“We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, praying always for you.” Colossians 1:3 (NKJV)
In
the only name given among men by which we must be saved, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,”
greetings. Acts 4:12 (NKJV)
Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” Mark 1:17 (NKJV)
Let me
emphasize, Jesus wants us to “follow Me,” follow Him.
While watching television I heard, “The word trinity is not
in the bible. The trinity is the
heritage of the Roman Catholic Church.”
The speaker on the television is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.
“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.
“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)
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)
“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
Of the many
verses of [Scripture] available to me, to prove Jesus did not “keep” the
Anthanasian Creed “whole and undefiled,” I chose John 14:28. Jesus wants His followers to “rejoice
because” He “said, I am going to the Father,’ for My
Father is greater than I.” When Jesus “ascended” to “My
Father is greater than I,” His
Father, He “ascended” to “My God,” His God.
The Anthanasian Creed “none is greater or less than another” doesn’t
agree with these things Jesus said. It explicitly
contradicts “My Father is greater than I.”
“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.
The speaker was correct, saying, “the word trinity is not in
the bible.” The speaker failed to
mention that the words “the Son is God” aren’t in the [Bible] either. “The Son is God” only exists, and thus
the doctrine of “trinity,” because man created 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 speaker is correct when saying “The trinity is the
heritage of the Roman Catholic Church.” With this heritage came the shift forcing that
one must believe the doctrine of the “trinity,” without which one “cannot be
saved.” In the [Bible], there’s not
a single mentioning of anyone having to believe [or else] the doctrine of the
“trinity” to be saved.
When Jesus came into the region of
Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” So they said,
“Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the
prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter
answered and said, “You are the
Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed
are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but
My Father who is in heaven.” Matthew
16:13-17 (NKJV)
When I heard the speaker say “The trinity is the heritage of
the Roman Catholic Church,” I thought about those responsible for the
Anthanasian Creed making its way into the twenty first century. How if they would have taken what Jesus accomplished
in the first century more seriously, rather than tampering with God’s plan of
salvation, everyone would know the answer to the question “Who do men say
that I, the Son of Man, am?” Jesus
is “the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
“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)
If the Anthanasian Creed had never been brought into existence,
people would still have to believe in Jesus to be saved, but there’d be no doubt
as to who Jesus is. “Whoever believes
in” “the Christ, the Son of the living God,” Jesus, will be saved.
Here’s some sound advice for the follower of the Anthanasian
Creed, accept the fact that Jesus did not “keep” the
Anthanasian Creed “whole and undefiled.”
True followers of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” won’t “perish everlastingly,”
for rejecting the Anthanasian Creed altogether.
If you’re interested in passing something down, from one generation
to the next, let it be faith in what Jesus accomplished in the first century,
and keep that whole and undefiled.
God bless.
In His Care…Jim
