“That the God
of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of
wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,” Ephesians 1:17 (NKJV)
In
the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.
While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard a pastor say, “God came down and was born in Bethlehem… and grew to be a man.”
“But
you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the
thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me the
One to be Ruler in Israel, whose
goings forth are from of old,
from everlasting.” (3)Therefore He shall give them up, until the time that
she who is in labor has given birth; then the remnant
of His brethren shall return to the children of Israel.
(4) And
He shall stand and feed His flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord His God;
and they shall abide, for now He shall
be great to the ends of the earth; (5) and this One shall be peace. Micah 5:2-5 (NKJV)
I wonder if this pastor is aware of “the
One to be Ruler in Israel” who just so happens to be the [Biblical] Yeshua, “He
shall stand and feed His flock
in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord His God”. After reading Micah 5:4, paying close attention to everything leading up to the
words “His God,” would you
agree with this pastor saying “God came down and was born in Bethlehem”? I wouldn’t.
The words “His flock” and “His God” in Micah 5:4 are
crystal clear, convincing.
This pastor is a follower of the Anthanasian
Creed, which just so happens to force its followers to say things like “God
came down and was born in Bethlehem… and grew to be a man.” He believes and teaches, unless a person “faithfully” believes the
Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is
God” they “cannot be saved”. I know whatever this pastor has to say,
pertaining to the salvation of one’s soul, has a 0% chance of agreeing with
Micah 5:2-5. For as long he continues to
believe the Anthanasian Creed that is.
“This
is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!”
Matthew 17:5b-d (NKJV)
In Matthew 17:5b-d, would you say “My”
and “I” refer to the all-knowing God
of the [Bible]? If you said “Yes… the
all-knowing God of the [Bible],” you’d be 100% correct. How about “Son”
and “Him,” would you say the [Biblical]
Yeshua “Jesus”? You’d be 100% correct, but
only if you said “Yes… the [Biblical] Yeshua”.
The person knowing who’s who in Matthew
17:5b-d, should not be heard teaching the Anthanasian Creed. It’s God saying “Hear
Him!” Not “Him” meaning,
God. “Him” meaning God’s Son, the
[Biblical] Yeshua. I don’t know about
you, but I see the all-knowing God of the [Bible] and the Son of God knowing, exactly who they
are.
Saying the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” and the [Biblical] Yeshua are one and the same, forces
those believing the Anthanasian Creed to create a new “path”. One that’ll only be found outside the
inspired word of God. Where it’ll be
possible for the all-knowing God of the [Bible] and the [Biblical] Yeshua to conform
to the Anthanasian Creeds, “the Son is
God”. So when followers of that creed
read Matthew 17:5b-d, they’ll see “My”, “Son”, “I” and
“He,” as one and the same. We know the one telling people then, and us
today, to “Hear Him,” the [Biblical] Yeshua,
[is] the all-knowing God of the [Bible].
This is why followers of the
Anthanasian Creed should stay as far away from Matthew 17:5b-d as they
can. The only way they can explain it,
is to fall back on the Anthanasian Creed.
Having to explain how the [Biblical] Yeshua “became” the
Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is
God,” creates a serious problem for the follower of that creed. There’s no [Biblical] evidence [prophecy] of
Messiah Yeshua having to conform to the doctrines of men, sometime between Him
being born in Bethlehem and His second coming.
Therefore whatever followers of that creed have to offer, in support of
the Anthanasian Creed, is hearsay at best.
Followers of the Anthanasian Creed, where [exactly] do you
find the words “the Son is
God”? The Anthanasian Creed or, the
inspired word of God? Even you have to
admit to there being [no] actual [Biblical] evidence of “the Son is God”. Those in the position of “authority,” within
the walls of the earthly institutions called “church,” admit to having to
attend a “place” of higher learning, to “find” [it].
God’s plan of salvation is plain,
simple, and easy to find. The teachings
of the [Biblical] Yeshua, are the [only] place one needs to look for it. The inspired word of God enduring forever
makes Yeshua’s teachings concerning the salvation of one’s soul, trustworthy. The Spirit of God has everything to do with
it, which is explained very nicely, in the teachings of the [Bible] Yeshua.
Knowing that the battle is not against flesh and blood, nor
earthly institutions called “church,” it’ll be easy to identify what’s causing
this pastor to say, “God came down and was born in Bethlehem… and grew to be a
man”. The Anthanasian Creed.
“For I
am God, and not man, the Holy one in your midst; and I will not come
with terror.” Hosea 11:9a (NKJV
The person saying “God came down and was born in Bethlehem… and grew to be a man,” has some
serious explaining to do. It has a 0%
chance of agreeing with Hosea 11:9a, let alone Micah 5:2-5. This pastor is convinced that the Anthanasian
Creeds “the Son is God” is [also],
and at the exact same time, “God and Man”.
This in itself forces him to say, “God came down and was born in
Bethlehem… and grew to be a man”. This “God and Man” thing is a byproduct of
the Anthanasian Creed and can only be traced back to 325-AD.
People, the same God saying “For
I am God, and not man” in Hosea
11:9a, the all-knowing God of the [Bible], gave us clear instructions
concerning His Son, “Hear Him (Matthew
17:5d)”.
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)
The one the all-knowing God of the [Bible] is asking us to “Hear Him” listen to, the [Biblical] Yeshua, called
that same God “My God,” His God (John
20:17). The [Biblical] Yeshua fulfilled
Micah’s prophecy, when the Virgin Mary gave birth to “the One
to be Ruler in Israel,” in the little town of Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). The teachings of “the One to
be Ruler in Israel,” the [Biblical] Yeshua, is where
one should be looking to, concerning the salvation of their soul. This [is] God’s plan of salvation, to believe
in the one He sent, the [Biblical] Yeshua.
As a firm believer [in] Messiah Yeshua, I
know a person can’t do anything pleasing to God, without the [Biblical] Yeshua
leading the way in his or her life.
“Nor is
there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given
among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 (NKJV)
If you look at Acts 4:8, you’ll see it was
Peter, he being “filled with the Holy Spirit,” writing what’s found in Acts 4:12. This
same Peter wrote, being led by the Spirit of God to do so:
“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,” in 1
Peter 1:3 (NKJV).
Everything the all-knowing God of the [Bible] wanted us to
know about Peter, which would include him receiving the teachings of the
[Biblical] Yeshua first hand, an eyewitness account if you will, took place in
the first century. The Anthanasian Creed
was adopted, accepted doctrine of the Catholic Church, in 325-AD.
One thing [is] for sure, the Anthanasian
Creed won’t find any support in Peter’s writings. Would you say Peter’s “Blessed be [the] God
and Father [of] our Lord Jesus Christ,” supports the Anthanasian Creeds “the
Son is God”? I wouldn’t.
Knowing Peter was led by the Spirit of God to write what is
known to us today as 1 Peter 1:3, I wouldn’t
be counting on Peter contradicting himself elsewhere in his writings,
concerning the matter.
Saying a person “cannot
be saved” unless they “faithfully”
believe the Anthanasian Creeds method of salvation, a false one at that, proves
one thing, that those teaching it as a “truth,” are left with no choice but to “altar”
manipulate [Biblical] truths. For these
people, the all-knowing God of the [Bible] saying “For
I am God, and not man,” the [Biblical] Yeshua calling that same God “My God” His God, and Peter’s greeting “Blessed be the
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,” [cannot] mean what they say.
Followers of that creed will say “God came down and was born
in Bethlehem… and grew to be a man,” while claiming Micah 5:2-5, Matthew
17:5b-d, Hosea 11:9a, John 20:17, Acts 4:8, 12 and 1 Peter 1:3, trustworthy
and, inspired. It’s unbelievable.
By the grace of God and having been set free from the
doctrines of men, I can safely say, the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua,
alone, are sufficient. The inspired word
of God is what is on trial here. Whether
or not a person chooses to accept [it] for what [it] is, absolute truth, is what
it’ll all come down to.
If the Anthanasian Creed [is] the only way to be saved which
is exactly what [it] is saying, the individual(s) responsible for writing [it]
would be [mentioned] found in the inspired word of God. We are talking about the salvation of one’s
soul here, aren’t we? I certainly am. I see the inspired word of God as the [only]
place to look to, for those [directly] linked to God’s plan of salvation.
This is exactly what followers of that creed need to
[seriously] consider. This [only] way of
salvation the Anthanasian Creed offers, is [it] leading people towards the
kingdom of God, or [away]
from the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua that show us the [only] way to His God and,
Father?
Those believing the Anthanasian Creed, can the person
[totally] rejecting that creed become [Biblically] saved? Yes, it is [Biblically] possible, while
continuing to reject the Anthanasian Creed.
As a firm believer [in] Messiah Yeshua, it is my obligation to inform
you that the Anthanasian Creed has absolutely [no] say, when it comes to the
salvation of one’s soul.
God bless.
In His Care… Jim
