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.
