“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.
In His Care…
