It Happens in an Instant

Grace, mercy, and truth will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 2 John 3 (NKJV)

In the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Many religions claim the path to eternal life.”  Don’t be fooled by those claiming to know “the path to eternal life.”  The [Bible] is crystal clear concerning the matter.  “The path” that leads to the kingdom of God begins with, believing in Jesus Christ. 

The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  One can claim the Anthanasian Creed but they won’t find it on “the path” leading to the kingdom of God.  The [Biblical] Jesus being mentioned in the same conversation with the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God,” began in 325-AD.  The one’s who put their trust in those not mentioned in the [Bible] carried the Anthanasian Creed into the twenty first century.  Proving this won’t be a problem.

Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.” But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?  And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.” Luke 23:39-43 (NKJV)

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.

“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)

We’re not to believe those claiming to know “the path that leads to eternal life.”  The [Bible] is the authority, and sticking to it is the safest thing one could do.  The kingdom of God is the prize.  “Whoever believes in” Jesus, will be saved. 

God bless.

Truly Desire to Follow Jesus

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  1 John 5:5 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who was given authority over all flesh, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. John 17:2 (NKJV)

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6 (NKJV)

God forbid if I encourage others to trust the Anthanasian Creed while saying that I trust Jesus and believe John 14:6.

Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.”  Luke 9:23 (NKJV)

Let me emphasize, when Jesus “said to them all” that includes us today because the inspired word of God, the [Bible], endures forever.  Those who actually heard Jesus say then “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me,” and us who read it today, must “deny” ourselves, “and take up” our “cross daily,” “and follow” Jesus.  That is if we desire to “come after” Jesus.

As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I pray God that you see the Anthanasian Creed rejects those who truly desire to “follow” Jesus.  The inspired word of God, the [Bible], endures forever.

God bless.

Trust The Words Jesus Himself Said

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” 1 Peter 1:3 (NKJV)

In the only name given among men by which we must be saved, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Acts 4:12 (NKJV)

Wherever the Anthanasian Creed is treated as sound doctrine, expect the [Bible] to be mistreated.  Simply stated, in order for the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” to exist, one would have to either twist Jesus’ teachings from their intended meaning, or ignore them altogether. 

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “What does it mean to be a Christian?  Until you allow Jesus to take His place you’re not a Christian.”  The speaker on the radio was well aware of Jesus’ true place, saying, “At the right hand of God the Father,” yet the speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

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 order to accept the [Biblical] fact that Jesus “ascended” “to My Father” “and to My God,” His God and Father, one would have to trust the words Jesus himself said.  He ascended to His God and Father, not to himself.  If you don’t trust He who “ascended” to His God and Father, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” it doesn’t matter what you think about Him.

But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” Acts 7:55-56 (NKJV)

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is sitting at the right of God. Colossians 3:1 (NKJV)

If you believe Jesus is “sitting,” or “standing at the right hand of God,” then why wouldn’t you see that Jesus is “sitting,” or “standing” next to God which clearly makes them separate?

“Whosoever will be saved, before all things, it is necessary that he hold the catholic (i. e. , universal, (Christian) faith. Which faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.”  - First two sentences of the Anthanasian Creed.

“So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God. And yet they are not three Gods, but one God.”  - Anthanasian Creed.

“This is the catholic (Christian) faith; which except you believe faithfully and firmly, you cannot be saved.”  - Last sentence of the Anthanasian Creed.

Please don’t connect the Anthanasian Creed to true followers of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” Christians.  Followers of that creed will tell you one must believe the Anthanasian Creed, and thus the doctrine of the “Trinity,” to be saved.   Actually, if you slim it down to its ultimate meaning, it says unless one believes “before all things” “the Son is God,” one “cannot be saved.”  True followers of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” look to the cross, not what those in 325-AD created for themselves.  The Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul.

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?  As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I say the person is saved.

“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)

Stick to the [Bible], because in there you will find “Whoever believes in” Jesus according to the [Scriptures], will be saved.

God bless.

The Work of The Ministry

“We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.” Colossians 1:3 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who makes us kings and priests to His God and Father, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Revelation 1:6 (NKJV)

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelist, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.  Ephesians 4:11-12 (NKJV)

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words, history of the church?  For me it was what Jesus accomplished on the cross.  I was listening to the local “Christian” radio station when I heard the history of the church explained using only names not mentioned in the [Bible].  It was the history of the speakers “church” not God’s church, “the body of Christ.”

Eyewitnesses to the events leading up to and following Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, are recorded in the [Bible] for all to see.  After I read Ephesians 4:11-12 those using [Scripture] alone “for the work of ministry,” are those in “the body of Christ.”

“The work of ministry” is synonymous with [true] followers of Jesus, “the body of Christ.”  “The work of ministry” is an extension of what has been clearly laid out for us, in the [Scriptures].  In them we’ll find Jesus’ true love for “the body of Christ”.  Those outside “the body of Christ” deserve the same from those of us who call on Jesus’ name.  That is our “work of ministry.”

God bless.

Christ is God's

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  1 John 5:5 (NKJV)

In the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

Any attempt to link the story of the Anthanasian Creed to the [Bible] will fail, for it cannot sustain itself on [Scripture] alone.

That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  Romans 10:9 (NKJV)

In a world bent on silencing [Biblical] truths, the message of the [Bible] remains the same.   “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

“Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God. But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.” Luke 12:8-9 (NKJV)

“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)

Let me emphasize, Jesus said “Whoever confesses Me before men,” He “will also confess before the angels of God.”  “My God,” His God.

And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s. 1 Corinthians 3:23 (NKJV)

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.  1 John 4:15 (NKJV)

If you are committed to the Anthanasian Creed, and thus the doctrine of the “Trinity,” you are blind to the fact that the Anthanasian Creed will ultimately fail.  Everything inside the will of God points to believing, “Jesus is the Son of God.”  “My God,” Jesus’ God, knows “He who overcomes” are those that will be saved according to the [Scriptures].  They “are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.”  Why anyone would attempt to usurp “Christ is God’s” with the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God,” is unimaginable. 

As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I say believing the Anthanasian Creed is the greatest mistake one could make.  It is equal to denying Jesus “before men.”

My prayer is that you see that the Anthanasian Creed is outside the will of God.

God bless.

To Be With Jesus

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. Hebrews 4:14 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who was given all authority in heaven and on earth, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. Matthew 28:18 (NKJV)

There’s only one happy ending to this life, to be with Jesus. 

We can’t regulate evil.  We don’t know the thoughts of men, or women.  Anyone can condemn evil acts, after the fact.  Until one learns to love others as Jesus loved them, they will continue to be enticed by evil and will allow it to creep slowly into their lives.

God bless.

Blinded by Its Darkness

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.” Ephesians 1:3 (NKJV)

In the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “The world is getting much darker.  We need to let them know what we are for and what we are against.”  The speaker on the radio was speaking to, “Christians.”  The speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

I agree, the world is bent on silencing [Biblical] truths, my words not the speaker’s.  I have a problem with a follower of the Anthanasian Creed, saying, “We need to let them know what we are for and what we are against.”  Knowing the battle is not against those that have chosen to believe the Anthanasian Creed, I say the Anthanasian Creed is the problem here.

“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) 

To follow the Anthanasian Creed, and thus the doctrine of the “Trinity,” you must be against those that reject the Anthanasian Creed but “believes in” Jesus.  Those believing the Anthanasian Creed are blinded by its darkness and should think twice about telling others what they need to know.  People who reject the Anthanasian Creed just might know that it wouldn’t exist, if not for the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].      

God bless.
