Subject: What are the essentials |
Bible Note: Mommapbs: Clearly the mere recitation of creeds falls within the category of "vain repititions" that our Lord condemned regarding prayer (see Matthew 6:7). And, in reference to your implied question concerning the teaching role of the church, I would say that no amount of recitation of creeds fulfills, or becomes an adequate substitute for, the church's obligation to preach the gospel of Christ. --Hank |
