As Crazy As This May Sound

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

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “The bible is ultimately one story.”  I agree with this quote as is but something about it has me wanting to hear more.  The speaker’s use of the word “ultimately,” is clear because I know the Anthanasian Creed lurks in the background here.

Is the [Bible] “ultimately” one story as laid out for us in the [Bible], which is where I stand, or is the [Bible] one story after the additions made to it by the Anthanasian Creed?  I would need to know the answer to this question, before I [totally] agree with the speaker on this point.

Followers of the Anthanasian Creed give every reason to believe that once a person is saved according to the [Scriptures], they must now believe the Anthanasian Creed, to be saved.  As crazy as this may sound, it’s exactly what’s going on here.

The individual searching for the words “the Son is God” in the [Bible], would find no reason to look to the [Bible] in the first place for them, had they not been made aware of the Anthanasian Creed.  This in of itself clears anyone mentioned in the [Bible] of being responsible for the doctrine of the trinity.

It was the Anthanasian Creed that introduced “the Son is God” to the world in 325-AD and [only] those believing the Anthanasian Creed since, maintained it into the twenty first century. “Study material’s” concerning the doctrine of the trinity have been shaped by them, only adds onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century.

We don’t know the [exact] day of Jesus’ birth but the [Bible] does give us, everything we need know about it.  I’m going to focus on Micah’s prophecy concerning the matter.

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting.” Therefore He shall give them up, Until the time that she who is in labor has given birth; Then the remnant of His brethren Shall return to the children of Israel.  And He shall stand and feed His flock In the strength of the Lord, In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God; And they shall abide, For now He shall be great To the ends of the earth; Micah 5:2-4 (NKJV)

“The one to be Ruler in Israel” is Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.”  This same Jesus, is going to “stand and feed His flock In the strength of the Lord, In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God.” 

 

When the doctrine of the trinity is taught as believable, then the gospel message can’t be left well enough alone.  The Anthanasian Creeds believe it [or else] false method of salvation wouldn’t exists at all, if not for the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].

 

If the doctrine of the trinity is taught as the false doctrine that it is, then the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” will have absolutely nothing to do with the one who was [actually] born in “Bethlehem,” the [Biblical] Jesus.  The use of the words “His God” in Micah 5:4, that is to say Jesus’ God, shows “the Son is God” isn’t even close to Micah’s prophecy.

Jesus will “stand and feed His flock In the strength of the Lord, In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God.”

God bless.

How Is That Biblical?

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested towards us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4:8-11 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who God sent to be the propitiation for our sins, 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.”  “And in this Trinity none is before or after other; none is greater or less than another; But the whole persons are coeternal together, and coequal:” -Anthanasian Creed

Those saying unless you believe this you cannot be saved, are false teachers.  How is that [Biblical]?  The [Bible] is clear concerning the matter. 

There’s no mention of anyone having to believe “the Son is God” to be saved in the [Bible].  This makes everything related to the Anthanasian Creeds false method of salvation, a byproduct of those not mentioned in the [Bible].  Since we have access to the [Bible], identifying the works of those not mentioned in the [Bible] won’t be a problem.

It doesn’t matter how much one claims to know about the [Bible], or how little for that matter.  We’re not to believe everything one has to say about the [Bible].  We’re supposed to believe just what’s in the [Bible].  History shows, because the Anthanasian Creed has made its way into the twenty first century, that people are reluctant to investigate [Biblical] matters for themselves, and rely on what they have been told.

Whenever, wherever the gospel message is preached in truth, no one should leave having to believe “the Son is God” to be saved.  The Anthanasian Creed sounds great to those believing it, until they have to answer for the additions it has made to the [Bible].

“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)

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.  2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)

“Whoever believes in” Jesus “should not perish but have everlasting life,” that is saved according to the [Scriptures].  From that [precious] moment of salvation, this now saved individual “is a new creation.”  “Old things have passed away,” which would include any knowledge of the Anthanasian Creed, “behold, all things have become new.”  This is the gospel message, as laid out for us in the [Bible].  

I wish people would see the [Bible] for what it is, God’s gift to us.

God bless.

But The Good News Is

“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 He who says ‘Life is more than food,’ Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  See Luke 12:22-24 (NKJV)

In the [Bible], have you ever come across the words [the Son is God]?  I’ve spent a “small” portion of my time here on earth either reading or listening to the [Bible], I’m 67 years young now, and I have yet to find these words in the [Bible].  If you’ve never opened a [Bible] in your entire life time, let this be a good reason for you to do so now.  See if you can find these words in the [Bible], and let me know if you do. 

In your search if you should happen to come across someone saying that there’s [actual] evidence of [the Son is God] in the [Bible], they would have to be someone who [actually] admits these words aren’t in the [Bible].  Anything else they’ll have to say about the [Bible], because the Anthanasian Creed is behind it all, is questionable at best.

Could the follower of the Anthanasian Creed be saved?  “Yes,” if they [believe in] accept what Jesus accomplished in the first century, they are saved according to the [Scriptures].

If those confessing to be a Christian today rely on the Anthanasian Creed, for whatever, could they still claim to be followers of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus”?  This isn’t a trick question folks.  The Anthanasian Creed is false doctrine.  The moment one believes, unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved, they’re placing the Anthanasian Creed before everything Jesus accomplished in the first century.  What they have actually accomplished here is, the Anthanasian Creed is now between them and what Jesus accomplished in the first century.  Followers of that creed will tell you not so, but proving it so won’t be problem.  But the good news is, because the Anthanasian Creed has nothing to do with one’s salvation, those who [believe in] Jesus according to the [Scriptures], are on the right side of God’s plan of salvation.

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 said to her,” “go to My brethren and say to them, I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.”  If what Jesus said is true, and there’s every reason to believe that it is, then Jesus and His followers have the same God and Father.  This in of itself leaves the Anthanasian Creeds [the Son is God], defenseless.  Putting this one [Biblical] truth aside, the Anthanasian Creed itself provides all the evidence one needs, showing it adds onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century.  That’s the problem with the Anthanasian Creed saying “you cannot be saved” unless you believe the Anthanasian Creed, it has [absolutely] nothing to do with God’s plan of salvation.

Please just take the [Bible] for what it is, trustworthy, the inspired word of God.

God bless.

The Line Between Right And Wrong

“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)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, referring to what’s behind these evil acts taking place in the world these days, “The blurring of the line between right and wrong.”  I would agree with the speaker, but I wouldn’t have made it appear as if this was a new thing.

A good example is the Anthanasian Creed making its way into the twenty first century.  It began with “The blurring of the line between right and wrong,” when it comes to [Biblical] truths.  Today, as it was back then, the Anthanasian Creeds false method of salvation, contradicts [Biblical] truths.

All falsehoods begin with “the blurring of the line between right and wrong.”  The longer one believes the lie then what is on the “right” side “of the line,” in this case God’s plan of salvation, becomes less and less acceptable as is.

The warning about adding things to the [Bible] was well documented, long before the Anthanasian Creed made its way to the drawing board in 325-AD.

God bless.

The Man Who Died on a Cross

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.

What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.  Philippians 1:18 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “If the man who died on a cross two thousand years ago isn’t God, then he can’t save anyone.”

Beware of people who quote [Scriptures] regularly, and defend the Anthanasian Creed as if their salvation depends on it.  Philippians 1:18 is clear “whether in pretense or in truth,” these people operate “in pretense” [and] “in truth.” 

Even when a non-believer quotes a verse of [Scripture], just the way God intended for it to be, as laid out for us in the [Bible], “in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.”

Anyone can say [the Son is God] but as soon as they say, unless one believes [the Son is God] one cannot be saved, they have crossed the line.  In this I will not rejoice, because the words [The Son is God] aren’t in the [Bible].  In the maze of all that man has added to what Jesus accomplished in the first century, is where you’ll find the Anthanasian Creeds [the Son is God] “knotted” to the Son of God.

It’s not right to add things onto God’s plan of salvation.  Why?  Because it’s not what the [Bible] instructs us to do.

Indeed He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant. To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will give You as a light to the Gentiles, That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.”  Isaiah 49:6 (NKJV)

When God said “That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth,” was He speaking of Himself?  No.  “It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant.”  He instructed us to keep our eyes on the Son of God, Jesus.

“I will not execute the fierceness of My anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, the Holy one in your midst; And I will not come with terror.” Hosea 11:9 (NKJV)

When God said “For I am God, and not man,” do you think God wants us to believe He’s the man who died on a cross two thousand years ago?  The mere thought of it is terrifying to me.

“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)

“Whoever believes in” Jesus, who died on that cross two thousand years ago, “should not perish but have everlasting life.”

God bless.

The Mediator

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son.  He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.  And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. 1 John 5:9-13 (NKJV)

In the name of He who said ‘If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes,’ Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  See Mark 9:23 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, referring to believers in Jesus, “Jesus not only died for us He works in us.”  I love it when I hear things like this.  I give thanks to God for sending His Son Jesus, who was first and foremost on my mind after hearing this quote.

And we know that all things work together for good to love who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.  Romans 8:28 (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)

There’s something about knowing that I can’t please God all the time and also knowing He sent a Mediator.  I [believe in] accept what Jesus accomplished in the first century, is to be on the right side of God’s plan of salvation.  Simply, Jesus mediates on my behalf (1 Timothy 2:5-7), thus I can trust all things will work out just fine (Romans 8:28).

I pray God all things will work out just fine for you, as well.    

God bless.

Where The Bible is Taught as Truth

Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercies endure forever.  Psalm 106:1 (NKJV)

In the name of He who asked ‘So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among thieves,’ Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. See Luke 10:36 (NKJV)

 “Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long-suffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” 2 Timothy 4:2-5 (NKJV)

Where are you going to go find both the Anthanasian Creed and the [Bible] being taught as truth?

History shows us that one place would be, at a local church.  Another would be a seminary, where if something doesn’t agree with what’s being taught in them a falsehood it will be.

One place you won’t find it however, is where the Anthanasian Creed is communicated as false doctrine.  Where the [Bible] is taught as truth, there is no place for the Anthanasian Creed.

What would the [Bible] carrying believer in Jesus Christ do, without the Anthanasian Creed?

“Preach the word!”

What We Have Here on Earth is Temporary

“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 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)

“So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God.” The Anthanasian Creed

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “The gospel shapes every area of our lives.”  I agree with the speaker on this point.  [Believing in] accepting the gospel message, as laid out for us in the [Bible], “shapes every area of our lives.”

I have yet to hear a follower of the Anthanasian Creed say that the Anthanasian Creed “shapes every area of our lives.”  What they continue to teach however, that is unless one believes “the Son is God” [the doctrine of the trinity] one cannot be saved, is nothing less than false doctrine.     

The [good news] gospel message, is available for all to see in the [Bible].  The Anthanasian Creeds false “method of salvation” is anything but good news and wouldn’t exists at all, if not for the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].

There’s no [safer] better way to tell Jesus’ story, than to trust [Scripture] alone.  In a world bent on silencing [Biblical] truths, everyone would be better off, if it’s the only thing they hear about Jesus.

The God of the [Bible] abides in the person who confesses that Jesus is the Son of God.  Would you say this is something worth looking into?  If you say “No” not interested, you’ll be prolonging the inevitable. 

What we have here on earth is temporary.  The [ultimate] prize, is to be forever with Jesus in the kingdom of God.  The most important decision one must make in his or her life is to believe in, or turn away from [reject], Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.”

Do you believe Jesus is the Son of God?  If you say “Yes,” you’d be on the right side of history, saved according to the [Scriptures].  The person [believing] confessing “Jesus is the Son of God” is saved according to the [Scriptures], and kingdom of God bound.  This is God’s plan of salvation in nutshell, and the Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Rejecting the Anthanasian Creed, won’t keep those who are saved according to the [Scriptures] from entering the kingdom of God.

The alternative to being with Jesus in the kingdom of God is hell.  It is reserved for those who discard what Jesus accomplished in the first century.

So, the God of the [Bible] abides in the person who confesses that Jesus is the Son of God.  Would you say this is something worth looking into?         

God bless.

Something to be Avoided

“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 said ‘Those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart,’ Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  See Mark 15:18 (NKJV)

While listening to the “Christian” radio station I heard, speaking directly to believers in Jesus Christ, “If we don’t care for people we lost our way.”  I agree with the speaker on this point, although I can’t say that I agree with the speaker’s message, in its entirety.

There’s irony when a follower of the Anthanasian Creed says, referring to something to be avoided, “we lost our way,” since by trusting in the Anthanasian Creed they already have.

There’s a 100% chance that the Anthanasian Creed added onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century.

God bless.

The Relevance of Jesus' Teachings

“You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!” James 2:19 (NKJV)

In the name of He who said ‘If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also,’ Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  See John 8:19 (NKJV)

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” John 14:1-3 (NKJV)

[Believing in] accepting what Jesus accomplished in the first century, is to be saved according to the [Scriptures].  Once saved the [Bible] is no longer just another book but it’s relevant to everything you do.  It is a guide for how you should live your life if you will.

We live in a world bent on silencing [Biblical] truths and/or making deviations to them.  The Anthanasian Creed in 325-AD added onto what is in the [Bible].  Followers of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” need not let “your heart be troubled.”  There is no reason to doubt the word of God.  If there was reason to doubt anything about Jesus’ “Father’s house,” He “would have told you.”  Jesus’ teachings as laid out for us in the [Bible], are trustworthy.

Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.  And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’  This is the first commandment.  And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’  There is no other commandment greater than these.”  So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher, You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He.”  Mark 12:29-32 (NKJV)

With man everything is subject to change at a moment’s notice unlike Jesus’ teachings, man can’t see the relevance of Jesus’ teachings because they are trapped by their own devices.  These days, the “solution” to the troubles of this world is to divide and conquer.

“You shall love your neighbor as yourself” is the solution as to how we not only keep the law, but how we’re to write them.

God bless.

The Poor And The Rich Man

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 He who said, ‘And when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves,’ Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  See Matthew 23:15 (NKJV)

As soon as it was day, the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him into their council, saying, “If You are the Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will by no means believe. And if I also ask you, you will by no means answer Me or let Me go. Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.” Then they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?” So He said to them, “You righty say that I am.” And they said, “What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth.” Luke 22:66-71 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “The bible is to ultimately introduce us to Jesus.”  I agree with the speaker on this point.  The [Biblical] Jesus is the centerpiece of God’s plan of salvation.  Any attempt to introduce the Anthanasian Creeds [false] brand of salvation, which leads to one having to accept additions made to what Jesus accomplished in the first century to be saved, is an act of heresy.  Everything one needs to know about the [Biblical] Jesus, is available for all to see in the [Bible]. 

“So” Jesus “said to them, You righty say that I am.”  And they said, “What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth.”  Jesus is, “the Son of God.” 

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

The [Scriptures] themselves, point to Jesus.  Just as Jesus is the centerpiece of God’s plan of salvation, He must be the focus of our daily life as well.

“For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always.”  Mark 14:7 (NKJV)

“For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Luke 18:25 (NKJV)  

Here we “have the poor” that Jesus spoke of in Mark 14:7 and “a rich man” in Luke 18:25, converging at the cross.  It doesn’t matter how much money they possess, or desire to have for that matter, one thing holds true.  They must choose to [believe in] accept what Jesus accomplished in the first century, in order for them to be saved according to the [Scriptures].  Just as it was back then, it is for all the people of the world today.  What will your life say about you when you get there? 

I chose to use “the poor” and “a rich man” as an example but we will all have to ultimately encounter the cross at one time or another, in our life.

If your goal is to change the world for the better, stick to the gospel message as laid out for us in the [Bible].  If it’s to teach the [Biblical] Jesus according to the [Scriptures], stay clear of the Anthanasian Creed.  Nothing has caused more people to turn from [Biblical] truths to false teachings, than the Anthanasian Creed. 

God bless.

Without Jesus We Can Do Nothing

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  1 John 5:1-5 (NKJV)

In the name of He who said ‘Go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter,’ Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  See Mark 7:29 (NKJV)

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” John 15:5 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Being a Christian makes you different.”  I agree with what the speaker said.  In a world bent on silencing [Biblical] truths [true] followers of Jesus don’t need to go out of their way to [appear] as if they are followers of Jesus.  It should be obvious to others, that they are different.

One thing that separates [true] followers of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” from all others (not that there aren’t more), is that we know “for without” Jesus we “can do nothing,” at least when it comes to pleasing to God that is.

Any Believer Would Agree

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, ‘All things have been delivered to Me by My Father,’ Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. See Luke 10:22 (NKJV)

There’s something wrong here when one has to look outside the [Bible] for their salvation.  Any believer would agree.  However the Anthanasian Creed made its way into the twenty first century and that, is [precisely] what went wrong here. 

There’s something seriously wrong when the inference of a “debate” between guards of the Anthanasian Creed and Arians in 325-AD, is unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved.  There is no basis in the [Bible] for this inference on man’s part then or today.

If your plan is to [continually] lift up the Anthanasian Creed until the second coming of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” I’d find a different plan if I were you.  You can’t speak well of the Anthanasian Creeds false “method of salvation,” without corrupting what Jesus accomplished in the first century, which is available for all to see in the [Bible].

Don't Step in The Wrong Direction

“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 He who said ‘You reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition,’ Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  See Mark 7:9 (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)

If you have followed this blog for a while, you know something of the Anthanasian Creed.  Perhaps the Anthanasian Creed is new to you.  Regardless of how or what you know about the Anthanasian Creed, can you speak for yourself about the Anthanasian Creed or do you rely on what you’ve been told about it?  With this blog, I demonstrate how it clearly adds onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century.  Other than that I’ll have nothing to do with the Anthanasian Creed.

It doesn’t matter how one is introduced to the Anthanasian Creed.  The moment one chooses to believe it however, is a step in the wrong direction.  According to the Anthanasian Creed unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity, one cannot be saved.  If this is not a step in the wrong direction, I don’t know what is.  It reduces what Jesus accomplished in the first century to mere commentary.

God’s plan of salvation points us to the cross, where Jesus died for the sin of the world.  “Whoever believes in” this same Jesus “should not perish but have everlasting life.”

There Is No Hope For The Anthanasian Creed

Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord; Praise Him, O you servants of the Lord! Psalm 135:1 (NKJV)

In the name of He who said ‘Do not be afraid; only believe,’ Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. See Mark 5:36 (NKJV)

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11 (NKJV)

“He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.” John 12:48-50 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “God said My word will not return void.”  I agree with the speaker on this point.  Isaiah 55:11 is clear God’s word, “My word,” “it shall not return to Me void.”

“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

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 said, “Whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”

Based on this, who would you say is the [source] of “what” Jesus “should say and what” Jesus “should speak”?  The Anthanasian Creed [“the Son is God”], or the all-knowing God of the [Bible]?  I would say the all-knowing God of the [Bible] is the [source]. 

I know the [Biblical] Jesus did not speak on His “own authority.”  “The Father who sent” Jesus “gave” Jesus “a command, what” Jesus “should say and what” Jesus “should speak.”  When Jesus speaks of “the Father,” He’s speaking of His “God” and, “Father.” John 20:17

The Anthanasian Creeds [“the Son is God”] wouldn’t exists at all, if not for the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].  The words “the Son is God,” aren’t in the [Bible].

There is no hope for the Anthanasian Creed.  It is false doctrine, which adds onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century.  Concerning the salvation of one’s soul it is worthless.

There are certain things I sought forgiveness for but saying the Anthanasian Creed is the high priest of all false doctrines, isn’t one of them.

God bless.

Born Again and Again

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:13 (NKJV)

In the name of He who said ‘Do not be afraid; only believe,’ Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  See Mark 5:36 (NKJV)

Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3 (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)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, [specifically] for believers in Jesus Christ, “You don’t need to be born again, and again, and again.”  I totally agree with the speaker on this point. 

“Whoever believes in” Jesus “should not perish,” and will “see the kingdom of God.”  These are “born again” believers in Jesus Christ.

The Anthanasian Creeds false “method of salvation” says unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved.  This includes at any time in one’s life, especially after they’ve been “born again” according to the [Scriptures].  This is an addition to what has been clearly laid out for us in the [Bible], and should be ignored at all times.

God bless.

That is All I Will Ever Need

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

As I watched television I heard, “Satan is a liar and wants us to doubt.”  I agree with the speaker on this point. 

For believers in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” Satan wants them to doubt their salvation. 

For non-believers in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” Satan wants them to doubt who Jesus actually is.

I want nothing to do with the Anthanasian Creed other than to provide [Biblical] evidence that it never should have made its way into the twenty first century.  My hope [salvation], is [my belief in] the gospel of Jesus Christ.  The doctrine of the trinity and the Anthanasian Creed, go hand in hand.  Neither would exist at all, if not for the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].

For me to contemplate the likelihood of the [Bible] supporting the Anthanasian Creeds false “method of salvation” now, would mean I’d have to second guess everything Jesus accomplished in the first century.  Even if the one believing the Anthanasian Creed was to come up with some “new fact” they thought would prove the validity of the Anthanasian Creed, I would have a [Biblical] response to it.  Unlike that which is tied to the Anthanasian Creed, the [Bible] is 100% trustworthy all day long.

Is it the [Biblically] correct thing to do, to tell people that unless they believe the doctrine of the trinity they cannot be saved?  I’m asking believers in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” and non-believers alike here.  No, it is not the [Biblically] correct thing to do.

I would say that the follower of the Anthanasian Creed has a 0% chance of causing me to doubt my salvation, let alone Satan.  Satan is a liar but he cannot cause me to doubt my salvation.

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

I [believe] confess “Jesus is the Son of God.”  That is all I will ever need.

God bless.

For He is Not Far From Us

“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 He who when asked how many times do we forgive a brother said, ‘I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven,’ Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. See Matthew 18:21-22 (NKJV)

On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living waters.” But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.  John 7:37-39 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “The bible is perfect and God’s way is perfect.”  I agree with the speaker on this point.  Not until all peoples treat the [Bible] with the respect that it is [trustworthy] sufficient as is, will we continue to make the same mistakes over and over again.

A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews had no dealings with Samaritans. Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would of asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?” Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” John 4:7-13 (NKJV)

And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.  Acts 17:26-27 (NKJV)

The Samaritan woman and Jesus’ disciples who “had gone away into the city to buy food,” were all “made from one blood” by God “to dwell on the face of the earth.”  The same holds true for all peoples of the world, today.  The quality of the water we drink, differ from one place to the next here on earth but whoever “believes in” Jesus, “as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living waters.”  Likewise our skin color may differ, but our trust in Jesus makes us one.

Until we see everyone as “one blood,” we will allow physical appearances to take precedence over God’s perfect plan for us.  “Seek the Lord,” for “He is not far from each one of us.”

“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)

Back to Reality

“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)

Apart from that which has been clearly laid out for us in the [Bible], imagine everything that has been written about Jesus never occurred.  Believing the [Bible] is the inspired word of God, would you say that the person [believing in] Jesus according to the [Scriptures] is saved?  I believe the [Bible] is the inspired word of God, and would say the person is saved.

Back to reality where the [Biblical] Jesus has been transformed by man, over the centuries, into something the [Bible] wouldn’t recognize.

Would you now say [believe], unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved?  I wouldn’t.

God bless.

We Individually Have to Choose

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.

The Anthanasian Creeds believe it [or else] false method of salvation, challenges everything Jesus accomplished in the first century.

Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed Him. Mark 1:14-18 (NKJV)

People will say whatever they like about Jesus but I wouldn’t be so quick to believe all of what they say about Him.  The [Bible] gives us everything we need to know [believe] about Jesus so that we don’t have to rely on man’s opinion.  “Jesus said to them, Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”  The same holds true for us today.  From a [Biblical] perspective to follow Jesus today, which is to say trust Jesus’ teachings as we go, is the safest thing to do.

Be aware of the person that’s talking about Jesus but is loyal to keeping the Anthanasian Creed up and running, even when they are found quoting actual scriptures.  The follower of the Anthanasian Creed has no choice but to [eventually] say, unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved.

This believe it [or else] false method of salvation, is not [Biblical] and is an addition to what Jesus accomplished in the first century.  Even with the [Bible] being available for all to read today, the Anthanasian Creed says, concerning the salvation of one’s soul, God’s plan of salvation can’t be trusted.

Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.  And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’  This is the first commandment.  And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’  There is no other commandment greater than these.”  So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher, You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He.”  Mark 12:29-32 (NKJV)

To love God and “your neighbor as yourself,” is too continually [demonstrate] admit to both.  There’s only one way to live in a world bent on silencing [Biblical] truths, let alone these evil acts taking place around us daily.  We, individually, have to choose to follow Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” according to the [Scriptures].

God bless.

What Matters?

“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 makes us kings and priests to His God and Father, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  See Revelation 1:6 (NKJV)

If what Jesus taught matters to you, you’d hate lawlessness.

You would forgive others, not seven times, but seventy times seven. 

You wouldn’t have to worry about whose life matters, because you’d already know every life matters.

If you’ve never called on Jesus’ name to save you, it’s not too late.

God bless.

It Didn't End Well For Them

“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)

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” Matthew 7:21-23 (NKJV)

Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” John 6:28-29 (NKJV)

If the mere mentioning of Jesus’ name could save a person, then a lot of people having never done “the will of” Jesus’ “Father in heaven,” would be saved.  It wouldn’t matter where they stand, believer or nonbeliever in Jesus Christ.  There’s a good chance they have mentioning Jesus’ name at one time or another in their life. 

In Matthew 7:21-23 we have those who “prophesied,” “cast out demons” and did “many wonders” in Jesus’ name.  As you can see it didn’t end well for them, “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!” 

These are not followers of Jesus Christ, because they have yet to “believe in Him whom” God “sent,” Jesus.  “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”

It shouldn’t be difficult to speak the gospel of Jesus Christ in truth.  Avoid straying from what the [Scriptures] actually say.  If it takes more than what has been clearly laid out for us in the [Bible], for one to be saved according to the [Scriptures], you’re doing it the wrong way.

The Anthanasian Creeds way, is the wrong way.  The [Bible] is more than sufficient enough as is and leaving it well enough alone is the safest thing to do.

Could the follower of the Anthanasian Creed be saved?  “Yes,” if they [believe in] accept what Jesus accomplished in the first century, they are saved according to the [Scriptures].

God bless.

The Conversation Took A Turn For The Worse

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

Two total strangers enter a local church and near the end of the church service, responded to the speaker’s [invitation] to come forward and invite Jesus to come into their hearts.  Before the entire congregation these two individuals, confessed to being sinners and [now] believe in Jesus.  After a get together with eyewitnesses to the event and sharing the [happy] moment with them, these two individuals went their separate ways.  If you knew either of these individuals prior to them being saved, you’d say the last place one would look for them is in church. 

A few months pass and the two strangers meet again for the first time since they left that church.  After sharing how their lives have changed since, the conversation took a turn for the worse.  One of these two individuals, doesn’t see the other as being saved at all.    

The conversation picks up with the one whose salvation is in question, saying, “If we’re no different coming out of that church than when we walked into that church, the bible is worthless.”

“I’m talking about learning more about Jesus here,” the other replied.  “You’re missing it.  You need to make things right with Jesus.”

“Was I no more saved than Satan, after [we] first believed in Jesus?  I don’t think so,” the first replied.  “The speaker was right.  Our salvation is centered on the cross of Jesus Christ.  The way God intended for it to be.  Do you not remember telling everyone how it was the best decision you have ever made, believing in Jesus?”

“Our salvation was questionable at best when we left that church,” the other replied.  “I’m telling you there’s more to it, what one has to believe to be saved.”

“What I am missing here?” the first asked.  “Show me how it is that I have to believe something you have learned, after the fact mind you, to be saved.”

“The events that took place in 325-AD, that’s what’s missing,” the other replied.  “Think back to the speaker’s message that day.  Do you remember hearing anything about one having to believe the doctrine of the trinity?”

“No.  I do not remember the speaker saying anything like that,” the first replied.  “Although I have to admit I have heard others saying things like it, and that is has something to do with the Anthanasian Creed.” 

In shocking fashion, the other replied, “Something to do with the Anthanasian Creed!  We wouldn’t know who Jesus is, if not for the Anthanasian Creed.  Did we confess to believing the doctrine of the trinity that day?  No, we did not.”

“I’m not saved unless I believe the doctrine of the trinity?  I don’t think so,” the first replied. 

These two individuals answered the call to believe in Jesus.  They witnessed each other being saved, as did many others that day.  If they’re no different coming out of that church than when they walked into that church, the bible is worthless.

It doesn’t matter what one does with the Anthanasian Creed, it is worthless.

“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)

The [Bible] comes with a 100% guarantee, “Whoever believes in” Jesus “should not perish but have everlasting life.”  Jesus died so we could live forever, with Jesus.

If you’ve never called on Jesus’ name to save you, it’s not too late.

God bless.
