“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.
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? I would.
The question presents a serious problem, for the follower of
the Anthanasian Creed. It doesn’t matter
how they answer it, the Anthanasian Creed winds up on the wrong end of the truth
every time. To say that person is
saved, is to say the Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to with the
salvation of one’s soul. To say that
person is not saved, is to say the salvation of one’s soul totally
depends on the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible]. It’s simple, the follower of the Anthanasian
Creed is left with having to explain how something they say is the
inspired word of God, the [Bible], is not the whole truth.
“This is the catholic (Christian)
faith; which except you believe faithfully and firmly, you cannot be saved.” The last sentence of the Anthanasian
Creed.
Nowhere in the [Bible] does it say unless one believes Jesus
is God they cannot be saved. It’s the
Anthanasian Creed that’s saying unless one believes “the Son is God,” they “cannot be
saved.” Don’t confuse the
Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is
God,” for the [Biblical] Jesus. The last
entry of the New Testament was written near the end of the first century. In those writings we do not find anyone having
to believe the Anthanasian Creed to be saved as this doctrine of the Catholic
Church didn’t surface until 325-AD.
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God
abides in him, and he in God. 1 John
4:15 (NKJV)
There’s every reason to believe the person making their
final confession just prior to taking their last breathe here on earth, that “Jesus
is the Son of God,” will be saved.
The New Testament includes this very example of a final confession by
the thief on the cross.
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)
Does anyone [really] believe the thief had to believe the
Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is
God,” before Jesus could say “today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”
Taking it one step further because we know the thief was
crucified next to Jesus, the “you cannot be saved” penalty for rejecting the
Anthanasian Creed altogether didn’t apply to him.
I’ve heard it all my friends. Followers of that creed believe they have the
answers to everything pertaining, to it. What they fail to see is that what they have
is solely based on the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].
People can say whatever they like about the [Bible], they’re
free to do so. To give the impression
that one [must] believe the writings of those not mentioned in it, to be saved,
I wouldn’t do that if I were you. The
safest thing one could do, is allow the inspired word of God to speak for
itself. Where the [Bible] is handled
correctly which is to say according to the [Scriptures], God’s increase
abounds.
God bless.
In His Care… Jim
