First Love

“We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,” Apostle Saul (who is also called Paul), Colossians 1:3 (NKJV)

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

“I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary. Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.

Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove the lampstand from its place—unless you repent.”  Revelation 2:2-5 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard a pastor talking about a survey done by two men.  The pastor [obviously] agreed with the outcome of the survey, but then had this to say about the two men.  “These two men are secular and not believers.”  The survey itself is irrelevant.  My first thought after hearing this was, is it possible these two men have left their first love and are actually believers?  The [Biblically] correct answer is, “Yes, it is possible”.  That’s the problem with followers of the Anthanasian Creed and this pastor is one of them.  They judge people according to their own understanding.

Knowing the [simplicity] of God’s plan of salvation, it’ll be safe for me to say there’s a lot of people out there believing others are not [Biblically] saved when in actuality they are. 

Those believing the Anthanasian Creed, would you use “that you have left your first love” in Revelation 2:5 to refer to those of us having once believed the Anthanasian Creeds [false] method of salvation, repented and turned away from it to God’s method.  You’d have to admit, those teaching false doctrines should consider what “first love” means to them. 

God bless.

The Imaginary Line

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,” Apostle Saul (who is also called Paul), 2 Corinthians 1:3 (NKJV)

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

Let’s get this out of the way from the get go.  The [Biblical] Yeshua never claimed to be God, nor do His teachings support the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God”.

As I listened to the local “Christian” radio station I heard the names of nine or ten people linked to the Anthanasian Creed.  None of which are found in the inspired word of God which would make [perfect] sense, because neither is the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God”.

The fact of the matter is the Anthanasian Creeds [false] method of salvation wasn’t made known to the public until 325-AD, thus making it [Biblically] impossible to find anyone following it [in] the inspired word of God, let alone responsible for it surfacing when it did. 

If followers of that creed could get a handle on that [Biblical] fact, they’d realize their entire system of belief puts the inspired word of God at the mercy of a man-made doctrine.  In this case, the one that surfaced in 325 AD, is the high priest of all false doctrines, the Anthanasian Creed.

This individual on the radio made a huge mistake when attempting to link the Anthanasian Creeds “God and Man” to the one dying on a cross for the sin of the world who happens to be the Son of God.  He stated that “No one can understand Jesus being both [God and Man] on the cross, but the church does set boundaries as to how far one can go with it.”  How is it that the church feels they can set boundaries on something they can’t even explain?  The speaker is not helping his cause.

While listening to the same local “Christian” radio station I heard another person say, this just a few hours after hearing the “God and Man” thing.  “If you want people to know God, you have to preach God, through the word.”  My first thought after hearing it was that the speaker was absolutely correct, but because I know he’s a follower of the Anthanasian Creed, he has mistaken his own understanding for the inspired word God.  

Followers of the Anthanasian Creed should take time to listen to others believing the same as them to determine whether or not they have the same boundary or is the line vague?  Saying things like the “church” has set boundaries to something they themselves can’t understand, leaves the exact line obscure at best.  If there is a set line, who determined where it would be set when it can’t really be explained.

When it comes to God’s plan of salvation the line is crystal clear in the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua.  We can understand it because it is written.  Saying “no one can understand” to anything linked to the Anthanasian Creeds [false] method of salvation isn’t hard to believe.  Its followers are [forced] to say such things.  As a firm believer [in] Messiah Yeshua it is my obligation to tell you that God’s intention is for you to understand Him and not be concerned with imaginary lines drawn by men. 

God bless.

Red Letters

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,” Apostle Saul (who is also called Paul), 2 Corinthians 1:3 (NKJV)

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

If you were asked is there anything we can trust these days, what would that be?  I’d say one thing and one thing alone, the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua “Jesus”.  The way I see it, if it doesn’t agree with Yeshua’s teachings, it’s not trustworthy.

How about if you were asked how a person would know whether or not it [is] a teaching of the [Biblical] Yeshua.  What would you say to that?  Even the Atheist, one believing no God, would say cross check it with what’s found in the bible.  Does that make every “book” having the word “bible” in its title, the inspired word of God?  Common sense tells us it doesn’t.  Would you say the commentary in a specific version of the [Bible], is the inspired word of God?  Obviously it’s not.  That’s why knowing the source of one’s belief is essential, to answering the question correctly.  To be [Biblically] correct that is.  For example.

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a load voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” Matthew 27:46 (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)

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)

It’ll be easy to figure out who the red letter words in Matthew 27:46 John 14:6 and 20:17 belong to, the [Biblical] Yeshua.  Within these three verses of [Scripture] “Jesus cried out” and “Jesus said” are found, thus making it easy to link them to the [Biblical] Yeshua “Jesus”.

“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)

How about Revelation 3:12.  Do you see anything like “Jesus cried out” or “Jesus said,” linking the red letter words to a specific person, in it?  In the New King James Version of the [Bible] which is the one I use, nothing like this is found.  What we do find in Revelation 3:12, “I will make, I will write, My God” and “My new name,” doesn’t settle a thing.  A person looking at Revelation 3:12 for the very first time, wouldn’t have a clue as to who’s saying these things.  How then would that person know [who] “I” and “My” are speaking of?        

I did a little research of my own and found the idea of having “red letter” words in the [Bible], surfaced in 1899.  They were “meant” to help us.  I can safely say what’s [actually] written in the inspired word of God, not color, and is all that matters here.  I’ll leave it at that for now.  Let’s continue on.  Remember, we’re looking to find what’s trustworthy.

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a load voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” Matthew 27:46 (NKJV)

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)

“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)

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)

Do you believe Jesus [is] the Son of God?  I certainly do.  If [you] do, it’ll be easy to [see] “the Father” in John 14:6, “My God” in Matthew 27:46,  John 20:17 and Revelation 3:12, are one and the same.  Jesus’ God and, Father. 

If you can’t trust the [Biblical] fact of Matthew 27:46, John 20:17 and Revelation 3:12 agreeing, how are you going to trust the things Jesus said about “the Father” in John 14:6?  The teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua [are] trustworthy my friends.

Here’s something for those believing the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” to think about.

“And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, ‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass:’” Revelation 2:18 (NKJV)

“And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: Revelation 3:14 (NKJV)

Knowing that Jesus called the all-knowing God of the [Bible] “My God” His God as He walked on earth (John 20:17).  On the cross (Matthew 27:46).  After He ascended into heaven (Revelation 3:12).  Who “These things says” would [you] say is speaking in Revelation 2:18 and 3:14?  Would you say “the Son of God” in Revelation 2:18 and “The Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God,” in Revelation 3:14, are one and the same?  I would.

If “the Son of God” and “The Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God” are one and the same, and they are, the [Biblical] Yeshua, would you say the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” agrees with the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua?  I wouldn’t.  In the inspired word of God there aren’t any “faithful and true” witnesses to the Anthanasian Creed, found.  The Anthanasian Creed surfaced in 325-AD.  Acknowledging that creed as having absolutely nothing to do with the teachings of Messiah Yeshua, is the [Biblically] correct thing to do.  As you can see, the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua don’t support the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God”.

These six verses of [Scripture], Matthew 27:46, and John 14:6, 20:17, Revelation 2:18, 3:12 and 14, are found in the inspired word of God.  Identifying the [source] of one’s system of belief, makes it easier for them to [see] whether it’s trustworthy or not.  It would be foolish for a person to say the inspired word of God is hearsay.  That in itself would be hearsay at best.

God bless.

What's To Gain From Defending A False Doctrine?

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,” 2 Corinthians 1:3 (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, “As God He was immortal and could not die, as Man He could.”  My first thought after hearing it was, how many times I have heard followers of that creed say God died on a cross.  This pastor is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed. 

Obviously, because the all-knowing God of the [Bible] isn’t, wasn’t, nor could be dead, it had to be the Son of God who happens to be Messiah Yeshua, dying on a cross for the sin of the world some two thousand years ago.  This pastor is convinced of it being the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God”. 

Whatever that creed makes “the Son is God” out to be, contradicts the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua.  According to the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua, the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” doesn’t exist.

The pastor is left with no choice but to defend a false doctrine, for as long as he chooses to believe it.

Ask any follower of the Anthanasian Creed if it’s “God” dying on a cross some two thousand years ago.  If they tell you anything else but “Yes…it was God,” they’ll be contradicting their very own teachings concerning the matter.  There’s a very good chance you’ll hear “Yes… it was God but” from them.  Get ready if you do.  They’re looking to justify a [false] method of salvation. 

Whatever they have to say can only be traced back to 325-AD.  This is when the Anthanasian Creed was adopted and became the doctrine of the Catholic Church.  Prior to the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” surfacing, believing that the Son of God and the [Biblical] Yeshua are one and the same was the only thing one needed to do.

In order to keep the Anthanasian Creeds [false] method of salvation up and running, its followers are [forced] to say “God” died on a cross for the sin of the world some two thousand years ago.  The all-knowing God of the [Bible] cannot die.  This is [Biblically] correct.  The Son of God dying on a cross for the sin of the world some two thousand years ago, again, [Biblically] correct. 

If it’s [Biblically] sound to begin with my friends, it’ll agree throughout.  Being one with God so to speak. 

The all-knowing God of the [Bible] isn’t, wasn’t, nor can be, a man, nor dead.

“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)

Those believing the all-knowing God of the [Bible] died on a cross some two thousand years ago, have [you] given any thought to what it is you’re [actually] saying when [you] say God died?  Unless you’re saying this to a “captive” audience of one, yourself, others are hearing it as well.  I would think about that if I were you, before ever thinking about saying it again.

Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.  1 Corinthians 15:28 (NKJV)

In God’s plan of salvation “then the Son Himself” [Messiah Yeshua] “will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him,” [subject to God], “that God may be all in all”.

Unlike the Anthanasian Creed which surfaced in 325-AD, what you’ve just read in 1 Corinthians 15:28 was written by someone from the first century, the Apostle Paul.  Any questions as to which of these, the Anthanasian Creed or Paul’s writings, was inspired by God.  It can’t be both!  I’m sticking with Paul.

“The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.” Apostle Saul (who is also called Paul), 2 Corinthians 11:31 (NKJV)

At this point in Paul’s life, he has turned from persecuting [true] followers of the [Biblical] Yeshua, as a result of his encounter with Yeshua on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:1-22, NKJV).  I see no reason for him to steer people away from the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua.  When Paul wrote to those living in Corinth then, he obviously knew [exactly] who God is.  “The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ”.  He even took it one step further in what we know of today as 2 Corinthians 11:31, confirming his relationship to God, saying, “our” his God “knows that I am not lying.”

I’m sticking with Paul.

God bless.

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

Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say Teacher). John 20:16 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard a pastor saying these two things, “Mary didn’t know it was Jesus until after He said [Mary]” and “The bible tells us Mary wrapped her arms around Jesus’ leg and would not let Him go.”

It’s highly likely that Mary ran towards Jesus, this after realizing the one calling her by name is Jesus.  The fact of the matter is we don’t know.  That detail isn’t given to us in John’s writings.  The only place where [this] specific encounter is recorded.  With the pastor saying “The bible tells us Mary wrapped her arms around Jesus’ leg,” there must be [Biblical] evidence of it being so.  One would think.

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.’” Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her. John 20:17-18 (NKJV)

I did a little investigative work of my own.  For Mary to have actually wrapped her arms around Jesus’ leg, [just] prior to Him saying “Do not cling to Me,” or [immediately] after for that matter, is highly unlikely.  After looking at a number of different versions of the bible concerning the matter, there’s no [Biblical] evidence of Mary doing such a thing.

This pastor is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  Followers of that creed talk about several things as if they are [Biblical] when there is no evidence of them being found in the [Bible].  That’s [exactly] what they’re forced to do in order to keep the Anthanasian Creeds [false] method of salvation up and running, even at the expense of the inspired word of God.  Make no mistake about it, when it comes to false doctrines the Anthanasian Creed is the high priest of them all.

This pastor then went on to say “Jesus’ [brethren] and [Mary] Magdalene… because she is now Jesus’ sister have the same Father.  Jesus saying [My Father and your Father] makes it so.” 

After hearing the pastor quoting John 20:17 (in its entirety), my first thought was “How are you going to explain the text that comes next is something I’m very much looking forward to hearing my friend”. 

Saying Jesus, Jesus’ brethren and Mary Magdalene have the same Father, is the [Biblically] correct thing to do. 

The pastor said Jesus’ brethren and Mary Magdalene have the same Father because Jesus said “My Father and your Father.”  Knowing exactly what Jesus said, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father and to My God and your God,” I knew the pastor had a second chance to make things right, not only for himself but the listening audience as well.

Having already heard the pastor’s explanation of “My Father and your Father,” I’m looking forward to his explanation of “and to My God and your God,” as well.  It never came.  The pastor skipped right over it, as if Jesus never said “and to My God and your God”.  I was disappointed to say the least, but at the same time okay with it.  Maybe the pastor was pressed for time, who knows?  God knows.

This pastor believes the one saying “I am ascending to My Father and your Father and to My God and your God” is the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” which by the way surfaced in 325-AD.  The [only] thing a follower of that creed can do to make things [Biblically] correct, is to reject the Anthanasian Creed altogether. 

This would give followers of that creed every reason to believe Jesus, Jesus’ “brethren” and “Mary” Magdalene, according to John 20:17, have the same God and Father.  Thus causing them never to teach again the Anthanasian Creed as having anything to do with the teachings of Messiah Yeshua who happens to be the Son of God.

God bless.

Father Forgive Them

For I received from the Lord that which I also deliver to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.  Apostle Saul (who is also called Paul) 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (NKJV)

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

As I remember my Lord and Savior Messiah Yeshua on this day, specifically the events that took place nearly two thousand years ago, Yeshua’s death burial and resurrection, the events taking place in the world these days rise to the surface.  I am praying for those rejecting the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua who are choosing to lean on their own understanding instead.

If you’re paying attention to what’s going on in the world these days, you’re well aware of Christians being persecuted for standing up for their beliefs, let alone the Jewish Community for the Promises the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob (Israel) made, to them.  Those choosing to reject the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua, reject the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob (Israel).

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a load voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” Matthew 27:46 (NKJV)

While nailed to the cross, Messiah Yeshua accomplished many things.  He fulfilled a number of prophecies concerning the coming Messiah, while others wait yet to be fulfilled, Yeshua’s second coming for one.  He clearly established the Anthanasian Creed as a false doctrine, at the precise moment He said “My God, My God,” why have You forsaken Me”.  The Anthanasian Creeds attempt to link it’s very own “the Son is God” to the one saying “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me” who happens to be the Son of God, is ridiculous.  Think how absurd it would be my friends, if what Jesus said that day wasn’t true.

Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” Luke 23:34 (NKJV)

God bless.

The Only Way To Go

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,” Apostle Saul (who is also called Paul), 2 Corinthians 1:3 (NKJV)

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

Many events took place in 325-AD, most of which I’m unaware of.  What I do know from that era, concerning the earthly institutions called “church,” an alternative plan of salvation was adopted and accepted by the Catholic Church.  It’s found in a man-made doctrine, known to us today as the Anthanasian Creed. 

This alternative plan surfacing in 325-AD, and saying unless a person “faithfully” believes the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” they “cannot be saved”.  God’s plan of salvation which happens to lead us directly to the kingdom of God however, was given to us well before 325-AD.

Unlike God’s plan of salvation, the Anthanasian Creeds requires outside influences to keep it up and running.  Since 325-AD of course.  Prior to this the Son of God was, the Son of God wholly based on the [Scriptures] given to us by God.  With no actual [Biblical] support, the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” totally depends upon man’s understanding of [Scripture].  Listening to those teaching the Anthanasian Creeds [false] method of salvation will only prove one thing beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua have been lost in the maze of their own misinterpretations.

Does anyone [really] believe the [only] way a person can be saved is found in something adopted, accepted doctrine by the Catholic Church, in 325-AD?  Make no mistake about it, followers of that creed are [forced] to teach this [false] method of salvation as the [only] way for a person to be saved.

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard a pastor quote some “statistic,” he said “every household in America has five bibles in it.”  He went on to say, “We’re not going to be able to stand before God and say we didn’t know.” 

Speaking of every house having “five bibles,” while listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard another person say “This word is misinterpreted and shouldn’t be taught that way.”  He mentioned a [specific] translation of the bible and how in this case, what it was saying is [totally] wrong.

Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?” They answered Him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am He.” And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them. Now when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

Then He asked them again, “Who are you seeking?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He.  Therefore, if you seek me, let these go their way,” that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, “Of these whom You gave Me I have lost none.” John 18:4-9 (NKJV)

On that same radio station, not forty five minutes after hearing about the wrong translation of the bible, I heard a different person saying “Jesus claimed to be God.”  This individual followed that up with, “I am He emphasis on I am,” referencing John 18:4-9.

This individual was referring to the time when Jesus asked “Whom are you seeking,” in John 18:4-9.  This individual is saying Jesus claimed to be “God” when He said “I am”.  Keep in mind Jesus said “I am He” after being asked if [He] was, “Jesus of Nazareth”.

Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.’” Exodus 3:13-15 (NKJV) 

This individual on the radio, saying, “I am He… emphasis on I am,” is attempting to link ‘I AM has sent me to you” in Exodus 3:13-15 to “I am He” in John 18:4-9.

This individual has fallen for the oldest trick known to mankind, since Adam and Eve’s fall in the Garden of Eden.  Not trusting that the all-knowing God of the [Bible], desires what’s best for them.  It’s called leaning on one’s own understanding.   

Does anyone have a “translation” of the bible having Jesus being asked whether or not He’s God in John 18:4-9?  I did a little investigative work of my own.  I looked at a number of “translations” and found Jesus being asked if [He] was “Jesus of Nazareth,” in each and every one of them.

Jesus answering “I am He” as to whether or not [He’s] “Jesus of Nazareth,” on two separate occasions, is overwhelmingly convincing.  Messiah Yeshua goes on to say “I have told you that I am He” the second time.  Repeating this should make it perfectly clear to us what Messiah Yeshua wants us to take away from this verse.

Jesus spoke these words, lifting up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come, Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him.  And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:2-3 (NKJV)

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 John 17:2-3, 18:4-9 and 20:17, Jesus clearly establishes the one “given Him authority over all flesh” is “You, the only true God,” God.  “Of these whom You gave Me I have lost none,” the one that gave Yeshua “these” is “You, the only true God,” God.  Yeshua’s “My God” God and, “My Father” Father, God. 

Therefore the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob must be Jesus’ God and Father, too.  You’d have to admit, the [Biblical] evidence of this being so is overwhelmingly convincing.

These three people on the radio, are all followers of the Anthanasian Creed.  They are the ones leaning on their own understanding.

The phrase the pastor declared, “We’re not going to be able to stand before God and say we didn’t know,” has absolutely nothing to do with the number of [Bibles] one owns.  He’s assuming owning a [Bible] qualifies the owner to interpret it correctly, especially when it comes to the salvation of one’s soul. 

If you had to guess the number of bibles found, in the homes of those living in 325-AD, how many would you say that is?  I say the common person then, was at the mercy of the “religious leaders” of that time who happen to be those interpreting the [Scripture] and were [directly] linked to the Anthanasian Creed.  They are falling for the oldest trick known to mankind.  

The person realizing they’re a sinner, wanting to turn from their sinful ways, is heading in the right direction.  My friends, there’s only one way to God’s grace and truth, the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua.

“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)

God’s plan of salvation is to “whoever believes in Him” believe Messiah Yeshua who happens to be the Son of God.  If it’s not leading us to, or agreeing with, the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua, then it’s taking us in the wrong direction.  This is exactly what the Anthanasian Creed is doing.  It is leading people in the wrong direction.  If you’ve accepted Yeshua as Lord and Savior of your life, according to the [Scriptures], why would you give the Anthanasian Creed a second thought?  It has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul.  A distraction is all it is.

The kingdom of God [is] the prize and, the teachings of the [Biblical] aren’t steering anyone away from it.  Becoming a follower of the [Biblical] Yeshua which is to be saved according [to] the [Scriptures], is the only way to go.

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

John, in what is known to us today as 1 John 4:15, confesses Messiah Yeshua is the Son of God.  In John 3:16, it’s that same John writing “whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

The Anthanasian Creeds [false] method of salvation continues to be just that, a false one.  Obviously, confessing Messiah Yeshua is the Son of God, as John did, [is] the only way to go.  To the kingdom of God that is.

God bless.

What Would You Say?

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

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard a pastor talk about Jesus’ second coming and said, “There’s coming a time when Jesus is going to be everything we say He is.”  He is making the assumption that “everything we say He is,” is [Biblically] correct.  This pastor saying this is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

“There’s coming a time when Jesus is going to be everything we say He is.”

If you’re a follower of the Anthanasian Creed, and saying, “There’s coming a time when Jesus is going to be everything we say He is,” you’ll have a lot of [serious] explaining to do.  I would give the inspired word of God enduring forever, a second thought before saying such a thing.  [We] do know it to be the truth.

Saying the [Biblical] Yeshua “Jesus” is coming again isn’t a problem.  He is coming again.  Likewise, there’s no problem with not knowing when that time is.  [We] don’t know.  These are [Biblical] facts.  When a follower of the Anthanasian Creed says “Jesus is going to be everything we say He is” at Jesus’ second coming, now that’s a problem.

Here’s a question for those believing the Anthanasian Creed, concerning the second coming of Messiah Yeshua, knowing beforehand these words, “the Son is God,” are not found in the inspired word of God. “The Son is God” is [directly] linked to the Anthanasian Creed, thus making its [first] appearance in 325-AD.  By saying “There’s coming a time when Jesus is going to be everything we say He is,” aren’t you [forced] to say “the Son is God” is what’s coming again?  Of course you are.

Saying a person “cannot be saved” unless they “faithfully” believe “the Son is God” which is exactly what that creed [forces] its followers to teach, is to say the Anthanasian Creeds method of salvation is the [only] way for a person to be saved.  Since 325-AD that is.  Obviously, because the inspired word of God is crystal clear concerning the matter, the Son of God who happens to be Messiah Yeshua, is coming again.  This same Messiah Yeshua, died on a cross for the sin of the world in the first century.

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)

“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)

Those believing the Anthanasian Creed, as you can see, Messiah Yeshua and the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” cannot be one and the same.  John 20:17 and Revelation 3:12, specifically Messiah Yeshua’s use of the words “My Father” and “My God” in them, makes it [Biblically] impossible for it to be so. 

Even you’d have to agree to this so called “evidence” supporting the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God, only proves one thing.  Man’s idea of who the [Biblical] Yeshua is, who they say “He is,” which is hearsay at best, is all you’ll have to offer.  Your message is [totally] dependent on the Anthanasian Creed.  Because the inspired word of God endures forever, the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua are what one should be looking to, instead.

It all comes down to this my friends.  What would you say is moving a person towards the truth concerning the salvation of one’s soul?  The teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua as is or, man’s understanding and interpretations of them?

God bless.

Don't Lose Sight of Passover

“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 a person say, “Have we lost the meaning of Easter?”  He’s a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

No, you haven’t [lost] the meaning of Easter.  That “event,” meaning “Easter,” continues to grow, and from one year to the next.  Passover, however, during [Biblical] times leads us directly to Yeshua’s death burial and resurrection.  Have you tried looking into this?  That’s where you’ll find all that is needed to understand [why] the [Biblical] Yeshua died on a cross for the sin of the world.  If your search takes you beyond the last entry of the New Testament which takes place near the end of the first century, you have taken it too far.  This was my first thought after hearing, “Have we lost the meaning of Easter?”

Why Yeshua went to the cross to die for the sin of world, is what people need to understand.  The [Biblical] Yeshua is the key to God’s plan of redemption and salvation.  The [only] thing that matters.  When it comes [to] God’s plan of salvation, the [Biblical] Yeshua, not man’s understanding of who He is, [is] the only one we’re to look to.

Jesus spoke these words, lifting up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come, Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him.  And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:2-3 (NKJV)

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a load voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” Matthew 27:46 (NKJV)

False teachings have one guarantee attached to them, besides them being false, they’re destined for a head on collision with the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua.  For example:

Those believing the Anthanasian Creed actually believe, because that creed forces them to do so, “God” died on a cross for the sin of the world.  What these fail to see is “You, the only true God,” God “You have given Him authority” gave Yeshua this authority.  The same God the [Biblical] Yeshua called “My God” His God (while nailed to the cross) in Matthew 27:46.

Muslims say because they [do] believe Yeshua is a prophet, it wasn’t the [Biblical] Yeshua dying on that cross.  Someone else took, Yeshua’s place.  What they fail to see is what they’re actually confessing to, Yeshua being a prophet, someone dying on a cross, agrees with God’s plan of salvation.  Therefore the [switcheroo] had to take place after Yeshua’s death, burial, and resurrection.

The mere mentioning of Yeshua’s name doesn’t guarantee a one way ticket to the kingdom of God, for the one that’s using it.  Why a person chooses to use Yeshua’s name, this is what matters.  I can safely say the inspired word of God will have, the [final] say.  You can see Matthew 7:21-23 tells us it’s so.

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” Matthew 7:21-23 (NKJV)

As a firm believer [in] Messiah Yeshua I know the day to remember what the [Biblical] Yeshua has done for me is, each day.  Focusing on specific events that took place during [Biblical] times, in this case Passover, I need look no further than the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua to get the understanding of it.

God bless.

Who's Causing Who To Stumble?

“The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.” 2 Corinthians 11:31 (NKJV)

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

It is good neither to eat meat or drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak. Romans 14:21 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard a pastor say “Romans fourteen is where you’ll find not causing anyone to stumble.”  I’m sure he was referring to Romans 14:21.  He went on to explain that it was Paul, “teaching us not to cause people to stumble.”

“That you may with one mind and with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 15:6 (NKJV)

This pastor is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  I wonder if he’s aware of what soon follows Romans 14:21, in Romans 15:6.  “The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” which clearly establishes Paul’s God and Father and Yeshua’s God and Father are one and, the same.  This in itself creates a [huge] problem for the Anthanasian Creeds, “the Son is God”. 

Why anyone would attempt to take Romans 15:6 and make it say anything else but Paul’s and Yeshua’s God and Father are one and the same, is beyond comprehension. 

It never ceases to amaze me how followers of the Anthanasian Creed don’t recognize that creed as the [source] of their system of belief.  A false one at that.  Every time they attempt to link actual verses of [Scripture] to its [false] method of salvation, they’re only making it easier to prove it a false one.

Unlike the Anthanasian Creed that was adopted as accepted doctrine of the Catholic Church in 325-AD, the inspired word of God endures forever.

Here’s something to think about, don’t confuse the [Biblical] Body of Christ with an earthly institution called “church”.  There’s absolutely no [Biblical] evidence of these being one and, the same.

Those believing the Anthanasian Creed, when did the earthly institution called “church” [surface] begin, specifically the Catholic Church [directly] linked to the so called “Christian doctrine of the Trinity”?  It’s no secret, the Anthanasian Creeds so called “Trinity” did not surface until 325-AD.  This was well after Yeshua’s death burial and resurrection that occurred in the first century.

According to the Anthanasian Creed, this so called “Christian doctrine of the [Trinity]” is directly linked to a “universal church.”  This implies the “Catholic Church” as it is known to us today, holds the key to who can or can’t be [Biblically] saved.  If this is true, who had the authority to make it so?

Revelation 2:1 (NKJV): “The church of Ephesus” [2:8]: “The church in Smyrna” [2:12] “The church in Pergamos” [2:18]: “The church in Thyatira” [3:1] “The church in Sardis” [3:7] “The church in Philadelphia” [3:14] “The church of the Laodiceans”

Between Revelation 2:1 and 3:14, the inspired word of God identifies seven [different] churches, and their [specific] locations.  There’s plenty of [Biblical] evidence, showing followers of the [Biblical] Yeshua visiting these churches.  Apostle Paul being one of them who just so happens to be, according to this pastor, the one teaching us not to cause people to stumble.

If these seven churches [are] the “Catholic Church” thus surfacing in the first century, why then was the Anthanasian Creed necessary in 325-AD?  Paul didn’t give these seven churches any reason to believe, “the Son is God”.  So [did] the “Catholic Church” begin in the first century?  Why do followers of that creed believe the “universal church” is the “Catholic Church” when what it believes and teaches as the only way to be saved surfaced in 325-AD?   

The writer of Revelation, Apostle John, being led by the Spirit of God to do so, is a [true] follower of the [Biblical] Yeshua as well.  I’m confident with saying John isn’t looking to cause anyone to stumble, either.  John wrote what is known to us today as the book of Revelation, near the end of the first century.

Here’s a question for those believing the Anthanasian Creed.  Are you prepared to say the seven churches mentioned in Revelation 2:1 through 3:14 are, the “Catholic Church”?  You should be careful not to cause anyone to stumble.  This should be the one priority as [you] consider your answer. 

God bless.
