A Single Biblical Truth

“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 here in Revelation 1:6 (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)

I don’t need to know anything about the Anthanasian Creed, who believed it, or not.  All I need to know is that I need to believe in Jesus, the Son of God, to be saved.  The having to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved “method of salvation” of the Anthanasian Creed is false.   The [Bible] is crystal clear concerning the matter, Jesus is the Son of God.

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.’ I did not know Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel, therefore I came baptizing with water.” And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him. I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.” John 1:29-34 (NKJV)

Let me emphasize, “John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said,” “Behold! The Lamb of God,” “this is the Son of God.”

Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth.” Revelation 5:7-10 (NKJV)

Any attempt to [weave] interlock the Anthanasian Creed to John 1:29-34 and Revelation 5:7-10, will fail.  You can’t make the Anthanasian Creed right, without saying the [Bible] missed the mark when it came to who Jesus is.  You can however prove the Anthanasian Creed wrong, and with just a single [Biblical] truth.  “The Lamb of God” Jesus, "this 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)

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

“Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God,” “believes that Jesus is the Son of God,” will be saved. The Anthanasian Creed simply adds on to what the [Bible] has clearly laid out for us, and it’s wrong.

God bless.
