Jesus Christ and Him Crucified

“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 I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:1-2 (NKJV)

In a world bent on silencing [Biblical] truths, including within the walls of earthly institutions called “church,” the safest thing to do is to focus on the only thing that matters, “Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”

If someone was to come along and mention Jesus’ name, identify Him as the one that died on a cross for the sin of the world, and then link Him to something you’re not familiar with, would you automatically assume what they said is [Biblically] sound?  I wouldn’t.

How about something you are familiar with, for example the doctrine of the “Trinity”?  Would you say it’s [Biblically] sound knowing it’s based on the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible]?  The doctrine of the “Trinity” is a byproduct of the Anthanasian Creed, which surfaced and became doctrine of the Catholic Church in 325-AD.  I wouldn’t link it to anything pertaining to “Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not looking to force anyone into believing anything here.  I’m saying the salvation of my soul totally depends on believing, “Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”  That’s the Jesus I’m talking about and the [Bible] tells me everything I need to know, about Him.

People can choose to believe whatever they like, they have the freedom to do so.  I’m interested in whether or not they’ve chosen to believe in “Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”  This keeps me focused on exposing the Anthanasian Creed for what it is, a false doctrine. 

I don’t want them to hear any longer that the only way for them to be saved is found in the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].  The Anthanasian Creeds having to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved method of salvation, is not [Biblically] sound.  It keeps people from seeing that believing in Jesus, the Son of God, which is to say according to the [Scriptures], is sufficient. 

God bless.
