The Apostles Creed is a fine summary of the basics of our faith.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic* church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
The main problem I see with the Creed is that it leaves out a statement concerning the very foundation upon which the Creed is based on...the Scriptures themselves! Thoughts?
Exactly. I would offer I think the main problem is the use word apostolic some use as if truth comes from the feet of dying apostles as sent messengers rather than by what they are sent with the living words of the message sent from the unseen head, Christ .
Sort of like stage coach robbers . . . . robbing the messages (mail) Or given a understanding coming one local malmail 's word he writes , as if he was Christ . Like Charles Mansion for neighborhood mail man or Jim Jones . Sent one. . . not highly venerable ones
Killing the messengers (apostles) does not make the messages void.
Its one of those Greek words that should of been given the English translation (sent messenger) not highly venerable puffed up ones.
A wile of the devil, the seed snatcher taking away our invisible head that works in all believer . Faith does come from the believers as sent ones they are powerless of thier own self .Yoked with Emanuel the daily burden can be lighter with a hope beyond the grave
No such thing as apostolic succession , apostolic church, apostolic time period , apostolic whatsoever .
Using Apostle as a fake word. The unbelievers ,changed adding new meaning) from "sent ones" to Highly Venerable, Puffed Ones". Ones that lord it over the understanding (faith) of the non-venerable pew warmers or show watchers . . . taking away the authority of sola scriptura ,the living abiding sword of the Spirit . attempting to take away the promises of Emmanuel to work in us with us . . .all the days of life. . .nothing could move that promise
In that way one fake word apostle (changed meaning) can cause much confusion violating the law not to add or subtract from the whole.
One fake word can change all the loving commandments. same kind of warning at the end of the book of prophecy the Bible both as two witnesses working as one perfect t protect the whole from I call spiritual; plagiarism . Revelation remains the last chapter or book.
The law of the Holy Spirit protecting the integrity of his living word from what I would call spiritual plagiarism . The father of lies . "surely you will not die look at my beatify and live forever " therefore adding to the word (sola scriptura) mankind died
Deuteronomy 4King James Version Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you.
Ye shall not add unto the word (single) which I command you, neither shall ye
diminish ought from
it,(single) that ye may keep the
commandments (plural) of the
Lord your God which I command you.
John 14: 25-26 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the
Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things
to your remembrance, whatsoever
I have said unto
you.
The integrity of the living word it defends us lovingly warning us of those what say we do need dying venerated mankind to teach as
if his living word has no power to perform its living promises .
Believer should be careful how we hear ,what we hear ,who we hear many false apostles false prophets today
