Jesus Christ of Nazareth

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

Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple; who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” Acts 3:1-6 (NKJV)

“Peter and John” are [true] followers of Messiah Yeshua, “Jesus Christ of Nazareth.”  “Peter” wouldn’t have said “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk” that day, if not for him knowing who “Jesus Christ of Nazareth” is.  “Peter and John” would have missed out on a great opportunity to tell others about what they’ve come to know and believe, if not for “Jesus Christ of Nazareth.”  It’s all about “Jesus Christ of Nazareth” and not, them.

Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed; for before certain men came from James, he would eat with the gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.  But when I saw that they weren’t straight forward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of the gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel gentiles to live as Jews?  Galatians 2:11-14 (NKJV)

“Peter,” and others, weren’t always “straight forward about the truth of the gospel.” We’re all going to make mistakes and wrong decisions.  When it comes to the salvation of one’s soul however, there’s no room for error.  It’s believing in “Jesus Christ of Nazareth,” or bust.  It is safe to say Peter John and Paul knew, it’s all about “Jesus Christ of Nazareth” and not them.

“The Son is God” is of the Anthanasian Creed, and that’s as far as it goes.  To ignore this fact opens the door to mistaking false teachings for [Biblical] truths, and that’s a problem.

Outside the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible], followers of the Anthanasian Creed have no explanation as to how “the Son is God” was birthed and made its way into the twenty first century.

Don’t make the mistake of believing the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” and the doctrine of the “Trinity” existed prior to the first entry of the Anthanasian Creed, they didn’t.  The Anthanasian Creed was birthed and became doctrine of the Catholic Church in 325-AD.  It’s having to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved method of salvation hasn’t saved a single soul, nor could it.  What we need to know about “Jesus Christ of Nazareth,” should come straight from the [Bible].

God bless.
