How Are You Treating Jesus?

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

As I watched a “Christian” program on television a follower of the Anthanasian Creed said, “The church is the strongest institution there’ll ever be on earth.”  The speaker went onto clarify this, saying, “Having been given the authority to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, separates the church from all other institutions.”

When I hear someone say they “preach the gospel of Jesus Christ,” I’m interested in hearing about what they think about the Anthanasian Creed.  To the speaker’s credit, there wasn’t a single mentioning of anything linked to the Anthanasian Creed in this [particular] message.

A person can be 100% correct about Jesus in one thing and without you even knowing it, they could be so wrong about Him in others.  Nothing could be more incorrect than to speak well about Jesus in one place and teach unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved, in others.  In this case the speaker was a prime example of it being so.  On the flip side, a person could be 100% wrong about Jesus and 100% right about the Anthanasian Creed, rejecting it too, and I’d [only] be concerned about how they’re treating Jesus.  

The majority of things I hear on “Christian” radio and television agree with Jesus’ teachings, as given to us in the [Bible].  Those things supporting the Anthanasian Creed however expose the Anthanasian Creed for what it is, false doctrine that adds onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century. 

“Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation that he also believe faithfully the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. For the right faith is, that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man.” The Anthanasian Creed.

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

It was followers of the Anthanasian Creed that originally caused me to doubt the Anthanasian Creed.  I can assure you, they haven’t helped their cause any since.  I’m well into my sixties today, and decades have passed since they [first] planted those seeds of doubt in me.  I was sure about one thing [throughout] that entire time, the [Bible] wouldn’t cause me to doubt Jesus’ teachings.  There’s every reason to believe Jesus’ teachings define God’s plan of salvation and the Anthanasian Creed has [absolutely] nothing to do with it. 

I wasn’t there in 325-AD, when the Anthanasian Creed became doctrine of the Catholic Church, and I’m not going to rely on what has been passed down through the years, concerning the events that took place then.  Prior to 325-AD no one had to believe the tenets of the Anthanasian Creed to be saved and the same holds true for us today.  1 John 4:15 is just one example, why “it is” not “necessary” to believe the Anthanasian Creed.

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?

When I say “rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether” I mean, treat the Anthanasian Creed as if it never exists at all.  What category would you say “the person” falls under?  Those who are saved, “God abides in him, and he in God,” or dammed to hell’s fire for rejecting the Anthanasian Creed altogether?

As one who loves Jesus, I say “the person” is on the right side of God’s plan of salvation, saved according to the [Scriptures].  

God bless.

Perfect Sense

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

As I listened to the local “Christian” radio station a follower of the Anthanasian Creed said, “Common sense is not in abundance in the Christian church, I have come to find.”  The speaker went onto give examples of it being so.  Most of them had to do with [modern day] “Christians” chasing after the cares of this world.  This is not a new thing, because there’s plenty of evidence of it being so in the [Bible].  The difference here is, in the [Bible] we don’t find anyone saying unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved.  Today this is clearly the case with followers of the Anthanasian Creed.

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

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  1 John 5:5 (NKJV)    

Think about the person “who believes” and “confesses that Jesus is the Son of God.”  Would you say this person is not saved, unless they believe the doctrine of the trinity?  I would say it makes perfect sense to stay clear of the Anthanasian Creed, because 1 John 4:15 and 1 John 5:5 prove the Anthanasian Creed makes no sense at all.  Whenever the Anthanasian Creed is lifted up, it’ll be by those that have chosen to believe it, over [Biblical] truths.

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) 

There’s only one way to God and it has absolutely nothing to do with the Anthanasian Creed, which was birthed well after the last entry of the New Testament.  “Jesus” is “the way, the truth, and the life.”  [Believing in] accepting what Jesus accomplished in the first century, is the [only] way “to the Father.”

The [Bible] holds true for us today, so I wouldn’t tinker with it.  What “Jesus said to him” then, endures forever.  Unlike the Anthanasian Creed, it makes perfect sense.

God bless.

It Just Makes Sense

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort.” 2 Corinthians 1:3 (NKJV)

In the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

“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.

“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)

As I listened to the local “Christian” radio station a follower of the Anthanasian Creed referenced Jesus’ second coming, saying, “Jesus is coming and it will be in God’s good time.”  I [totally] agree with the speaker on this point.  “But of that day and hour no one knows,” “but only the Father,” God.

Where we differ is, I believe there’s nothing beyond the power of Jesus’ blood to not only forgive our sins, but to save our souls from hell’s fire.

The Anthanasian Creed waters down Jesus’ blood, to the point of it being, powerless.

In Mark 13:32 “the Son is God,” “they are not three Gods, but one God,” is unaware of that “day an hour” that only the Father knows.  How can that be if “the Son is God”?  You can only make sense of it if Jesus is the Son of God and not “one God.”  It is clear from Mark 13:32 He does not know all things.

The Anthanasian Creed is the high priest of all false doctrines, and only made its way into the twenty first century by human reason.

People, like the speaker said, “Jesus is coming and it will be in God’s good time.”  Our job is to be ready, know Jesus.  It just makes sense.

God bless.

Have You Read This Book?

“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 who gave Himself a ransom for all, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. See 1 Timothy 2:6 (NKJV)

As I listened to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Have you read this book?  Do you see who Jesus is here?”  The speaker was referring to the [Bible].  I joined the program already in progress and this was the very first thing I heard.  I had hoped that the speaker would continue on to tell listeners to stay clear of the Anthanasian Creed.  With less than half of the thirty minute program remaining, knowing the speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed, it was wishful thinking on my part.

“Do you see who Jesus is here” is plain, simple, and from a [Biblical] perspective, easy to understand.  “Have you read this book?”  Whether you have or not, spend as much time as you can learning about Jesus, as given to us in the [Bible].  Stay clear of the Anthanasian Creed. 

There is no substitute for Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” and “this book,” the [Bible], gives us everything we need know about Him. 

God bless.

Be a Blessing

“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.” Ephesians 1:17 (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)

“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)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “We are to bless God because He blessed us.”  This after the speaker on the radio quoted a portion of Ephesians 1:3, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us.”  The speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

“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.

It does not bless God to change His message or the nature of His Son.

I listened to the thirty minute radio program, in its entirety, knowing the speaker would not speak [directly] to the words “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”  This is a common theme with followers of the Anthanasian Creed.  The speaker mentioned God, numerous times, and I agreed with everything the speaker had to say about Him.  Knowing the Anthanasian Creed is false doctrine, it is obvious that the speaker’s message wasn’t tied to “the Son is God,” which solely belongs to the Anthanasian Creed.

We are responsible for the entirety of the message we share about Jesus and it should align completely with the [Bible].  Be a blessing because “The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” blessed us.  Know Jesus is the Son of God and if you should find yourself within hearing distance of someone saying, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us,” be thankful for who Jesus Christ is and do not accept who the Anthanasian Creed tries to make Him be.

The Anthanasian Creed is a lie, it’s an absolute lie!  It deceitfully adds onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century.

God bless.

Second Hand Information

“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.” Ephesians 1:17 (NKJV)

In the name of He who when being asked “Are You then the Son of God” answered “You rightly say that I am,” Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  See Luke 22:70 (NKJV)

As I listened to the local “Christian” radio station a follower of the Anthanasian Creed said, “Stop getting information about Jesus second hand, get it from the bible.”  If that doesn’t say it’s time to shake the dust off your [Bible], I don’t know what does.

Nothing could be more beneficial to you, than reading the [Bible] daily, especially the events leading up to and including Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection.

It is disingenuous when a follower of the Anthanasian Creed says, “Stop getting information about Jesus second hand, get it from the bible.”  Second hand information, describes the Anthanasian Creeds false method of salvation to a T.

God bless.

In The Likeness of His Death

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 the Son of the living God, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. See John 6:69 (NKJV)

As I listened to the local “Christian” radio station a follower of the Anthanasian Creed said, speaking of the age of Mary the mother of Jesus, “She left school at twelve, if she went at all.”

There are two ways to see the story behind the Anthanasian Creed.  You can see it through the eyes of those who have chosen to believe it, or through the words given to us in the [Bible].  There’s no other way around it.  When we look at everything Jesus accomplished in the first century, which is available for all to see in the [Bible], we won’t find anyone linked to the Anthanasian Creed.  What became doctrine of the Catholic Church in 325-AD.  Just as the [Bible] doesn’t say anything about Mary leaving “school at twelve” years of age, the Anthanasian Creed will [only] be endorsed by those not mentioned in the [Bible].

Christians can be deceived but when that deception comes from people they trust, pastor’s priests and teachers just to name a few, there’s a good chance of them accepting it as truth.  In this case the [deception] danger comes, the moment the Anthanasian Creed is linked to God’s plan of salvation.

For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Romans 6:5-10 (NKJV) 

As a firm believer in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” I highly recommend staying clear of the Anthanasian Creed.  If you [believe in] trust Jesus, which is to say you were “crucified with Him,” your sins are forgiven forever.  Don’t let anyone tell you, you “shall” not “be in the likeness of His resurrection,” unless you believe the Anthanasian Creed which adds onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century.

Giving the [Bible] the final say, is the safe thing to do.  Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” is coming again for those who “have been united together in the likeness of His death,” that is saved according to the [Scriptures].

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

God bless.

The People That Influenced Christianity

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 precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

Jesus answered them and said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.” John 7:16 (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)

As I listened to the local “Christian” radio station a follower of the Anthanasian Creed referenced the names of those who have passed.  The speaker noted that they were “The people that influenced Christianity.”  These people are, not mentioned in the [Bible].    

It is possible to [believe in] accept what Jesus accomplished in the first century, that is saved according to [Scriptures], and be influenced by false teachings.  The Anthanasian Creed claims the only way to salvation, but obviously it adds onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century.

Nothing says Jesus’ teachings are trustworthy, more than, Jesus saying He is “the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”  “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.”  These [Scriptures] stay clear of the Anthanasian Creed. 

We don’t need to look outside the [Bible] for these things Jesus taught.  Nor do we have to believe man’s understanding of them to be saved.

If the message is coming from one calling themselves a “Christian,” cling to what agrees with Jesus’ teachings.  Even nonbelievers know enough about Jesus, to quote one of Jesus’ teachings with 100% accuracy.  I rejoice, and will continue to rejoice, each and every time they do.  Just as calling the Anthanasian Creed sound doctrine doesn’t make it so, it will be for those calling themselves “Christian.”

For those calling themselves “Christian,” when you talk about “the people that influenced Christianity,” use only the names of those mentioned in the [Bible].  We need to know what people believe and teach, agrees with what has been clearly laid out for us in the [Bible], God’s plan of salvation. 

The Anthanasian Creed, misses the mark.

God bless.

Love The Biblical Words

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

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard a follower of the Anthanasian Creed say, “Why don’t we use the biblical words, define them, and then love them?”  As one who loves Jesus, I say, respect the [Bible] for what it is the word of God, and then encourage others to do the same.

“As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.” John 15:9-10 (NKJV)

“This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” John 15:12 (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)

Jesus taught us to “love one another as” Jesus “loved” us.  You can be against the [Bible], or have it the source of your daily devotionals, the choice is yours to make. “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you.”  If you love the way “My God,” Jesus’ God, loved Him, then love one another as Jesus loved you.

I’m convinced of nothing having caused more people to turn away from [Biblical] truths to false teachings, than the Anthanasian Creed.  The Anthanasian Creed as “defined” by man created a false “method of salvation.”  It never should have made its way into the twenty first century.  It adds onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century.

I pray that you study, use, and then love the [Biblical] words just as God gave them to us.  Then love one another as Jesus loved us.

God bless.

Who Did He Pray To?

“The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.” 2 Corinthians 11:31 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who God sent to be the propitiation for our sins, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  See 1 John 4:8-11 (NKJV)

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)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Jesus, who is God, prayed a lot.”  The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

The [Biblical] Jesus, the one and only “Mediator between God and men,” prayed a lot.  It is well documented in the [Bible].  Who did He pray to?  God.

You Better Know What You're Talking About

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort.” 2 Corinthians 1:3 (NKJV)

In the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

As I listened to the local “Christian” radio station a follower of the Anthanasian Creed said, “When you talk about tithing you better know what you’re talking about.”  My first thought after hearing it was, what about the [Bible] as a whole?  When it comes to the [Bible] “You better know what you’re talking about.”  Unlike the [Bible], the Anthanasian Creed is man’s opinion. 

You can’t teach the Anthanasian Creed correctly, without saying Jesus missed the mark in the first century.

Anyone can [believe] in, or talk about the Anthanasian Creed, and not be saved according to the [Scriptures]. 

You can believe in Jesus, that is saved according to the [Scriptures], and know very little about Him.

Unlike earthly institutions called church, where the salvation message differs from one [denomination] church to the next, the kingdom of God is guaranteed to those who are saved according to the [Scriptures].  The one way ticket to the kingdom of God, isn’t [determined by] based on how much one [talks] about the Anthanasian Creed, let alone Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.”  Treating the Anthanasian Creed as if it never exists, will not keep one from entering the kingdom of God.  Ones salvation all comes down to that [precise] moment, when one [believes in] accepts what Jesus accomplished in the first century for themselves, the initiation of a personal relationship with Jesus if you will.

There’s an excess of belief systems to choose from these days, where Jesus is mentioned in some of them.  You can judge all of them using the [Bible].  The [Bible] is sound doctrine just as God intended it to be.  Let us leave it that way.

God bless.
