It Happens in an Instant

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

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Many religions claim the path to eternal life.”  Don’t be fooled by those claiming to know “the path to eternal life.”  The [Bible] is crystal clear concerning the matter.  “The path” that leads to the kingdom of God begins with, believing in Jesus Christ. 

The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  One can claim the Anthanasian Creed but they won’t find it on “the path” leading to the kingdom of God.  The [Biblical] Jesus being mentioned in the same conversation with the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God,” began in 325-AD.  The one’s who put their trust in those not mentioned in the [Bible] carried the Anthanasian Creed into the twenty first century.  Proving this won’t be a problem.

Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.” But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?  And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.” 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 23:39-43 (NKJV)

It doesn’t take twenty four hours, thirty days, or years of classroom training to be saved.  It happens in an instant.  After reading Luke 23:39-43, how long did it take for you to see that one of the two “criminals” was saved?  I believe someone got saved today, in the time it took for you to read Luke 23:39-43.  They may not have ever heard of the Anthanasian Creed, the doctrine of the “Trinity” or that some believe Jesus is God, but they are saved.

“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)

We’re not to believe those claiming to know “the path that leads to eternal life.”  The [Bible] is the authority, and sticking to it is the safest thing one could do.  The kingdom of God is the prize.  “Whoever believes in” Jesus, will be saved. 

God bless.

Truly Desire to Follow 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 name of Him who was given authority over all flesh, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. John 17:2 (NKJV)

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)

God forbid if I encourage others to trust the Anthanasian Creed while saying that I trust Jesus and believe John 14:6.

Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.”  Luke 9:23 (NKJV)

Let me emphasize, when Jesus “said to them all” that includes us today because the inspired word of God, the [Bible], endures forever.  Those who actually heard Jesus say then “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me,” and us who read it today, must “deny” ourselves, “and take up” our “cross daily,” “and follow” Jesus.  That is if we desire to “come after” Jesus.

As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I pray God that you see the Anthanasian Creed rejects those who truly desire to “follow” Jesus.  The inspired word of God, the [Bible], endures forever.

God bless.

Trust The Words Jesus Himself Said

“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 only name given among men by which we must be saved, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Acts 4:12 (NKJV)

Wherever the Anthanasian Creed is treated as sound doctrine, expect the [Bible] to be mistreated.  Simply stated, in order for the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” to exist, one would have to either twist Jesus’ teachings from their intended meaning, or ignore them altogether. 

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “What does it mean to be a Christian?  Until you allow Jesus to take His place you’re not a Christian.”  The speaker on the radio was well aware of Jesus’ true place, saying, “At the right hand of God the Father,” yet the speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

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)

In order to accept the [Biblical] fact that Jesus “ascended” “to My Father” “and to My God,” His God and Father, one would have to trust the words Jesus himself said.  He ascended to His God and Father, not to himself.  If you don’t trust He who “ascended” to His God and Father, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” it doesn’t matter what you think about Him.

But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” Acts 7:55-56 (NKJV)

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is sitting at the right of God. Colossians 3:1 (NKJV)

If you believe Jesus is “sitting,” or “standing at the right hand of God,” then why wouldn’t you see that Jesus is “sitting,” or “standing” next to God which clearly makes them separate?

“Whosoever will be saved, before all things, it is necessary that he hold the catholic (i. e. , universal, (Christian) faith. Which faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.”  - First two sentences of the Anthanasian Creed.

“So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God. And yet they are not three Gods, but one God.”  - Anthanasian Creed.

“This is the catholic (Christian) faith; which except you believe faithfully and firmly, you cannot be saved.”  - Last sentence of the Anthanasian Creed.

Please don’t connect the Anthanasian Creed to true followers of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” Christians.  Followers of that creed will tell you one must believe the Anthanasian Creed, and thus the doctrine of the “Trinity,” to be saved.   Actually, if you slim it down to its ultimate meaning, it says unless one believes “before all things” “the Son is God,” one “cannot be saved.”  True followers of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” look to the cross, not what those in 325-AD created for themselves.  The Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul.

Would you say the person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, saved according to the [Scriptures], and rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is saved?  As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I say the person is saved.

“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)

Stick to the [Bible], because in there you will find “Whoever believes in” Jesus according to the [Scriptures], will be saved.

God bless.

The Work of The Ministry

“We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.” Colossians 1:3 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who makes us kings and priests to His God and Father, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Revelation 1:6 (NKJV)

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelist, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.  Ephesians 4:11-12 (NKJV)

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words, history of the church?  For me it was what Jesus accomplished on the cross.  I was listening to the local “Christian” radio station when I heard the history of the church explained using only names not mentioned in the [Bible].  It was the history of the speakers “church” not God’s church, “the body of Christ.”

Eyewitnesses to the events leading up to and following Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, are recorded in the [Bible] for all to see.  After I read Ephesians 4:11-12 those using [Scripture] alone “for the work of ministry,” are those in “the body of Christ.”

“The work of ministry” is synonymous with [true] followers of Jesus, “the body of Christ.”  “The work of ministry” is an extension of what has been clearly laid out for us, in the [Scriptures].  In them we’ll find Jesus’ true love for “the body of Christ”.  Those outside “the body of Christ” deserve the same from those of us who call on Jesus’ name.  That is our “work of ministry.”

God bless.

Christ is God's

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.

Any attempt to link the story of the Anthanasian Creed to the [Bible] will fail, for it cannot sustain itself on [Scripture] alone.

That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  Romans 10:9 (NKJV)

In a world bent on silencing [Biblical] truths, the message of the [Bible] remains the same.   “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

“Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God. But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.” Luke 12:8-9 (NKJV)

“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)

Let me emphasize, Jesus said “Whoever confesses Me before men,” He “will also confess before the angels of God.”  “My God,” His God.

And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s. 1 Corinthians 3:23 (NKJV)

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

If you are committed to the Anthanasian Creed, and thus the doctrine of the “Trinity,” you are blind to the fact that the Anthanasian Creed will ultimately fail.  Everything inside the will of God points to believing, “Jesus is the Son of God.”  “My God,” Jesus’ God, knows “He who overcomes” are those that will be saved according to the [Scriptures].  They “are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.”  Why anyone would attempt to usurp “Christ is God’s” with the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God,” is unimaginable. 

As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I say believing the Anthanasian Creed is the greatest mistake one could make.  It is equal to denying Jesus “before men.”

My prayer is that you see that the Anthanasian Creed is outside the will of God.

God bless.

To Be With Jesus

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. Hebrews 4:14 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who was given all authority in heaven and on earth, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. Matthew 28:18 (NKJV)

There’s only one happy ending to this life, to be with Jesus. 

We can’t regulate evil.  We don’t know the thoughts of men, or women.  Anyone can condemn evil acts, after the fact.  Until one learns to love others as Jesus loved them, they will continue to be enticed by evil and will allow it to creep slowly into their lives.

God bless.

Blinded by Its Darkness

“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, “The world is getting much darker.  We need to let them know what we are for and what we are against.”  The speaker on the radio was speaking to, “Christians.”  The speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

I agree, the world is bent on silencing [Biblical] truths, my words not the speaker’s.  I have a problem with a follower of the Anthanasian Creed, saying, “We need to let them know what we are for and what we are against.”  Knowing the battle is not against those that have chosen to believe the Anthanasian Creed, I say the Anthanasian Creed is the problem here.

“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) 

To follow the Anthanasian Creed, and thus the doctrine of the “Trinity,” you must be against those that reject the Anthanasian Creed but “believes in” Jesus.  Those believing the Anthanasian Creed are blinded by its darkness and should think twice about telling others what they need to know.  People who reject the Anthanasian Creed just might know that it wouldn’t exist, if not for the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].      

God bless.

Our Salvation Totally Depends on What Jesus Accomplished on The Cross

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested towards us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.  1 John 4:8-11 (NKJV)

In the name of Him God sent to be the propitiation for our sins, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

“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. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe in Him is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:16-18 (NKJV)

Let me emphasize, God “gave His only begotten Son,” Jesus, “that the world through” Jesus “might be saved.”  “Whoever believes in” Jesus “is not condemned.”  “He who does not believe in” Jesus “is condemned already.”

“This is the catholic (Christian) faith; which except you believe faithfully and firmly, you cannot be saved.” - Last sentence of the Anthanasian Creed.

“The catholic (Christian) faith” system of belief that was introduced to the world in 325-AD, and is not based upon [Biblical] truths.  No one is condemned, for rejecting the Anthanasian Creed, and no one can be saved, by believing it.

“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) 

Anytime one uses the words “you cannot be saved,” I check to see if they’re referring to what Jesus accomplished on the cross.  If so, anything more than “Whoever believes in” Jesus will be saved coming from them, raises a red flag. 

Since the birth of the Anthanasian Creed in 325-AD, and thus the doctrine of the “Trinity,” followers of that creed have been led to believe the Anthanasian Creed “explains” who Jesus is.  They’re blind to the fact that the Anthanasian Creed doesn’t explain a single thing.  The Anthanasian Creed forces its followers to teach a false way of salvation.

If any part of our salvation depends on the Anthanasian Creed, then there is no victory over sin and, death.  Simply, what Jesus accomplished on the cross was for not.  

The Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul, so don’t be deceived by its false method of salvation.  What one learns about Jesus according to the [Scriptures] after they’ve been saved, is a bonus.  The last thing they need to hear is that they’re not saved, until they believe the Anthanasian Creed. 

The Anthanasian Creed is a tool that was invented in 325-AD.  As long as people keep investing in it, then it’s false method of salvation “lives” on.  If these same people are saved according to the [Scriptures], what Jesus accomplished on the cross covers all of their sins.  Simply, if you believe in Jesus according the [Scriptures] you are saved, period.  Don’t waste your time, and money, on the Anthanasian Creed.   

God bless.

Don't Eat The Fruit of The Anthanasian Creed

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. Hebrews 4:14 (NKJV)

In the only name given among men by which we must be saved, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Acts 4:12 (NKJV)

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat; for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” Genesis 2:16-17 (NKJV)

Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’” Genesis 3:1-3 (NKJV)

Then the serpent said to the woman, “You shall not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:4-5 (NKJV)

God commanded the man “Adam,” saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat; for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

The serpent (aka Satan) said to the woman “Eve,” “You shall not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”  The rest is human history.

Let’s cut to the chase, Satan can never be trusted.  His sole focus is to divert us away from God, and he is clever in his tempting ways.

God’s plan of salvation is found in the [Bible], and is 100% trustworthy as is.

“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)

“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)

Satan wants us to believe whoever believes in Jesus, according to man’s understanding of the [Scriptures], will be saved.  Man wrote the Anthanasian Creed and the temptation of Satan began again comparable to “your eyes will be open and you will be like God,” and just like that man adopted the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God.”  It is my obligation to tell you Revelation 2:18 and John 3:16 are crystal clear as is.  Jesus is “the Son of God” and “Whoever believes in” Jesus will be saved.

The Anthanasian Creed is the problem here, not when it was written, or by whom.  Proving the Anthanasian Creed is by product of man’s understanding of the [Scriptures], won’t be a problem.  I pray that you shall not eat from the fruit of the Anthanasian Creed.

God bless.

Preach The Message of The Bible in Truth

“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 name of Him who makes us kings and priests to His God and Father, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Revelation 1:6 (NKJV)

When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” So they said, some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”  Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.”  Matthew 16:13-17 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, referring to “Simon Bar-Jonah” Peter, “You spoke with the mouth of God!  What were you thinking?”  The speaker on the radio had previously mentioned that Peter spoke correctly, saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”  Jesus took it one step further, saying to Peter, “flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.”  The speaker up to this point was fine with Peter answering the question correctly, saying, “You spoke with the mouth of God.”  The speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  What caused the speaker to say, “What were you thinking?”

Then the servant girl that kept the door said to Peter, “You are not also one of this Man’s disciples, are you?”  He said, I am not.” John 18:17 (NKJV)

Now Peter stood and warmed himself. Therefore they said to him, “You are not one of His disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not!”  One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?” Peter then denied again; and immediately a rooster crowed. John 18:25-27 (NKJV)

The speaker went on to say that not long after Peter answered the question correctly in Matthew 16:13-17, Peter denied Jesus three times (John 18:17-27).  This led the speaker to say, about Peter, as if in disbelief, “What were you thinking?” 

I’m thanking God for showing me, throughout the [Bible] that true followers of Jesus learn as we go.  That as long as I keep my eyes on the things Jesus accomplished in the first century, the cares of this world won’t interfere with what I have been called to do.  Preach the message of the [Bible] in truth.           

I hear it all the time on the local “Christian” radio station how “Generation X” the younger crowd, is moving further away from God.  Keep in mind this is coming from those that would say the Anthanasian Creed is legit.  I’d make sure you are not linked to the Anthanasian Creed in any way, shape, or form, if I were you.  You’re not helping anyone, let alone “Generation X,” telling them they have to believe the Anthanasian Creed.

Would you say the person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, saved according to the [Scriptures], and rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is saved? 

No one would have given the Anthanasian Creed a second a thought, if this question was offered up in 325-AD.  Would you?  As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I say the person is saved.  The truth of the matter is, it is impossible to prove otherwise.

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

You can’t link the Anthanasian Creed to Peter’s “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” or John’s “Jesus is the Son of God.”  The [Bible] is trustworthy, as is.

The people of Generation X need to see those believing the [Bible] is trustworthy who aren’t leaning on their own understanding of it.  Some, confessing and believing Jesus is the Son of God, saved according to the [Scriptures], will choose to attend Seminary.  Would you say if they choose to attend Seminary, whether they’ve been introduced to the Anthanasian Creed, or not, is not saved?  Apparently those that teach the Anthanasian Creed, don’t see anyone as being saved until they agree with their understanding of the [Scriptures].  

I would ask this to the one teaching the Anthanasian Creed, are you willing to say the person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, and rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is not saved?

If they should happen to say the person is not saved, I pray God not let me ever say “What were you thinking?”  The Anthanasian Creed is the problem, not those that have been led to believe it, falsely.  I will not ever, agree to disagree.

The Anthanasian Creed forces people to believe that they’re not saved, unless they believe the Anthanasian Creed, and thus the doctrine of the “Trinity.”  It is my obligation to tell you the Anthanasian Creed is replacement theology, and should be taught as such.

This generation is no different than any other before it.  Everyone’s looking to find their “place,” picking and choosing from whatever may come their way.  In doing so, subject to change on a daily basis is the norm.  The message of the [Bible] remains the same all day long, believe in Jesus and you will be saved.  True followers of Jesus preach the message of the [Bible] in truth, not only to “Generation X,” but to whomever may be standing right next to them at that time.

God bless.

Jesus is The Son of Man

“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 name of Him who was given authority over all flesh Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. John 17:2 (NKJV)

It’s just shy of two thousand years, since Jesus died on a cross for the sin of the world.  Many treat it as if it never happened at all.  They believe they need to conquer this world to receive a better life in the hereafter is the way to go.  They reject everything Jesus accomplished in the first century.  They have [totally] missed the mark.

Followers of the Anthanasian Creed need to consider the facts.  The [Bible] is the inspired word of God.  The Anthanasian Creed is hearsay at best.  The Anthanasian Creed appears to have something to do with the [Bible], until you put it up against the [Bible].  Simply, the Anthanasian Creed treats God’s plan of salvation as if it doesn’t exist at all.

Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?  But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is dead and your faith is also empty. Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise. For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are all of all men the most pitiable. But know Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 1 Corinthians 15:12-20 (NKJV)

Let me emphasize, “Some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead.”  “But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen” and “you are still in your sins!” Thanks be to God, “Christ is risen from the dead.”

“Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe I am He, you will die in your sins.”  John 8:24 (NKJV)

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)

Followers of the Anthanasian Creed believe Jesus claimed God when He said “if you do not believe I am He, you will die in your sins” in John 8:24.  The Anthanasian Creed “the Son is God” is a must have for them.  “When you lift up the Son of Man” in John 8:28 proves them wrong.  “I am He” in John 8:24 and 8:28, is referring to “the Son of Man.”  Jesus is “the Son of Man.”  If “the Son of Man” “is not risen,” we “are still in” our “sins!”  Jesus is God’s provision for the sin in our life.  The Anthanasian Creed, and thus the doctrine of the “Trinity,” serves one purpose and one purpose alone.  One has to believe it to become a “member” of a local “church.”

“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)

“Whoever believes in” Jesus, “the Son of Man,” will be saved.

God bless.

The Eternal Destiny of One's Soul

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

While watching the news on television, I mentioned to someone what I would say if I was running for president in 2020.  What you’re about to read, is my way of sharing a piece of that interesting conversation with you.  I hope that you’ll find it just as interesting.

Jim has a one hour wait at the airport.  He notices a man going from one person to the next and writing things down as he goes.  This same man I will call him David, is now looking at Jim.

David comes to Jim, and asked, “Do you have the time to answer a few questions?”

“You’ve certainly picked a good spot.  I see you’ve gathered a lot of information so far,” replied Jim.  “What’s it all about?”

Taking a seat next to Jim, “Priorities,” said David.  “Are you one of the many running for President in 2020?”

“I am not,” said Jim.

Feeling comfortable about the way things are going up to now, “If you were running for president in 2020, what would your number one priority be?” asked David.

After a slight pause, Jim replies, “Good question.”  “I’m not threatened by anyone’s opinion.  I am however concerned about the eternal destiny of one’s soul.”

“That’s interesting.  How would that apply to say (looking at his notes)… something like climate control?” asked David.

“I would work towards telling everyone that’s for or against climate control about Jesus Christ.” responded Jim with great concern.

“Where do you stand on health care?” asked David.

“Whether we have it or we don’t, telling others about Jesus would continue to be priority number one for me,” said Jim joyfully.

After a brief moment of silence, David said, “It appears your number one priority would be the same no matter what the topic may be.”

“It would,” replied Jim.  “I would rather tell people about what Jesus did for them.  The kingdom of God is the prize, and there’s only one way to get there.  Believe in Jesus.”

God bless.

In His Care… Jim
