The Apostles Creed Missing Ingredient?

[prism]

Eph 4:14 so that we may no longer be infants, tossed by waves and swept along by every wind of teaching arising from human trickery, from their cunning in the interests of deceitful scheming.

Yes, because...

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, [2] speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, [3] forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.1 Timothy 4:1-3 NKJV

 

[Arch Stanton]

Yep. . .that's us, the body of Christ.

I didn't know you were Catholic.

 

[Arch Stanton]

the context of that passage is prophecy and false teachers

Indeed! False teachers after Christ's Catholic Church.

 

[Arch Stanton]

Yes, because...

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith

Indeed! Why did you depart from the original Church; the original faith?

 

[Eleanor]

I didn't know you were Catholic.

Neither did I.

How 'bout them apples!

Indeed! Why did you depart from the original Church; the original faith?

Because the one who touts itself as the original Church abandoned the original writings of the Apostles and Prophets.

The original church is the body of Christ, those of faith in Christ.

The original faith is the faith of the NT Scriptures.

Have you read John Kennedy’s ‘Torch of the Testimony’?
It is a very encouraging and somewhat unique look at the history of the Church.
I suggest it for everyone.

Those original Apostles were/are Catholic though.

I have not read it but I have read 'History of the Catholic Church' by James Hitchcock and 'The Cleaving of Christendom' series by Warren H. Carroll.

Yes, the church throughout that St. Peter made his rounds to.

The original faith is the faith of the NT Scriptures.

The original faith came centuries before the book Eleanor.

It’s much more broad than the Church of Rome. Check it out. Google will pull it up.
It will affect your perspective on many things.

Not "centuries" before the letters and gospels.

And any that "came before" which are not in agreement with the NT writings are in error.

Wasn't he a friend of Spurgeon?

Nope…he was born in Britain but moved to India and ministered to indigenous Indians until his death. The book was first published in 1964.

I looked up the biography of the Scotsman and it says he was a friend of Spurgeon... was it a different Kennedy? Thanks

Yes….Spurgeon died in 1892 and John W. Kennedy moved to India 1952, so doubtful.

"But James eventually came to occupy a position which was much more than this. From being first among equals, he became first pure and simple." Kennedy

Looks like he gives no hierarchical authority to Peter.

The gospel came first.
