“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.
Have you
found the words “the Son is
God” in the inspired word of God? Would
you agree that they were [first] made known to the public in 325-AD when the
Anthanasian Creed surfaced and became the doctrine of the Catholic Church? I know those teaching it as sound
doctrine see it differently, working in harmony with the inspired word of God, but
the Anthanasian Creed is a false doctrine.
Each and every time a follower of that creed mentions a
single verse of [Scripture], in their attempt to justify that creeds [false]
method of salvation, they’ll contradict another one elsewhere. For example, quoting a verse of [Scripture]
from Paul’s writings. The follower of
that creed can say it supports the Anthanasian Creed, but is it [really] enough
to make it so? As you’ll soon see, it
isn’t.
“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)
“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)
After reading
Ephesians 1:3 and 1:17 above, do you see how it’s [Biblically] impossible for
the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is
God” to agree with anything found in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians? Do you think Paul would write to those in
Ephesus one thing, only to contradict it elsewhere in his travels? I wouldn’t give it a second thought if I were
you.
As you can see, to say that Paul’s writings support the
Anthanasian Creed in any way shape or form, is contradicted by what Paul [actually]
wrote in these two verses. Any attempt
to [make] Paul’s writings support the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God,” is an absolute waste of
time.
If you have spent any time on this blog, you know that I
reject the Anthanasian Creed. I do not
need to take into consideration man’s interpretation of the scriptures, the inspired
word of God is all I need. Here’s an
example.
While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I
heard two men talking about the Scopes
“Monkey Trial” when [creation] and [evolution] met head on in March of 1925. Their conversation focused on the person speaking
on behalf of creation, specifically how unprepared he was. The two speakers on the radio were looking to
show “Christians” how the outcome of that “trial” back then, shouldn’t keep them
from speaking publicly about what they believe to be a truth, today.
I saw something on television just a few days ago, that has
to be a sign of things to come, for the mere mentioning of Jesus’ name that is. I’m not going to go into great detail here
on what I saw but will give you the high points. The fact that it was likely viewed by millions
of people throughout the world, is of great significance to me.
The individual confessing to be a
“pastor” is being considered for a new job.
The other person represents the “company” that’s looking to fill that
position, a job interview if you will. Obviously,
because “political correctness” seems to be the “theme” of the day for some, it
was news worthy.
The credibility of the “pastor” came
down to him answering questions concerning his beliefs. The “pastor” was asked, “Do you believe [Christianity]
is the only religion and what about [Muslims and Jews], are they condemned for
not believing it?”
I’m not judging anyone here, but I am prepared to handle
situations such as this. If someone is
looking to question my beliefs, I’m going to identify that the inspired word of
God is on trial here, not myself. I see
the inspired word of God as the foundation of what I have chosen to believe. The person that doesn’t see the
inspired word of God as sufficient enough, has left themselves in the position
of leaning on their own understanding of it.
That person is left with one choice, to follow false doctrines.
I wasn’t there when the Anthanasian Creed surfaced in 325-AD,
well after the last entry of the New Testament was written. I didn’t take part in those discussions
concerning the Anthanasian Creed, which ended with it being an accepted
doctrine of the Catholic Church. I can
read about them, but I’d be a fool to accept it as anything else but hearsay at
best.
The Anthanasian Creeds method of salvation, saying, unless a
person “faithfully” believes
“the Son is God” they “cannot be saved,” isn’t found in
the inspired word of God. It depends entirely
on the writings of those found outside the inspired word of God to remain up
and running. The person believing that
[false] method of salvation, has no choice but to misinterpret “it is written” the
inspired word of God. They will have no
choice but to face the one question that’ll prove the Anthanasian Creed to be a
false doctrine.
“Do you believe the person
rejecting the Anthanasian Creed cannot be [Biblically] saved?”
If I’m faced with having to face questions concerning my
beliefs, the inspired word of God and not me will be the one on trial. I know I’m not responsible for what a person
chooses to, or not to do, with [Biblical] truths. Accepting whatever may come my way for preaching
the gospel of Jesus Christ, is exactly what I have been called to do. Simply put I’ll preach the word, and leave
the rest in the hands of the all-knowing God of the [Bible].
God bless.
In His Care… Jim
