From One Believer To Another

From One Believer to Another

If this is your first time visiting this blog, “Welcome!”

As you read, I pray you’ll not see me as being angry at anyone. Firm at times with some, I’ll agree with that. I know that no matter what a person has gone through, things they’ve said or done, or still doing for that matter, there’s a 50/50 chance of my having sought forgiveness for doing the exact same thing at one time or another. I know the battle is not against flesh and blood my friend.

Throughout this blog you will find me quoting things heard on the radio. You’ll not find the names of those who said these things in the posts. I do document their names, the date, time, and radio station call sign on my copy of the original document. I do not publish these details because our mission should be to expose the false teachings not to personally attack the person.

If you should continue reading my friend, you will find the Anthanasian Creed being exposed for what it is, a false doctrine. The word of God having the final say. My trusting in He who knows hears and sees all things, the God of the [Bible].

Your Relationship with Jesus


Grace, mercy, and truth will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 2 John 3 (NKJV)

In the only name given among men by which we must be saved, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Your relationship with Jesus depends on what you do with the bible.”  The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

I believe the follower of the Anthanasian Creed would agree, as I do, that this statement is true.  Where we differ, is in what we did with the [Bible].

Would you say the person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, and rejecting the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is saved?

I would say the person is saved.  The follower of the Anthanasian Creed would have to say the person is not saved.  The disconnect is the result of what we each individually did with the [Bible].

God bless.

Learn to Recognize What Is Not Supported by the Bible


Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  1 John 5:5 (NKJV)

In the only name given among men by which we must be saved, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Find a biblical, bible believing church.”  The speaker on the radio was implying that a “bible believing church” preaches the gospel of Christ in truth.  The speaker was encouraging others to be a good witness, having heard this truth and thus knowing the gospel of Jesus Christ.  The speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

Whenever, wherever the Anthanasian Creeds believe it [or else] false method of salvation is heard, give credit to the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].  There’s a good reason to disbelieve the Anthanasian Creeds false method of salvation, “the Son is God” didn’t exist prior to its birth in 325-AD.  Without the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible] the Anthanasian Creed, and thus the doctrine of the “Trinity,” doesn’t exist.

“Find a biblical, bible believing church” is sound advice, as long as the one saying it believes the [Bible] is more than sufficient enough as is and can recognize what is not supported by the [Bible].  Anything less leaves the door wide open for false teachings to creep in.  Left unchecked, the so called “bible believing church” is gradually teaching non-biblical truths and leading people away from God’s intended message.

“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)

Jesus is the triumphant centerpiece of God’s plan of salvation.  Whoever believes in” Jesus, according to the [Scriptures], is saved.  “The Son is God” is merely the centerpiece of the Anthanasian Creed.  The words “the Son is God” aren’t in the [Bible].

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

The person confessing “Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.”  As you can see the [Biblical] evidence points to the [Biblical] Jesus being the Son of God.  The blessing to believing Jesus is the Son of God is that “God abides in him.”  Don’t make the mistake of believing the [Biblical] Jesus and the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” are one and the same, nothing could be further from the truth.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6 (NKJV)

I confess “Jesus is the Son of God,” and reject the Anthanasian Creed altogether.  I would say “the bible believing church” should trust Jesus when He said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

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)

Taking it one step further the God and Father of Jesus’ brethren and Jesus’ God and Father are one and, the same.  I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God” is plain, simple, and easy to understand.  With or without the Anthanasian Creed, the God and Father of Jesus’ brethren and Jesus’ God and Father are one and the same.

“Find a biblical, bible believing church” that preaches the gospel of Christ in truth and learn to recognize what is not supported by the [Bible].  Begin with understanding that the Anthanasian Creed has nothing to do with God’s plan of salvation for you.

God bless.

According to Jesus


Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  1 John 5:5 (NKJV)

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

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)

Some believe Jesus claimed God in John 14:9, when He said “He who has seen Me has seen the Father.”

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?” He answered and said; “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?” And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.” John 9:35-37 (NKJV)

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

It is safe to say because “Jesus said to him, You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you,” Jesus wants us to believe that He is “the Son of God.”  What Jesus said then, is just as good for us today.  Those believing Jesus claimed to be God in John 14:9 should believe Jesus, when He said “Not that anyone has seen the Father” in John 6:46.  It’ll keep them from having to explain how things like the Anthanasian Creed keeps people from seeing the simplicity of God’s plan of salvation.  Its followers of the Anthanasian Creed that say Jesus claimed to be God, in John 14:9.

If you’re interested in telling others about the [Biblical] Jesus, don’t give them a reason to believe the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” points to the [Biblical] Jesus.  According to Jesus, telling others Jesus is “the Son of God” is the safest thing one could do.

On the next day, which followed the Day of Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate, saying, “Sir, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise.’ Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead.’ So the last deception will be worse than the first.” Matthew 27:62-64 (NKJV)

Saying the Anthanasian Creed is [Biblically] sound is to say the events leading up to and including Jesus’ death burial and resurrection, was deceptive.  The Anthanasian Creed forces you to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved.  This is a false method of salvation.

When you say the Anthanasian Creed is [Biblically] sound you are saying Jesus does not want us to believe He is “the Son of God.”  Have the writers of the [Bible] been misleading us from the get go?

If you are saying unless one believes “the Son is God” one cannot be saved, you’re saying Jesus’ disciples “come by night and steal Him away pulled off the greatest heist of all time.  You are buying into the deception the Pharisees predicted.  Taking it one step further, you’d have to believe the writers of the New Testament and not the Anthanasian Creed, deceived us. 

The New Testament is trustworthy so there’s absolutely no reason to believe the Anthanasian Creed for anything.  Don’t let it keep you from seeing the simplicity of God’s plan of salvation.

It is my obligation to tell you nothing has caused more people to turn from [Biblical] truths to false teachings, than the Anthanasian Creed.

I ask you now, would you say the person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, and rejecting the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is saved?

The one answering this question with “This person is not saved,” is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

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

As one rejecting the Anthanasian Creed altogether, I say the person confessing “Jesus is the Son of God,” the Lord and the Savior of their life, is saved.  Not because I say it’s so but because the [Bible] tells me so.  This is the truth and it’s [Biblically] impossible to prove otherwise.

God bless.

Take Jesus Seriously


Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  1 John 5:5 (NKJV)

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

“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)

Those that don’t take Jesus seriously are willing to believe anything, even to the point of making false accusations about Jesus.  The follower of the Anthanasian Creed for example says Jesus claims to be God in the [Scriptures] when we can see here that Jesus wants “the church in Thyatira” to believe He is, “the Son of God.”

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 the person confessing “Jesus is the Son of God,” is right with God.  So what role does the Anthanasian Creed play in God’s plan of salvation?  Other than the [Bible] exposing it a false doctrine, absolutely nothing.

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Mark 1:1 (NKJV)

It is my obligation to tell you to take “the Son of God,” Jesus, seriously.

God bless.

What Shall We Do?


“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.

Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” And Jesus said to him, Assuredly, I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.” Luke 23:42-43 (NKJV)

The Anthanasian Creed forces people to believe it’s the only way to salvation, when nothing could be further from the truth.  The Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul.  To tell the truth, it was followers of that creed that caused me to doubt it in the first place.  They can’t explain it and teach that it is a mystery but at the same time they tell you if you do not believe it, you can’t be saved.  It was this contradiction that set me on this journey.  Even they know Jesus said “Assuredly, I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise,” well before that creed was birthed in 325-AD.

As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.” John 15:9-10 (NKJV)

Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” John 6:28-29 (NKJV)

Telling others Jesus died on a cross for the sin of the world and believing in Jesus is the best decision one could make.  Tell it like it is.  The key to telling the truth however, is to do so in love.  We shouldn’t have to force people to believe anything.  As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you” is plain, simple, and easy to understand.  Believing “in Him whom” God “sent,” Jesus, This is the work of God.”

There’s every reason to believe the thief on the cross is with Jesus simply by saying “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”  Luke 23:42-43 disproves the Anthanasian Creed.

It is my obligation to tell you until one believes their salvation [totally] depends on what Jesus accomplished on the cross, they’ll continue to use the [Bible] and other doctrines to teach what is false.  Don’t forget about those that witnessed Jesus’ death on the cross, if you’re saying unless one believes the doctrine of the “Trinity” one cannot be saved.  Without the Anthanasian Creed the doctrine of the “Trinity,” doesn’t exist.

God bless.

The Race Card


“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.

Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.” Acts 10:34-35 (NKJV)

If the card you’re holding is the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the kingdom of God is the prize, you’ll run the race knowing “God shows no partiality.”  Cling to the card that you’re holding, it will get you across the finish line safely.

God bless.

The Whole, Undistorted


“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.

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “If you teach the part without the whole, the part gets distorted.”  My first thought after hearing it was if the goal is to make an apple pie and you have no apples, it’s time to move on to something else.  I would suggest that people, like the speaker, that teach part without the whole allow for the whole to be distorted, in this case the inspired word of God.  The speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed. 

The Anthanasian Creed [forces] one to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved.  The fact of the matter is this false method of “salvation” can only be traced back to, 325-AD.  The followers of the Anthanasian Creed use it to pull “parts” of the [Bible] out of context in order to make “the Son is God,” thus dangerously distorting the “whole” message of salvation.  For those that have chosen to believe the Anthanasian Creed, all they have to offer is what they have created here on earth.

The inspired word of God points us [directly] towards Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection.  The last entry of the New Testament occurred near the end of the first century and the [Bible] as a whole is 100% trustworthy, as is.  God’s increase is guaranteed, whenever it’s treated as such.

Don’t be fooled by anyone’s attempt to link the Anthanasian Creed to the events that took place during [Biblical] times.  Proving the Anthanasian Creed wrong, won’t be a problem.  The evidence of its existence in the first place, is only the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].  Even the follower of that creed acknowledges the words “the Son is God” are not in, the [Bible].

The Anthanasian Creed’s false method of salvation as a whole distorts [Biblical] truths.

God bless.

Many Other Signs


“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.

And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. John 20:30-31 (NKJV)

Who would you say is [qualified] to write about these “many other signs” that Jesus did?  Signs that are not spelled out in detail in the [Bible].  For obvious reasons it would have to be someone that witnessed “many other signs” for themselves.  Anything else would be hearsay at best.  Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples” is plain, simple, and easy to understand.  All that one needs to know about Jesus, is in the [Bible].

I know the [Bible] is more than sufficient enough as is and not knowing about these “many other signs” that Jesus did, doesn’t change a thing.  Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.”

God bless.

Thank God


“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)

There’s a significant difference between having to believe something to be a “member” of an earthly institution called “church” and to be saved, the benefit of being saved is to spend eternity with Jesus.  If you’re saying one cannot be saved unless one believes something, it better be believing in Jesus alone because “there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”  I pray God, you see the difference.

Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgement.” John 7:24 (NKJV)

You’ve probably heard the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”  The same should be said about people’s view of the world.  Do not judge” what you’re hearing by the one who’s delivering it, but give the word of God the final say.  In other words, “judge with righteous judgement.”

For example the follower of the Anthanasian Creed uses it as a means to “membership” in the earthly institution called “church,” and “membership” is profitable.  They’ll be the first to tell you unless one believes the doctrine of the “Trinity” one cannot be saved, when nothing could be further from the truth.  Why anyone would put the Anthanasian Creed in the position of having the final say, concerning the salvation of one’s soul, is beyond comprehension.  The problem is compounded by requiring such a belief in order to become a “member.”

I firmly reject the Anthanasian Creed.  If someone was to say to me “You shouldn’t say that,” I’d know this individual needs to hear the truth about the Anthanasian Creed.  The Anthanasian Creed is born of the world, and profits me nothing.  No one has to believe the Anthanasian Creed for anything, let alone their salvation.  It is not something I’ve conjured up, the [Bible] tells me so.  Taking it one step further without the Anthanasian Creed, the doctrine of the “Trinity” doesn’t exist.

When it comes to the Anthanasian Creed, which surfaced and became doctrine of the Catholic Church in 325-AD, there’s only one thing I need to know about it.  Without the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible] the Anthanasian Creed does not exist.  In every situation I may find myself in, concerning the Anthanasian Creed, I am 100% confident I stand on the truth.  I know the follower of that creed will supply evidence to the contrary, but their evidence will only prove the Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with God’s plan of salvation.  They are simply blind to the truth.

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

The follower of the Anthanasian Creed has no choice but to say the one confessing “Jesus is the Son of God,” the Lord and the Savior of their life, and rejecting the Anthanasian Creed altogether, isn’t saved.  Anything less from them would prove the Anthanasian Creed to be exactly what it is, the high priest of all false doctrines.

It is my obligation to tell you that the inspired word of God endures forever, and it is sufficient enough as is.  If you believe the only way to salvation is found in the inspired word of God, which is to say believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved, don’t let anything come between you and the [Bible].  The Anthanasian Creed reduces the word of God to a mere form of commentary, not an absolute. 
  
Thank God the events leading up to and including Jesus’ death burial and resurrection, are greater than those that took place in 325-AD.  The person confessing “Jesus is the Son of God,” the Lord and the Savior of their life, and rejecting the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is saved.  To say they’re not is to say you know better than God.

God bless.

Don't Give Any Reason that May Mislead


“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.

“Look” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.” Daniel 3:25 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “And the fourth was like the son of the gods.”  The speaker on the radio was referring to, Daniel 3:25.  The speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

Imagine it’s Monday and Cathy is at work.  With a (just purchased) bible open to Daniel 3:25 before her and the notes she took the day before, she sits at her usual table for lunch.  The day before Cathy had visited the local church, after a ten year hiatus, where she heard what I just heard on the radio.  She left interested in learning more about these “four men,” “walking in the midst of the fire,” while believing as taught that Jesus was one of them. 

Going back and forth, from the notes she took the day before and the [Bible], Cathy is confused.  Cathy can’t find the words “”the sons of the gods,” in Daniel 3:25.  Nor on the internet, as she searches other versions of the [Bible] for them.

A few of Cathy’s friends, having noticed Cathy’s unusual routine, and her lunch left untouched, approached Cathy.  “Cathy, are you okay?” questioned one of Cathy’s friends.   

“We only have ten more minutes before having to get back to work and you haven’t touched your lunch.  What’s going on?” said another. 

“I went to church yesterday and heard about Jesus and these three men in a fire.  You heard it correctly,” she said somewhat uncomfortably.  “I went to church.  The pastor encouraged us to take notes, and I did but something the pastor said isn’t in the bible and I know I wrote it down correctly.  I bought this bible with the hopes of learning more about it, and now I’m wondering if I got the wrong one,” said Cathy.

“Cathy, he’s the pastor.  I am sure he knows what he is talking about,” responded her friend hopefully.

It is my obligation to tell you to not give anyone reason to believe something is in the [Bible], when it isn’t.  People do listen, and some actually investigate the matter for themselves while others will mistakenly just take your word for it.

God bless.

Lean Not On Your Own Understanding


“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.

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “How can we find in the word of God how to have great faith?”  The speaker on the radio was referring to, Romans 10:17.

The speaker gave a number of ways, found in the word of God, to have great faith.  He summed them up by saying, “Don’t trust in ourselves and lean on our own understanding.”  I would suggest that people, like the speaker, do lean on their own understanding of the [Scriptures].  The speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

I would teach, having rejected the Anthanasian Creed, the [Bible] is more than sufficient enough as is, and would say, “We can’t lean on our own understanding of the [Scriptures] in any situation.”

What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.  Philippians 1:18 (NKJV)

Nevertheless, I “will rejoice” each and every time a follower of the Anthanasian Creed or anyone else for that matter, quotes [Scripture].  Paul, the writer of Romans 10:17, also gave us Philippians 1:18.  I do pray people will realize the difference between [Biblical] truths and man’s understanding of them.  Don’t confuse [Biblical] truths, for the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].  [Biblical] truths can only be found in the word of God, the [Bible].  [Biblical] truths endure forever.

When it comes to the Anthanasian Creeds having to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved “method” of salvation, there’s nothing truthful about it.  People can choose to believe, by faith, the Anthanasian Creed is [Biblically] sound but just like one calling another a “Christian,” it doesn’t make it so.  There’s no reason to believe the Anthanasian Creed for anything, let alone the only way to salvation.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)

Romans 10:17 is plain, simple, and easy to understand.  Whatever it is you’ve chosen to listen to, make sure it’s coming straight from the word of God.  If you’re not sure, treat it as hearsay at best until you subject it to the word of God and determine that it is fully supported by Scripture alone.  The word of God is more than sufficient enough, as is.  Lean not on your own understanding.”

God bless.

The Origin of Truth


“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.

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Jesus is the origin of truth.”

The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  If the speaker trusted the word of God from which Jesus is known for telling the truth, he wouldn’t say “Jesus is the origin of truth.”

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)

If you’re encouraging others to read the [Bible], give them every reason to believe it’s more than sufficient enough as is as well.  John 20:17 for example is telling us Jesus’ brethren’s God and Father and Jesus’ God and Father are one and, the same.  I’d say it’s [Biblically] impossible to prove otherwise, because Jesus is known for telling the truth, and it should be kept that way.

Jesus answered them and said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.” John 7:16 (NKJV)

“He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.” John 14:24

Jesus said “My doctrine is not Mine” and, “the word which you hear is not Mine.”  Would you say Jesus is the “origin” of this “doctrine” and, “the word which you hear”?  I’m saying the rightful owner is Jesus’ God, and Father.  He is the “origin” and there is no other God!

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)

Jesus said “I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things,” this alone proves Jesus is not “the origin of truth.”  The speaker would be better off rejecting the Anthanasian Creed. When it comes to the word of God, the [Bible], and the Anthanasian Creeds having to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved false method of salvation is nowhere to be found.  Without the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible], there’d be no evidence of “the Son is God” existing at all.

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)

It is safe to say Jesus’ Father, the God of the [Bible], knows hears and sees all things.  If “Jesus is the origin of truth,” wouldn’t Jesus be the only one knowing “that day and hour” (in the first century).  It is obvious that He is not.  I have a hard time believing the God of the [Bible] would “as My Father taught Me,” teach Jesus to say “But of that day and hour no one knows, but only the Father” knowing it would force Jesus to lie.

Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.  1 Corinthians 15:28 (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)

Then the Son Himself,” Jesus, “will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him,” God.  Jesus “shall stand and feed His flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord His God.”  The key words are “the Son Himself will also be subject to Him” and, “the Lord His God.”

“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)

Jesus is the Son of God, not “the Son is God,” and only the one “true God” is the “origin of truth.”  The Anthanasian Creed, is the problem.

God bless.

“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.

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Theological error is a danger to us.”  If that was true, and it is, I’d expect the speaker on the radio to agree with God.  “Theological error” occurs when one chooses to second guess what God knows to be, best for us.

The speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  The speaker believes the person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, and rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, isn’t saved.    

And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last. Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. So when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of God!” Mark 15:38-39 (NKJV) 

The Anthanasian Creed, which surfaced in 325-AD, well after the veil “was torn in two from top to bottom,” is in a league of its own.  Nothing has caused more people to turn from [Biblical] truths to false teachings, than the Anthanasian Creed.  The Anthanasian Creeds having to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved false method of salvation, is “theological error.”

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6 (NKJV)

Jesus is the centerpiece of God’s plan of salvation and when “the veil was torn in two from top to bottom,” it left Him standing alone.  Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life.”  Taking it one step further, “No one comes to the Father except through” Jesus.  To stray from the events leading up to the events themselves, Jesus’ death burial and resurrection, is to stray into dangerous territory.

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

It is safe to say that without God’s plan of salvation, 1 John 4:15 doesn’t exist.  1 John 4:15 is plain, simple, and easy to understand.  The person confessing “Jesus is the Son of God” agrees with God, which is to say saved according to the [Scriptures].

The Anthanasian Creed forces people to believe it defines a person’s salvation.  If you believe the Anthanasian Creed, you’d be in error to say that it does not define a person’s salvation.          

God bless.

"Blessed are..."


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

Evil says “has God really said…”

Evil demands justice without realizing it’s the problem

Evil looks to silence others [forcibly], while claiming free speech

Evil goes to great lengths to justify what hatred creates

Evil is saying something isn’t, when it is

Evil is hurtful, the worst it can be

Evil is unimaginable horror

Evil uses emotions to come up with the truth

Evil offers no forgiveness

“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:7-10 (NKJV)

Matthew 5:7-10 is, trustworthy.

God bless.

Either the Bible is Enough, or It Isn't


“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)

“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,” Apostle Saul (who is also called Paul), Ephesians 1:17 (NKJV)

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

Have you ever heard the “secular world needs to hear a different message?”  The “secular world” being the human race, in this case those living a lifestyle that’s not pleasing to God.  I’ve heard it many times.  The last was just a couple of days ago.  I heard it on a “Christian” radio program.  Hence the purpose of this post.

I don’t know about you but hearing things like that cause me to say, “Hmmm?”  I find it hard to believe the so called secular world has yet to hear [Biblical] truths.  I’ve shared [Biblical] truths with “secular world” nonbelievers.  The person saying the secular world needs to hear something different obviously believes their message is different.

I know it’s [Biblically] impossible for the person living a secular lifestyle to know what’s best for anyone; let alone themselves.  When I say what’s best, I’m not talking about satisfying a need.  I’m talking about living a lifestyle pleasing to God.  The secular world wants nothing to do with the God of the [Bible].  Other gods’ maybe, but not the God of the [Bible]. 

I also know those teaching falsehoods make the mistake of believing they themselves are pleasing God.  Their message is as [secular] as it gets.  The person teaching falsehoods, saying the secular world needs to hear a different message, is preaching to the choir. 

As a firm believer [in] Messiah Yeshua it is my obligation to tell you the word of God, the [Bible], is the measuring stick.  With the word of God having the final say, all the nonsense will cease.

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven, Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’” Matthew 7:21-23 (NKJV)

Matthew 7:21-23 clearly establishes there’ll be those claiming the name of Yeshua behind all they’re doing.  Prophesying.  Casting out demons.  Many wonders.  After reading Matthew 7:21-23 would you agree there are some doing so, and for the wrong reasons?  I say, “Yes!”

Here’s an example showing the difference between the followers of the [Biblical] Yeshua and those the Anthanasian Creed.

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.  Ephesians 4:4-6 (NKJV)

The Apostle Saul (who is also called Paul) is speaking to “just as you were called” followers of the [Biblical] Yeshua in Ephesians 4:4-6.  These verses are plain, simple, easy to read and have everything to do with identifying who’s, who.  They tells us there is [one] God and that [one] God is the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Within the walls of the earthly institutions called “church,” Ephesians 4:4-6 is just [one] of the many verses of [Scripture] being ignored or misused by the followers of the Anthanasian Creed.  To be more specific it is being ignored by those “churches,” teaching the Anthanasian Creeds method of salvation of having to believe, or else, “the Son is God”.

Do we all agree Saul’s writings are found in the [Bible] and not those belonging to the one attached to the Anthanasian Creed, Athanasius?

Do we all agree Saul being led by the Spirit of God when he wrote to the Ephesians took place well before 325-AD? 

If we agree with these two things, I’m saying yes to both, it’ll be safe to move on.  Clear sailing from here on out so to speak.  Although I have to admit, there are questions as to who actually wrote the Anthanasian Creed.  The year attached to it however, 325-AD, appears to be a safe bet.  Ephesians 4:4-6, no questions there.  Saul, being led by the Spirit of God, wrote to the Ephesians while in Rome, in the first century.

“One God and Father of all” Ephesians 4:6

Let’s take a look at that which is written prior to Ephesians 4:6.

“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

“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

One more from the Son of God Himself.

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)

Any questions as to whether or not Saul is worthy of being called one of Yeshua’s brethren?  That Saul’s God and Father and Yeshua’s God and Father is one and, the same?  That agreeing with Saul’s writings in Ephesians 1:3, 1:17, and 4:4-6, which just so happen to agree with Yeshua’s message in John 20:17, is [Biblical] evidence of one being a follower of the [Biblical] Yeshua? 

For the followers of the Anthanasian Creed:

Why do you believe “the Son is God”?

Is “the Son is God” [Biblically] sound, agreeing with John 20:17, Ephesians 1:3, 1:17, and 4:4-6?

Do you really believe the [only way] for a person to be saved is by having them believe “the Son is God”? 

If you’ve answered the third question by saying “No, I don’t believe that,” while continuing to believe “the Son is God,” you’ve just created a serious problem.  I can assure you, it’ll have everything to do with the Anthanasian Creed.  Get rid of it, and in its entirety, that problem is solved.

You’re correct, there is no [Biblical] evidence of a person having to believe “the Son is God” to be saved.  That “stuff” can be found in only [one] place, its birthplace, the Anthanasian Creed.

Since I’ve also heard “the Son is God” is [Biblically] sound but having to believe it being the only way for a person to be saved is not, I would have those believing that take a seat.  You’re about to read something that could, better yet should change the way you look at the Anthanasian Creed.

The Anthanasian Creed was accepted as the doctrine of a “church” some sixteen hundred plus years ago.  The fact of it being still with us today proves men have “faithfully” supported it through these years.  It’ll be safe to say, some of you reading this now [still] do, “faithfully”.  Some of you have spent a lot of time and money (education) into keeping this faith.

To say you believe “the Son is God” is [Biblically] sound, while having to believe it is the only way for a person to be saved isn’t, you’ve just exposed yourself as one believing a falsehood.  It’s the Anthanasian Creed, not the [Bible], saying these things are so.  They go hand in hand.  You can’t have one without the other.  The Anthanasian Creed is a single document.  It is, what it is.

Make no mistake about it, the last sentence of the Anthanasian Creed tells us that, above all things, unless a person believes “the Son is God” they “cannot be saved”.  The fact is, it doesn’t matter what’s written prior to that last sentence, it’ll be the [only way] for a person to be saved.  Which leaves the person believing “the Son is God” no choice but to teach believing it [is] the [only way] for a person to be saved.  “The Son is God” is the center piece of that creed.

With the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” removed from the picture, never to be heard of again, Ephesians 1:3, 1:17, 4:4-6, and John 20:17 will continue to be trustworthy verses of [Scripture].  Any questions as to whether or not they have established the “One God and Father of all” in Ephesians 4:6 as not only Saul’s and Yeshua’s God and Father, but the God and Father of “just as you were called in one hope of your calling” those found to be followers of the [Biblical] Yeshua?  As one confessing the [Biblical] Yeshua Lord and Savior of my life, I find no reason to believe otherwise.  I know the word of God endures forever.

“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)

It is clear that the [Bible] identifies just the one “only” true God.  There’s nothing in the [Bible] supporting “the Son is God”.  Obviously, because “the Son is God” isn’t found in the [Bible], it took outside influences, written after the fact, to make it appear that it does.  Which will you choose to ignore?  Either the [Bible] is enough, or it isn’t.

God bless.

Side With the Truth


“The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.” 2 Corinthians 11:31 (NKJV)

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

Have you ever heard “You take the high road and I’ll take the low road,” or vice versa?  I have.  It usually comes up when someone chooses to hate another, go low, and the other chooses not to retaliate, go high.

He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.” Revelation 3:12 (NKJV)

It is my obligation to tell you the safest thing to do, the safest place to be, is to be a believer in Jesus Christ in the midst of those that have chosen to take the low road.  Be an overcomer.  Side with the truth over hate or retaliation and accept whatever comes your way.  God is in full control of the situation.  Forgetting the God of the [Bible] knows, hears, and sees all things is the greatest mistake one could make.  The things that we do, the things that we say, all have consequences.

Speaking the truth isn’t always the easiest thing to do, but it’s always right.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6 (NKJV)

No matter where you are or what you believe, Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life.”

God bless.

Planting Seeds


“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.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.” Matthew 23:15 (NKJV)

It’s Friday night.  Reading in the newspaper that a well-known Evangelist was going to speak at the local church, Steve makes plans to attend the meeting.  A few of Steve’s friends, who unlike Steve confess to be believers in Jesus Christ, notice Steve entering the church.  To Steve’s surprise, thousands of others were there to hear this Evangelist speak as well.  Steve doesn’t recognize anyone in the crowd.

The Evangelist begins by saying, “If there’s one person here that doesn’t believe in Jesus, I pray that person listens very carefully to what I have to say.  The eternal destiny of your soul hangs in the balance.  There’s only two choices my friend, heaven or hell.  Let’s pray.” 

The speaker’s message was spot on, straight from the [Bible], believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved.  Not a single mention of anything remotely relating to the Anthanasian Creed.

Fast forward to Sunday.  Upon entering the church again, Steve is seen by those same friends that witnessed him going into the meeting on Friday.  Steve approaches them, saying, “What are you doing here?”  

One responded, “What are we doing here isn’t the question.  It’s what were you doing here on Friday night?  We’re members of this church.” 

Steve replied, with great joy, “Remember the opening prayer?  If there’s one person that doesn’t believe in Jesus?  As you know, that was me.  Not anymore because now I’m heaven bound, saved, and looking to learn more about Jesus.” 

One of the other friends said, “We have fifteen minutes before church begins, let us introduce you to the pastor.”  

“Okay,” said Steve. 

After a brief introduction Steve heard, from the pastor, “Evangelist travel from place to place.  We call it, planting seeds.  They don’t have time to preach the gospel message, in its entirety.  That’s why we need to get connected to a local church, to get the rest of the story so to speak.” 

“I understand.  That’s why I’m here today,” said Steve. 

“I’m glad you’re here Steve and after the service I hope to see you again.” said the pastor.

After the service Steve sought out the Pastor.  “Steve, how did you like the service?” asked the pastor. 

“I’m confused,” said Steve.

“Confused?” questioned the pastor.

“The one that you said planted seeds, didn’t mention anything about having to believe the Anthanasian Creed to be saved,” said Steve.

“Athanasius is an important figure in the history of the church,” said the pastor.

“You were there Friday night because you introduced the speaker.  You heard my confession at the end of it all.  How I’m going to look to the cross of Jesus Christ and nothing else.  What took place in this very church on Friday night, is the [beginning] of my story,” said Steve.

“I heard it all,” said the pastor.

Would you say it would have been better for Steve, if he had stayed home on Sunday?  Consider that Jesus said, “For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte.”  I say no because the Pastor ended up being the one having to listen very carefully to, what Steve had to say.

God bless.

Don't Go Down the Wrong Path, Thinking It's the Right Way


“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.

If you are going down the wrong path, thinking it’s the right way, then you’re ignoring [Biblical] truths.  People can quote the [Bible], or write down as many verses of [Scripture] as they like.  If they’re trusting their own understanding of it, someone else’s for that matter, then things not mentioned in the [Bible] will dominate their mind.      

You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. Exodus 20:4-6 (NKJV)

For example, it you are praying to and/or worshipping “carved images,” statues if you will, you’re ignoring what has been clearly laid out for us in Exodus 20:4-6.  If you should happen to come across one of these “carved images,” the “likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath,” don’t “bow down to them nor serve them.”  You’re praying to and/or worshipping the handy works of men if you do.  True followers of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” [do not] pray to and/or worship the “likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, carved images.” 

To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” Revelation 3:21 (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)

Consider this, the next time you hear “Even though the words “the Son is God” aren’t in the [Bible] the evidence of it being so is.”  When Jesus said “To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne,” who would you say is not sitting with Jesus on His throne?  I say, Jesus’ “My Father” Father, “My God” His God (John 20:17), is not sitting with Jesus on Jesus’ throne, neither are those that chose not to believe in Jesus.  

There are two thrones mentioned here in the [Bible].  Concerning the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God,” it is [Biblically] impossible to prove Jesus sat next to the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” at any time, let alone on two separate thrones at the exact same time. 

[Biblical] truths have a way of setting the record straight to a willing heart.  Don’t go down the wrong path, thinking it’s the right way.  The Anthanasian Creed comes out on the wrong end of the truth, every time.

God bless.
