Bible Question: In doing my study on the unity of the church I have found that there are differing opions on the essentials of the Christan faith. I would greatly like to hear from as many of you as possible on this subject. What are the essentials of the Christan Faith? In The Love Of Christ, tgc |
Bible Answer: tgc: Centuries ago two widely known creeds were hammered out by godly men. These creeds have not only stood the test of time but they have not, in my view, been improved upon to this day. From antiquity they come to us: The Apostles' Creed dates back to within a half century after the last books of the New Testament were written, and the Nicene Creed dates back to the fourth century A.D. Each contains the essentials of the Christian faith. I won't reproduce either here since they are readily accessible in prayer books and hymnals, and on-line access can be obtained by going to a search engine such as Google and typing in the names of the Creeds. --Hank |
