“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. See Matthew 5:17-18 (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.
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)
While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I
heard a follower of the Anthanasian Creed say, “There is only one God, and how many
ways are there to this God?” The speaker
then went onto to say, referring to John 14:6, “Believing in Jesus is the only
way to God.” Followers of the Anthanasian
Creed are known for saying things like ‘unless one believes the doctrine of the
trinity they cannot be saved’ and, ‘even though the words “the Son is God”
aren’t in the bible the evidence of it being so 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)
The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who
is also called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.” Jesus said to her, “I who speak
to you am He.” John 4:25-26 (NKJV)
We don’t have to [confess] believe that “Jesus” had an
encounter with “The woman” in John 4:25-26, in order to be saved. If that were true, Jesus’ second coming is
not something they should be looking forward to. The true follower of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” [confesses]
believes John 4:25-26 has been recorded accurately, because they [are] saved
according to the [Scriptures]. They are
saved because “whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life.”
Jesus’ second coming is
something to look forward to and accepting what Jesus accomplished in the first
century, leading up to and including His death on the cross, is the only way to
understand why.
If you’re familiar with the terms “altar call” and/or
“sinners prayer,” I hope you’d agree with “Whoever believes in” Jesus
(John 3:16), is saved according to the [Scriptures]. If you had/have no clue as to
what [actually] took place in John 4:25-26, or in the book of Genesis for that
matter, it would not change your salvation status.
I agree with the speaker, “There is only one God” and
“Believing in Jesus is the only way to God.” Where we differ
is, you won’t hear me saying unless one believes the Anthanasian Creed, and
thus the doctrine of the trinity, one cannot be saved. I’m not interested in emulating the
Anthanasian Creed, something that adds onto that which Jesus accomplished in
the first century.
Jesus spoke these words, lifting up
His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son,
that Your Son also may glorify You, as You have given Him authority over all
flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and
Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:2-3 (NKJV)
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)
Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” calling God “My God” His God
in John 20:17, “You, the only true God” in John 17:3, is trustworthy as
is.
Who is he who overcomes the world,
but he who believes that Jesus is the
Son of God? 1 John 5:5 (NKJV)
In order to “make” the Anthanasian Creed “trustworthy as
is,” one would have to say/teach 1 John 5:5, specifically the words “Jesus is
the Son of God,” contradicts God’s plan of salvation that has been laid out
for us in the [Bible].
There’s nothing in the [Bible]
saying “the Son of God” and the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God”
are one and the same. The words “the
Son is God,” are not in the [Bible].
The [Bible] will not be found guilty of causing people to
stray from [Biblical] truths, to false teachings. The Anthanasian Creed however, will.
God bless.
In His Care… Jim
