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 I do not publish these details because our mission should be to expose the false teachings not to personally attack the person.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].

Don't Be Fooled By The Gambit Of Teachings

The Anthanasian Creeds unless one believes “the Son is God” one “cannot be saved,” falsehood, mocks Jesus’ experiences. Not that other falsehoods about Jesus go undetected, slip through the cracks if you will, because the Bible will likewise show them to be false as well. This particular recognizable [well documented] falsehood found in the Anthanasian Creed however, eradicates what Jesus accomplished in the first century. Don’t be fooled by the gambit of teachings, lifting up the Anthanasian Creeds [believe it or else] “the Son is God.” This recognizable [set up] addition to God’s plan of salvation, won’t take precedence over what one must believe in order to be saved according to the Scriptures. All you need is to believe in the Son of God, Jesus, as laid out for us in the Scriptures. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Get Past It

What’s keeping someone from believing in Jesus? Whatever that something may be, they need to get past it. Believing in Christ Jesus is key to one’s purpose here on earth, let alone their eternal destiny. The sceptic can say, nonsense, the Bible is out-of-date, but they’d be wrong. To live time without end with Jesus, or to be eternally separated from Jesus is unavoidable, because the Bible is clear concerning the matter. This message is for those believing Jesus is the Son of God, which would include people from all walks of life, and yes, the minister. Don’t let my saying that Jesus’ God and Father and my God and Father are one and the same, be troublesome to you. It’s unavoidable. It is the Biblically correct thing to do for those of us that are saved according to the Scriptures that is. God bless. In His Care… Jim

The Answer To My Question

I sent the following question to someone I heard on the local Christian radio station. There was more to the E-mail I sent but their reply to the question found in it, is the issue here. 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) After reading John 20:17, would you say Jesus’ God and Father and your God and Father are one and the same? Here is their reply. Mr. Masterson: I am not sure what your question means, but I affirm that God is one God, existing eternally in three co-equal and co-eternal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Best, (I intentionally removed the individual’s name to protect their identity.) Here is my reply: Thanks for the rapid response. I really do appreciate it. I believe Jesus is the Son of God. Believing that Jesus is the Son of God, as it would be for the one doing the same just prior to them taking their last breathe here on earth, means you are saved according to the Scriptures. If you're finding it problematic to say "Yes" to Jesus' God and Father and your God and Father being one and the same, know what's at stake here. Jesus said "I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God." I’ve sent this question to many. If I gave you the names of those that I have sent it to over a period of five years, you’d recognize the majority of them. To date I’ve only received one [direct] answer to it “Yes, and no,” which really isn’t an answer at all. Here’s my question: Would you say the person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, saved according to the [Scriptures], and rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is saved? When I say “rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether” I mean, treat the Anthanasian Creed as if it never existed at all. As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I would say the person is saved. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 1 John 4:15 (NKJV) Once again, thanks for the rapid response. I'm looking forward to hearing back from you again. God bless. In His Care… Jim

It Doesn't Matter

It doesn’t matter how many people believe [unless one believes “the Son is God” one “cannot be saved”], they’d still be wrong.

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.
