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.
As I was watching television I heard a speaker say, “Most of
the money that goes to support the word of God goes to support false
teachings.” The speaker on television is
a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.
How the speaker can say “Most of the money goes to support
false teachings” with a clear conscience, is beyond belief. I wonder what facts the speaker has to
support this statement as none were presented.
I wouldn’t have a clear conscience knowing I just said something that I
couldn’t prove to be true. I would feel
especially so if it concerns the salvation of one’s soul. Doing so will get both believers and
nonbelievers in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” in trouble every time. Don’t forget the God of the [Bible] knows
hears and sees all things.
I’m going to speak for myself here. There was a time when I was “terrified” of
speaking out against the Anthanasian Creed, but those days ended in 2009. I financially supported the ministries of the
churches I attended. I certainly didn’t
know what was going on behind closed doors in those churches, but I trusted God
with the [money] tithe offering that I gave.
Since then, knowing the Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do
with the salvation of one’s soul, I have focused on supporting God’s work with
my time but I give my money directly to areas where I see God at work and a
need, I no longer financially support the local church.
I have failed many times, but I don’t consider myself a
failure. I thank God for not abandoning
me during those times and for showing me that there is a better way; follow
Jesus according to the [Scriptures]. God
took the things I had to repent of, and used them for my good.
It is not my intention, but the “odds” are that I will
disappoint God at some point. My efforts
to avoid that keeps me from saying things like “Most of the money that goes to
support the word of God goes to support false teachings.”
True followers of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” are not perfect
people but they serve a perfect God.
Does most of the money given to support the word of God go to support
false teachings? Only God would
know. A follower of the Anthanasian
Creed should be the last person to talk about those that support false teachings. As for me, I support the word of God.
God bless.
In His Care… Jim
