From One Believer To Another

From One Believer to Another

If this is your first time visiting this blog, “Welcome!”

As you read, I pray you’ll not see me as being angry at anyone. Firm at times with some, I’ll agree with that. I know that no matter what a person has gone through, things they’ve said or done, or still doing for that matter, there’s a 50/50 chance of my having sought forgiveness for doing the exact same thing at one time or another. I know the battle is not against flesh and blood my friend.

Throughout this blog you will find me quoting things heard on the radio. You’ll not find the names of those who said these things in the posts. I do document their names, the date, time, and radio station call sign on my copy of the original document. I do not publish these details because our mission should be to expose the false teachings not to personally attack the person.

If you should continue reading my friend, you will find the Anthanasian Creed being exposed for what it is, a false doctrine. The word of God having the final say. My trusting in He who knows hears and sees all things, the God of the [Bible].

For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure. The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. John 3:34-36 (NKJV) If you’re really interested in what one has to believe in order to be saved according to the Scriptures, adhere to what has been clearly laid out for us in the Bible. False teachers are connoisseurs at adding things onto what the Bible actually says. It’s simple. If you can’t find in the Bible, anyone having to believe it to be saved, “the Son is God” for example, don’t think we have to believe it to be saved today. “He who believes in the Son,” Jesus, “has everlasting life” that is saved according to the Scriptures.

The Bible will always be questioned, because what Jesus accomplished in the first century isn’t believed by all. The doctrine of the trinity for example declares, unless one believes “the Son is God” one “cannot be saved.” According to John 20:17 which tells the story God’s way, 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.’” Jesus spoke the truth when He called the God of the Bible “My God,” His God. How does the doctrine of the trinity compare to telling the story God’s way? It does not measure up, because it questions the simplest of Biblical truths, Jesus is the Son of God. Why anyone would attach themselves to the doctrine of the trinity in the first place, especially those believing that Jesus is the Son of God, is unimaginable.

Abortion is not a method of family planning. Abortion is not health care. It all comes down to treating the unborn child the way you want to be treated, a Biblical view.

The doctrines of men are one detail away from being eradicated, believing the Bible is trustworthy as is.

If you’re doubting what others say about Jesus, or reject the Bible altogether for that matter, I pray God opens your eyes to who Jesus is. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:5 (NKJV)

Those that don’t trust the Bible as is, have a different idea of who Jesus is. 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) The point of John 20:17 is quite obvious, don’t you agree? Jesus ascending to not only His God and Father, but to Jesus’ brethren’s God and Father too.

My prayer today is, “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) If your first thought after reading this was only a fool would believe such a thing, or if you for some reason reject Jesus altogether, don’t abandon the possibility of it being meant just for you.

We’ll never be sinless on this side of heaven but the sin that keeps us out of heaven, is exonerated when we choose to believe in Jesus.

How is it that the doctrines of men are taught as factual, when the Bible is definitive? The all-knowing God of the Bible doesn’t need man’s help, for the understanding of the Scriptures. The Bible is trustworthy as is, and should be left well enough alone. Followers of Jesus aren’t perfect, but we are forgiven. For us preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ on one side of the street and a different message on the other, is not an option. We must stay true to the Bible. To allow anything but the gospel of Jesus Christ to teach us, is to live according to the ways of this world which won’t lead to the truth, only to rejection of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s great to know you believe and confess Jesus is the Son of God but on the other hand sad, because not everyone believes what Jesus accomplished in the first century. Let’s begin this New Year, keeping the Bible first before all things and keeping the doctrines of men as far away, as possible.

This book was born from a situation where a child was anxious about going to summer camp in the midst of a pandemic. The author, among others, was asked if he wanted to write and send an encouraging letter to this child at camp. It was out of this situation, that What You See At The Park came to life. Anyone can be anxious when facing the unknown but it is the author’s prayer that thru this book you will see something new when facing these moments. This is a book with a message that children of all ages need today. All of my books are available at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and Authorhouse.com.

Jesus is the Son of Man

In the [great] number of conversations I’ve had with followers of the Anthanasian Creed, the words “If you do not believe I am He” in John 8:24 are often said, by them. They’ll tell you that unless [you] believe “I am He” is referring to God, “you will die in your sins”. Their goal is to convince others that Messiah Yeshua is claiming to be that “God” in John 8:24.

As you’ll soon see, the [Biblical] Yeshua settled the matter not long after He said “if you do not believe I am He, you will die in your sins” (John 8:24), in John 8:28.

Then Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.” John 8:28 (NKJV)

Why Didn't Jesus Correct Thomas?

It Happens in an Instant

It doesn’t take twenty four hours, thirty days, or years of classroom training to be saved. It happens in an instant. After reading Luke 23:39-43, how long did it take for you to see that one of the two “criminals” was saved? I believe someone got saved today, in the time it took for you to read Luke 23:39-43. They may not have ever heard of the Anthanasian Creed, the doctrine of the “Trinity” or that some believe Jesus is God, but they are saved.
