Creeds weren't in the Bible? NASB 1 Timothy 3:16 By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory. AMPLIFIED 1 Timothy 3:16 And great and important and weighty, we confess, is the hidden truth (the mystic secret) of godliness. He [God] was made visible in human flesh, justified and vindicated in the [Holy] Spirit, was seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, [and] taken up in glory. --Radioman2 |

Darcy - Perhaps this will help. The word "creed" comes from the Latin "credere" which simply means "to believe." "Credo," is the first word in the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds, as they first appeared in the Latin language), and means "I believe." So when one says, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God," the words become in actuality a creed, a statement of faith. There is a denomination that says, "We have no creed but Christ." But even in saying this, they state their creed. They have stated what they believe, and that's all a creed is. But that is all a creed is. It is not Scripture and to the extent that it contradicts Scripture in any way, it is worthless...... My communion, SBC, does not impose authorative creeds upon its communicants and, unless I am much mistaken, neither does yours. But both have issued statements of faith, a set of fundamental beliefs and guiding principles which are common to at least the majority of members of both communions. But, unlike some communions, these creeds, or sets of fundamental beliefs, in your communion and mine are statements of belief by which members are not bound, and they are not liturgical, i.e., they do not constitute a rite prescribed for public worship. I don't know whether I've shed more light for you or darkened your window, but I do hope it helps somewhat. --Hank | ||||||

Okay I have a creed I guess but I don't expect anyone to actually believe it. If they do thats fine if not thats fine to. I would much rather have someone disagree with me and have a legitment reason to. That way I can learn. You have a group of people that believe in the exact some things like and Entire 15 page creed how do you learn from each other? Creeds if used the right way might be ok. The problem is this is not a Bible loving world including the churches. You can have a consert and everyone and there dogs show up. Have a Bible study totally different story. If that is the case you have so many people in the churches who believe in something but have no idea why or how to defend that belief. I see that all the time. I'll give you an example. We all believe in Hell right? And it is eternal. But I can garantee that most people don't know why they believe it. Especally when faced with a JW I did that one time and said there is a hell. I paid the price that day. To this day I still won't mention the hell doctrine to them. Most time they can pick you up of the floor once they are done. Its a tough doctrine to prove. And so many people don't know how to prove it except the word hell is in the Bible. I try not to make that mistake anymore I try to make sure why I believe in what I do. Alot of people today don't they just know it because its in there creed or someone told them. In Christ, Darcy |
