The Bible, As It Will Always Be

The Bible, as it will always be, is a story of redemption. It isn’t leading anyone to believe falsehoods. The fact of the matter is, the Anthanasian Creed itself is a problem. It never should have made its way into this century. At issues is the tale of the Anthanasian Creed since its inception, the tale of its followers teaching and perpetuating it. I remember well, being terrified of speaking against the Anthanasian Creed’s false method of salvation. By the grace of God, for some time now, that’s not the case anymore. Since that time, I have come to see the tale of the Anthanasian Creed for what it really is. It prepares folks to tolerate known biblical falsehoods. It is not the source, because that dubious distinction belongs to the Anthanasian Creed alone which declares: unless one believes “the Son is God” one “cannot be saved.” For example, those teaching “the Son is God” as believable today, whatever they have to say about it, supersedes everything Jesus accomplished in the first century. “The Son is God” only came to exist with the Anthanasian Creed, not because there is Biblical support for it. The tale of the Anthanasian Creed, is where its followers spend the majority of their time defending it. Thus, its followers tolerate the teaching of “the Son is God,” and not the very thing proving it to be false. I’m not talking about gaining membership of a local church here folks, believing what they believe. I’m talking about one’s salvation. What one must believe in order to be saved according to the Scriptures. If you believe “the Son is God,” it is not too late to face the truth that Jesus is the Son of God. The Bible, as it will always be, is a story of redemption. God bless. In His Care… Jim

If It's Biblical, Be Encouraged

No one should say there is actual evidence of Jesus claiming to be God in the Bible, because in fact, there isn’t any. Let’s look at the Biblical evidence concerning the matter. In John 20:17 (NKJV) Jesus said, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” If it’s biblical, and Jesus’s ascension to His God and Father most certainly is, be encouraged by it. Let every other person be a doubter, who challenges Jesus’s ascension to His God and Father. God bless. In His Care… Jim

The Trinity In Action?

And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.” John 1:32 (NKJV) I heard a speaker say that in John 1:32, John the Baptist “Saw the trinity in action, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.” Every time a verse of Scripture is singled out as showing “the Son is God” and Jesus are the same, John 20:17 brings that false claim to a screeching halt - “I am ascending to My Father,” “and to My God.” If it’s about the doctrine of the “Trinity” folks, it has absolutely nothing to do with Jesus. Please trust the Biblical account of what John saw that day, which is available for all to read in the Bible. God bless. In His Care… Jim

In John 20:17 (NKJV) Jesus said, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” If that’s any indication that Jesus ascended to His God and Father, then it’s time to put the Anthanasian Creed’s “the Son is God” to rest.

Thank God For That

If you consider one’s preaching as having authority, would you think everything they’re saying is true? I ask because there’s a lot preaching going on these days, in a multitude of venues, and there’s every biblical reason to believe it’s not all true. In John 20:17 (NKJV) Jesus said, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” From a Biblical perspective John 20:17 is clear. Jesus ascended to His God and Father. I hope that you can say when the Bible speaks of Jesus’s ascension, it is with authority. Christ Jesus is risen, and He has ascended to His God and Father. I say, thank God for that. God bless.

The Truth Shall Make You Free

When teaching falsehoods as true today, some are going to like it, others won’t. Those teaching falsehoods as true today, along with those following them, aren’t focused on the truth. The Bible gives us instructions on what to do, and what not to do. Play it safe and trust the Bible wholeheartedly. Once you trust the Bible, no matter what may come your way, “the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32 NKJV). God bless. In His Care… Jim

It's Absolutely Believable

Do you believe that “the Son is God” and Jesus are the same? Academically speaking it should only be taught as hypothetical. Biblically speaking you can be sure of John 20:17 (NKJV) where Jesus said, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” What would you want others to know about Jesus’s ascension to His God and Father? It’s well documented and available for all to read in the Bible, and it’s absolutely believable. If you’re teaching “the Son is God” and Jesus are the same, you should know its support system is hypothetical. Jesus ascended to His God and Father (John 20:17), and it is biblically impossible to prove otherwise. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Who Shall Perish Everlastingly?

What you’re about to read has absolutely nothing to do with the Biblical account of who Jesus is but rather, a particular falsehood that’s being taught as true today. The Anthanasian Creed states: “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.” It goes on to state unless one believes everything recorded within that creed, which certainly includes “the Son is God,” they “cannot be saved.” Consider who this implies “shall perish everlastingly” for not believing “the Son is God.” Keep in mind that this particular false method of salvation dates back to, AD 325. Do we disregard the salvation of born-again believers in Christ Jesus, who actually walked and talked with Jesus? I’m not talking about those of us having access to the Bible today but rather the apostles John, Peter and Paul just to name a few. Seriously, does their salvation hinge on them believing in something that appeared centuries later? There’s no margin for error here folks, because nothing could have been made any clearer for us. According to the there is no salvation, outside believing “the Son is God.” The closing sentence of that creed reads as followed: “This is the catholic (Christian) faith; which except you believe faithfully and firmly, you cannot be saved.” The followers of the Anthanasian Creed would have you believing that there is actual biblical evidence of “the Son is God” and Jesus being the same. There is not, but if there was, that would mean everything recorded in the Bible is meaningless. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Not That Jesus?

Is this Jesus you’re talking about the same Jesus, after His death burial and resurrection, that ascended to His God and Father? I ask because one would have to bypass John 20:17, or not be aware of it all, to say He’s “Not that Jesus.” God Bless. In His Care… Jim

Would Your Input Be Biblical?

Imagine connecting with a group of people who seek the truth about Jesus and you’re discussing the doctrine of the “Trinity.” Would your input be Biblical? If you understood that the Bible was clear about Jesus’s ascension to His God and Father (John 20:17), as I do, you’d know “the Son is God” only came to exist with the Anthanasian Creed. There is not Biblical support for it. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Hence The Expression

In AD 325 the Anthanasian Creed encountered opposition. The Anthanasian Creed is a belief on a trinitarian doctrine, hence the expression “the Son is God.” Today, its followers are actually being falsely led to believe that “the Son is God” and Jesus are the same. If you’re not careful, you could be found on the wrong side of Jesus’s teachings concerning the matter. The Bible is trustworthy as is. In John 20:17 (NKJV) Jesus said, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” After reading what Jesus said in John 20:17, I find it refreshing to say that Jesus’s God and Father and my God and Father are the same. It’s Biblical. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Consider where absolute truths concerning Jesus’s accomplishments in the first century are found. Wouldn’t that be as they are laid out for us in the Bible? Of course they would. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t say the Bible is trustworthy as is, and then allow for man’s understanding of Scripture to take precedence. It would be heretical doctrine if salvation hinges on the works of those not mentioned in the Bible.

A Call To Follow Jesus

Biblically speaking the words “Follow Me” is a call to follow Jesus. Consider for a moment what one must believe in order to be saved according to the Scriptures. Did you find yourself recalling the tale of the Anthanasian Creed? How about John 3:16, or “there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12 NKJV). Were any of these the first thing that came to mind? Maybe you were reminded of what first led you to believe in Christ Jesus. Regardless of what you’ve been taught or told, the important thing is to follow Jesus according to the Scriptures. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Whatever it is that’s keeping one from seeing the significance of Jesus having ascended to His God and Father, I pray God they get rid of it soon. “The Son is God” and Jesus cannot be the same.

The Risen Christ Jesus

How much of what’s being said about the risen Christ Jesus today is gospel? Don’t be fooled by the many falsehoods being taught as true these days, because the only thing that will pass the test of time is what the Bible says about Jesus. The real gospel is that the risen Christ Jesus did in fact ascend to His God and Father. The Anthanasian Creed states: unless one believes “the Son is God” one “cannot be saved.” Make no mistake, this particular falsehood is man-made. Therefore, the Son of God, Jesus, and the risen Christ Jesus are the same. It is time to put the Anthanasian Creed’s “the Son is God” to rest. God bless. In His Care… Jim

How Then Can One believe?

Biblically speaking, Jesus’s ascension to His God and Father is meaningful. Consider the ramifications of having no recorded evidence of Jesus’s ascension. It would open the door for someone to make assumptions about Jesus’s fate. Since there is recorded evidence of Jesus actually saying, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God” (John 20:17 NKJV), how then can one believe that “the Son is God” and Jesus are the same? God bless. In His Care… Jim

"The Son is God" is Man-Made

It’s natural for followers of the Anthanasian Creed to say “the Son is God.” However, they should avoid offering their opinion concerning the matter, because it is man-made. We can clearly see that “the Son is God” is man-made because it takes man’s understanding of the Scriptures to construct it. There’s no actual evidence of Jesus claiming God in the Bible, leaving every reason to believe “the Son is God” is man-made. If you are curious about “the Son is God,” here’s something you should know about Jesus. He ascended to His God and Father. Therefore, “the Son is God” and Jesus cannot be the same. God bless.

With That Said

I often hear about the time spent on preparing sermons. In some cases, due to unexpected circumstances, none at all. For the most part, however, I’ve come to learn that time has been set aside during the week to piece the sermon together. Drawing from things learned at Seminary, is often used to establish the credibility of the preparer. There are a number of pastors and teachers today with over 40 plus years of experience to draw from. In John 20:17 (NKJV) Jesus said, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” With that said, how long did it take for you to see that Jesus was about to ascend to His God and Father? God bless. In His Care… Jim

Jesus Claiming To Be God In The Bible?

How can anyone not see that Jesus is speaking of ascending to His God and Father in John 20:17? Other than Satan who does not want anyone seeing it at all, I would say it is because of one of two things. For one, some folks just do not have time for Jesus in their life today. I pray God that they find it soon. Second, they are just not willing to change, believing they have been preaching the word of God all along. For example, those believing “the Son is God,” believe “someone” has actually found evidence of Jesus claiming to be God in the Bible. Here’s the problem with that, in John 20:17 (NKJV) Jesus said “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” As you can see, we can directly link the ascension of Jesus to His God and Father, to something Jesus actually said in the Bible. Who then, is the source of this so-called “evidence” of Jesus claiming to be God in the Bible? We can eliminate Jesus as the source because it contradicts Jesus’s teachings. God bless.
