True Follower Of Christ Jesus

I'm going to write about something I’ve been hearing on the local “Christian” radio station, a number of times, over a three year period. I’m not going to tell you what it is that I’m hearing, because it would be easy to identify who this particular pastor [speaker on the radio] is by doing so. Let’s jump ahead to a question I e-mailed to this particular pastor, along with John 20:17 (NKJV). John 20:17: 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.’” Here’s my question: After reading John 20:17 would you say Jesus’ God and Father and your God and Father are one and the same? I did receive a [rapid] response from a member of the organization, but not the speaker on the radio. They uplifted the doctrine of the trinity. I thanked this individual for the response. I also mentioned that there was no answer to my question to be found in their reply. I received a second response from this same individual, saying, “I’m not sure what you are looking for,” along with more material lifting up the doctrine of the trinity. My reply was simply, “I’m looking for a [Yes] or [No] answer to my question. I would like to continue the conversation.” A lot of time has passed since, and I have yet to hear back from this individual. For the [true] follower of Christ Jesus, “Yes,” is the only way to answer the question. Simply that, John 20:17 is trustworthy as is. Somewhat more recently, I heard a different pastor on the local “Christian” radio station, say, “The only way we can find out what Jesus said, is in the Bible.” I totally agree with this particular [pastor] on this point. I also believe what Jesus said “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” As one who loves Jesus, I would say, the Anthanasian Creeds false method of salvation is just not trustworthy nor worth basing my salvation on.
