creeds

So creeds are just basically something we say mindlessly because that's what our pastor said. I know that's what you are NOT saying.

I'll be gone for most of the rest of the day for a community thanksgiving dinner we're doing. So please talk kindly about me while I'm gone. :smilewinkgrin:

 

Okay. Take a breath. Look at what I said. I said as a treatise on Christian theology it is disorganized. The Book of Matthew is organized. So is each individual book. And there is a scheme to the arrangement of the books in the Bible.

But . . .

If you were to write a paper on the Trinity, or on the Holy Spirit, or on Christ, or on Baptism, Repentance, Faith, etc. there is no one book or chapter you could go to for a complete or really concise answer. These subjects are in bits and pieces throughout all of Scripture.

You're welcome.

Seriously . . . ? I mean where in the kingdom of spuds did you come up with this?

 

That all depends on the price of rice in China.

 

exactly this is why churches aproach creeds with knit gloves.

 

Aaron, you're right, I misread what you wrote. I was wrong about what you said and I am sorry.

I still disagree about creeds. I still think the best way to teach both new and mature believers is thru a solid exposition of the Bible not a creed that is very much tied to the time in which it was written. But the Scripture as unsystematic as you may believe it to be about doctrinal issues - and I disagree about your characterization - is still the best and only inerrant way of dealing with the wrong doctrinal issues we face today.
