“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 makes us kings and priests to His God and Father, Messiah
Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. See Revelation 1:6
(NKJV)
As I listened to the local “Christian” radio station a
follower of the Anthanasian Creed said, in their effort to prove the existence of
a place named hell, “Jesus being God knows.”
The speaker on the radio cited Jesus’ teachings, how they show such a
place exists. I agree with the speaker
on this second point. Using Jesus’
teachings to settle whatever is in question, is by far the safest thing to do.
“Jesus being God knows” implies, that as God, Jesus would
know all things. Believers and
nonbelievers alike are free to [believe] say whatever they like about Jesus. I pray they use Jesus’ teachings to settle
the matter, in this case Jesus knowing all things.
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)
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in
heaven, nor the Son, but
only the Father.” Mark 13:32 (NKJV)
Jesus “nor the Son,” doesn’t know “that day
and hour.” Jesus does know “My
God” His God and “My Father” His Father who does know “that day
and hour,” “but only the Father.”
One doesn’t have to believe this to be saved but the practice of
leaving Scripture well enough alone, is a hint to [believing in] accepting what
Jesus accomplished in the first century, that is saved according to the
[Scriptures].
On the other hand to say one must believe “Jesus
being God knows,” Jesus is God, to be saved, is a sure fire sign of followers
of the Anthanasian Creed meddling with God’s plan of salvation that has been
clearly laid out for us in the [Bible].
There’s no [Biblical] evidence of anyone having to believe
that Jesus, the Son of God, is God, to be saved. The Anthanasian Creed is the problem here and
the sooner it’s seen as man’s will being done, concerning the salvation of one’s
soul, the better.
God bless.
In His Care… Jim
