Grace,
mercy, and truth will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus
Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 2 John 3 (NKJV)
In
the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.
What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth,
Christ is preached; and in this I
rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.
Philippians 1:18 (NKJV)
While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I
heard, “If the man who died on a cross two thousand years ago isn’t God, then
he can’t save anyone.”
Beware of people who quote [Scriptures] regularly, and
defend the Anthanasian Creed as if their salvation depends on it. Philippians 1:18 is clear “whether in
pretense or in truth,” these people operate “in pretense” [and] “in
truth.”
Even when a non-believer quotes a
verse of [Scripture], just the way God intended for it to be, as laid out for
us in the [Bible], “in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.”
Anyone can say [the Son is God] but as soon as they say,
unless one believes [the Son is God] one cannot be saved, they have crossed the
line. In this I will not rejoice,
because the words [The Son is God] aren’t in the [Bible]. In the maze of all that man has added to what
Jesus accomplished in the first century, is where you’ll find the Anthanasian
Creeds [the Son is God] “knotted” to the Son of God.
It’s not right to add things onto God’s plan of
salvation. Why? Because it’s not what the [Bible] instructs
us to do.
Indeed He says, “It is too small a thing that You should
be My Servant. To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to restore the
preserved ones of Israel; I will give You as a light to the Gentiles, That You should be My salvation to the
ends of the earth.” Isaiah 49:6
(NKJV)
When God said “That You should be My salvation to the
ends of the earth,” was He speaking of Himself? No. “It
is too small a thing that You should be My Servant.” He instructed us to keep our eyes on the Son
of God, Jesus.
“I will not execute the fierceness
of My anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, the Holy one in your midst; And I
will not come with terror.” Hosea 11:9 (NKJV)
When God said “For I am God, and not man,” do you
think God wants us to believe He’s the man who died on a cross two thousand
years ago? The mere thought of it is
terrifying to me.
“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)
“Whoever believes in” Jesus, who died on that cross two
thousand years ago, “should not perish but have everlasting life.”
God bless.
In His Care… Jim
