Where Does That Leave You?

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) In what way would Jesus’ God and Father and Jesus’ brethren’s God and Father, not be one and the same? With Jesus saying “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God” in John 20:17, there is no way. When you give thought to what Jesus accomplished in the first century, as laid out for us in the Scriptures, then it makes perfect sense to depend on this same Jesus for your salvation. According to the Anthanasian Creeds, unless one believes “the Son is God” one “cannot be saved” false method of salvation, Jesus couldn’t have ascended to His God, and Father. It is Biblically impossible for the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” and the Son of God “Jesus” to be one and the same. If you get Jesus wrong, where does that leave you?

Every Knee Shall Bow

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) For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” Romans 14:11 (NKJV) Taking “every tongue shall confess to God” in Romans 14:11 one step further, as laid out for us in the Scriptures, “every tongue shall confess to” Jesus’ God, and Father (John 20:17). Jesus said, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.”

Believers Needn't Be Concerned

Believers in Christ Jesus needn’t be concerned about God’s plan of salvation, as laid out for us in the Bible. Unfortunately, the Anthanasian Creeds false method of salvation presents a serious problem for its followers. The Anthanasian Creeds, unless one believes “the Son is God” one “cannot be saved,” is pointless, whether you believe Jesus is the Son of God, that is saved according to the Scriptures, or not. The Bible doesn’t support [unless one believes “the Son is God” one “cannot be saved”]. The doctrine of the trinity is the high priest of all false doctrines, because it clearly adds onto God’s plan of salvation. “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. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe in Him is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:16-18 (NKJV) “Whoever believes in Him,” Jesus, “should not perish but have everlasting life.”

Be Very Sure

Scripturally speaking, you’ll find that nothing is consistent when teaching the doctrine of the trinity as a guide to salvation. “He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.” Revelation 3:12 (NKJV) If you think the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” and the Biblical Jesus are one and the same, think again. When you look closely at Revelation 3:12 you will see Jesus calls the all-knowing God of the Bible, His God, four times. Be very sure, that your commitment is to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

So, Overcome The World

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) An ideology can be a false doctrine if it does not present a Biblical view of who Jesus is. Anyone can say “the Son is God” but at the same time they should know, it’s not a Biblical view of who Jesus is. Is the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” proof that Jesus’ God and Father and Jesus’ brethren’s God and Father [are not] one and the same? Absolutely not! John 20:17 clearly shows that they are indeed the same. If they were not, it would be the greatest deception of all time, and the Bible would imply Jesus is a liar. 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 rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is saved? When I say rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether I mean, treat the Anthanasian Creed as if it never existed at all. As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I would say the person is saved. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:5 (NKJV) So, overcome the world, with all its false teachings, believe Jesus is the Son of God, and be saved.

The Doctrines Of Men Aren't Trustworthy

And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. John 20:30-31 (NKJV) While listening to the local “Christian” radio station, I heard, “Jesus always tells the truth, because He is the God who cannot lie.” I agree that Jesus always tells the truth, but not with the speaker’s reason. For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.” John 12:49-50 (NKJV) Jesus said, “Just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.” The Bible also tells us that God cannot lie. The issue with the speaker’s reasoning is that Jesus is the Son of God, not God. 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) In John 20:17, Jesus ascending to His God and Father, and to Jesus’ brethren’s God and Father, is the point. If one believes “the Son is God” then this could not be true. Jesus could not be telling the truth. It would be the greatest deception of all time, if the Bible were to label Jesus a liar. Unlike John’s account of who Jesus is in John 20:30-31, “the Christ, the Son of God,” and what “Jesus said” in John 20:17, the doctrines of men aren’t trustworthy. If not for the birth of the Anthanasian Creed in 325-AD, unless one believes “the Son is God” one “cannot be saved” wouldn’t be an issue at all. God bless. In His Care… Jim
