The Cross is Worthy

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. Hebrews 4:14 (NKJV)

In the only name given among men by which we must be saved, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Acts 4:12 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Athanasius stood his ground and was willing to die for what he believed.”  This same Athanasius has his name attached to the Anthanasian Creed, and the speaker on the radio is a follower of that creed.  There have always been people who died for, or are willing to die for what they believe.  This doesn’t make what they have chosen to believe worthy or trustworthy, which is to say according to the [Scriptures].

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?” He answered and said; “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?” And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.” John 9:35-37 (NKJV)

Getting saved is easy.  Jesus is “the Son of God.”  “You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.” (John 9:35-37).  You simply have to believe in Jesus. 

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

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  1 John 5:5 (NKJV)

“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)

“Whoever believes in” Jesus, “whoever confesses” and “believes that Jesus is the Son of God,” is saved according to the [Scriptures].  Then should look to the cross where Jesus died for the sin of the world, because nothing can ever take its place.  Any attempt to link the Anthanasian Creed to the cross, will fail. 

When I meet someone who confesses and believes Jesus is the Son of God, I know their assured salvation has absolutely nothing to do with the Anthanasian Creed.  If they try to “sell” me the Anthanasian Creed, they’ll leave knowing why I’m not buying it.  The rest will be between them and the all-knowing God of the [Bible].

Just like the Anthanasian Creed, true followers of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” can’t save anyone.  We can lead them to Jesus but they have to choose for themselves what to believe. 

It is my obligation to tell you that nothing has caused more people to turn from [Biblical] truths to false teachings, than the Anthanasian Creed.

I’m so looking forward to what the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel), sets before me the rest of this day and all of 2019.  I pray that you’re looking forward to the same, and from the same God.  May the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob keep you safe, and living in is His will.  Happy New Year!     

God bless.

Don't be Deceived

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:13 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who was given authority over all flesh, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. John 17:2 (NKJV)

“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, He is there!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.” Mark 13:21-23 (NKJV)

Mark 13:21-23 is plain, simple, and easy to understand.  Don’t be deceived.  “I have told you all things beforehand.”  Everything one needs to know about Jesus is in the [Bible].  “False christs and false prophets,” false teachings thrive, when the people stop trusting the [Bible]. 

When Jesus comes again, and He will, you don’t want to be found not believing in Him.  Settle the matter prior to taking your last breathe here on the earth.

God bless.

First Remove The Plank

“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 only name given among men by which we must be saved, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Acts 4:12 (NKJV)

Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32 (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)

These things “Jesus said” are in the [Bible] and if you [really] want to understand them, believe in Jesus.  It’s not the understanding of “the truth” that makes us free, it is accepting Jesus “the truth.”  Jesus is, “the truth.”  “No one comes to the Father except through Me,” Jesus “the truth.” 

The moment one chooses to “accept” Jesus, which is to say trust these things “Jesus said,” they’re saved.  “The truth,” Jesus, “shall make” them “free.”  Free from what, you may ask?  The worries of this world. 

There’s a long list of false doctrines/teachings to choose from in a world bent on silencing [Biblical] truths.  For me the Anthanasian Creed is the target, because of its false method of “salvation.” 

Others are doing a good job at exposing some false doctrines/teachings.  I don’t want to build upon the good of their ministry or take away from the good they are doing.  However, these same people are teaching unless one believes the Anthanasian Creed one cannot be saved.  That my friends is a problem and needs to be dealt with first.

“Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Matthew 7:4-5 (NKJV)

Followers of the Anthanasian Creed, first remove “the plank” from your own eye then you will see clearly.  Proving the Anthanasian Creed wrong won’t be a problem.

The reality is, nothing has caused more people to turn from [Biblical] truths to false teachings than the Anthanasian Creed.

God bless.

Proving it to be Wrong

Grace, mercy, and truth will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 2 John 3 (NKJV)

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

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Hundreds of thousands of scholars have tried to prove this book wrong.”  The speaker on the radio was speaking of the bible, and is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

Would you say the person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, and rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is saved?

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

After reading the question and 1 John 4:15, would you say that the [Bible] proves the Anthanasian Creed to be wrong?  If you’re saying the person is saved that’s exactly what you are saying.  If you’re saying the person is not saved, what are you saying about the [Bible] and its fundamental truths? 

God bless.

We Need to Get Back to The Truth

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:13 (NKJV)

In the only name given among men by which we must be saved, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Acts 4:12 (NKJV)

He must increase, but I must decrease.  John 3:30 (NKJV)

Tis the season to take a closer look as to how we’re to treat “Christmas,” in the coming years.  As you know while driving in my car, I listen to the local “Christian” radio station.  When I left to get coffee this morning, I knew there was more than a 50/50 chance that I would hear about how “Christmas” has lost its true meaning.  Sure enough, the moment I started the car, that’s exactly what two individuals were discussing on the radio.  My first thought was, John the Dunker “Baptist” settled the matter.  “He” Jesus “must increase” and “I” followers of Jesus, “must decrease.”

It is my obligation to tell you the more one conforms to the ways of the world, that which is against God, “I” increases and Jesus decreases.  Camp fire stories become reality and absolute truths, questionable at best.  We need to get back to the truth.  Telling people that we don’t know the actual day of Jesus’ birth is a beginning.  Telling the truth about Jesus is the safest thing one could do, each and every day of the year.

God bless.

All Things That I Have Said to You

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

In the only name given among men by which we must be saved, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Acts 4:12 (NKJV)

“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.” Matthew 12:31-32 (NKJV)

In God’s plan of salvation “Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man” those foolish things being said about Jesus “will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.”  People can make jokes about these things Jesus said but if they reject Jesus, they also reject the Holy Spirit and thus hell will be their final destination.

“And has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” John is speaking of Jesus in Revelation 1:6 (NKJV)

And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.  Revelation 19:16 (NKJV)

Jesus is “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS” and for true followers of Jesus, “has made us kings and priests to His God and Father.”

“But the Helper, The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I have said to you.” John 14:26 (NKJV)

Those confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, saved according to the [Scriptures], and speak “highly” of the Anthanasian Creed, have still been made “kings and priests to” Jesus’ “God and Father.”  Believing or rejecting the Anthanasian Creed doesn’t have any impact on your salvation.  It’s just one of those foolish things that surfaced, well after Jesus said “The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I have said to you.”

Don’t confuse speaking against the Anthanasian Creed for speaking “against the Holy Spirit,” because nothing could be further from the truth.   

God bless.

Align With His Will And Message

Grace, mercy, and truth will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 2 John 3 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who was given all authority in heaven and on earth, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. Matthew 28:18 (NKJV)

“God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom He also made the worlds”.  Hebrews 1:1-2 (NKJV)

Does anyone [really] believe “God has in these last days spoken to us” by the Anthanasian Creed?  “God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son” with words that align with His will and message.  The writer of the creed contradicts the [Bible] and that can’t come from God.

“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11 (NKJV)

The Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with God’s plan of salvation.  “It shall not return to Me void,” pertains to God’s plan of salvation.  The Anthanasian Creed, by the mouths of those that have chosen to believe it, has accomplished one thing, it proved itself to be the high priest of all false doctrines.  The words “the Son is God,” the centerpiece of that creed, aren’t in the [Bible].  Such an idea didn’t come from the [Bible], at all.    

Would you say the person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, saved according to the [Scriptures], and rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is saved?  As one who loves Jesus, and not ashamed to tell others about Him, I say the person is saved.

The Truth About The Anthanasian Creed

Grace, mercy, and truth will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 2 John 3 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who makes us kings and priests to His God and Father, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Revelation 1:6 (NKJV)

The truth about the Anthanasian Creed, is that it never should have been.  We can eliminate the writers of the New Testament from having anything to do with the Anthanasian Creed because they were already with Jesus in Paradise, well before the Anthanasian Creed surfaced in 325-AD.  Taking it one step further the [Bible] isn’t telling us to look elsewhere for the only way of salvation.  The [Bible] is more than sufficient enough as is.  The Anthanasian Creed forces people to treat it as anything else but. 

Those of you who believe the Anthanasian Creed, or believe “the Son is God,” do you believe it because of what others said about it, or did you investigate it for yourself?  I ask because turning seventy years old is soon becoming a reality, God’s will be done, and I’ve only met a handful of people that have actually read the Anthanasian Creed.

I would advise everyone to stay clear of the Anthanasian Creed.  Pay very close attention to the closing words of the Anthanasian Creed, “You cannot be saved.”  You’d think it’s talking about something in the [Bible] when in fact it’s saying unless one believes the Anthanasian Creed, one “cannot be saved.” 

For those confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, saved according to the [Scriptures], you can’t be totally committed to the cause of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” if you’re telling people they cannot be saved if they reject the Anthanasian Creed.  Taking it one step further the doctrine of the “Trinity” doesn’t exist without the Anthanasian Creed.

I didn’t set out to expose the Anthanasian Creed as a false doctrine.  Those teaching it as sound doctrine, gave me every reason to believe it was not.  I refused to let the [Bible] gather dust, while others chose to believe false teachings.  The Anthanasian Creed, is the high priest of all false doctrines.

God bless.

The Anthanasian Creed is a False Doctrine

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:28-29 (NKJV)

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

I was asked “if I could go back in time, what would that time be?”  I replied that I’d go back to 325-AD.  My question, ‘would you say the person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, and rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is saved,’ proves one thing.  The Anthanasian Creed is a false doctrine.  If you say the person is saved, the Anthanasian Creed becomes null and void.  If you say the person is not saved, God’s plan of salvation becomes null and void.

Here we are some sixteen hundred plus years later, and we know the Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with God’s plan of salvation.  The problem lies within the sixteen hundred plus years, not in God’s plan of salvation.  The longer the Anthanasian Creeds having to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved false method of salvation is taught as a truth, the more it becomes a “truth” for those that have chosen to believe it.

Don’t mistake the Anthanasian Creed for God’s plan of salvation, because nothing could be further from the truth.  God’s plan of salvation is plain, simple, and easy to understand.  Believe in Jesus and you will be saved.  The person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, is saved.  Becoming a true follower of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” has absolutely nothing to do with the Anthanasian Creed.  If I went back to 325-AD I would still be striving to prove the Anthanasian Creed false before its misconception could spread for the next 1600 years.

God Who Eternally Existed With The Father?

“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 name of Him who was given all authority in heaven and on earth, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. Matthew 28:18 (NKJV)

“I will not execute the fierceness of My anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, the Holy one in your midst; and I will not come with terror.” Hosea 11:9 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian’ radio station I heard, “God has come and became a man.”  The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  Knowing the God of the [Bible] knows hears and sees all things, and cannot lie, I’d stay clear of the Anthanasian Creed, if I were you.  As you can see the speaker’s “God has come and became a man” contradicts “For I am God, and not man,” Hosea 11:9.  The Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” is a must have for the follower of that creed, even at the expense of [Biblical] truths.

The speaker went on to say “God who eternally existed with the Father.”  This implies “God” and “the Father” are not one and the same.

“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)

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)

According to Ephesians 1:17 “the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory” and John 20:17 “My God,” Jesus’ God is “the Father of glory” God.  Don’t mistake the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” for the all-knowing God of the [Bible].  You’ll say things that contradict [Biblical] truths, if you do.

The Son of the Living God

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  1 John 5:5 (NKJV)

In the name of the Son of the living God, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. John 6:69 (NKJV)

When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” So they said, some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”  Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.”  Matthew 16:13-17 (NKJV)

Let me emphasize, Jesus asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”  Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”  Jesus answered and said to Peter, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.”

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) 

Jesus saying “but My Father who is in heaven” to Peter and “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God” in John 20:17, guarantees one thing, Peter and Jesus’ God was behind Peter’s, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”  It wasn’t a “lucky guess” on Peter’s part.

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found Him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?” He answered and said; “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?” And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.” John 9:35-37 (NKJV)

Jesus was talking to a man born blind but had his sight restored by Jesus.  Jesus said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”  He answered and said; “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?” and Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.”

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

The [Bible] is crystal clear.  Jesus is “the Son of God.”  “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.”

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

Jesus said, while nailed to the cross, to His God, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

Let’s cut to the chase.  Some people say God died on a cross.  Stop reading and imagine for a moment, a world without God, because He died.  The mere thought of it is terrifying to me, as it should for those confessing “Jesus is the Son of God.”  It was “the Son of God” Jesus who died on a cross for the sin of the world while God lives.

The Anthanasian Creed would have you believe that “God died on a cross.”  In fact it mandates you believe it in order to be saved, forcing people to believe the unimaginable. This is not what the [Bible] tells us.  The truth straight from the [Bible], is Jesus is “the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

God bless.

The Anthanasian Creed Proves One Thing

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. Hebrews 4:14 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who makes us kings and priests to His God and Father, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Revelation 1:6 (NKJV)

“Whosoever will be saved, before all things, it is necessary that he hold the catholic (i. e. , universal, Christian) faith. Which faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.”  - First two sentences of the Anthanasian Creed.

“So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God. And yet they are not three Gods, but one God.” - The Anthanasian Creed.

“This is the catholic (Christian) faith; which except you believe faithfully and firmly, you cannot be saved.” - Last sentence of the Anthanasian Creed.

After reading “except you believe faithfully and firmly, before all things, the Son is God, you cannot be saved,” I hope you’d see that it’s a false method of salvation, and not in the [Bible].  The words “the Son is God” aren’t in the [Bible]. 

“Except you believe faithfully and firmly, before all things, the Son is God, you cannot be saved,” the Anthanasian Creeds false method of salvation in a nut shell, proves one thing.  This false method of salvation wouldn’t exist at all, if not for the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].

“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)

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)

The [Bible] is crystal clear.  Believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved (John 3:16).  Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life.”  The [Bible] is full of wonderful truths.  Telling others it’s more than sufficient enough as is, is the safest thing one could do. 

If you’re teaching the Anthanasian Creed is sound doctrine, consider this, the words “Jesus said” aren’t in the Anthanasian Creed.  I hope that causes you to think twice about the Anthanasian Creed.

The Interview

What you’re about read, is a letter I sent to someone I heard on the radio.  The blank spaces are names, dates and times that I have intentionally omitted for their privacy.

The letter:

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

Dear ______,

My name is Jim Masterson.  I live in the state of New Hampshire, and listen to your program on______.

I was listening to the program on ________ @ _____ AM, when I heard you say “We need to be ready to answer questions.”  I joined the program near the tail end of it with roughly 8 minutes remaining.  A conversation that took place between _____ ________ and someone else whose name eludes me, on how people that have been “trained” in the Bible should set the example.  

Your response to something _____ said while being interviewed by this person was, _____, “should have been better prepared to answer the question.”  This has led me to ask you a question.

If I was to give the names of those I have sent the question to, you’d recognize the majority of them. One individual did attempt to answer the question.  I say “attempt” because this individual’s answer wasn’t really an answer, “Yes, and no.”  Others offered advice, as to things I should read.

Here’s my question.

Would you say the person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, and rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is saved?

As one who loves Jesus, and not ashamed to tell others about Him, I say the person is saved.

Thanks for taking my question.

I’m very much looking forward to hearing from you.

In Christ, a New Creation

“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 name of the only begotten Son of God, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. John 3:18 (NKJV)

Unlike the inspired word of God, the Anthanasian Creed doesn’t endure forever.  This makes it all the easier to expose the Anthanasian Creed for what it is, false doctrine.  Without those that have chosen to believe it, the Anthanasian Creed wouldn’t have made its way into the twenty first century.  If you believe the Anthanasian Creed is sound doctrine, allow the word of God to correct you.

“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)

The Anthanasian Creed was birthed well after “the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,” 325-AD to be exact.  Its followers are the ones, saying, unless one believes “the Son is God” which is to say the doctrine of the “Trinity,” one cannot be saved.  If this having to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved method of salvation is true, and obviously it’s not, those mentioned in the [Bible] (by default) would be eternally separated from the all-knowing God of the [Bible].  “The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,” is the all-knowing God of the [Bible].

“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)

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.  2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)

“Whoever believes in” Jesus “is in Christ, a new creation.”  Saying the Anthanasian Creed had something to do with it, is beyond comprehension.

In the Bible

“We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.” Colossians 1:3 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who was given authority over all flesh, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. John 17:2 (NKJV)

And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (although the number of the names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, “Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry.” Acts 1:15-17 (NKJV)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Bible scholars can’t understand how after 3 ½ years there was only 120 followers of Jesus.”  The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  The speaker went on to say, about the 120, “That’s hardly a mega church.” 

We know the 3 ½ years is referring to the length of Jesus’ earthly ministry.  The “about a hundred and twenty,” the number of those with “Peter.” 

These so called “Bible scholars,” seem to have interviewed every single person that witnessed Jesus’ earthly ministry for themselves in order to know the exact count of followers.  What are we to make of their assumption?  I “can’t understand” why anyone would say “after 3 ½ years there was only 120 followers of Jesus,” as that is not what the [Bible] says.  Saying things are in the [Bible] when they’re not, leads people to believe things that are not actually said in the [Bible].

Don’t confuse “membership” of a local church for being saved according to the [Scriptures].  The name “by which” one “must be saved” will differ from one “church” building to the next.  Additionally, don’t mistake earthly institutions called “church” for the Body of Jesus Christ, because nothing could be further from the truth.  It is safe to say that if we have to believe the teachings of every “church” denomination known to us today to be saved, we’d all be eternally separated from God.  The [Bible] is crystal clear concerning the matter, believe in Jesus and you will be saved.

The false teachings spread by all the different denominations do not have eternal implications.  They solely create misbelief here on earth.  The moment the one believing them takes their last breathe here on earth truth will set in.  What you’re about to read will expose these false teachings as something that separates us from the truth.  These denominations “churches” have set themselves apart from the others, condemning those that don’t believe the same.  They have based their teachings on the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible] and not the [Bible]. 

What you have on this earth expires the moment you take your last breath.  The only thing that matters in that exact moment is do you believe in Jesus.  If you do, you will be saved.  The word of God endures forever, and I would take that very seriously if I were you.

God bless.

It is Finished!

“We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.” Colossians 1:3 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who was given all authority in heaven and on earth, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. Matthew 28:18 (NKJV)

Don’t mistake the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible] for the [Bible].  You’ll find man’s interpretations of the [Scriptures] change from one place to another, if you do.  God’s plan of salvation, found in the [Bible], is fixed and crystal clear.

So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.  John 19:30 (NKJV)

Jesus saying “It is finished” sealed the deal on God’s plan of salvation.  You cannot overemphasize what Jesus accomplished on the cross.  There is no way for salvation, forgiveness of sin, without Jesus’ shed blood.  The Anthanasian Creed adds on to what Jesus did for us, as if what Jesus did wasn’t enough.

God bless.

My Mission Continues

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. Hebrews 4:14 (NKJV)

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

“Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” John 7:24 (NKJV)

You’ve probably heard the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”  Well the same can be said about man; specifically those claiming to be teaching “Biblical” truths.

Don’t judge what you’re hearing from the pulpit by the one who’s delivering it.

I wasn’t always up front with followers of the Anthanasian Creed.  From my youth when I had doubts about their teachings, to decades later knowing the [Bible] doesn’t support the Anthanasian Creed, I struggled with the idea of letting them know the truth.  Although I didn’t have any aversion towards followers of that creed during this time, I know there were times when I just didn’t want to be around them.  I’m sure the fear of having to face “the church” or losing family and friends, had everything to do with it.  My silence regarding the Anthanasian Creed all ended in 2009 and my writing on the subject began.  My mission, to expose the Anthanasian Creed as the false doctrine it is, continues.

God bless.

Do You Believe the Bible?

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  1 John 5:5 (NKJV)

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

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “If you don’t believe the Bible, you’re calling God a liar.”  My first thought after hearing it was if that doesn’t put every single one of us on notice, I don’t know what does.  The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

It is my obligation to tell you the Anthanasian Creed is the high priest of all false doctrines.  It attempts to make the Son of God, the Son is God.  Those that believe this creed don’t see that the inspired word of God, the [Bible], is more than sufficient enough as is.

Those that believe the [Bible] is more than sufficient enough as is, know the Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul.  The good thing is they will say the person that confesses Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, and rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is saved. 

What Jesus accomplished in the first century is far greater than the Anthanasian Creed forcing people to believe, falsehoods.  Do you believe the [Bible]?

God bless.

Treat the Bible with Respect

“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, “The word of God is not a human enterprise.”  The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed. 

I’d say, as one that rejects the Anthanasian Creed, the speaker is 100% correct.  “The word of God is not a human enterprise.”  The Anthanasian Creed however, is.  Simply put if you’re confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of your life, you are saved according to the [Scriptures].  Your salvation has absolutely nothing to do with the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible], more specifically, the Anthanasian Creed.  Nothing has caused more people to turn from [Biblical] truths to false teachings, than the Anthanasian Creed.

“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” Matthew 17:5b, c and d (NKJV)

Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” John 11:41-42 (NKJV)

God wants us to “Hear Him,” listen to these things Jesus said, not to lean on our own understanding of these things Jesus said.  Treat them, and all those found in the [Bible] with total respect, that they are sufficient enough as is. 

Knowing Jesus “because of the people who are standing by” gave thanks to God “I thank You,” we should follow Jesus’ lead.  Thank God because God’s increase is always guaranteed for all those within hearing distance of it when the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached in truth.

God bless.

Find Jesus!

Grace, mercy, and truth will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 2 John 3 (NKJV)

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

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “If you’re here today and investigating Christianity…”  The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  As one rejecting the Anthanasian Creed I’d say if you are investigating Christianity, start with the [Bible] and don’t stop until you trust the [Bible] alone to be more than sufficient enough as is.

It’s Saturday.  After a week of twelve to sixteen hour work days, Anthony “Tony” needs time to relax.  Tony’s friends, Mark, Hector and Brett, who are regular church goers recommended a movie to Tony and offered to pick up the tab.  Tony has no desire to attend a local church with them but accepted their offer. Tony and his friends also agreed to meet at the local coffee house after the one o’clock showing. Tony arrives at the theater, with twenty minutes to spare.  It’s time for Tony to choose the movie.

                                                      

Now Showing

1:00—4:30—8:00 PM

Theater One             Theater Two                        Theater Three

   The Bible      Anthanasian Creed           Earthly Institutions Called Church

As he reads the titles, thinking of his friends and whispering to himself, Tony says, “If this doesn’t make me want to go back to work I don’t know what will.  They’re buying… what do I have to lose.  They did recommend Earthly Institutions Called Church.  Anthanasian Creed…creeds have something to do with church.  [The] Bible, church.  Earthly Institutions Called Church it is.  I like the title and I can leave any time I want.” 

After getting what has to be the largest tub of popcorn ever, two boxes of candy and a bottled water, bought and paid for by Tony’s friends, he hands his ticket over to the attendant and finds his seat.

After the movie Tony goes straight to the local coffee house and low and behold Mark, Hector, and Brett were there to greet him.

“Tony… over here!  Let me get your coffee,” said Mark.  Tony acknowledges with a hand wave to stay put and orders his coffee.  With coffee in hand Tony joins his three friends.

Tony begins with, “After seeing Earthly Institutions Called Church, there’s a zero percent chance of you ever getting me to go church.”

“They’re cults… those people in the movie aren’t saved.  They don’t teach the bible in those churches.  I wouldn’t go to one of them either.  Not all churches are like that, ours isn’t,” explained Mark.

A total stranger seated within hearing distance of the conversation, firmly and with no introduction looked at Tony and chimed in, “I just came from the movie myself and it wasn’t meant to keep you from going to church, it was meant to expose false teachings.  You need to find Jesus.”  At that the stranger turned to walk out the door.

Touched by the stranger’s words Tony starts to have a change of heart, “Mark, Hector, Brett, I’m sure you guys aren’t chasing after false teachings like those cults.  I think I need to find Jesus.  Maybe I need to go to your church tomorrow,” said Tony.

With a sigh of relief, “We’ll pick you up at ten… we will do this together,” replied Hector.

It’s Sunday.  Church has ended.  Tony and his friends arrive back at the same coffee house to discuss what just took place at church.

Tony begins with a soft but serious tone, “Your pastor who speaks very highly of what he believes, made it crystal clear.  He left me no choice unless I believe what he believes, I cannot be saved.  I can come to church with you but unless I believe what you believe, I can’t be a member of it.  What’s causing you to believe there’s a difference between your church and those you’ve chosen to stay clear of because I can tell you there isn’t?”

“The difference is we believe the bible,” said Mark.

“Mark, your church, the churches mentioned in the movie, have their own interpretations of the Bible.  If there is one thing I’ve learned these past two days, it’s that.  The way I see it the Bible’s not the problem here,” replied Tony.  “I’ve been saying it all along, why I won’t go to church.  There’s no way to agree on anything, when everyone believes their way is the only way.  Remember what that man said to me yesterday?  Find Jesus.  That’s exactly what I intend to do.  If the Bible is true, it will show me the way.  Imagine that, what church goers have been trying to get me to do for years a total stranger gets it done in matter of seconds.  What’s that you always say?  God works in mysterious ways.”

A person can choose to believe whatever they like, how they explain it will reveal what’s behind it all.  There’s a good explanation as to why people just can’t seem to get along with one another these days, in church, outside the church.  They don’t trust the inspired word of God, the [Bible], to be more than sufficient enough as is.  I can’t imagine everyone getting along in a world bent of silencing [Biblical] truths.  I can only look forward to it with Jesus.

Find Jesus!

God bless.

The One Way Ticket to Paradise

“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 name of Him who was given all authority in heaven and on earth, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. Matthew 28:18 (NKJV)

Now the Angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur. And He said, “Hagar, Saria’s maid, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She said, I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Saria.” The Angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hand.”  Genesis 16:7-9 (NKJV)

Moving to Genesis 16:13, “she” is referring to Hagar:

Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, “Have I also here seen Him who sees me?”

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Who is the Angel of God?”  The speaker on the radio gave four examples where “Angel of God” is mentioned in the [Bible].  The speaker’s message however was centered on the conversation between “the Angel of the Lord” and, Hagar.  The speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed. 

The Anthanasian Creed creates one problem after another for its followers.  By relying on this creed, they are basing their beliefs on non-Biblical texts that contradict the [Bible].  That alone implies that they are not treating the [Bible] as a reliable source.  The longer they cling to the Anthanasian Creed, the easier it becomes for them to say things are in the [Bible] when they’re not.

As we continue keep this in mind, “the Angel of the Lord found” Hagar “by a spring of water in the wilderness.”  I believe some of you have already figured out where this is going.   

The speaker believes the “bible” says “the Angel of the Lord” is Jesus “God.”  The speaker bases this on Hager saying in Genesis 16:13, “You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees” and “Have I also here seen Him who sees me?”  What Hagar said is found in the [Bible], but it doesn’t make Jesus “the Angel of the Lord,” God.  Hager is asking a question of “the Angel of the Lord,” but the [Bible] does not provide us with any answer “the Angel of the Lord” may have given her.

“Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father.” John 6:46 (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)

Jesus’ brethren’s God and Father and Jesus’ God and Father are one and the same (John 20:17).  Unless Jesus is lying when He said “Not that anyone has seen the Father” in John 6:46, Hagar didn’t see God.  When Jesus speaks of “the Father,” He’s referring to His God and Father (John 20:17).  Jesus could not be more specific about this.

The speaker [really] does believe Hagar was looking at “God” because the speaker believes, “the Son is God.”  I know this because the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” is defined by that creed, even at the expense of these things Jesus said.  According to John 6:46 and 20:17, Hagar wasn’t looking at Jesus’ God.   

“Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God. But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.” Luke 12:8-9 (NKJV) 

Jesus tells us “the angels of God” play a significant role in God’s plan of salvation (Luke 12:8-9).  The angels are neither Jesus nor are they God but are exactly what the [Bible] says they are, angels of God.  There are many angels referenced in the [Bible] passing along God’s messages.

“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) 

Jesus wants us to believe He is, “the Son of God.”  Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.  1 John 4:15 (NKJV)

Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.” Luke 23:42-43 (NKJV)

When I picture Jesus dying on the cross for me, knowing one of the two crucified with Jesus that day is with Jesus (Luke 23:42-43), I see no reason to believe the Anthanasian Creed for anything, let alone a one way ticket to “Paradise.”

“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)

It is my obligation to tell you there’s only one way to “Paradise,” believe “in” Jesus.

God bless.

The Anthanasian Creed Will Not Endure Forever

“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 name of Him who was given authority over all flesh, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. John 17:2 (NKJV)

Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him, and keep His word.”  John 8:54-55 (NKJV)

Jesus answered, “And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him, and keep His word.”  Jesus is known for telling the truth, and the [Bible] gives us no reason to believe otherwise.

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Mark 13:32 (NKJV)

And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:3 (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)

Jesus not only wants us to believe “the Son” doesn’t know “that day and hour, He wants us to believe “the only true God” is His God.  Jesus said “nor the Son, You, the only true God” and “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.”

“He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.” John 14:24

I know these things Jesus said aren’t mine, either.  I believe them to be absolute truths, trustworthy, and I’ll certainly share them with others, but I am not the source of them.  Jesus’ God, is the source of these things Jesus said. 

The [Bible] makes provisions for Jesus to not know all things.  It also explains “the only true God” was the source of these things Jesus said.  “The only true God” is all-knowing while Jesus is not.  

For those believing the Anthanasian Creed has “opened” their eyes as to who Jesus is.  Jesus is the Son of God and not the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” that was birthed in 325-AD.  Removing the Anthanasian Creed from the equation solves the problem.  Actually whether one continues to cling to the Anthanasian Creed or not, it will not endure forever.

God bless.
