The Anthanasian Creed is Indefensible

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  1 John 5:5 (NKJV)

In the precious and beautiful name of the Faithful and True Witness, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Revelation 3:14 (NKJV)

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6 (NKJV)

We can lead people to the [Biblical] Jesus, but we can’t take people beyond what is true about Him and His accomplishments.  Everything one needs to know about Him, is in the [Bible].  “No one comes the Father except through” Jesus, says it all.  Jesus and God are different, separate, but in agreement in all that they do.

For those confessing Jesus is the Son of God and saved according to the [Scriptures], yet accusing those believing the same of blasphemy for rejecting the Anthanasian Creed, you should give Jesus your undivided attention which He so rightfully deserves.  The Anthanasian Creed, is indefensible.   

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “It’s very important that the bible speaks for itself.”  The speaker on the radio is a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.

“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 confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.  1 John 4:15 (NKJV)

I believe “the [Bible] speaks for itself,” and thus I say, “Whoever believes in” Jesus will be saved.  “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.”  As believers we should become more and more like Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.”  This, is a process.  Where everything points to one having to believe/preach that Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life,” according to the [Scriptures] alone.  So where does, unless one believes the doctrine of trinity one cannot be saved, come from if there’s no [Biblical] evidence of it being so?  It is certainly not from “the [Bible] speaks for itself.” It can only be from man’s understanding of it.

As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I say, it is unthinkable to teach the Anthanasian Creed as sound doctrine.  The [Bible] doesn’t support its [false] “method of salvation” in any way, shape or form.

Whenever the Anthanasian Creed is taught the teacher should say from the get go that there is no biblical evidence of it being so.  I say unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved.

For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.  1 Timothy 2:5-7 (NKJV)

“There is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.”  “Whoever believes in” this same Jesus, according to the [Scriptures], is saved, and Jesus is [busy] mediating on their behalf.

God bless.

Just A Thought

When you [really] give thought to what Jesus accomplished in the first century, and choose to accept it for what it is, God’s plan of salvation in a nutshell, rejecting the Anthanasian Creed makes perfect sense.

There's Nothing Spotty About It

“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 precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard, “Our understanding of things will always be spotty.”  The speaker on the radio is a follower of 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.

There’s nothing “spotty” about the Anthanasian Creed my friends.  How it came to be in the first place is beyond comprehension but its believe it [or else] “you cannot be saved” false method of salvation is crystal clear.  It is available for all of us to see.   

“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 confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.  1 John 4:15 (NKJV)

“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.

Do you believe our understanding of “Whoever believes in” Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” will be saved, is “spotty”?  It is not crystal clear?  The Anthanasian Creed puts John 3:16 on trial.  Followers of that creed have a vested interest in the answer because they think they’re doing the right thing, by making “the Son is God.”  Let me tell you what 1 John 4:15 DOES NOT say, whoever confesses that Jesus is “the Son is God,” God abides in him, and he in God.

Whenever/wherever the [Bible] is used to teach God’s plan of salvation, listen for whether or not one has to believe the Anthanasian Creed to be saved.  If it’s according to the [Scriptures], they’ll be no mentioning of anything linked to the Anthanasian Creed in the message.  If it’s according to the [Scriptures] the [Bible] is used to teach on how to recognize, false doctrines.  The Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul.  Keep in mind, the doctrine of the trinity wouldn’t exist if not for the Anthanasian Creed.

The Anthanasian Creed stands alone, and totally depends on the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].  Don’t let sixteen hundred plus years of false teachings, trick you into believing the Anthanasian Creed.  What Jesus accomplished in the first century is far greater than, the Anthanasian Creed.

You fill in the blank spaces.  “Whoever confesses that Jesus is ___ ___ __ ___, God abides in him, and he in God.”  If it reads like this, “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God,” your understanding is not spotty. 

God bless.

Give Thanks

“We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.” Apostle Saul 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)

Whatever you give thanks to the all-knowing God of the [Bible] for such as, the birth of another Human Being, becoming a born again believer in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” or for having your needs met when all seemed lost, just to name a few, the Anthanasian Creed will have absolutely nothing to do with it. 

I have a hard time believing that the follower of the Anthanasian Creed wouldn’t believe this to be true, as well.

God bless.

False Systems of Beliefs

“That you may with one mind and with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 15:6 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who makes us kings and priests to His God and Father, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Revelation 1:6 (NKJV)

If you want to be intentional about telling people about Jesus, point them to the [Bible].  There’s a lot of silly “stuff” being taught these days but nothing has caused more people to turn from [Biblical] truths to false teachings, than the Anthanasian Creed.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6 (NKJV)

The one teaching the Anthanasian Creed as sound doctrine, and at the same time believing Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life,” should know that no one has to believe the doctrine of the trinity to be saved.  I hope the follower of the Anthanasian Creed knows the doctrine of the trinity was created by those not mentioned in the [Bible].  The fact they are not willing to admit to it being so, is where the problem lies.  In a word, pride.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to those attending earthly institutions called “church,” that there are people taking bits and pieces from the [Bible], to create false systems of beliefs.  It’ll be hard to find one [denomination] “church” not accusing another of heresy or worshipping false gods, while both claim to be teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in truth.  They’ll go as far as to identifying the source, or even the name of the individual responsible for turning others away from their system of belief.   

People are more than willing to stand up for what they believe.  I’m certainly not shy about telling others about Jesus, nor letting them know the Anthanasian Creed is the high priest of all false doctrines.  I trust God will make a way, so I won’t force anyone to believe as I do.

I’m not going to mentioning the names of those responsible for turning people away from [Biblical] truths, the battle is not against flesh and blood.  By now some names may come to mind.

If you’re following the teachings of one of those guilty of turning people away from [Biblical] truths, you might find yourself feeling uncomfortable at the thought of their name.

I love Jesus, and am not ashamed to tell others about Him.  I say the Anthanasian Creed is the source of your system of belief, if you’re attending a “church” that teaches unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved.  Understand that “church” is turning people away from, [Biblical] truths. 

The Anthanasian Creed condemns to hell’s fire those having passed prior to its birth in 325-AD, along with those that have chosen to reject it since.  Would you say the Anthanasian Creed, and thus the doctrine of the trinity, controls the eternal destination of everyone’s soul?  Past, present and future?  If you do, I hope now you see that you’re putting words in God’s mouth.

God bless.

It Will be Revealed by Fire

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. Hebrews 4:14 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who was given all authority in heaven and on earth, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. Matthew 28:18 (NKJV)

For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 (NKJV)

Let me empathize, “If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures” is referring to those building on what Jesus accomplished in the first century.  For those that are well aware of what Jesus accomplished, they “will” not “receive a reward” for those things they’ve either added to, or subtracted from, the [Bible].  Their “work is burned.”

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)

After reading John 20:17 who would you say “will receive a reward” for telling others that Jesus’ God and Father and their God and Father are one and the same?  The born again believer in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” that rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, or the one that is blind to the fact that the Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul?

As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I say both of these are saved. There is “no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”  The Anthanasian Creed, “because it will be revealed by fire,” adds on to God’s plan of salvation.

God bless.

The Anthanasian Creed is Not Biblical

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  1 John 5:5 (NKJV)

In the precious and beautiful name of the Faithful and True Witness, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.  Revelation 3:14 (NKJV)

Whenever/wherever the Anthanasian Creed is taught as sound doctrine, don’t expect the truth to be told.  According to the Anthanasian Creed, the [Biblical] Jesus has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul.

Then they said to Him, “Who are You?” And Jesus said to them, “Just as I have been saying to you from the beginning. I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.” They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father. John 8:25-27 (NKJV)

The [Biblical] Jesus is asked to answer a simple question, “Who are You?”  “Just as I have been saying to you from the beginning,” Jesus wants us to know who He is.  The [Bible] tells us everything we need to know, about Jesus.  The [Biblical] Jesus, is known for telling the truth.

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found Him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?” He answered and said; “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?” And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.” John 9:35-37 (NKJV)

Jesus is “It is He who is talking with you,” “the Son of God.”

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.  1 John 4:15 (NKJV)

The [Bible] is crystal clear concerning the matter, “Jesus is the Son of God.”  “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.”  It shows that the Anthanasian Creed is not [Biblical], having absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul.

We do not have to approach the Anthanasian Creed to be saved.  Why something so simple isn’t taught, today, is beyond comprehension.

God bless.
