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.
In His Care… Jim
