In Truth

Preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in truth, is essential. “Jesus said…I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God” in John 20:17 (NKJV). Preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in truth, is to say, the all-knowing God of the Bible is Jesus’ God and Father. I’m at ease with telling others it’s so, because I love reading what “Jesus said” in the Bible. Forgetting the events concerning the dispute over the validity of Anthanasian Creed in 325-AD, because I judge the Anthanasian Creed by itself, I find, in truth, it never should have made its way into the twenty first century. There is no dispute over whether or not Jesus is calling the all-knowing God of the Bible “My God,” His God, in John 20:17. He is. “Jesus said…I am ascending to My Father, and to My God.” The Anthanasian Creed, is unessential.

The Sureness Of Biblical Truths

If you’re interested in what the Bible has to say, be eager to accept it as trustworthy exactly as it is. As you gain the sureness of Biblical truths, the doctrines of men will weaken.

Jesus Is The Son Of God

Believing Jesus is the Son of God, I know my salvation is secured in Christ Jesus. I’m certainly not going to steer others into having to believe something different concerning their own salvation. Ant attempt to steer me towards having faith in the Anthanasian Creed however, is an absolute waste of time. Having to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved, is an addition to what has been [clearly] laid out for us in the Bible, and should never be the main thing. Don’t mistake me for one speaking against followers of the Anthanasian Creed here, because nothing could be further from the truth. I could never feel bitter towards them, or anyone else [guilty] of tampering with the Bible. The Anthanasian Creed, is the problem here. I understand forgiveness, which points to everything Jesus accomplished in the first century. Do you have any reason to believe that someone who believes Jesus is the Son of God, isn’t saved according to the Scriptures? I don’t.

Not Everything

Recently I heard “Jesus has always known everything.” The Bible says differently “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Mark 13:32 (NKJV) Consider the person, just prior to them taking their last breathe here on earth, calling on Jesus’ name to [salvation] save them. Would you say this individual’s salvation is in jeopardy, for not knowing whether or not Jesus “has always known everything”? As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I would say this individual is saved. For the record in Mark 13:32 “nor the Son,” is where Jesus admits to not knowing “that day and hour.” In other words, not everything.

Roots

Recently I heard “the trinity is rooted in the New Testament.” If you lead someone to believe the doctrine of the trinity, it’s rooted in the Anthanasian Creed. The Anthanasian Creeds having to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved, the doctrine of the trinity in a nutshell, doesn’t align with Jesus’ teachings. 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) Nothing has caused more people to turn from this [on its own] absolute truth, that Jesus’ God and Father and His brethren’s God and Father are one and the same, than the Anthanasian Creed.

Its Worth Repeating

Don’t be preoccupied with the events that occurred in 325-AD, regarding the doctrine of the trinity. You won’t find anyone mentioned in the Bible, giving an eyewitness account of any of these events. The Bible has the final say when it comes to what one [must] believe in order to be saved according to the Scriptures. “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 is the Son of God and its worth repeating “whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” The Anthanasian Creed is the high priest of all false doctrines, and it doesn’t matter what time period [origin] its followers claim it was written.

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 14:3 (NKJV) I understand more about Jesus preparing a place for me, which I can’t see, than what I can see in the flesh. Everything I need to know about my salvation, is available for all to see in the Bible. The Anthanasian Creed, with its add-ons to what Jesus accomplished in the first century, shouldn’t have made its way into the twenty first century.

Think Again

“He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.” Revelation 3:12 (NKJV) If you think the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” and the Biblical Jesus are one and the same, think again. You’re not seeing that it’s Jesus calling the all-knowing God of the Bible, four times in Revelation 3:12, “My God,” His God.

Don't Be Mistaken

If you think that having to believe “the Son is God” is the measure of one’s salvation, which is [exactly] what the Anthanasian Creed states, you’d be greatly mistaken. The fact of the matter is, you’d be making a horrible mistake believing such a thing, because there’s no place in the Bible where it says “the Son is God,” let alone having to believe it to be saved. In a world bent on silencing Biblical truths, here’s two of them you can count on. Whoever believes that Jesus is the Son of God will be saved, and Satan is defeated.
