1 | What do we believe? | Jude 1:3 | Aixen7z4 | 117122 | ||
A great document! One can only imagine the amount of work that went into creating it and in obtaining agreement on the wording of it. This version is special because it includes those references. I counted 44 items and could only question two. One seems unnecessary (except perhaps for reasons of political correctness) and one is taken as a misconstruction of the reference. The rest seem to be solid Bible. One can understand why "The Nicean Creed is the most widely accepted and used brief statements of the Christian Faith". I understand that, it is said in liturgical churches every Sunday. "It is Common Ground to East Orthodox, Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans, Calvinists, and many other Christian groups. Many groups that do not have a tradition of using it in their services nevertheless are committed to the doctrines it teaches". It clearly serves a useful purpose in focusing on and clarifying many issues. |

2 | What do we believe? | Jude 1:3 | kalos | 117124 | ||
You write: "I counted 44 items and could only question two. One seems unnecessary (except perhaps for reasons of political correctness)..." You are not seriously suggesting that in 325 A.D. those who wrote the Nicean Creed were concerned about political correctness, are you? ____________________ anachronism '1 : an error in chronology; especially : a chronological misplacing of persons, events, objects, or customs in regard to each other 2 : a person or a thing that is chronologically out of place;' (www.m-w.com) |

O, I don't know, kalos. Perheps you can tell why it was important to point out the role of Pontius Pilate. | ||||||
4 | What do we believe? | Jude 1:3 | Arnold | 117133 | ||
Why does the Creed say "he was crucified under Pontius Pilate"? It ties the story of Jesus down to a specific time in history; thus, it is not mythological. But that reminds me of the little boy who was asked to recite the Creed. He said, "I believe . . . in Pontius Pilate"! |
