Against the Flow

“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, “Especially for us who are Christians, we’re going against the flow.”  The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

The speaker’s message was to trust God, and do not fear.  “We’re going against the flow,” is referring to those that have chosen to trust, and believe in, Jesus Christ.

I don’t know about you but if “the flow” includes having to believe [or else] what surfaced and became doctrine of the Catholic Church in 325-AD the Anthanasian Creed, to be saved, I’m going against it.  Just to set the record straight, I’m not forcing anyone to do the same.  It is my obligation to tell you the Anthanasian Creed does not, and will never, “flow” in the direction of God’s plan of salvation.

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” John 14:1-3 (NKJV)

God’s plan of salvation leads everyone to the same place, and it’s not where the Anthanasian Creed leads.  That place is Messiah Yeshua’s shed blood on the cross.  If you’re “flowing” with the events leading up to and including Yeshua’s death burial and resurrection, which is to say walking according to the [Scriptures], fear not, Jesus is preparing a place for you (John 14:1-3).

The Anthanasian Creed, it’s perishing. 

God bless.

In His Care… Jim
