“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 the Faithful and True Witness, Messiah Yeshua
“Jesus,” greetings. Revelation
3:14 (NKJV)
Let me take you on a journey through [Scripture] to show you
Jesus is the Son of God.
“You have heard Me say to you, ‘I
am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice
because I said, ‘I am going to the
Father,’ for My Father is
greater than I.” John 14:28 (NKJV)
Let me emphasize, Jesus is “going to the Father,” and
He tells us His “Father is greater than” Jesus.
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 at this time has “not yet ascended to My Father,”
His Father. Jesus’ God and Father, and Jesus’
brethren’s God and Father, are one and the same, “I am ascending to My
Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.”
Now when He had spoken these
things, while they watched, He was
taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they
looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them
in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up
into heaven? This same Jesus, who was
taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go
into heaven.” Acts 1:9-11 (NKJV)
Jesus “was taken up” ascended to His God and, Father.
Then comes the
end, when He delivers the
kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all
authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His
feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. For “He has put all
things under His feet.” But when He says “All things are put under Him,” it is
evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. Now when all things
are made subject to Him, then the Son
Himself will also be subject
to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all. 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 (NKJV)
In “the
end, when” Jesus “delivers the kingdom to” His “God the Father,”
“the Son Himself” Jesus “will also be subject to Him who put all
things under Him, that” Jesus’ “God may be all in all.”
It is my
prayer that this is crystal clear to you.
Now let’s see what the Anthanasian Creed has to say.
“And in this Trinity none is before or after other; none is greater or less than another;
But the whole persons are coeternal together, and coequal:” -Anthanasian Creed
This does not agree with John 14:28, “for My Father is
greater than I.” It also doesn’t
agree with “the Son Himself will
also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all” in 1 Corinthians 15:24-28. Jesus is, “the Son” of God.
The doctrine of “this Trinity” and “none is
greater or less than another,” is from the Anthanasian Creed which
believing in it will not lead you to salvation, and which wouldn’t exist if not
for the Anthanasian Creed.
Which would you say is [Biblical] trustworthy? Believing Jesus’ “Father is greater than”
Jesus or “this Trinity” that “none is greater or less than another”?
“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)
As one who loves Jesus, and not ashamed to tell others about
Him, I say the Anthanasian Creed is not an option. “Whoever believes in” Jesus, “this
same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner
as you saw Him go into heaven.” They
will be saved.
God bless.
In His Care… Jim
