“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 only name given among men by which we must be saved, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,”
greetings. Acts 4:12 (NKJV)
Wherever the Anthanasian Creed is treated as sound doctrine,
expect the [Bible] to be mistreated.
Simply stated, in order for the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” to exist, one would have
to either twist Jesus’ teachings from their intended meaning, or ignore them
altogether.
While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I
heard, “What does it mean to be a Christian?
Until you allow Jesus to take His place you’re not a Christian.” The speaker on the radio was well aware of
Jesus’ true place, saying, “At the right hand of God the Father,” yet the
speaker is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.
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)
In order to accept
the [Biblical] fact that Jesus “ascended” “to My Father” “and
to My God,” His God and Father, one would have to trust the words Jesus
himself said. He ascended to His
God and Father, not to himself. If you
don’t trust He who “ascended” to His God and Father, Messiah Yeshua
“Jesus,” it doesn’t matter what you think about Him.
But he, being full of the Holy
Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,
and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the
right hand of God!” Acts 7:55-56 (NKJV)
If then you were raised with
Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is sitting at the
right of God. Colossians 3:1 (NKJV)
If you believe Jesus is “sitting,” or “standing at
the right hand of God,” then why wouldn’t you see that Jesus is “sitting,”
or “standing” next to God which clearly makes them separate?
“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.” - 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.
Please don’t connect the Anthanasian Creed to true followers
of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” Christians. Followers
of that creed will tell you one must believe the Anthanasian Creed, and
thus the doctrine of the “Trinity,” to be saved. Actually, if you slim it down to its ultimate
meaning, it says unless one believes “before all things” “the Son is
God,” one “cannot be saved.” True
followers of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” look to the cross, not what those in 325-AD
created for themselves. The Anthanasian
Creed has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul.
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 who’s not ashamed
to tell others about Him, I say the person is saved.
“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)
Stick to the [Bible], because in there you will find
“Whoever believes in” Jesus according to the [Scriptures], will be
saved.
God bless.
In His Care… Jim
