Apostles Creed The Apostles Creed is a description of the basic principles of Christian Faith. There are theologians that believe that those principles were written by the original twelve Apostles on the tenth day following the ascension of Christ into heaven. Other theories teach that the Creed was in fact developed later, in A.D. 215. In its original form, the document was used and recited during baptismal ceremonies for the churches of Rome. It became to be known as the Roman Symbol, and displayed in a question and answer format, with believers affirming their acceptance of the Creed. The authorship of the creed has been discussed by theologians and debated for centuries. While it did not originate within the Catholic Church, many scholars agree that the Statement of faith developed as a baptismal confession of faith, which continues to be used in most Western churches.

63 | Creeds and Confessions Needful? | Bible general Archive 4 | hopalong | 205885 | ||
Many churches have traditional practices, such as a particular patterns of services. In Protestant churches, where the Bible is usually the final arbiter of doctrine, any story or belief not found therein is considered tradition, and not part of doctrine. In the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches the Sacred Tradition of the church may be considered doctrine.9 In the Bible, the traditions of men is sometimes contrasted with the word of God. For example, Jesus told the Pharisees, "You revoke God's word by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many other similar things" (Mark 7:13). (wikipedia) |

Dear lady, why are you now bringing up TRADITION, which is a seperate subject altogether. Getting back to your initial inquiry...see AA Hodge "1. Why are Creeds and Confessions necessary, and how have they been produced? The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament having been given by inspiration of God, are for man in his present state the only and the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice. This divine word, therefore, is the only standard of doctrine which has any intrinsic authority binding the consciences of men. All other standards are of value or authority only as they teach what the Scriptures teach." |

Dear John, No need to to apologize my friend. You made a good point, which is that the pews are populated with many who think that they are saved, but, are in reality, dead in sin. It is a shame that so many churches neglect the Gospel of Christ in favor of a gopel of self of self improvement. They assume that because their members walked an aisle and prayed a prayer and were baptized, that now the preacher is free to preach to them how to be a better christion. If you have the time listen to a sermon by Southern Baptist preacher....Paul Washer. IT' SON YOU TUBE God bless John I gotta hopalong |

Dear John, the Q posed :Question (short): Make a Decision Question (full): Is this verse in essence, a call to Salvation, spoken by JESUS? From the other verses 14-19 it sounds like he's saying, choose this day whom you will serve! Make a decision. I belive it is a call for repentance and re-newed fellowship. Personally, I would not enmploy it as part of my evangelical efforts. Hoppy |

70 | An interesting discussion/question | Romans | hopalong | 205264 | ||
Hi Tim, Sorry, but I'm having a hard time following your train of thought. you began with Rom. 5:18 - "Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men." I replied by stating that my reading of the text led me to believe that "all" reffered to all kinds of men, since not all men (universily) are justified. That only those men who are in Christ have attained justification. I suggest that our presuppositions may make it difficult to reconcile this issue. Hoppy |

Tim, Your primary contention seem to be..."So, I would respectfully disagree that 'all' only refers to kinds of men." How then do we avoid the false doctrine of univeral salvation? Hoppy |

Tim, "all men" often means all "kinds" of men. Given the fact that not all men are justified, I am strongly inclined to the latter definition. Hoppy |

Matt 1:21 "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." my reading of Matt 1:21 leads me to rejoice in the gospel! It glorifies Jesus by declaring that Our Lord's mission from the Father will be be accomplished perfectly... I reject the idea that His mission on Earth was less than 100 percent successful. John 6:63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. Hoppy Hi Tim, |

78 | Theological Term: Predestination | Eph 1:5 | hopalong | 204721 | ||
Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God." (Acts 20:26,27 KJV). Dear Searcher, I belive that your objection has some validity to it. However, it seems to me, that a strict rule which forbids discussion of litgitmate doctrines may be likened to "throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Would it not be better to chasten those who are offensive rather than banning great chunks of God's Holy Word? Just a suggestion. Hoppy |

79 | alcohol scripturally wrong? | Eph 5:18 | hopalong | 203763 | ||
Dear Hank, Though we disagree ,I do appreciate your for your thoughts on our topic. I believe that we are in ageement that overindulgence (alcohol, tobacco products etc.) may lead to serious medical problems. I am certain that those who abuse God's gifts will suffer for their rebellious refusal to heed His laws. Alcoholism is NOT a disease, It is abondage to sin. No where in the Bible does God condemn men to Hell for having a physical disease...Gluttony is a sin, are we to ban meat and bread and allow only veggies? My plea is for moderation in all things beit beer, wine,bread, or meat. I pray that I will never relinquish the freedom that Christ gave me as a child of God. Alcohol is not evil...but those who willingly twist God's commands and abuse His statutes will be undone in the end. Hoppy (a some what unfortunate user name for the Topic under discussion(:- ) |
