Bible Answer: Brian, since you specifically requested my comments on the 12-point profession of faith, for which I thank you, I'm happy to oblige, though you won't be much impressed, I dare say, by my scant remarks. I recognize what you posted as being essentially the Apostles' Creed dressed up in a new suit of more modern words and diction than the one I learned some 40 years ago. I believe it did justice to the faith then and does justice still. It was hammered out long ago with painstaking care by devout men who wanted to get it right. I believe they did. --Hank |
