Before All Things?

“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 precious and beautiful name of He who instructs us to “Go and do likewise,” Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  See Luke 10:30-37 (NKJV)

“Whosoever will be saved, before all things, it is necessary that he hold the catholic (i. e. , universal, (Christian) faith. Which faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.”  - First two sentences of the Anthanasian Creed.

Unfortunately the Anthanasian Creed has made its way into the twenty first century, but is it [Biblically] safe to tell others “except” one keeps it “whole and undefiled without doubt he shall perish everlastingly”?  I don’t think so.

If we have to trust the Anthanasian Creed to get saved, for fear we “perish everlastingly,” we’re all doomed to hell’s fire.

Turning one’s back to what Jesus accomplished in the first century, is the greatest mistake one could make.  Giving credence to the Anthanasian Creeds “perish everlastingly,” is to put the Anthanasian Creed “before all things.”

The sooner followers of the Anthanasian Creed turn their backs to it, the better.  We can say, write whatever we like, as we have free will, but to give credence to the Anthanasian Creeds “perish everlastingly” is ridiculous, and I’m being kind here.

“This is the catholic (Christian) faith; which except you believe faithfully and firmly, you cannot be saved.”  - Last sentence of the Anthanasian Creed.  

The Anthanasian Creed and the doctrine of the trinity, go hand in hand.  They wouldn’t exists if not for the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].  Think about that, the next time you hear someone say unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity they “cannot be saved.” 

God bless.
