Being Led By The Spirit Of God

I heard, “When you come to church you should hear the word of God.” I have a hard time believing that people come to church with the hopes of hearing made-up stories of how one should live their life these days. They are more likely seeking to learn more about Jesus. Would you say an individual is going to church, for what could be the very first time in their life, expecting to hear truths about Jesus? I would. Biblically speaking, it’s the whole purpose for going to church. Concerning what one “should hear” in church, the question becomes, where does the speaker stand with Jesus? On the word of God, the Bible, or on made-up stories from times past? Near the end of the first century, John the Apostle, being led by the Holy Spirit wrote: 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) Here’s my question: After reading “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God” in John 20:17, would you say Jesus’s God and Father and your God and Father are one and the same? I would, because Jesus said “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God” in John 20:17. Would you say the Anthanasian Creed’s “the Son is God” and Jesus being the same, is made-up and upheld by those not mentioned in the Bible? If you’ve spent any time at all on this blog, you’d know exactly where I stand. Jesus is the Son of God, not God. God bless. In His Care… Jim

People Have Answers

You’re going to miss out on the vastness of Jesus’s teachings, if you’re embracing and promoting false doctrine. The teachings of Christ Jesus are infinitely trustworthy, enduring forever. People have answers today, but not all align with Jesus’s teachings. I pray God that all persons not only put their faith in Jesus, but are aware of the consequences of not being aligned with His teachings as well. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Safe To Believe It

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) If we don’t use the Bible to defend the Bible, there‘s a good chance it will be displayed as more fiction than fact. The Devil doesn’t want the world to see that the Bible is factual. Therefore, disregard the Anthanasian Creed’s “the Son is God.” Believing “the Son is God” and Jesus are the same is fictional. Factually speaking it will never agree with what is written in the inspired word of God, the Bible. It’s safe to say Jesus’s God and Father and Jesus’s brethren’s God and Father are the same, because it is written in the Bible (John 20:17). As you read about Jesus’s activities in the first century, as laid out for us in the Bible, because it is written in the Bible, it will always be safe to believe it. God bless. In His Care… Jim

It's True And Always Has Been True

In John 20:17 (NKJV) Jesus said, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” This is not difficult to understand. It’s true. Jesus ascended to His God and Father. Jesus’s experiences are reliable, so I hope you will get on the right side of them. Faith without doubt could have one believing the false things being said about Jesus. Even when coming from those seeming to be knowledgeable such as pastors, priests, or mentors, it is our responsibility to verify the things they’re saying about Jesus. Jesus is reliable thus making the Anthanasian Creed’s “the Son is God” is unreliable. Even though “the Son is God” and Jesus are seen by some as being one and the same today, scripturally speaking nothing has changed since they were first written. It’s true and always has been true, Jesus ascended to His God and Father. God bless. In His Care… Jim

The Acceptable Time

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) If you believe Jesus is God, then can you tell me this? Why would Jesus say “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God” in John 20:17, and then go on to claim to be God elsewhere in the Scriptures? Jesus saying this should tell you something’s wrong with the way you’ve been taught. When will it be the acceptable time to say, Jesus’s God and Father and Jesus’s brethren’s God and Father are one and the same? God bless. In His Care… Jim

Whatever We Sow

The gospel of Jesus Christ is He is risen (Matthew 28:7), has ascended to His God and Father (John 20:17), and is coming again (1 Corinthians 11:26). The truth is, whatever we sow we’re going to reap (Galatians 6:7). Sowing what has been clearly laid out for us in the Bible, is characteristic of a follower of Jesus. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Forgotten

What’s causing people to believe “the Son is God” and Jesus are the same? What’s causing people to believe that He is God? It’s safe to say, in either case, it’s not the Bible. There’s no evidence of Jesus claiming to be God in the Bible. Actually, Jesus saying “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God” in John 20:17 (NKJV) settles the matter. Jesus ascended to His God, and Father. “The Son is God” is manmade. The evidence of it being so is the birth of the Anthanasian Creed in AD 325. Unless one believes “the Son is God” one “cannot be saved” is a byproduct of the Anthanasian Creed, but the world knew nothing about it until AD 325. Could it be man believes that they’re the measure of all things, and teach things contrary to the word of God as being credible, that causes people to believe false things about Jesus? It’s the only option left, because if you get Jesus wrong you can’t blame the Bible. The biblical account of who Jesus is will be forgotten, when the Anthanasian Creed’s “the Son is God” is taught as being credible. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Focus

Obedience to God keeps one focused on not being so focused on what’s going on around them.

One Less Opportunity To Misuse Jesus's Teachings

I can only image the number of ways the Anthanasian Creed has been misused by its followers, but none surpasses them not telling others of how it actually added onto what Jesus accomplished in the first century. These things Jesus accomplished in the first century are in the Bible. When you really give thought to the biblical account of what Jesus did and choose to accept it as true, you’d see that the world would be better off if the Bible was taught properly. If it was, there’d be at the very least one less opportunity to misuse Jesus’s teachings. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Desire To Believe

We should desire speaking truths about Jesus and beware of falsehoods being taught as true. Some think their message was scripturally sound to begin with, and have been proven wrong by Jesus’s teachings. You’d think the one who believes in Jesus these days would know better. Unfortunately, it’s not the case. Folks can count on being proven wrong by Jesus’s teachings if they believe “the Son is God” and Jesus are the same. How they handle it from that moment on is between them and the one God and Father of all, Jesus’s God, and Father. Desire to believe in Jesus as laid out for us in the Scriptures and not according to man’s understanding of them. Whether one believes in Jesus or not, a biblical view of who Jesus is can only work for the good of civilization. God bless. In His Care… Jim

The Bible Is To Be Believed

There can be debates about Jesus’s accomplishments in the first century, but the Bible is to be believed. Those encouraging others to trust in what they alone can provide, have decided to override biblical truths in all their ways. If you’re looking to share the gospel, for the sake of leading others to the biblical Jesus, know this, the Bible is to be believed. God bless. In His Care… Jim

They Just Don't Get It

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) It’s the same old story, of the person that’s teaching “the Son is God” and Jesus are the same. They just don’t get it. It’s Jesus saying “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God” in John 20:17. The person that’s teaching that “the Son is God” and Jesus are the same, is standing under the authority of the Anthanasian Creed. I wouldn’t count on that. To do so would be to ignore Jesus’s teachings. I’d stay clear of the Anthanasian Creed’s “the Son is God.” You can expect false doctrine to come from those that just don’t get it. We’d all be better off to stand under the authority of Scripture. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Jesus Tells The Truth

There’s no need to be concerned with being wrong about the Anthanasian Creed’s method of salvation. The Bible tells us it’s wrong. If you believe this false method of salvation, that unless one believes “the Son is God” one “cannot be saved," then can you tell me this? If Jesus’s teachings prove something to be false, in this case the Anthanasian Creed’s method of salvation, why would anyone choose to believe it? Jesus tells the truth. Unless one can find Jesus saying something in one place in the Bible and then contradicting Himself in another, the God of the Bible is Jesus’s God, and Father (John 20:17). God bless. In His Care… Jim

The Revelation Of The Anthanasian Creed's "the Son is God"

Jesus’s name has been mishandled in so many ways since the last entry of the New Testament was penned, yet His teachings remain trustworthy to this very day. The moment one actually trusts/believes the biblical account of who Jesus is, they should distribute it with absolute sureness. There’s no better feeling than when walking away from a conversation, knowing you did right by Jesus. The revelation of the Anthanasian Creed’s “the Son is God,” being taught as true these days, proves that modern day false teachers don’t care about what others believe. The Anthanasian Creed’s “the Son is God” has absolutely nothing to do with God’s plan of salvation, as laid out for us in the Bible. You can’t teach any falsehood, as true, without mishandling Jesus’s teachings. Would you walk away from a conversation feeling good about what you said, if you knew it contradicts Jesus’s teachings? I pray God that you wouldn’t. God bless. In His Care… Jim

The Message Is True

I planted, Apollas watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 1 Corinthians 3:6—7 (NKJV). Jesus said in John 20:17 (NKJV), “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” After reading this, would you say Jesus’s God and Father and your God and Father are one and the same? If you’ve spent any time at all on this blog, you’d know these two statements go hand in hand. I know Jesus’s God and Father and my God and Father are one and the same. I expect no less than God to give increase to it (1 Corinthians 3:6—7). Staying faithful to the Scriptures, the message is true. What others choose to believe is between them and the God of the Bible, Messiah Jesus’s God, and Father. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Faith Without Doubt

My faith in the biblical Jesus is the very thing God uses to show me how the Bible declares Jesus is trustworthy. It keeps me absorbed in the things Jesus accomplished in the first century, as laid out for us in the Scriptures. Actually, I’m better off doubting everything I hear about Jesus these days, until I verify it with the Bible. If I get duped into believing any non-biblical thing I hear about Jesus, because I do trust the Bible wholeheartedly, I’ll only have myself to blame. Faith without doubt, could have you believing false things being said about Jesus. God bless. In His Care... Jim
