Not What I Think

When it comes to people discussing the Bible, I’m not awe-struck by the many different meanings a single word can have in the Greek language, or any other language for that matter. I’m interested in where one stands with Jesus today, just shy of two thousand years after Jesus’ death burial and resurrection. As much as incorrect teachings defend “the Son is God,” because the word of God doesn’t endorse the Anthanasian Creeds [lone] way to salvation, salvation and believing in Jesus according to the Scriptures go hand-in-hand. I can tell others about how I came to believe Jesus is the Son of God, and not stray one iota from what has been clearly laid out for us in the Bible. Not what I think it says, or someone else’s interpretation of it, but what is written. 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). In any language John 20:17, would have Jesus’ God and Father and my God and Father being one and the same. Jesus said, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” It would be no different today, when you believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:5 (NKJV)
