If Not For Jesus

Can we be certain of the longevity of Jesus’s teachings? Yes, and one single verse of Scripture can easily prove it to be so. In Matthew 24:35 (NKJV) Jesus said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” We need to take the biblical account of who Jesus is seriously. Biblically speaking there’s no good reason to explore worldly views. When you know what the Bible teaches about Jesus, you’ll know He’s leading us in the right direction. I trust the Bible wholeheartedly, but I can’t attach my name to anything recorded in it. I give thanks to God for all of it. I don’t want to imagine where I’d be today, if not for Jesus. God bless.

The Jesus Of The Bible

Everything Jesus accomplished in the first century as laid out for us in the Bible would be for not, if He’s found contradicting Himself elsewhere in it. The mere thought of Jesus contradicting Himself in the Bible terrifies me. For Him to say something truthful about His God and Father (John 20:17), only then to say something false about Him, that’s not the Jesus of the Bible. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Leaders Of Church Councils?

Do we dare consider the Anthanasian Creed’s “the Son is God,” without first setting the record straight on where it actually stands with the Bible? Do we just accept it because leaders of church councils, seeing themselves as having the final authority of all things concerning the matter and in AD 325, approve of it? God forbid. When giving the Bible the final say, “the Son is God” is meaningless. The Bible is trustworthy as is, and it speaks often of Jesus’s ascension to His God and Father. Who’s to say that folks, in this case leaders of church councils, have the authority to alter Scripture? I know some folks believe that the “Holy Spirit” guided them in AD 325, but please, don’t make it appear as though the Holy Spirit would contradict the Scriptures. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Pursue Christ-Likeness

When I think Biblically or to be more specific, pursue Christ-likeness, I give no thought to the Anthanasian Creed’s “the Son is God.” Those lifting it up don’t know the truth concerning the matter. Jesus ascended to His God and Father. In John 20:17 (NKJV) Jesus said, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” Christianity is not a religion, but a relationship. In the totality of what the Bible says, there’s no relationship to “the Son is God.” Church history is penned by men and they decide what goes in it. “The Son is God” only came to exist with the Anthanasian Creed, not because there is Biblical support for it. Pursuing Jesus as laid out for us in the Bible not only keeps us on the right track, it shows us when we’re moving away from it. My future is uncertain, but my hope is in Christ Jesus. I need His help. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Building A Nest In A Tree

Knowing about Jesus, isn’t the same as believing in Him according to the Scriptures. Just knowing about Jesus, is like building a nest in a tree that’s going to be cut down. Nothing is more important to one’s salvation, than to trust the biblical account of who Jesus is. Spending eternity with Jesus, or without Him, depends on it. Believing false doctrines makes it easier for one to miss the mark. For those saved according to the Scriptures, there is no condemnation. God bless. In His Care… Jim

No Title

If every person on the planet rejected the Anthanasian Creed’s “the Son is God,” they’d still have to believe in Christ Jesus according to the Scriptures in order to be saved. It’s the only way.
