Jesus Said to Him

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 name of the only begotten Son of God, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. John 3:18 (NKJV)

I’m not bound to the Anthanasian Creed as many are.  I say it’s an absolute waste of time.  Except for exposing the Anthanasian Creed for what it is, false doctrine.  The Anthanasian Creed is no friend of the [Scriptures], nor [true] followers of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.” 

The Anthanasian Creed will go on its “merry” way throughout time, but know that Jesus is coming again and the Anthanasian Creed is not tied to this event in any way, shape or form. 

The [Bible] is more than sufficient enough as is, and proves the Anthanasian Creed to be a false doctrine.

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “There’s nowhere in the scriptures where God submits to the Son.”  I agreed with the speaker on the radio, on this point.  The speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  The Anthanasian Creed claims the only way to salvation, when nothing could be further from the truth.

Taking the speaker’s quote one step further, I would say, the all-knowing God of the [Bible] doesn’t submit to anyone or anything.  The Anthanasian Creed is, replacement theology.  Prior to the Anthanasian Creeds birth in 325-AD the doctrine of the trinity, wasn’t.  Not a single person has been, or can be, saved by believing the Anthanasian Creed, and thus the doctrine of the trinity.

“There’s nowhere in the scriptures where God submits to the Son.”  The speaker’s attempt to link this to the doctrine of the trinity, is where my agreement with the speaker ends.  If you are giving the Anthanasian Creed the final say, you’re saying everyone is subject to the Anthanasian Creed, past, present, and future.  I say if a message is biblically sound to begin with, concerning the salvation of one’s soul, there’d be no mention of the Anthanasian Creed in it.

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) 

Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. For “He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “All things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. 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 15:24-28

“Then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.”  Followers of the Anthanasian Creed fail to mention that the [Scriptures] show “the Son Himself will also be subject to,” Jesus will be subject to “My God” His God (John 20:17).  They continue to ignore [Biblical] truths.

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) 

If you are a follower of the Anthanasian Creed, be prepared to explain why everyone is subject to it.  “The other” criminal mentioned in Luke 23:39-43 would be number one on my list, of people to explain how hearing “Assuredly, I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise,” is subject to the Anthanasian Creed.  The key words in Luke 23:39-43 are, “Jesus said to him.”

God bless.

So Looking Forward to Being 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 precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

I remember when the norm was calling believers in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus freaks,” “Bible thumpers” and “J. C. water walkers,” just to name a few.  To replace those terms now a days “religious fundamentalist” seems to have taken center stage.  Knowing that the salvation of my soul isn’t centered on what others call me, I am so looking forward to being with Jesus, because with me it is all about believing in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.”

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:34-35 (NKJV)

Knowing that the battle is not against flesh and blood, I’m going to give it to you straight, according to John 13:34-35.  I pray the all-knowing God of the [Bible] open the eyes of those rejecting Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.”  To love one another is to give them the [Scriptures] in truth.  So here it 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.”

“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)

“Whoever believes in” Jesus, according to the [Scriptures], will be saved.  “He who does not believe in” Jesus “is condemned already.”

God bless.

A Place For You

“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 did not come to destroy but to fulfill, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. Matthew 5:17-18 (NKJV)

“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)

“In” Jesus’ “Father’s house are many mansions.”

“You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.  No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.” John 15:14-15 (NKJV)

“I go to prepare a place for you,” Jesus is preparing a [welcome home] place for His “friends.”  “A place for you,” believers in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” according to the [Scriptures].

“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.” Exodus 20:4 (NKJV)

Unlike here on earth where there seems to be an endless supply of them, in this place that Jesus is preparing “for you” there will be no “carved images” of Jesus’ friends or of Jesus Himself. 

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NKJV)

In this place that Jesus is preparing “for you” we will find those who “were washed,” “sanctified” and “justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God,” born again believers in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.”  “And such were some of you.” 

For those not yet trusting Jesus as Savior, I pray you take the time to consider what Jesus is doing here.  Jesus “will come again and receive you to” Himself, if you should choose to [trust] believe in Him.  As one who loves Jesus, it doesn’t get any better than to know Jesus is preparing “a place for” me.  It gets me through each passing day, knowing Jesus is coming again.

God bless.

The Kingdom of God is at Hand

“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)

Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed Him. Mark 1:14-18 (NKJV)

One would think that the person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, saved according to the [Scriptures], would know about the Anthanasian Creed but many don’t.  The Anthanasian Creed shows its face after one repents, and believes in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.”  Let me tell you what Mark 1:14-18 does not say, the time is fulfilled and the Anthanasian Creed is at hand, repent and believe in the Anthanasian Creed.

The Anthanasian Creed unnecessarily adds onto to what Jesus accomplished in the first century.

God bless.

The Harvest Truly is Great

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)

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?

For the follower of the Anthanasian Creed, if they answer the person is not saved or that someone else can prove the person is saved, they have dug themselves into a deep hole of falsehoods.  They won’t see it that way but that’s the way it is, when they say unless one believes the doctrine the trinity one cannot be saved.

As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I say the person is saved.  The [Bible] is more than sufficient enough, as is.  The doctrine of the trinity wouldn’t exist if not for the Anthanasian Creed and not a single person has been, or can be, saved by it.

Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” Luke 10:2 (NKJV)

“The harvest truly is great,” yes there’s a lot people rejecting the gospel of Jesus Christ.  I wouldn’t put yourself in the position of having to answer the question, with the hopes that the Anthanasian Creed is sound doctrine.  Trusting in the [Bible] alone, keeps the Anthanasian Creed at bay.

The Anthanasian Creed, is the high priest of all false doctrines.

God bless.

The God of Israel is One

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:13 (NKJV)

In the name of the only begotten Son of God, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. John 3:18 (NKJV)

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God will your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.” Deuteronomy 6:4 (NKJV)

Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.” Mark 12:29 (NKJV)

In the Hebrew [Scriptures] “Old Testament” the God of “Israel” “is one.”  In the New Testament, specifically Mark 12:29, Jesus is [actually] quoting Deuteronomy 6:4.  As you can see nothing changed, “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.”

Don’t look in the [Bible] for “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.”  It wouldn’t exist at all, if not for the Anthanasian Creed.  The Anthanasian Creed is a burden, for those left with having to answer for it.  How does one defend the Anthanasian Creed which claims the only way to salvation, knowing it was birthed well after the last entry of the New Testament?

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)

We can see in Mark 12:29 that Jesus quoted Deuteronomy 6:4.  The [Bible] is crystal clear concerning the matter.  “My God” Jesus’ God (John 20:17), the God of “Israel,” “is one.”

God bless.

It Doesn't Come With Any Authenticity

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.  Acts 4:12 (NKJV)

Have you ever heard, or for that matter catch yourself saying, it’s all about Jesus?  I say it all the time.  When a follower of the Anthanasian Creed says it however, it doesn’t come with any authenticity.  The mere mentioning of anything linked to the Anthanasian Creeds false “method of salvation,” makes it all about the Anthanasian Creed.  Preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in truth, which is to say [Scripture] alone, keeps it all about Jesus.

Everything Jesus said and did, as given to us in the [Scriptures], creates one problem after another for the Anthanasian Creed.  Those that have chosen to follow the Anthanasian Creed, are the ones left with having to answer for it.

Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3 (NKJV)

Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things?” John 3:9-10 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Jesus is speaking to someone that should know, but He wasn’t.”  Here Nicodemus should have known what Jesus was talking about, but he didn’t.  It’s here in the [Bible] for all to see.  “Nicodemus” had no clue as to what Jesus meant by, “Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”  The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

Pastors, priests, teachers and worshipers, who believe the Anthanasian Creed or not, everyone should know the person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, saved according to the [Scriptures], who rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is born again.

With the inspired word of God, which will endure forever, showing us the only way to salvation, the Anthanasian Creeds [false] “method of salvation” has a 0% chance of passing the test of time.  The Anthanasian Creed and thus the doctrine of the trinity wouldn’t exist at all, if not for the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it abundantly.” John 10:10 (NKJV)

If you [really] believe that the battle is not against flesh and blood, then you would know those rejecting the Anthanasian Creed, or those rejecting God’s plan of salvation for that matter, aren’t the problem here.  “The thief,” Satan is the enemy of truth, the [ultimate] source of all false teachings.

“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)

“Whoever believes in” Jesus, will be saved.  “He who does not believe in” Jesus “is condemned already.”

Believers, use your time wisely.  People need to know that they too can “have life, and that they may have it abundantly,” in Jesus.  We need to believe in, and answer only to, the [Bible].

God bless.

The First or Second Coming

“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 making he who overcomes a pillar in the temple of His God, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Revelation 3:12 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, referring to Jesus, “The second coming is more important than the first.”  The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

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)

The speaker had a 0% chance of convincing me that Jesus’ “second coming is more important than the first.”  I “will rejoice” however, at the mere mentioning of Jesus’ name.  I don’t know about you but when I read Philippians 1:18, specifically the words “in truth,” the significance of Jesus’ first coming comes to mind.  Simply that there is no second coming of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” without Jesus first having to come to die on a cross for the sin of the world.  No need to wait for Jesus’ first coming, it’s coming up on its two thousand year anniversary.

Here’s some sound [Biblical] advice, for followers of the Anthanasian Creed.  Those believing Jesus is the Son of God, who are saved according the [Scriptures], point others to the cross.  They do so because unless one believes in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” according to the [Scriptures], which leaves the Anthanasian Creed on the outside looking in, Jesus’ second coming won’t make a difference.  

God bless.

Proof or Some Sort of Firsthand Knowledge

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

“You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!” James 2:19 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “James believes the Septuagint.”  The “James” the speaker on the radio is referring to is the one whose name is attached to what’s known to us today as James 2:19.  The Speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  

The Septuagint is not inspired, and those knowing anything about it would agree.  This is why when it concerns the salvation of one’s soul, the Anthanasian Creed and the Septuagint don’t belong in the conversation.  The Septuagint is a Greek translations of the Hebrew Scriptures “Old Testament” and was written well before Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem, and the New Testament.

The speaker claiming “James believes the Septuagint,” implies the speaker has actual proof or some sort of firsthand knowledge that James once said it.  I have a hard time believing that in the first century Israel, the Hebrew Scriptures written in the Hebrew language were nowhere to be found.  I find it hard to believe that James relied on the Septuagint to give us the book of James.  I’m very comfortable with saying the Holy Spirit is behind what’s known to us today as, James 2:19.

Like the Septuagint, the Anthanasian Creed is not inspired.  If there was any reason to believe that it was, I wouldn’t say it’s not.  I knew for quite some time, the Anthanasian Creed was a false doctrine.  The fear of losing friends, being rejected by family, and God knows what else would have come my way, kept me from speaking out against the Anthanasian Creed sooner.  Not anymore.

The Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul and proving it to be just that, won’t be a problem.  The Anthanasian Creed is the problem here, not those having been [falsely] led to believe it.

But Don't Mess With The Bible

“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 name of Him who did not come to destroy but to fulfill, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. Matthew 5:17-18 (NKJV)

“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)

Let me emphasize, “Whoever believes in” Jesus will be saved.

“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)

The person using Jesus’ name for the wrong reasons, personal gain or erroneous teachings, just to name a few, needs to stop doing it [immediately] and treat Jesus’ name with respect.  The most terrifying words known to mankind are “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!”  Calling yourself “Christian,” or others saying you are, doesn’t make it so.

Don’t let your imagination get the best of you.  Things like the source of the doctrine of the trinity “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,” will surface if you do.

Imagine this scenario:

Juan, a writer, and Gregg who owns a chain of restaurants have been friends for ten years.  While enjoying lunch together, in one of Gregg’s restaurants, Juan seeks Gregg’s advice as to whether or not the public is ready for Juan’s next book.  Juan begins with, “The use of one’s imagination seems to be a lost art these days.  Yet it is the key to my new book.”

“I see it this way,” replied Gregg.  “If you order something off the menu in one my restaurants, you should get to eat exactly what you ordered.  If we can’t trust the menu, or that the chef accepts your order as is, what good is it?  I don’t want the chef using his imagination on my order.”

“No complaints here.  My compliments to the chef,” replied Juan.  “I’m talking about removing all distractions.  I want to take my reader to a place where there are no rules, regulations, or guidelines to follow, let alone depending on others to get it right.”

Gregg responds, sarcastically, saying, “And one can only imagine this?”

“Precisely why I’m writing the book,” proclaimed Juan.  “A chance to escape it all!  I’m not suggesting the reader would get to a place where everything runs smoothly sun up to sundown, just an opportunity to get away from it all. 

“I’m listening,” said Gregg.  “Give me the short version.  I’ll give you my honest opinion.”

“Imagine having three ink pens not being three ink pens, but one ink pen.  The green pen, because it has green ink.  The yellow pen has yellow ink and the third an orange pen with orange ink.  It doesn’t matter what you do with these three pens, because everything turns out blue,” explained Juan.

Looking for clarity, Gregg says, “Let’s see if I understand you correctly.  If I was to use the GREEN INK PEN, everything it’s used for, or touches for that matter, turns out blue?  THE ORANGE INK PEN, everything is blue?”

Interrupting Gregg, “Yes.  Everything is blue.  Even if you were to use THE YELLOW INK PEN.  There’s only one pen Gregg, THE BLUE INK PEN,” said Juan with the hope of Gregg getting it.

Confused by it all, “Why the three pens?  They exist, but in name only,” asked Gregg.

With great compassion, Juan says, “Gregg… these pens exist in the world of imagination.  They’re tools, used to escape reality.  Forget about what it takes to keep your restaurants up and running.  In the world of imagination up is down, right is wrong, you don’t have to look out for anyone else but yourself.

Gregg replies, in a worrisome manner, “No rules, regulations, or guidelines to follow… hmm.  The possibilities are endless.  I can see how your idea would help others to feel better about themselves.”

With great joy, Juan says, “You hit the nail on the head my friend.  Not that I would do it but if I was to take the same concept of three not being three but one, and use it outside the world of imagination, everything would be open for discussion, even the bible.”

“I have the subtitle for your new book,” said Gregg.  “But Don’t Mess With The Bible.”

God bless.

The Anthanasian Creed is Indefensible

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 the Faithful and True Witness, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Revelation 3:14 (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)

We can lead people to the [Biblical] Jesus, but we can’t take people beyond what is true about Him and His accomplishments.  Everything one needs to know about Him, is in the [Bible].  “No one comes the Father except through” Jesus, says it all.  Jesus and God are different, separate, but in agreement in all that they do.

For those confessing Jesus is the Son of God and saved according to the [Scriptures], yet accusing those believing the same of blasphemy for rejecting the Anthanasian Creed, you should give Jesus your undivided attention which He so rightfully deserves.  The Anthanasian Creed, is indefensible.   

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “It’s very important that the bible speaks for itself.”  The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

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

I believe “the [Bible] speaks for itself,” and thus I say, “Whoever believes in” Jesus will be saved.  “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.”  As believers we should become more and more like Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.”  This, is a process.  Where everything points to one having to believe/preach that Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life,” according to the [Scriptures] alone.  So where does, unless one believes the doctrine of trinity one cannot be saved, come from if there’s no [Biblical] evidence of it being so?  It is certainly not from “the [Bible] speaks for itself.” It can only be from man’s understanding of it.

As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I say, it is unthinkable to teach the Anthanasian Creed as sound doctrine.  The [Bible] doesn’t support its [false] “method of salvation” in any way, shape or form.

Whenever the Anthanasian Creed is taught the teacher should say from the get go that there is no biblical evidence of it being so.  I say unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved.

For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.  1 Timothy 2:5-7 (NKJV)

“There is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.”  “Whoever believes in” this same Jesus, according to the [Scriptures], is saved, and Jesus is [busy] mediating on their behalf.

Just A Thought

When you [really] give thought to what Jesus accomplished in the first century, and choose to accept it for what it is, God’s plan of salvation in a nutshell, rejecting the Anthanasian Creed makes perfect sense.

There's Nothing Spotty About It

“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, “Our understanding of things will always be spotty.”  The speaker on the radio is a follower of the 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.

There’s nothing “spotty” about the Anthanasian Creed my friends.  How it came to be in the first place is beyond comprehension but its believe it [or else] “you cannot be saved” false method of salvation is crystal clear.  It is available for all of us to see.   

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

“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.

Do you believe our understanding of “Whoever believes in” Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” will be saved, is “spotty”?  It is not crystal clear?  The Anthanasian Creed puts John 3:16 on trial.  Followers of that creed have a vested interest in the answer because they think they’re doing the right thing, by making “the Son is God.”  Let me tell you what 1 John 4:15 DOES NOT say, whoever confesses that Jesus is “the Son is God,” God abides in him, and he in God.

Whenever/wherever the [Bible] is used to teach God’s plan of salvation, listen for whether or not one has to believe the Anthanasian Creed to be saved.  If it’s according to the [Scriptures], they’ll be no mentioning of anything linked to the Anthanasian Creed in the message.  If it’s according to the [Scriptures] the [Bible] is used to teach on how to recognize, false doctrines.  The Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul.  Keep in mind, the doctrine of the trinity wouldn’t exist if not for the Anthanasian Creed.

The Anthanasian Creed stands alone, and totally depends on the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].  Don’t let sixteen hundred plus years of false teachings, trick you into believing the Anthanasian Creed.  What Jesus accomplished in the first century is far greater than, the Anthanasian Creed.

You fill in the blank spaces.  “Whoever confesses that Jesus is ___ ___ __ ___, God abides in him, and he in God.”  If it reads like this, “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God,” your understanding is not spotty. 

God bless.

Give Thanks

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

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

Whatever you give thanks to the all-knowing God of the [Bible] for such as, the birth of another Human Being, becoming a born again believer in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” or for having your needs met when all seemed lost, just to name a few, the Anthanasian Creed will have absolutely nothing to do with it. 

I have a hard time believing that the follower of the Anthanasian Creed wouldn’t believe this to be true, as well.

God bless.

False Systems of Beliefs

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

If you want to be intentional about telling people about Jesus, point them to the [Bible].  There’s a lot of silly “stuff” being taught these days but nothing has caused more people to turn from [Biblical] truths to false teachings, than the Anthanasian Creed.

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)

The one teaching the Anthanasian Creed as sound doctrine, and at the same time believing Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life,” should know that no one has to believe the doctrine of the trinity to be saved.  I hope the follower of the Anthanasian Creed knows the doctrine of the trinity was created by those not mentioned in the [Bible].  The fact they are not willing to admit to it being so, is where the problem lies.  In a word, pride.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to those attending earthly institutions called “church,” that there are people taking bits and pieces from the [Bible], to create false systems of beliefs.  It’ll be hard to find one [denomination] “church” not accusing another of heresy or worshipping false gods, while both claim to be teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in truth.  They’ll go as far as to identifying the source, or even the name of the individual responsible for turning others away from their system of belief.   

People are more than willing to stand up for what they believe.  I’m certainly not shy about telling others about Jesus, nor letting them know the Anthanasian Creed is the high priest of all false doctrines.  I trust God will make a way, so I won’t force anyone to believe as I do.

I’m not going to mentioning the names of those responsible for turning people away from [Biblical] truths, the battle is not against flesh and blood.  By now some names may come to mind.

If you’re following the teachings of one of those guilty of turning people away from [Biblical] truths, you might find yourself feeling uncomfortable at the thought of their name.

I love Jesus, and am not ashamed to tell others about Him.  I say the Anthanasian Creed is the source of your system of belief, if you’re attending a “church” that teaches unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved.  Understand that “church” is turning people away from, [Biblical] truths. 

The Anthanasian Creed condemns to hell’s fire those having passed prior to its birth in 325-AD, along with those that have chosen to reject it since.  Would you say the Anthanasian Creed, and thus the doctrine of the trinity, controls the eternal destination of everyone’s soul?  Past, present and future?  If you do, I hope now you see that you’re putting words in God’s mouth.

God bless.

It Will be Revealed by Fire

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)

For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 (NKJV)

Let me empathize, “If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures” is referring to those building on what Jesus accomplished in the first century.  For those that are well aware of what Jesus accomplished, they “will” not “receive a reward” for those things they’ve either added to, or subtracted from, the [Bible].  Their “work is burned.”

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)

After reading John 20:17 who would you say “will receive a reward” for telling others that Jesus’ God and Father and their God and Father are one and the same?  The born again believer in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” that rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, or the one that is blind to the fact that the Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul?

As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I say both of these are saved. There is “no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”  The Anthanasian Creed, “because it will be revealed by fire,” adds on to God’s plan of salvation.

God bless.

The Anthanasian Creed is Not Biblical

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 the Faithful and True Witness, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Revelation 3:14 (NKJV)

Whenever/wherever the Anthanasian Creed is taught as sound doctrine, don’t expect the truth to be told.  According to the Anthanasian Creed, the [Biblical] Jesus has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul.

Then they said to Him, “Who are You?” And Jesus said to them, “Just as I have been saying to you from the beginning. I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.” They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father. John 8:25-27 (NKJV)

The [Biblical] Jesus is asked to answer a simple question, “Who are You?”  “Just as I have been saying to you from the beginning,” Jesus wants us to know who He is.  The [Bible] tells us everything we need to know, about Jesus.  The [Biblical] Jesus, is known for telling the truth.

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)

Jesus is “It is He who is talking with you,” “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)

The [Bible] is crystal clear concerning the matter, “Jesus is the Son of God.”  “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.”  It shows that the Anthanasian Creed is not [Biblical], having absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul.

We do not have to approach the Anthanasian Creed to be saved.  Why something so simple isn’t taught, today, is beyond comprehension.

God bless.
