The Follower of The Anthanasian Creed

“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.

First and foremost, followers of the Anthanasian Creed can [only] be traced back to 325-AD when the Anthanasian Creed became doctrine of the Catholic Church.  They have been trusting what has been handed down to them by other followers ever since.

They point people to the cross, but go beyond the [Bible].  Behind their teaching is the unsupported theory that unless one believes the Anthanasian Creed, and thus the doctrine of the trinity, one cannot be saved.

They fail to see the significance of the words “the Son is God” not being in the [Bible].  Proving that if it wasn’t for the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible], the Anthanasian Creed wouldn’t have made its way into the twenty first century. 

When followers of the Anthanasian Creed claim they are preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in truth, don’t trust their word, and instead rely on God’s word.  Nothing has caused more people to turn from [Biblical] truths to false teachings, than the Anthanasian Creed.

Could the follower of the Anthanasian Creed be saved?  Yes, if they accepted what Jesus accomplished in the first century they are saved according to the [Scriptures].  But are they misleading people with their teaching?  Yes.

God bless.

You Can't Blame The Bible

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

I heard it from a follower of the Anthanasian Creed that if you get Jesus wrong, then you’re not saved.  Nothing says the Anthanasian Creeds way is better than God’s plan of salvation, than the Anthanasian Creed itself.  

I say if you get the Anthanasian Creed wrong, by believing it is sound doctrine, you’ll say people are not saved when nothing could be further from the truth.  The Anthanasian Creed is the root [source] of many false teachings concerning the [Biblical] Jesus who is the Son of God.  It has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul.

Would you say the person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, saved according to the [Scriptures], and rejecting the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is saved?

As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I say the person is saved.  If you get Jesus wrong, you can’t blame the [Bible].  The person rejecting what Jesus accomplished in the first century, which is available for all to see in the [Bible], is not saved.

God bless.

Is It Difficult To Unlearn?

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.

Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” So He said to them, “When you pray say: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”  Luke 11:1-4 (NKJV)

I have heard that it’s difficult to unlearn things.  Actually, I heard it from a follower of the Anthanasian Creed.  I wonder how hard it would be to unlearn the Anthanasian Creed for a follower of it.  I don’t know what caused this individual to say this but, “Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” was my first thought after hearing it.  This generated in me so many thoughts.

Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.  1 Corinthians 15:28 (NKJV)

“And has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” Revelation 1:6 (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)

Here are a few of them.

“The Son Himself,” Jesus, “will also be subject to” God. 

Jesus “has made” those that believe in Him, “kings and priests to His God and Father.”

Those that will “be subject to” God, Jesus’ “brethren” and “the Son Himself” Jesus, have the same God and Father.  “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.”

The question becomes, when did it become so easy to not see Jesus as taking our place on the cross, because the Anthanasian Creed [clearly] says what Jesus accomplished in the first century isn’t enough?  Do you confess Jesus is the Son of God, saved according to the [Scriptures], and see Jesus as dying for your sins on the cross?  If so, you are saved.  One can’t be more saved, than when they [first] believed in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” according to the [Scriptures], yet according to the Anthanasian Creed no one is saved unless they believe the Anthanasian Creed.  As it is on earth it better be in heaven, is the Anthanasian Creed in a nutshell.

Know the word of God especially concerning your salvation, and don’t second guess what Jesus accomplished in the first century.  If you are open to anything that comes along, things like the Anthanasian Creed, will lead you astray.

How difficult would it be to unlearn things like the Anthanasian Creed, or other false doctrines?  You’ll find it’s easier to identify and then reject them, than it is to [defend] keep them up and running.  You must keep your eyes on that which Jesus accomplished in the first century.

People can say/believe whatever they like but if they’re not willing to confess that Jesus is the Son of God, saved according to the [Scriptures], don’t be fooled by what they have to offer.  As it will be with the Anthanasian Creed, any attempt to add to or subtract from that which Jesus accomplished in the first century will fail.  This from someone who unlearned the Anthanasian Creed.  It’s a beautiful thing.

The word of God enduring forever.

God bless.

The Means by Which One Comes to The Father

“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 name of Him who was given authority over all flesh, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. See John 17:2 (NKJV)

Picture yourself as one of many sitting in a church, on a Sunday morning, and where the Anthanasian Creed is taught as sound doctrine.  With a copy of the Anthanasian Creed in one hand and a [Bible] in the other, a guest speaker walks up to and stands behind the podium.  To the right of the podium, a trash bucket.

After placing both the copy of the Anthanasian Creed and the [Bible] on the podium, the speaker then lifts the Anthanasian Creed up for all to see, saying, while crumbling the single piece of paper into a small ball, “This is what I think about the Anthanasian Creed.”  The speaker then throws the copy of the Anthanasian Creed into the trash bucket.

The speaker lifts the [Bible] up for all to see, saying, “This is the word of God and you won’t find in it, unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved.”

At this point in the message would you begin to question whether or not the speaker should be there?

If throwing the single piece of paper in the trash bucket did not raise any red flags for you, then there’s a good chance you haven’t heard about the events that took place in 325-AD.  If what the speaker had to say about the [Bible] caused you to question the speaker’s beliefs, then you’re blind to the fact that if not for the Anthanasian Creed the doctrine of the trinity wouldn’t exist at all.

“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.

“This is the catholic (Christian) faith; which except you believe faithfully and firmly, you cannot be saved.”  - Last sentence of the Anthanasian Creed.

I reject the Anthanasian Creed altogether but at the same time I can’t deny, followers of that creed can teach the [Scriptures] correctly.  The non-scriptural teachings begin the moment one attempts to link the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” to the [Biblical] Jesus, who is the Son of God.  I can safely say the events that took place in 325-AD, specifically the Anthanasian Creed becoming doctrine of the Catholic Church, birthed “you cannot be saved” a false method of salvation which is replacement theology.

While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I heard a speaker talking about problems in churches and their answer was, “You want to straighten your church out, sound doctrine.”  The speaker on the radio is a follower of 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) 

Referring to the speaker’s use of the words “straighten your church out,” I would say the speaker fails to recognize the problem here.  As a follower of the Anthanasian Creed the speaker is promoting a doctrine that is not sound.  John 14:6 is trustworthy.  For obvious reasons the Anthanasian Creed is not sound doctrine.  From the person that got saved just prior to them taking their last breath on earth, to the next one to believe in Jesus according to the [Scriptures], the Anthanasian Creed will never be the means by which “one comes to the Father.”

Who is it helping, when one says the Anthanasian Creed is sound doctrine?  It not only condemns to hell’s fire those that have chosen to reject it for themselves, it also condemns those that didn’t live to tell about it.

Don’t confuse the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible] for [Biblical] truths, things like the Anthanasian Creed will surface if you do.    

God’s plan of salvation is available for all to see in the [Bible] and accepting it, and believing in Jesus according to the [Scriptures], is the beginning of one’s journey to the kingdom of God.  With that said I will not cease from exposing the Anthanasian Creed for what it is, false doctrine.

God bless.

Once Saved Always Saved

“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.  See Acts 4:12 (NKJV)

With the last entry of the New Testament occurring near the end of the first century, it is safe to say that the [Bible] doesn’t tell us to respect the Anthanasian Creed in any way, shape or form.  The Anthanasian Creeds having to believe [or else] false “method of salvation,” is [directly] linked to those not mentioned in the [Bible].  They should not be treated as defenders of [Biblical] truths.  Could they be saved?  Yes, if they accepted what Jesus accomplished in the first century they are saved according to the [Scriptures].  Unfortunately, sixteen hundred plus years of false teachings [directly] linked to the Anthanasian Creed, saying, unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved, has fostered things about Jesus that just aren’t true.

One can say we should trust the word of God but if we’re clinging to the Anthanasian Creed, we’re not trusting the word of God.  In an attempt to have authority over the salvation of one’s soul, man had reduced the [Bible] to mere commentary.  This is the Anthanasian Creed in a nutshell.

Have you heard the phrase once saved always saved?  Well it’s true, but only if everything was done according to the [Scriptures].  The Anthanasian Creed says the salvation of one’s soul has absolutely nothing to do with [Biblical] truths.  Simply, the Anthanasian Creed [supersedes] God’s plan of salvation which has been clearly laid out for us in the [Bible].

Any attempt to build a bridge between God’s plan of salvation and the Anthanasian Creeds [false] “method of salvation,” will be blocked by [Biblical] truths.

Here’s the way I see things, in a world bent on silencing [Biblical] truths.  I respect people’s right to believe whatever they wish when it comes to their eternal destiny, but the [Bible] will have the final say.  This includes those that have chosen to believe the Anthanasian Creed.

Would you say the person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, [saved according to the Scriptures], and rejecting the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is saved?

I hope that you see that the person is saved.  To say the person is not saved, says the Anthanasian Creed [supersedes] God’s plan of salvation.  The [Bible] points us to that which Jesus the Son of God, accomplished in the first century.  The words “The Son is God” aren’t in the [Bible].  They wouldn’t exist at all, if not for the Anthanasian Creed.  Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” is 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 Anthanasian Creed shouldn’t have made its way into the twenty first century.  What do we [really] know about the Anthanasian Creed?  Simple research will tell you that it was birthed well after the last entry of the New Testament, and has no basis in the [Bible].  It adds onto that which Jesus accomplished in the first century.  The truth of the matter is, followers of the Anthanasian Creed have been trusting that which has been handed down to them by other followers.  They’ll talk about how it made its way into the twenty first century, but it’ll be based on the teachings of those that have chosen to believe it for themselves.  It’s a society of people that can only be traced back to 325-AD, when the Anthanasian Creed was birthed.  As with all of us today, not a single one of them has the authority to alter [Scripture].

It is your eternal destiny at stake here, and it is your choice.  Trust in the [Bible] and confess that Jesus is the Son of God and you will be saved.

God bless.

Choose Wisely

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.” Ephesians 1:3 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who did not come to destroy but to fulfill, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. See Matthew 5:17-18 (NKJV)

The [Bible] not only gives us every reason to believe in Jesus, according to the [Scriptures], it supports your ability to accept or reject it.  As one who trust the [Bible] to show me the difference between God’s plan of salvation and man’s understanding of it, I reject the Anthanasian Creed altogether.

“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)

When the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached in truth, you better believe the all-knowing God of the [Bible] is behind it, and “Whoever believes in” Jesus will be saved.  When the gospel of Jesus Christ is treated as hearsay, which is to say the cross will never be enough, it can be traced back to the Anthanasian Creed.

From those responsible for the Anthanasian Creed, to the one’s hearing about it for the very first time, teaching the Anthanasian Creed as sound doctrine is to say the cross will never be enough.

How do you know “the Son is God” exists?  That unless one believes the doctrine of the trinity one cannot be saved?  There’s only one answer to those questions, if you’re interested in preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in truth.

The questions themselves wouldn’t exist if not for the Anthanasian Creed, which basically says the one who believes in Jesus according to the [Scriptures] isn’t saved. 

The Anthanasian Creed shouldn’t have made its way into the twenty first century.  It adds onto that which Jesus accomplished in the first century. 

It’s no secret, that people frequently accuse others of what they’re [actually] guilty of doing themselves.  Rejecting God’s plan of salvation is common practice these days as well.  Quoting absolute truths, taken straight from the [Bible], is treated as hate speech.  One would think those attending earthly institutions called “church” are excluded, when nothing could be further from the truth.

If they’ve chosen to believe the Anthanasian Creed, and teach it as sound doctrine, they’re relying on the wrong thing.  The Anthanasian Creed wouldn’t exist at all, and thus the doctrine of the trinity, if not for the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible].

The gospel of Jesus Christ is meant for all peoples, and points them to that which Jesus accomplished in the first century.

The gospel message is easy to understand.  It doesn’t matter where one has been, what they’ve said or done, to the point of rejecting God’s plan of salvation altogether.  For them to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ being preached in truth is to know [exactly] why “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,” Jesus died on a cross for them.  The choice of having to believe in Jesus or not still has to be made, for salvation, but the Anthanasian Creed should not play a role in the decision making process.  It doesn’t matter when, where, or how the Anthanasian Creed is taught, it’ll never be supported by the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Choose wisely.

God bless.
