Use Jesus' Teachings

“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.
