I Highly Recommend Not Using The Word Of God To Create Falsehoods

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, taken straight from John 20:17, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” The speaker then went on to say, "That’s why Jesus can say Father.” What the speaker failed to mention was that Jesus also said, in John 20:17, “And to My God and your God.” This is a common theme with followers of the Anthanasian Creed, quoting Scripture but failing to acknowledge that Jesus calls God His God, “My God,” in them (Matthew 27:46 and Revelation 3:12 as well). Jesus calling the all-knowing God of the Bible “My God” His God in these three verses (7 times total) isn’t a cultural tradition, it’s a Biblical fact. This time of the year, Micah’s prophecy (Micah 5:1-5) of Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem gets a lot of attention. We do not know the actual [calendar] day of Jesus’ birth. What we do know is that in Micah 5:4 (NKJV), Jesus “shall stand and feed His flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord His God.” Key words are, “the Lord His God.” After two thousand plus years, since Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem, one would think Micah’s prophecy of Jesus feeding “His flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord His God,” would get an equal amount of attention. Not so. Somehow the words “His God” in Micah 5:4, referring to Jesus’ God, seem out of place. We don’t have to look far, as to why. The Anthanasian Creeds believe it [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved false method of salvation, has taken precedence. The Bible is not the friend of false things, including the Anthanasian Creeds, unless one believes “the Son is God” one cannot be saved. This addition to God’s plan of salvation, is simply false.

No Title

When it comes to false doctrines, except for those teaching them, the Bible is not the problem.

Read John 20:17 For Yourself

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station, I heard, “Some of the craziest people you will ever meet are those not treating the Bible sufficient as is.” Jesus said something in the first century that I haven’t forgotten. Not that I was actually there when He said it, because I wasn’t. Let’s just say, the Bible speaks for itself. What He said was this: 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 best way to put the Anthanasian Creeds [false] method of salvation to rest, was to read John 20:17 for myself. Carefully reading John 20:17, the one believing Jesus is the Son of God would know Jesus ascended to His God and Father. In my mind, some of the craziest teachings known to man have come from those supporting the Anthanasian Creed.

Many Reject The God Of The Bible

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, from one believing “the Son is God,” “Many people reject the God of the Bible the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” You will find these exact same words “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,” in 2 Corinthians 1:3, 2 Corinthians 11:31, Ephesians 1:3, Colossians 1:3, and 1 Peter 1:3 (NKJV). “The Son is God” comes from the Anthanasian Creed, and not the Bible. The question becomes, who is rejecting the God of the Bible?
