Teach Children Trinity?

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

In the name of Him who was given authority over all flesh, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. See John 17:2 (NKJV)

I heard a teacher on the local “Christian” radio station explaining how difficult it is to teach children, saying, “When I teach the gospel they don’t know trinity.”

The Nicene Creed, the Anthanasian Creed and the Apostles Creed are taught as being trustworthy today, in [most] earthly institutions called “church.”

I don’t look to any of any these creeds, because I know it’s the [Bible] guiding me to make right decisions, in every situation I may face.  Even when I fall short, the [Bible] is crystal clear as to what I am to do next.  

There is a lesson to be learned however, from the Apostles Creed.  Those believing it seem to be prepared to [openly] admit, that it wasn’t written by an apostle [of Jesus] in the first century.  If those seeing the Nicene Creed and Anthanasian Creed as “trustworthy,” would [continually] admit that they’re not written by anyone mentioned in the [Bible] as well.  It would make it easier for others to see that the [Bible] isn’t instructing us to teach children the doctrine of the “trinity.”

God bless.

God Forsaking God?

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 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)

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” Matthew 27:46 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, referring to Matthew 27:46, “The mystery of mysteries, God forsaking God.”  There’s no mystery here folks.  The speaker said “God forsaking God” is a mystery.  According to the [Scriptures], it’s unimaginable at best.

Let’s see what “mystery of mysteries” is behind the speaker’s, false statement.

We know the Anthanasian Creed is a by-product of “discussions” in 325-AD concerning who the [Biblical] Jesus is.  These “discussions” that led to one having to believe “the Son is God” to be saved, are not chronicled in the [Bible].  Thus making this [only] way to salvation, originated in 325-AD, an addition to what has been clearly laid out for us in the [Bible].  When you believe it’s the Son of God, Jesus, saying, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me,” exposes the speaker’s false statement.

There is no mystery here, because we know “Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”  The Anthanasian Creed, birthed well after the last entry of the New Testament, [clearly] contradicts Jesus’ words in Matthew 27:46, thus putting the entire [Bible] in jeopardy.

The [Bible] instructs us, to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ in truth, not to make changes to it.  The Anthanasian Creed is an artificial statement of what was believed to be trustworthy back then, but turned out to be false doctrine.  People have chosen to believe this false doctrine all the way into the twenty first century.  

I do not believe one has to believe the Anthanasian Creed, to be saved.

In the [Bible] I’ve yet to find Jesus saying, unless one believes [He] Jesus is God one cannot be saved.  There’s no evidence of it being so in the [Bible].  If you disagree, you’ll be exposing yourself as one believing the only way to salvation, requires more than what the [Bible] says.

I’ll [believe in] cling to the words of Jesus, as given in the [Bible], all day long.

God bless.

The Bible Doesn't Support Additions Made to It

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.

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Those who once believed the bible are now tampering with the bible.”  The speaker went onto say, “Why would anyone teach the bible, if they don’t believe it.”  Since there was no mention of anything tied to the Anthanasian Creed in the speaker’s message, I can say it was the most [resounding] message I have ever heard, as to why we should leave the [Bible] well enough alone.    

The speaker mentioned a few [religious books] available to us today, targeting specific [religious groups].  The speaker accused those responsible for writing these books, of “tampering with the bible.”  I, like the speaker, would not recommend these “books” to anyone.   

I would say this to followers of the Anthanasian Creed, because the Anthanasian Creed isn’t just false doctrine to those rejecting it, its false doctrine.  Stay clear of the Anthanasian Creed, something [obviously] adding, unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved, to the [Bible]. 

The follower of the Anthanasian Creed would have to say they are the only ones who can explain that one must believe the doctrine of the trinity in order to be saved, because the [Bible] doesn’t support additions like this to be made to it.

Leaving the [Bible] well enough alone my friends, is the safest thing we could do.

God bless.

The God Jesus Ascended To

“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 name of He who shall stand and feed His flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord His God, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  See Micah 5:4 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “The last thing you say isn’t what defines you.”  My concern is that people just might believe this.

If someone is calling upon Jesus’ name to save them and it ends up being the last thing they say here on earth, it defines this person as a born again believer in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.”   

I’m concerned about people saying that the [Bible] supports the Anthanasian Creed, and [somehow] thinks that’s fine.  The Anthanasian Creed doesn’t serve the purposes of God.  It makes it so the [Bible] alone is not enough.  There is nothing fine about that.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”  John 3:16 (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)

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” Matthew 27:46 (NKJV)

When “Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying,” “My God, My God,” whose God is He crying out to?  As one who loves Jesus, I say, the God Jesus “ascended to,” and the God Jesus “cried out” to, are one and the same, Jesus’ God, “My God.”

There’s nothing complex about God’s plan of salvation.  Two thousand years ago, Jesus died on a cross for the sin of the world.  “Whoever believes in” Jesus “should not perish but have everlasting life.”  The [Bible] says, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” is the final sacrifice for sin.

“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 says, if not for the doctrine of the trinity, “You cannot be saved.” 

There’s a gap of 300-600 years between what Jesus accomplished in the first century and the birth of the Anthanasian Creed, depending on which follower of the Anthanasian Creed you believe.  It doesn’t matter who wrote the Anthanasian Creed, it’ll always be something that adds onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century.

Let’s go back to the previously mentioned “person,” who had only enough time to call on Jesus’ name with their last breath to save them.  Would you say “said person” fell short of salvation, because “said person’s” time on earth was cut short?  The amount of time it would have taken for someone to say unless you believe the doctrine of the trinity you can’t be saved?  I don’t think so.

“Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”  Acts 4:12 (NKJV)

“No other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved,” that would be the name of Jesus.

What would the follower of the Anthanasian Creed have to say about the salvation of “said person’s” soul?  I would suggest they say the [Bible] alone is right.  The God Jesus “ascended to,” and the God Jesus “cried out” to, is Jesus’ God.  The Anthanasian Creed, had absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of “said person’s” soul.

“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.

Don’t allow for the Anthanasian Creed to shape the way you see the salvation of one’s soul.  If you do, you’ll have “said person” as far away from salvation as one could possibly be where “he shall perish everlastingly.”

God bless.

The Aim of All The Scriptures

“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 did not come to destroy but to fulfill, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. See Matthew 5:17-18 (NKJV)

If someone teaching the [Bible] is sufficient enough as is, would you expect to hear unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved?  Some would say “Yes” but, because the doctrine of the trinity is man-made (well after the last entry of the New Testament) and not inspired, they’d be adding onto what has been clearly laid out for us in the [Bible].  Those doing this are followers of the Anthanasian Creed.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”  John 3:16 (NKJV) 

As one who loves Jesus, I wouldn’t expect to hear things being added to, or subtracted from the [Bible].  The aim of all the [Scriptures] is to tell us who the [Biblical] Jesus is and how He leads us to salvation.  “Whoever believes in” Jesus “should not perish but have everlasting life.” 

I didn’t have to choose between the defenders of the Anthanasian Creed and the Arians who spoke against it, because I didn’t look to either of them for my salvation.  The events that took place in 325-AD, are not chronicled in the [Bible].

The common person didn’t have access to the [Bible], during the dispute over the “validity” of the Anthanasian Creed.  The [Bible’s] absence of support for the Anthanasian Creed is proof enough.  If those responsible for the Anthanasian Creed, knew the evidence of it adding onto God’s plan of salvation would be made available for all to see one day, they wouldn’t have allowed the Anthanasian Creed to become doctrine of the Catholic Church in 325-AD.

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

I have a hard time believing these followers of the Anthanasian Creed back then, didn’t know they were adding onto what had been clearly laid out for them in the [Bible].  They have you looking to the Anthanasian Creed for your salvation by saying “which except you believe faithfully and firmly, you cannot be saved,” when these words are not in the [Bible].  Followers of the Anthanasian Creed today, continue to miss this point. 

If people reject what I have to say about the Anthanasian Creed, it doesn’t change me or more importantly my salvation.  I’m comfortable with how the God of the [Bible] sees me, as one [believing in] accepting what Jesus accomplished in the first century.

God bless.

Deceitful Workers

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

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11:13-14 (NKJV)

How does one know the difference between “deceitful workers” and those preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in truth, when the message appears to agree with Jesus’ teachings?

The key is to trust the [Bible] is sufficient as is.

People have the freedom to say whatever they like about Jesus.  Call it free will.  The [Bible] sets the record straight.  You either choose to believe in Jesus according to the [Scriptures], or you do not, that is to salvation. 

A message will appear to agree with Jesus’ teachings, when it lines up with what one has been taught to believe about Jesus.  If a person is not willing to crosscheck what’s being said with the [Bible], there’s a good chance they won’t know if they’re on the right side of Jesus’ teachings.

Some “deceitful workers” will have [absolutely] nothing to do with the [Biblical] Jesus others will encourage people to take the Anthanasian Creed bait, causing them to doubt their salvation.  

If someone says they’ve learned from top Christian leaders, would you believe everything they say about Jesus?  Sadly enough, some have.  The one that has experienced God’s amazing grace for themselves, that is saved according to the [Scriptures], should never believe everything they hear, let alone doubt their salvation unless it is [Biblically] sound.

If a message is pointing you to the cross, on which you know [believe] Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” died for you, give thanks to God. 

God bless.

The Unchanging Word of God

If the goal is to deliver the unchanging word of God to an ever-changing world, don’t subscribe to the Anthanasian Creed.

Standing in The Crossroad

“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 Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

If you’re confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of your life, but believing that you wouldn’t be saved if rejecting the Anthanasian Creed altogether, you’re standing in a crossroad.  The roads before you are the [Bible] and, the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].  The decision that needs to be made as to which road to take is between you and the all-knowing God of the [Bible].

It is my obligation to tell you that sometime after choosing to believe in Jesus Christ, it is likely that you’ve mistaken the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible] for the [Bible].  The person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, is saved.

Some believe that this person is not saved without first believing the Anthanasian Creed, something that surfaced and became doctrine of the Catholic Church in 325-AD.  These are followers of the Anthanasian Creed.  For the past sixteen hundred plus year’s, people have been led to believe the only way to salvation is found in the Anthanasian Creed, when the writings of those found in the [Bible] say differently.

It’s Sunday.  A man enters the local church.  He’s in town on business and hasn’t been seen inside a church for over fifty years, except for weddings and funerals.  If you knew this man you’d say, he’s not interested in hearing about the [Bible].  He’s greeted by many, but remains a stranger to them.

The message he heard that day was taken straight from the [Bible], believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved.  Unbeknownst to those present that day the man wasn’t saved, when he entered the church that is.

Praise God, before the entire congregation, the man confessed to being a sinner, thanked Jesus for dying on a cross for him, and now believes in Jesus Christ.  If I was present that day, I’d say this man is saved.

After church the man was invited to lunch, an opportunity to celebrate the moment.  During this time he mentioned that he was in town for another week, and would like to get together again.  “There’s a [Bible] study on Wednesday night,” they said.  With great joy, he accepts the invitation.

It’s Wednesday.  For the first time this born again believer in Jesus Christ heard, unless one believes the doctrine of the “Trinity” they cannot be saved.  Confused, the man says, “Am I saved?  Sunday’s message opened my eyes as to who Jesus is, what He did for me.  It changed my life.  All I want to do now is tell people about Jesus.  What is this doctrine of the trinity?”

The rest is between you and the all-knowing God of the [Bible], if you should happen to find yourself standing in the crossroad.

God bless.

Faith That Pleases God

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

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

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard about trusting God at all times and, “If you get this wrong you will never have the faith that pleases God.”  There wasn’t a single mention of anything tied to the Anthanasian Creed in the speaker’s message, so I was more than happy to agree with what the speaker had to say about trusting God. 

If you believe the Anthanasian Creed does not add onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century however, I would not agree with that.  It is possible for someone to quote [Scripture] only to later, lift up the Anthanasian Creed.

Unlike God’s plan of salvation where everything points to having to believe in Jesus Christ to be saved, the Anthanasian Creed has them believing the doctrine of the trinity.

When you trust those believing the Anthanasian Creed, you won’t see that the Anthanasian Creed adds onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century.  However, if you trust God and thus the [Bible] alone, you are on your way to having “the faith that pleases God.”

God bless.

Won't Go To Hell

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”  John 3:16 (NKJV)

If you can’t believe or discuss that the Anthanasian Creed adds onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century, you’ll continue to give folks what they don’t need to hear.

“Whoever believes in” Jesus “should not perish but have everlasting life,” won’t go to hell.  This holds true for all peoples of the world, whether they know anything about the Anthanasian Creed, or not.

Jesus Doesn't Point us to It

“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 did not come to destroy but to fulfill, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. See Matthew 5:17-18 (NKJV)

Yet in all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39 (NKJV)

Would you say “nor things to come” includes the Anthanasian Creed which says without it, no one can be saved?  I would.  The Anthanasian Creed is merely a distraction.

The Anthanasian Creed was birthed well after the last entry of the New Testament.  It clearly states, unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved.  This wouldn’t be an issue today, if not for the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].

When you read the [Bible], don’t expect to find someone saying unless you believe the doctrine of the trinity you cannot be saved, because Jesus doesn’t point us to it.

Those trusting the Anthanasian Creed should readily admit, that no one has to believe the doctrine of the trinity to be saved.

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

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Wherever you are in the world come to Jesus.”  I say “Amen!” to that!  As much as I would like to leave it at that, I can’t.  I’m [deeply] concerned about those who have not come to [believe in] Jesus Christ, who may hear unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved.  It doesn’t matter if they hear it before they choose, or after they’ve chosen to [believe in] Jesus Christ according to the [Scriptures].

No one should ever have to hear, unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved.

Additions to The Bible Leads People in The Wrong Direction

Among others, believers in the Anthanasian Creed would speak against anyone attempting to prove the [Bible] wrong today.  Accepting the Anthanasian Creeds additions to the [Bible] leads people in the wrong direction.  If you conclude the [Bible] is trustworthy as is, then do not look to the Anthanasian Creed for anything more.

When I See Jesus

“We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.” Colossians 1:3 (NKJV)

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

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

By saying “you cannot be saved,” are followers of the Anthanasian Creed doing the right thing?  I don’t think so.  If you’ve been swayed to believe the doctrine of the trinity or else “you cannot be saved,” you’d fall right in line with those teaching this false doctrine.  The Anthanasian Creed is the high priest of all false doctrines, because it [clearly] adds onto God’s plan of salvation.

God’s plan of salvation, which is available for all to see in the [Bible], does not include unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one “cannot be saved.”  The writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible] have added this concept.  Giving the [Bible] the final say will [always] set the record straight.

In a world bent on silencing [Biblical] truths, I don’t get discouraged when being victimized for standing up for God’s plan of salvation.  It is the right thing.  It’ll be worth it all when I see Jesus.

Belief in The Anthanasian Creed Can't Save You

“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 did not come to destroy but to fulfill, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. See Matthew 5:17-18 (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)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard that the tomb is empty and, Jesus is in heaven.  For followers of Jesus the speaker suggested, “Jesus is the go ahead God.”

“I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.”  

One should never forget Jesus saying His God and His brethren’s God are one and the same actually happened after Jesus’ death burial and resurrection and prior to His ascension into heaven.

Belief in the Anthanasian Creed can’t save you, but it will have you saying things that aren’t true.  Things like unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved. 

According to the Anthanasian Creed, Jesus’ brethren in the first century are not saved.  If you believe they’re with Jesus at this precious moment, while believing unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved, you are putting your faith in a contradiction.  I’d stay clear of forecasting the eternal destiny of one’s soul, using the doctrine of the trinity as a measuring stick.

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

Belief in the doctrine of the trinity, which is to say the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God,” is a must have for followers of the Anthanasian Creed.  They’ll have a way to explain how Jesus is “the go ahead God,” by ignoring the fact of it being the Anthanasian Creed and not the [Bible] saying unless one believes it one cannot be saved.  Don’t let your mind wander to far here, because according to 1 John 4:15 “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God,” the Anthanasian Creed is not to be trusted.

[Believing in] accepting the [Biblical] fact “that Jesus is the Son of God” guarantees you will be forever with Jesus in the kingdom of God.  Rejecting the Anthanasian Creed has a 0% chance of preventing this.

If you’re [believing in] confessing “Jesus is the Son of God,” your God and Jesus’ God are one and the same.  Praise God!

Jesus Slept God Doesn't

“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 name of Him who was given all authority in heaven and on earth, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. See Matthew 28:18 (NKJV)

Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched out. But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. Luke 8:22-24 (NKJV)

Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.  Psalms 121:4 (NKJV)

“And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, ‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass:’” Revelation 2:18 (NKJV)

The God of “Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.”  “The Son of God,” Jesus, “He fell asleep” in “a boat.”  Anyone saying the Anthanasian Creed is sound doctrine, can’t teach that Jesus “fell asleep” in “a boat.”

Jesus slept, God doesn’t.

The Anthanasian Creed Separated Itself From God's Plan Of Salvation

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.

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “There are people today confessing to be Christians passing on world stuff.”  I totally agree with the speaker on this point. 

When true followers of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” are found conforming to the ways of this world, they should be seeking forgiveness, not passing on those worldly ways for personal gain (my words not the speakers).    

How did the Anthanasian Creed make its way into the twenty first century, without being questioned by so many?  It was passed on as authentic [suitable] for “Christians,” by those they trusted but in reality those passing it on were actually mishandling the [Bible].  [Biblically] speaking, concerning the Anthanasian Creed, one shouldn’t believe it as it adds onto what is given to us in the [Bible]. 

People attempt to justify the validity of the Anthanasian Creed by labeling it as historic Christian faith.  Here’s the problem with this so called “historic Christian faith,” it is faith in something that is not true. The Anthanasian Creed separated itself from God’s plan of salvation, when it declared unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved.   

Keeping my eyes on what Jesus accomplished in the first century, which is available for all to see in the [Bible], keeps me from having to believe unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved.

It’s easy for me to believe, there’s people that see problems with the Anthanasian Creed but choose to say nothing to others about them.  They know they are saved according to the [Scriptures].  I totally understand why someone would choose to do such a thing.  If it be the case for you, fear not.  The [Biblical] Jesus is on your side.

I’ll pass on the news that the Anthanasian Creed adds onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century, because I know it’s true.

The Voices of Those Not Mentioned in The Bible

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

“The Son is God”

You won’t find these words in the [Bible], yet some will say the evidence of it being so is in the [Bible].  I’m not one of them.  To set the record straight the voices of those not mentioned in the [Bible] won’t sway me from trusting the [Bible] as is.

We best not impose our own understanding of the [Scriptures] on anyone, especially when it concerns the salvation of one’s soul.  If you say one has to believe “The Son is God” to be saved, you are trusting something that is not in the [Bible] for your salvation and that is not God’s plan for you.    

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

Someone Calling on Jesus’ Name to Save Them

“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)

Would you say the [Bible] wants us to believe in someone, not mentioned in the [Bible], to be saved?  I wouldn’t.  The [Bible] points us to having to believe in Jesus alone, for our salvation. 

The Anthanasian Creed states that unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved.  Would you say this is something one ought to consider in their daily walk with Jesus?  I wouldn’t.  If they’re saved according to the [Scriptures], it shouldn’t take one long to see that the Anthanasian Creed is false doctrine.  One would have to intentionally ignore the significance of [believing in] Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” to consider the possibility that someone rejecting the doctrine of trinity is not saved. 

I’ve witnessed a number of people answering the call to salvation.  When I hear someone calling on Jesus’ name to save them, it reinforces what I have known for quite some time, that you only need to believe in Jesus to be saved.  There’s nothing to gain by believing the Anthanasian Creed.  On the flip side there’s plenty to lose, that is time spent on keeping the Anthanasian Creed up and running.

The fact that the Anthanasian Creed is behind this having to believe the doctrine of the trinity to be saved is clear.  I don’t have to consider the possibility of it not being false doctrine, I know it. The Anthanasian Creed [clearly] adds onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century.

What kind of message would the [Bible] be sending, if it sanctions adding things onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century?  As one who loves Jesus, I would say it would not be a thoughtful one.

God bless.

In The Time it Took For You to Read John 3:16

Praise God, for you are fearfully and wonderfully made.  See Psalms 139:14 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who was given all authority in heaven and on earth, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. See Matthew 28:18 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, a speaker refer to a common statement of false teachers, being “We’re all looking for some addition to the bible.”  The speaker wanted nothing to do with it, saying, “The bible is all we need, sufficient, and that we might teach it.”  I agree with the speaker on this point.

The God of the [Bible] knows who’s saying “The bible is all we need, sufficient.”  I’d guess that the “majority” of those believing this is true, would say they believe in Jesus Christ.  I can only speak of what I know to be true, and this keeps me from saying things I shouldn’t. 

This wasn’t always the case with me but for quite some time now (by the grace of God), I’ve been quick to listen and slow to speak.  This is not what I see, when I watch the news on television.  Some politicians wouldn’t like the way I handle things if they knew I changed the channel, when specific people speak.

The road leading to what I call the high priest of all false doctrines, the Anthanasian Creed, is wide.  It includes “We’re all looking for some addition to the bible,” “and that we might teach it.”  It adds onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century.  You can’t teach the Anthanasian Creed properly, without adding onto God’s plan of salvation.  It is not good to continue traveling down this road. 

The Anthanasian Creed is responsible for many false teachings but the supreme one is, unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved. 

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”  John 3:16 (NKJV)

In the time it took for you to read John 3:16 above, anybody can be saved according to the [Scriptures].  In the [precise] moment one chooses to believe in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” they’re saved according to the [Scriptures].  The one who does not believe this individual is saved according to the [Scriptures], because they believe the Anthanasian Creed has something to say about it, is not to be trusted.

“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.

In the time it took for you to read this [small] portion of the Anthanasian Creed, everyone on planet earth could not only have read John 3:16 for themselves, they very well could have been saved according to the [Scriptures].

“Whoever believes in” Jesus, that’s all it takes.

Just as it is easy to prove Jesus’ earthly ministry lasted about three and a half years, so it would be for me to prove the Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul.

God bless.

From Behind The Pulpit

“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)

There’s irony when one says beware of false teachers from behind the pulpit, when they teach unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved.

God bless.

When Emphasis is Put on The Bible

“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 He who said ‘If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing,’ Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. See John 8:54 (NKJV)

The rightness of the [Bible] lessens, when emphasis is put on the Anthanasian Creed, other than to show that it’s false.

[Biblically] speaking, by saying unless you believe the doctrine of the trinity you cannot be saved, you are saying God’s plan of salvation is subject to the Anthanasian Creed.  The Anthanasian Creed, places the importance on believing itself as the only way of salvation.  Keep in mind, anyone that will tell you, unless you believe the doctrine of the trinity you cannot be saved, is not someone mentioned in the [Bible].  Even though you may find this difficult to receive today, it was easy for me to write it.

I can’t recall a single time in my life when I told anyone, unless you believe the doctrine of the trinity you cannot be saved.  However, back in the days when I was terrified of speaking against the teachings of the Anthanasian Creed, prior to the release of my first book in 2009, I would have said I believe the Anthanasian Creed in order to avoid confrontation.  Since the release of my first book in 2009 however, I’ve openly proclaimed that the Anthanasian Creed is the high priest of all false doctrines.

There is no difference between me saying I believed the Anthanasian Creed back then, and someone saying they believe the Anthanasian Creed today.  The Anthanasian Creed is responsible for a lot of false declarations.  The question for someone saying it today is what will they do with the knowledge that it is false.

The one [believing in] accepting what Jesus accomplished in the first century is saved according to the [Scriptures], when emphasis is put on the [Bible].       

God bless.

Staying Faithful to God

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 He who said ‘Be quiet and come out of him,’ Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  See Luke 4:35 (NKJV)

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”  John 3:16 (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)

Recently, on the local “Christian” radio station I heard “The importance of staying faithful to God.”  To the speaker’s credit, there was not a single mention of anything linked to the Anthanasian Creed in their message.  Knowing what Jesus accomplished in the first century and staying faithful to the word of God led me straight to rejecting the Anthanasian Creeds way of salvation.

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

Don’t confuse the significance of rejecting the [Biblical] Jesus, with the insignificance of rejecting the Anthanasian Creed.

“Jesus said” He is “the way, the truth, and the life,” the only way “to the Father.” 

“That whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

“The importance of staying faithful to God” and navigating people towards the [Biblical] Jesus, are one and the same.

God bless.

The Bible is Believable

“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)

“Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law of the Prophets.” Matthew 7:12 (NKJV)

There are matters other than the coronavirus to be concerned about these days.

Anything short of believing the word of God the way it has been given to us in the [Bible], leaves one open to believing things that they shouldn’t.  For me, [believing in] accepting what Jesus accomplished in the first century, keeps me from believing the Anthanasian Creed.

The [Bible] is believable as is.  The path to salvation doesn’t go through the Anthanasian Creed.

“Whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them.” 

Many people choose parts of the [Bible] to believe and profess while discarding other parts when they don’t meet their needs.  This inconsistency is not what God intended, and results in doing to others what they wouldn’t want done to themselves.

A person can say whatever they like about me, but I don’t have to accept it if I know it’s not true.  I would confess to things pertaining to myself that I know to be true but don’t expect me to go any further than what I’m responsible for.   

Forgiving the one making [false] accusations against me and then treating this individual as if it never materialized, is what you can anticipate from me.

The Anthanasian Creed is responsible for one addition after another, to what Jesus accomplished in the first century.  If you were to tell me followers of the Anthanasian Creed are to be believed, I would know this is not true.

God bless.
