father through the works being done through Jesus.  In other words you can see the essence of God through the works of someone who loves God and lives according to His purpose.  Get rid of the Anthanasian Creed, problem solved.

Next we’ll examine John 8:24 and 28.

“Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe I am He, you will die in your sins.”  John 8:24

Then Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.” John 8:28 (NKJV)

Some believe that “If you don’t believe I am He” refers to Jesus saying He is God.  If you’d continue reading through to John 8:28, you’d find Jesus isn’t claiming to be God in John in 8:24 but saying who “He” is, “the Son of Man.”

Finally, Isaiah 9:6 is also used as evidence that Jesus and the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” are one and the same.

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 (NKJV)

“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 5:4 (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)

There’s a significant difference between “His name will be called” and, He is.  The person calling Jesus “Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace,” is fulfilling Isaiah’s prophecy.  It does not define who Jesus is. 

The “Child” that’s mentioned in Isaiah 9:6, is going to “stand and feed His flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord His God.”  That “Child” is Jesus, “the Son of God (Revelation 2:18).”  “The Son of God” Jesus knows “the God of Abraham, Isaac” and “Jacob” is, “His God.”

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

The [Biblical] evidence does not support the Anthanasian Creeds claim that Jesus and “the Son is God” are one and the same.  Obviously God knows “His God” in Micah 5:4 and Revelation 1:6 are referring to Jesus’ God.

The follower of the Anthanasian Creed needs to consider the possibility that the inspired word of God is more than sufficient enough as is before putting the care of their salvation in the hands of those not mentioned in the [Bible].

God bless.
