The Thief on the Cross Settles the Matter

“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.

When it comes to exposing false teachings for what they are, it is [Biblical] truths that bring them to the surface for all to see.  The person that is set on accepting the [Bible] for what it is, the inspired word of God, won’t be fooled by false teachings.

Just as the [Bible] turns people to God’s plan of salvation, false teachings turn people away from [Biblical] truths.  For example to say believing in Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven, opens the door for nonbelievers to say there is no heaven.  Another example, the believer says God loves you, and the nonbeliever, there is no God.  Obviously this doesn’t make it so but for nonbelievers in Jesus Christ, it’s an easy way out.  

The follower of the Anthanasian Creed takes this to a new level.  They’ll tell you God died on a cross for the sin of the world knowing that same God sent His Son into the world, to die on a cross for the sin of the world.  For them it becomes not what the [Bible] says, but what they need it to say.

It doesn’t matter how many people are gathered together believing the same false teachings, there’s absolutely nothing to be gained from it.  The person that is set on looking out for what works best for them in this world, is blind to [Biblical] truths.

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)

This is referring to one of the two thieves hanging on a cross.  While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, referring to Luke 23:43, “Where is Paradise?  All we have to do is look somewhere else in the bible.”  The speaker on the radio made it perfectly clear, using scripture to support scripture is the [only] way to go.

The speaker [is] a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  There’s not a single verse of [Scripture] to support we must “above all things,” “firmly and faithfully” believe the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” to be saved.

If you believe the [Bible] is the inspired word of God, and treat it as such, you’d know the doctrine of the “Trinity” is a byproduct of the Anthanasian Creed.

There’s a serious problem with telling the individual that has just newly confessed to being a sinner, received forgiveness for their sins according to the [Scriptures], and is now confessing Jesus the Lord and the Savior of their life, that they need to believe the doctrine of the “Trinity” before becoming a “member” of an earthly institution called “church.” 

The doctrine of the “Trinity” is a byproduct of the Anthanasian Creed and, played absolutely no part in the scene where a thief heard “Assuredly, I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise” in the first century.  The thief on the cross [is] with Jesus, “today.”

As the thief hung on a cross, he couldn’t have known the impact his words would have on my life, two thousand years later.  I do thank God for placing a tiny portion of his life in the [Bible], for all to see. 

All the events leading up to and including Yeshua’s death burial and resurrection, and especially the thief on the cross, prove the Anthanasian Creed to be false.  The Anthanasian Creed is not inspired, and will perish.

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 [is] the only way to “the Father.”

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)

These words found in John 14:6 and 20:17 are trustworthy because they’re [in] the [Bible].

According to John 20:17 “the Father” mentioned in John 14:6 is Jesus’ Father, “My Father.”  It doesn’t stop there “I am ascending to My Father… and to My God,” it’s saying Jesus will ascend to His God as well.  I’m not looking to force anyone into believing anything here.  When you face facts, Jesus is known for telling the truth while the Anthanasian Creed stands alone, and has no [Biblical] support.

If it agrees with the gospel of Jesus Christ give thanks to God, knowing God’s increase is attached to it.

God bless.

Mark Knew Jesus Was The Son of God

“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.

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in the Prophets: “Behold I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.” Mark 1:1-2 (NKJV)    

This verse is referring to the one John the Dunker “Baptist” prepared the way for, “who will prepare Your way before You (Mark 1:2).”  While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, referring to this verse, “This someone that would come is God.  Jesus is God.”  The speaker on the radio then went on to say “Mark knew Jesus was God.” 

The speaker announced that he was going to begin reading at Mark 1:1.  I was riding in my car at the time.  I knew I was going to hear scriptures that should have kept the speaker from saying “Mark knew Jesus was God” because Mark is telling us “Jesus Christ” [is] “the Son of God (Mark 1:1).” I was [anxiously] waiting to hear this speaker’s explanation.

I heard the speaker say “The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ” but not, “the Son of God.”  The speaker leaped right over the words “the Son of God,” as if these words didn’t exist in Mark 1:1.

The speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  To the follower of that creed, speaking on behalf of those mentioned in the [Bible] is the norm.  In this case the speaker is stating “Mark knew Jesus was God.”

I don’t know what version of the [Bible] the speaker was using, where the words “the Son of God” wouldn’t be found in Mark 1:1.  I do know the speaker will find no [Biblical] evidence that “Mark knew Jesus was God.”

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

It is my obligation to tell you 1 John 4:15 and “The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Mark 1:1)” come with a 100% guarantee, “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.”

God bless.

The Strength Of The Supply Line

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

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

“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)

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, referring to Mark 13:32, “Now I don’t know how a triune God can say it but since Jesus said it I believe it.”

“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

The speaker on the radio’s “triune God” is nothing more than the Anthanasian Creeds “So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God.”  The speaker on the radio [is] a follower of the Anthanasian Creed. 

The speaker on the radio doesn’t know how Jesus can say “nor the Son” (Mark 13:32), but he’s willing to believe [everything] Jesus said.  It’s the speaker’s “but since Jesus said it I believe it,” that identifies him as another victim of the Anthanasian Creed.

I know why it’s easy to accept Jesus not knowing “that day and hour” (Mark 13:32).  It’s right there in the [Bible].  The God of the [Bible] knows all things.  This is in the [Bible] for all to see as well.  The speakers’ problem is that the “triune God” should know all things but Jesus states that He Himself does not.

If I had to “guess” I’d say [immediately] after the last entry of the New Testament was documented which occurred near the end of the first century, false doctrines began appearing in increasing numbers. With hindsight being 20/20, the Anthanasian Creed is the high priest of them all.

I know this is a military term but it works in other areas as well, an army is only as strong as its supply line.  In the case of the Anthanasian Creed, man’s misunderstanding and/or misinterpretation of [Scripture] is like a virus to those believing it.

On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living waters.” John 7:37-38 (NKJV)

The gospel of Jesus Christ is the one thing that [must] be delivered properly my friends, especially in a world bent on silencing [Biblical] truths.  If you believe the gospel of Jesus Christ tell others exactly what Jesus said in John 7:37-38, “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said.”

It is my obligation to tell you if you believe everything Jesus said, stay away from the Anthanasian Creed.  Without the Anthanasian Creed “the Son is God” doesn’t exist.    

God bless.

Followers Of Messiah Yeshua Agree

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

Have you ever heard there’s a church on every corner?  I’ve actually seen churches across the street from one another.  It usually means the people living there are bible carrying believers. 

I don’t see a problem with a church being on every corner.  Followers of Messiah Yeshua [should] be able to travel as far as they like, any day of the week, and find others believing the exact same thing as them.  There’d be no need to worry about false teachings and/or doctrines creeping in, if the gospel of Jesus Christ is leading the way in each of their lives. 

It certainly would put an end to denominational churches, let alone nonbelievers having to listen to one church criticize another, for the way they handled the exact same situation.

Unless Messiah Yeshua comes before I get to see it, I’ll continue to see people moving further and further apart.  Not from each other in distance mind you, but from the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Messiah Yeshua is coming again, unless one believes in Him as the [Scripture] has said, they’ll distance themselves as far away from the kingdom of God as one could possibly be.

God bless.

The Average Christian?

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

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard two individuals sharing their concerns about the twenty first century “Christian.”  One said to the other, “The average Christian doesn’t know how to answer questions like Jesus being man and divine.  You and I have attended seminary and are qualified to teach them.” 

The two speakers on the radio are followers of the Anthanasian Creed, and that’s [really] all I needed to know.  Hearing them [agreeing] to “The average Christian doesn’t know how to answer questions like Jesus being man and divine” did not sit well with me.  The Anthanasian Creed is behind it all.

If you totally agreed with the God of the [Bible] knowing, hearing and seeing all things, would you be comfortable calling your neighbor an average Christian?  Before judging your neighbor, you should really think about how God knows exactly who [you] are. 

The Anthanasian Creed became doctrine of the Catholic Church in 325-AD, and it comes with a 99.9% guarantee.  The doctrine of the “Trinity” is a by-product of that same creed.  I wouldn’t bet against it if I were you.

Have [you] ever heard, from the same person, the inspired word of God endures forever and cannot change, and it can’t mean what it says?  That’ll be the follower of the Anthanasian Creed because as is, the [Bible] doesn’t work in their favor.

Not a single person has been, nor can ever be saved by the ink it took to write the Anthanasian Creed.  Yet that creed continues to be taught as if [it] was nailed to a cross for the sin of the world, in the first century.

It is my obligation to tell you not to look outside the [Bible], for [Biblical] truths.  If you have attended “seminary,” left believing the Anthanasian Creed a sound doctrine, you’re heading in the wrong direction my friend.  Nothing has caused more people to turn from [Biblical] truths to false teachings, than the Anthanasian Creed.

Let’s take a look at what the gospel of Jesus Christ teaches us.  Keep in mind the gospel of Jesus Christ is found in the [Bible].  This keeps it under the heading of [enduring] forever, and 100% trustworthy.  Cutting to the chase, what Jesus said is good to go forever and 325-AD is no exception to the rule. 

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

“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living waters.” John 7:38 (NKJV)

“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)

With Jesus saying “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said” in John 7:38, that He is “the Son of God” in Revelation 2:18, I’d say confessing “Jesus is the Son of God (1 John 4:15)” is the safest thing to do.  One thing is for sure, God’s increase is attached to these things spoken by Jesus.  The evidence of it being so [is] what’s known to us today as 1 John 4:15, “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.”

God bless.

Scripture Alone

“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, “The book of Revelation is the most self-interpreted book in the bible.”  The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

Whether the book of Revelation is, or is not “the most self-interpreted book in the bible,” is not of my concern.  Jesus and the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” are not one and the same.  I know this comes with a 100% guarantee.

“The Father is God; the Son is God; and the Holy Ghost is God.” The Anthanasian Creed 

“The Son is God” can only be traced back to 325-AD, the year the Anthanasian Creed became doctrine of the Catholic Church.

If a person were to begin reading at Revelation 1:1, and then each verse that follows, it won’t take long before they know the Anthanasian Creed is a false doctrine.  They can choose to believe what they read in the [Bible], or trust an interpretation of it, but forgetting the inspired word of God endures forever leads to one problem after another.

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

Revelation 1:6 shows us why the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” is to be kept as far away from the book of Revelation as it could possibly be.  It’s saying nothing more or less than Jesus “has made” His followers “kings and priests to” Jesus’ “God and Father.”  Believing anything else is a problem.   

“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

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

The one saying unless a person believes “before all things” “the Son is God” they “cannot be saved,” has chosen to accept someone’s interpretation of Revelation 1:6, or their own.

There’s no [Biblical] evidence of anyone having to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved.  The fact of the matter is without the Anthanasian Creed “the Son is God,” isn’t. 

The Anthanasian Creed [has] created one problem after another for its followers.  The solution to it all however is plain, simple, and easy to do.  If you’re [really] interested in telling others about the [Biblical] Jesus, before all things, accept what the [Bible] has to say about Him.  Jesus is the Son of God.  It is sufficient enough.

How did the Anthanasian Creeds [false] method of salvation, being synonymous with [Biblical] truths, make its way into the twenty first century?  When the Anthanasian Creed surfaced in 325-AD, the common person didn’t have access to the [Bible].  Here we are in the twenty first century and bibles are “a dime a dozen,” but are we reading them with the accuracy to believe God’s intention or to support man’s interpretation of them? 

It is my obligation to tell you, God’s increase isn’t attached to what man believes works best for them.  All the evidence points to man using the Anthanasian Creed to further their own beliefs.

God bless.

If So, Where?

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

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

With hindsight being 20/20, I know the Anthanasian Creed is responsible for turning a lot of people away from [Biblical] truths, to false teachings.  Taking it one step further, it causes them to trust those teaching that creed as a truth, not the all-knowing God of the [Bible].  What I know for sure is the inspired word of God endures forever.

I’m in my mid-sixties now, and I can’t remember a single time when I didn’t have concerns about the doctrine of the “Trinity,” which is a byproduct of the Anthanasian Creed.  Initially, because I feared the repercussions of telling the truth about it, I went along with those believing that creed.  I even signed pieces of paper agreeing to their doctrines.  That all ended in 2009.  The blog came shortly thereafter.

Hearing there [are] three Gods [not being] three Gods but one God in the [Bible], and one of these [being] but [not being] “Gods” is Jesus, left me no choice but to believe whatever it is they’re selling has absolutely nothing to do with the Jesus that died on a cross for me.  I heard this from those knowing that Jesus does not claim to be God, as they admit there is not a single verse of [Scripture] that says it’s so.

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

With the Anthanasian Creed completely out of the picture which is to assume the doctrine of the “Trinity” doesn’t exist, confessing “Jesus is the Son of God” would be the cry of every [Bible] carrying believer.  Who wouldn’t want tell others about “God abides in him, and he in God,” the eternal implications of confessing “Jesus is the Son of God.”

When it comes to the Anthanasian Creed my friends, forcing people to ignore [Biblical] truths is its claim to fame.

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)

Would you say this is [actual] evidence of Jesus calling the God of the [Bible] “My God” His God on the cross, on earth, and in heaven?

“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)

“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)

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

Would you say this is [actual] evidence of Paul Peter and John’s “God and Father” and Jesus’ “God and Father” being one and, the same?

Would you say there’s [actual] evidence of the all-knowing God of the [Bible] being made lower than the angels?  If so, where?

God bless.
