Synthesis of faith in God and in his Christ (Anointed One)

Statement of faith


Here is a brief synthesis of what emerges from the Bible, in order to better understand the above:

1. There is only one Creator of the Universe, also called God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the creator of heaven and earth, the indisputable sovereign of the entire Universe, the Almighty (Exodus 20:1,2, John 17:1-3, Revelation 1:8). He is called Yehowah, which means "He who was, who is, and who will be" (see Exodus 3:13-16 in Hebrew). The Holy Spirit is his power and his intellect (Isaiah 11:2, Acts 1:8), which is why those who challenge this evidence will not be forgiven either in this age or in the next - that is, the Messianic Millennium: Matthew 12:32.

2. Jesus Christ in Hebrew Yeshua HaMashiach, is the only-begotten Son of God (John ch. 1), invested (anointed) as King, Lord, Savior, High Priest and Judge (Messiah in Hebrew and Christos in Greek mean "Anointed" of God; note that the first letter of the word "christos" begins with the letter "chi (X)" and not with the letter "h (I)" (Hebrews 1:1-4, Revelation 5:1-14, Revelation 20:6)

3. Jesus, the only-begotten Son of God came from heaven to be born as a perfect and sinless man, to be a perfect sacrifice, as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29, 3:13). He came to call us to repentance. Repentance means to feel sorry for our sinful life and to renew our life by the transformation of character, which is done by the renewing of the mind, by the Word of God (John 3:5,7, Ephesians 5:26,27, 1Thessalonians 2:13, 1Peter 1:23, 1John 2:5). The Lord Jesus saved us by giving his life as a ransom for us (Matthew 4:17, John 6:38-51), therefore he is the Lord of (eternal) life (Acts 3:15). For all this he was put above all and was given by God the Father all authority in heaven and on earth, being second in authority after his Father (Matthew 28:18,19), as he always was, like the Archangel Michael. For this comparative study see the book of the prophet Daniel and the commentaries of John Calvin or Spurgeon, compared to the rabbinical ones of the 3rd-1st century BC, Ben Sira, Philo and the movement of Jewish hermits mentioned by the Iranian historian of religions Al-Shahrastani (1086–1153 CE), also known as Muhammad al-Shahrastānī, was an influential Persian historian of religions, historiographer, Islamic scholar, philosopher, and theologian. His book, Kitab al-Milal wa al-Nihal (lit. Book of Sects and Creeds) was one of the pioneers in developing an objective and philosophical approach to the study of religions.

4. Whoever does not want to be saved while he is alive, loses this opportunity forever (great attention!) (Revelation 20:11-15). After death, no one can improve, but lies in a deathlike sleep until the resurrection and judgment (Daniel 12:2, Revelation 20).

5. Satan was third in heavenly rank after the Father and the Son, being a high-ranking angel (cherub), who rebelled against the Creator, wanting to dethrone Him and enthrone his own rule in the Universe (Ezekiel 28:11-19), considering it better and luring a third of the angels to support him (Revelation 12:4). He did not attack the second position in heaven (the Son), but the very first position of authority, that of the Father. The word Satan means enemy of God, and the word Devil means slanderer of God.

6. Despite God’s warning, Satan the Devil introduced sin into existence and because of this he is responsible for all the sins that have been committed (John 8:44, Revelation 12:9), not God.

7. The congregation (church) is called to be the bride of the Son of God and a joint heir of the glory of the Son (1 Corinthians 6:1-3, Revelation 21:9-27). Jesus Christ is “all in all” in Assembly, a unique model in the relationship between a master and a disciple (Colossians 3:11). For the Assembly he is the way, the truth and the life that leads to God the Father (John 14:6). After the ascension of the Assembly to heaven, the world is called to obedience and a great multitude will obey and survive the cataclysmic plagues, and those who did not obey will perish in them (see the plagues in the book of Revelation).

8. God will re-establish his kingdom on earth through his Son, who after preparing it according to God's will, destroying all opposition and enemy, will hand over all authority to his Father, so that God the Father may be all in all (1 Corinthians 15:20-28).

9. This Messianic Kingdom with Bride and Bride will rule from heaven the world on earth, for a thousand years, to a happy final destiny, for those who will obey (see Revelation chapter 20). The purpose of this kingdom is to abolish through love, wisdom, justice and force the disobedience to God introduced by Satan and diabolically perfected for 6000 years (Revelation 15.3, Romans 16:20, Revelation 2:27, Revelation 12:5).

10. 10. The great controversy between God and Satan will end at the end of the thousand years when God himself will dwell with men on earth, as a guarantee that the old will never be repeated (Revelation chapter 21). God will be ALL IN ALL, everywhere (1 Corinthians 15:28).
