The ways of the world don’t include drawing near to Jesus. What I’ve come to know about the God of the Bible is that my life matters. There’s no doubt or denying, in the end, God wins.

Do You Not See...

The Anthanasian Creed’s “the Son is God” becomes meaningless when you correctly handle the biblical account of who Jesus is. In John 20:17 (NKJV) Jesus said, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” After reading John 20:17, do you not see how safe it is that Jesus ascended to His God and Father? You’ll know it’s safe when it’s all about the Biblical Jesus, when telling others about Him, when it’s just as it has been laid out for us in the Scriptures. The mere mentioning of Jesus’s name, becomes a conversation starter. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are three but as soon as Jesus calls another “My Father” His Father and “My God” His God, the doctrine of the trinity crumbles. God bless. In His Care… Jim

If It's Not Rooted In Scripture Alone...

I highly recommend having conversations about Jesus. However, if one’s contributions to them aren’t built on a firm foundation, Scripture alone, there’s nothing sure about them. The goal should be that everything said about Jesus, be rooted in Scripture alone. Church history certainly offers plenty to add to any conversation about Jesus. If the conversation is driven by church history, it’s heading in the wrong direction. Jesus is the centerpiece of God’s plan of salvation. I have no intention of bringing up church history, except for speaking against “the Son is God.” If someone else brought it up, I might just have something to say about it depending on who’s in the conversation. One thing is for sure; I’m not going to be swayed by anything not based on Scripture. If I was, it would be an act of disobedience towards God, Jesus’s God and Father (John 20:17). Folks are free to say, think, and even believe, whatever they like about Jesus. If it’s not rooted in Scripture alone, however, it will not last. God bless. In His Care… Jim

In Regards To Those False Teachings...

The problem with those believing “the Son is God,” is that they think they are right. Never forget, when it comes to teaching who Jesus is, the Bible will always have the final say. In regards to those false teachings that lift up “the Son is God,” if you are saved according to the Scriptures don’t even give them a second thought. Amen. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Know What's At Stake Here

I heard on the radio “that you always interpret Scripture with Scripture.” You’ll always be better off, when relying on Scriptures alone. “The Son is God” may work for some, but it’s a prime example of not relying on Scripture alone. “The Son is God” only came to exist with the Anthanasian Creed, not because there is Biblical support for it. In John 20:17 (NKJV) Jesus said, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” After reading John 20:17, where in the Scriptures would one go to find support for “the Son is God?” If you’re finding it problematic to say there is no support to be found in the Bible, know that what Jesus said in John 20:17 is at stake here. In John 20:17 Jesus said “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” Jesus ascended to His God and Father, and it’s biblically impossible to prove different. God bless.

If it absolutely throws-out the existence of “the Son is God,” a message rooted in Scripture alone, then “the Son is God” should only be left to one’s own imagination.
