Amen and ditto to you DrJim. That a group of men could craft such statements of Truth. Clarity and succinctness. May the Lord bless us with a grand revival of understanding of the Creeds!
LSP, are you becoming orthodox? I haven't seen you wearing a beard but I'm sure it would suit you. MotherLSP might not appreciate the switch to the other team.
I see the ancient creeds as a litmus test. In talking to folks who say they are Christain, my question to them is whether they believe every. single. word. is true. If they say no, I believe them to be a heretic.
I just went and read the Nicene Creed, along with the Apostle's Creed, which I remembered almost word-for-word from my Catholic grade school days.
ReplyDeleteI believe every word of both of them. It's a powerful document, and I take it to heart.

ReplyDeleteGood to hear the actual Nicene creed without the papal filioque in it.

The priest was doing a heavy-duty baptism on that kid. That is a good thing. John would be proud.

ReplyDeletedrjim, that's exactly right. I don't know much but I do know the Creeds, and they are true.
ReplyDeleteThe Martyr Council, Prodigal, was guided by the Spirit. No kidding.
ReplyDeleteThe Creed is always good, Anon.
