1 | Sola Scriptura-A False teaching | 2 Tim 3:16 | Emmaus | 94434 | ||
gbennett, A creed is nothing more than saying what you believe. Do you perceive being asked what you believe as a prelude to an attack? It is good to know where someone is coming from. Is that too much to ask? I am often a lone voice for the positions I take on this forum. That does not mean I want to attack you or anyone else, nor does everyone else attack me. But most of us here at least are open and clear about what perspective we are are coming from and where we stand in our major beliefs and what we hold as sources of authority. And most if not all here hold Scripture to authoritative and most, myself being an exception, hold it to be the sole authority. Most people are proud or at least willing to state what they believe is the truth and why. How about you? Emmaus |

2 | Sola Scriptura-A False teaching | 2 Tim 3:16 | gbennett76 | 94456 | ||
My Creed Part 3-Man Man Man was a pre-existent spirit. Our origin is that we are procreated children of God, born as spirits in some other realm. In that spirit world existence we progressed as far as was possible, but to become truly like our Heavenly Father we needed to obtain physical bodies. We also needed to learn the difference between good and evil. Since our Heavenly Father has progressed so far that He cannot allow evil into His presence, it was necessary for us to leave Him for some place where we could encounter and overcome evil ourselves. We would be expected to accept the grace of the cross, gain knowledge, educate ourselves, train ourselves. We were to control our urges and desires, master and control our passions, and overcome our weaknesses, small and large through prayer and faith. We were to strive eliminate sins of omission and of commission, and to follow the laws and commandments given us by our Father contained in the gospels. |
