Because God didn't put that stuff in there.

Apparently, He didn't find it necessary. However, religious men had to
correct Him! :-).

They didn't need a creed when everyone believed the same thing. Only
when jerk-offs came around and started to make up crap did they decide
that one was needed for minimum requirements to join the club.

Yowza! Yet another boldfaced assertion about how "mission
statements" are obviously unbiblical. (Is funny, a previous poster
said the Creed was full of errors and imports from paganism. When
pressed on the issue, it finally came out that he objected to the
phrase "one baptism for the remission of sin" because that he
disagreed with. as the saying goes "It is not _your_ creed, it is The
Church's creed.")
Anyway, as has been pointed out before, it is obvious from the New
Testament, that the New Testament did all it's growing despite not
having a New Testament to refer to.

But no mater. Now, where did I put that post .... ah yes
"Boilerplate:"

The entire creed has only references to scripture. Here it is
with references inserted in each phrase of it:

I believe in (Romans 10: 8-10; 1 John 4: 15)
One God (Deuteronomy 6: 4, Ephesians 4: 6)
Father (Matthew 6: 9)
Almighty, (Exodus 6: 3)
Creator of heaven and earth, (Genesis 1: 1)
and of all things visible and invisible; (Colossians 1: 15-16)
and in one Lord, Jesus Christ, (Acts 11: 17)
only-begotten Son of God (Matthew 14: 33; 16: 16 / (John 1: 18; 3:
16)
begotten of the Father before all ages; (John 1: 2)
Light of Light (Psalm 27: I; John 8: 12; Matthew 17: 2,5)
true God of true God, (John 17: 1-5)
of one essence with the Father, (John 10: 30)
through Whom all things were made; (Hebrews 1: 1-2)
Who for us and for our salvation (I Timothy 2: 4-5)
came down from the heavens ((John 6: 33,35)
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, (Luke 1:35)
and became man. (John 1: 14)
Crucified for us (Mark 15: 25; I Corinthians 15: 3)
under Pontius Pilate, (John 1: 14)
He suffered, (Mark 8: 31)
and was buried; (Luke 23: 53; I Corinthians 15: 4)
Rising on the third day according to the Scriptures, (Luke 24: 1;
1 Cor15: 4)
And ascending into the heavens, (Luke 24: 51; Acts 1: 10)
He is seated at the right hand of the Father; (Mark 16: 19;
Acts 7:55)
And coming again in glory (Matthew 24: 27)
to judge the living and dead, (Acts 10: 42; 2 I Timothy 4: 1)
His kingdom shall have no end; (2 Peter 1: 11)
And in the holy Spirit, (John 14: 26)
Lord (Acts 5: 3-4)
the Giver of life, (Genesis 1: 2)
Who proceeds from the Father, (John 15: 26)
Who together with the Father and the Son is worshipped and
glorified, (Matthew 3: 16-17)
Who spoke through the prophets; (I Samuel 19: 20; Ezekiel 11: 5, 13)
In one, (Matthew 16: 18)
holy, (I Peter 2: 5, 9)
catholic (Mark 16: 15)
and apostolic Church; (Acts 2: 42; Ephesians 2: 19-22)
I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; (Ephesians 4:5)
I expect the resurrection of the dead; (John 11: 24; I Cor. 15:12-49)
And the life of the age to come. (Mark 10: 29-30)
Amen. (Psalm 106:48)

Of course there was no formal "creed" - aside from the Diadache,
the various letters of the early church, the teachings of the Apostles
faithfully taught to faithful men, that they would faithfully teach
others.
>
>Why is that?

The short form: there was unity of teaching, practice, and belief
in The Church.
The Nicene Creed was written to "canonize the obvious". This is
the True Faith, this is what faithful men have taught since the time
of the apostles. Specifically »one Lord Jesus Christ, the
only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages;
Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not created, of one
essence with the Father, through Whom all things were made.«

Why was that thought so important?
Because someone influential was teaching something quite
different, namely that Jesus was not co-eternal wit the Father, but
was a created being. The cynical answer is that Constantine called
the council because he was discovering that there was conflict in the
Church he was hoping would unify the Empire. Regardless of why, the
Emperor provided transportation for bishops from "all over the world"
to come and settle this issue. And they _found_ that the consensus of
what they were teaching could be expressed in what is called the
Symbol of The Faith. (It is known as "the Creed" from the first words
in Latin "Credo" - I believe.)

But all that is probably more information than "Dr Who" can
handle.

Ah,

So what exactly is it that do you "believe"? And why should your
statement be considered any more useful than what other "religious
men" had to say?

What I also find amusing are the number of Protestants who follow
the basic pattern of the "primitive" church, albeit with different
emphasis on what's important.

Constantine, for better or worse, was proclaimed a saint long
before the schism. The Romans may not have him in the Calendar
anymore, but so what?

Protestants don't have any saints. No cloud of witnesses, no
examples of those who fought the good fight and ran the race before
them. Does relieve them of a lot of pressure when it comes to leading
a godly life, eh no?

That is correct, it cannot make a person Born of God. Those creeds at one
point determined who lived and died and were a requirement in order to belong
to a religious organization. A standard for judging who lives of dies
according to self righteous religious people.

ST PETER WILL NOT be asking you to pass a creed tests in order to get into
heaven.

Every few of which recite a creed in a church service because they know it

God judges from the thoughts and intents of the heart

A creed is not a fact. It is a fact, however, that a person much be born

All I have stated, really, is that there was no apostle's creed and
Nicene creed required or it would have been written word for word in the
scriptures.

When the club was small, there was no need for a creed.
Once dorks started to feel they needed power, they would make up shit
and try to peel off the believers who were weak.
If you want to be a member of the original club, there are certain
things you must believe. Otherwise, go start your own church. Just
don't call it catholic.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is
condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only

If you kill a man in his sin, before his appointed time, there remains no
more opportunity to be Born Again. God stated his purpose well in these
verses. Religions who opposed the will of God in these matters were guilty of
murder. They were definitely not operating in Love.

God is recorded in the Bible as having personally killed a large
number of people.[note 1] While the majority of the divine
assassinations certainly took place during God's time as the
notoriously vengeful deity in the Old Testament, a few instances are
also recorded in the (just slightly) more peaceful New Testament.

The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah
Lot’s wife.
The firstborn of Egypt.
The Egyptian army.
Undisclosed number of Ammorites.
20 million - In the global flood:
185,000 - Assyrian soldiers killed while sleeping.

God is NOT the RCC or any relationship to it. The RCC was not authorized to
kill heretics any more than Islam when killing others who oppose their

Yet a creed salvation does not bring.

“And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son
Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. And he that
keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know
that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.” (1Jn 3:23-24)

“Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also
believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without
works is dead?” (Jas 2:19-20)

Creeds are great for self righteousness purposes, even the devils believe and
tremble but their hearts are not changed either.

There are many creeds to false gods. So is there anything inherently good
about a creed to Allah?

Why is it such an issue for you? There is no decree given. Had there been
there would be nothing but arguments such as the pharisee used to judge the
spiritual state of others.

Just for example use the decree of men who stated what a person who is
righteous ought to believe as well as publicly state, and those that did not
do so were considered unworthy as well as heretics, and as such were murdered
in the name of the almighty God.

They were used as the center pole of judgment. In fact when repeated in a
"Chruch service" everybody's lips must be in sync or you will soon stand out
as an unknowledgeable heretic.

There are no wrong questions, only wise or ignorant retorts.

Attempting to create decrees that must be followed is the way of self
righteous people.

You can speak and say whatever you wish and look this way or that, publicly,
but God knows the thoughts and intents of the heart. The same as he knows
ones feigned love for others, which he abhors.

Whether you accept what the Word of God says about being Born Again, and that
by believing, etc., as I have posted from scripture, countless times, is on
you, not me.

Regarding Oaths;

Mat 5:33-37

33Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt
not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:

34But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's
throne:

35Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is
the city of the great King.

36Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair
white or black.

37But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more
than these cometh of evil.

That is from the mouth of Jesus.

James spoke this from out Heavenly Father.

Jas 5:12

12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither
by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your
nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

And from human tradition, if a person could not repeat a creed, or spoke a
different creed, it was used to determine heretics who were then dealt with
accordingly per the standards of self righteous men.

No creed is mentioned nor inferred there. It speaks of the Gospel which Jesus
brought to the world.

He did say, "You must be born again." Is that a creed? Or a commandment from
the Lord.

Yes "You must be born again" is a commandment.

Do Robert believe it? Then it is a "credo", something one
believes.
Is it necessary to believe that it is a commandment which one must
follow? If so, then it is a "dogma" of ones religion.

The real question is: what does Robert believe? And specifically,
can he encapsulate those beliefs into a short statement, a.k.a. "a
creed"?




Apparently understanding the difference between "things commanded of
God" and a "List of things commanded by God" just too confusing. I
think he gets stuck on the word "creed" which comes form the Latin
'Credo' - "I believe".

Is it a command of the Lord, or a decree of a religion?

To you, perhaps, and that seems to be your focus.

Shifting the goal posts. Again?

A creed is designed and authored by man. It is something that many pledge to
on their honor. They swear to it.

It appears that you discount the word of God as he tells us not to swear by
anything, God or man.

You can keep attempting to set up a strawman for your self serving purposes.
But for what purpose? To deflect the thoughts of you and others from God and
his words to a person? If what benefit is that?

The Creed as written by the Catholic Church, is a man-made and
authoritarian thing. There are several versions of it as needed by
the RCC I believe?

While I do not believe being this 'born again' is needful depending on
its meaning, this creed is definitely not needed to be a follower of
Jesus. Can you prove otherwise in the words of Jesus?

matty says God knows everything. Then he says no person knows what

Well then, you could have a creed if you wanted to.
No one forces people to speak the creed.

Of course it isn't.
However, if you do not believe the Apsotles Creed, then you should

If we have free will, we then can choose to follow God .... or not.
God gave us that free will.
God does not force us to do His will.
Yet, you seem to think God knows exactly what we will do.

I doubt Robert wants to recognize he has a "Credo", a statement of
what it is he believes.
It would ruin his whole stance how "I just follow the Book".
--
For many "I am spiritual, not religious".seems the short form of
"I retain the option to adjust my beliefs to fit my lifestyle,
nor be constrained by prior statements about what I said I believe."

That is true, and the RCC has chosen not to follow Jesus but a
Pagan pedophile, corruption and greed cult. The RCC was founded
around Pagan beliefs with a few words of the Bible mixed in a true
Universal Church.

>God gave us that free will.

True or we always had it.

>God does not force us to do His will.

Also true.

>Yet, you seem to think God knows exactly what we will do.

That isn't what I said. I said "He knows everything about any of
us, God knows more about any of us than we ourselves know", you are
again using your fundamentalism and changing what was said with
calumny, with disinformation.

OK Then I will rephrase it for my low IQ fundamentalist Catholic
lets try this 'He knows everything about any of us to the present day,
God knows more about any of us than we ourselves know'

There even Patrick Barker should be able to understand that.

Jesus's words are what the creed would be. Not what some
pagan-born cult called the Catholic Church made up, they defended and
aided and covered for pedophiles and also murdered thousands while
claiming they represent Jesus on earth, which makes their fruit rotten
to the core.

18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good
fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and
thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

The RCC as an institution needs to be thrown into the fire.

LOL, Then you are saying the Catholic creed is necessary for
following Jesus? Sorry, one does not need to follow a pedophile cult
called Roman Catholic Church to follow Jesus, in fact, better if you
reject RCC.

Yes, or He wouldn't be God. Plus, He is everything.

Rom_11:36  For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to

Then why did you ask? You are predictable. Maybe I can watch your

Patrick Barker you aren't planning on coming to Washington State to

Modern day teachings cannot disturb the history of the past. Their truths
remain and are yet passed down via tradition. There is nothing you can do to
absolve it.

You can renounce it if you wish and shun it from your life, but by defending

You can only be a heretic to your beliefs, not mine. You can teach and
believe following heresies according the the doctrines of your church that
oppose the Word of God, Idolatry being a major one of those errors. The
disbelief in the gifts of the spirit, the Holy Spirit. The ladder or other
steps of Theosis, another. Theotokos another.

What you just described is a doctrine of men, not of God.

Did not the Lord say,...

“Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or
figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil
fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that
bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore
by their fruits ye shall know them.” (Mat 7:16-20)

In other words, "Faith without works is dead".

That is a false statement. No one was bound by their decree as I have pointed
out via scripture many times. Now was a method established by how one joins a
church. That is a ridiculous statement. Not of God.

Nope, not at all, and your point has never been established or backed up in

Where is there any evidence of that? Since when did man have any say about
matters of Faith, truth or practice? Is not King Jesus the ruler in such
matters? Is not His Kingdom His to decide? Is there not an ekklesia of God
and a church of man?

Evidently you do not have and eye for discernment.

"The following scripture passages are considered by many to be creeds or
declarations of faith. These are taken from both Lieth’s Schaff’s books
to which I have read."

Considered by man, not established, IOW by God. Case in point, they declared
Mat 16:16 to be a creed of man. Yet that is to be disputed by scripture
following.

Mat 16:16-20

16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the
living God.

17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for
flesh and blood hath not revealed itunto thee, but my Father which is in
heaven.

18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will
build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever
thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt
loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was
Jesus the Christ.

Read V 17 as to whom it was that revealed it. Was it Mano y Mano? Nope.

Other stuff they decreed as being a creed of Man was first established in the
scripture, and followed up by mens admittance as to the veracity of the
scripture.

As you can see, the woman admits right up front that she took this from
another persons thoughts, and also acknowledged that there was only partial
acceptance by many thus leaving to unvarnished truth present that not every
man believed this, or that it was based on scripture. A short example of
which was their statement on Mat 16:16 and the disagreement by God that what
they acclaimed is a false statement.

Short sightedness does not truth establish.

A friend of Jesus does not shun His truths.

Both.

It really can't be that hard for you to grasp, can it? Are you
really that stuck in that you cannot grasp that "creed" merely means
"I believe"?
Or is it that you do not actually believe anything? Because that
does seem to be your creed, never mind the word which seems to cause
an irrational response in you.

There is only one religion that was ordained by God, that was Judaism. It was

There are commands of God given to men. The sole authority over all things,
people, places, and time. The highest authority, spiritual, and for this
world as well.

There are dogma's and decree's originated by men for men. There are religions
originated by men for men.

“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit
the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted
from the world.” (Jas 1:27)

You, like your sister in the Orthodox religion claim a lot about me, yet
without any knowledge. I have freely spoken, and said what I have, but you,
like her, and others have read not what I wrote clearly, but filtered it all
via the stronghold of your minds and trained visions. Same way that you read
and understand scripture. Through filters.

What you all find difficult to accept is the Lord, His Way, His Truth and His
Life. So you all follow seemingly alternative ways so as to pretend you
worship God, and God alone. Yet you bring in religions, Saints, etc.

Tell us of what religion were the redeemed of the Lord following His Death
and Ressurection?
Protestors of the RCC? Nope.
RC's? Nope.
Were any one of them spiritually of this world? Nope.
What then were they?

You have yet to hear and understand what I have said. If you had then you
could not only point out my words and understandings, but their flaws or
correctness. That is, if you actually had a base to stand on.

None of you have a base or a rock to stand on, which is why you float from
one religion to the next. You migrate from one philosophy of men to the next
based on your liquid emotions. You do not even have the strength of your own
convictions to stand on, whether they be right or wrong, you only have
pretense. Which is why you are cold and calloused to the spiritual life of
others and cannot evangelize for it, or God.

“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert
cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I
will spue thee out of my mouth.” (Rev 3:15-16)

You both miss the point. A relationship with Jesus Christ is between him and

Jesus Christ is the door. The door way to eternal life with God. There is no

Joh 10:7-18 (KJV)

7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the
door of the sheep.

8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not
hear them.

9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go
in and out, and find pasture.

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am
come that they might have life, and that they might have itmore abundantly.

11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are
not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf
catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the
sheep.

14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep,and am known of mine.

15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my
life for the sheep.

16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must
bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, andone
shepherd.

17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might
take it again.

18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay
it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received
of my Father.

============================

And it certainly does not depend on you - bobbo - on what and how we

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a
man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he
enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of
water andofthe Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the
Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

In other words, it is imperative that a man in order to see the Kingdom of
God, they then must be Born Again. V3 and 7

According to Jesus there is no other way possible to See it.

If a person does not want to see it, then the commandment means nothing to
them and does not apply.

I believe, the statement has nothing to do with a creed, as you were shown by
the latin definition of Creda the latin word for Creed.

Therefor to break it down simply for you, what I believe and hold to be true
is not something that you must follow, especially because I said it.

A creed is something that you must swear to uphold.

What the Bible speaks, God dictates, His heaven, his rules,
The Scripture cannot be broken, John 7:38

Yes, according to the daffynition you chose, but you did not include all it
and omitted the part you did not like.

You stated that the word came from the Latin word, Credo,

crēdo transitive and intransitive verb III conjugation

Q:On Sundays and holy days of obligation, we recite the Nicene Creed. We
begin by saying, “We believe in one God….” Although this is the first
person plural, this prayer’s Latin text reads “Credo” (“I believe,”
first person singular). Who made this change and by what authority?

A: What we commonly call the Creed is technically called a Profession of
Faith. That is the heading used in the Sacramentary, the liturgical book used
by the priest for prayers at Mass.

You are correct that the Latin text indicates the first person singular.
Whose faith, however, is being professed at Mass—that of an individual,
isolated believer or that of many believers sharing a common faith?

Historically, the Profession of Faith was written for an adult about to
receive the Sacrament of Baptism. From memory, he or she recited this prayer
to show an acceptance of what the Church believes. Only an individual person
could pray that Profession of Faith.
====================================
It is a requirement.

What Is the Nicene Creed and Why Is It Important?

The term “creed” comes from the Latin word “credo,” which translates
to “I believe.” A creed is a commitment to a specific belief, and the
Catechism of the Catholic Church
(https://catholicworldmission.org/catholic-church-timeline/) identifies a
creed as a symbol of faith.

The Catholic Church recognizes three creeds, including the Apostles’ Creed,
Athanasian Creed and the Nicene-Constantinople Creed. The Apostles’ Creed
and Nicene Creed are more common in the Church. On the other hand, the
lesser-known Athanasian Creed is rare within the Church.
================================================

Flat straight out, this is a document of man, a religious document of a
religion that one prescribed to.

It is NOT a statement of ones personal belief that was God ordained.
It is a statement of beliefs that is prescribed by the church. To Prove that
point the higher ups in religions of men argued these points as to what was
correct or not, modified them over the centuries, and even still some have
difficulties with parts of it, that are fully part of what a person states
when they say, "I or WE Believe". You are not considered a Christian if you
cannot or will not swear to believe the creed.

By simply swearing this oath that you believe the Creed you are following the
whims of men. Which pretends to be ordained of the Bible. Are some parts of
it biblical? Yes, but not all of it, and the adherents do not really know
where in the Bible such points are made or denied. Again, therefor, they are
repeating a creed and their faith is in the originators of that Creed, not
the Bible, Not the word of God, but of pontificating man. The "WE" PART
throws you into a mass and is not of a personal nature.

============================================================

Who Wrote the Catholic Nicene Creed?

The original Nicene Creed dates back to 325 at the First Council of Nicaea,
the first ecumenical council of the Christian Church that met in ancient
Nicaea, now known as Iznik, Turkey. Emperor Constantine I called the council,
presiding over the opening session and participating in the discussion.

Constantine hoped a council would help solve the issues resulting from
Arianism, a heresy proposed by Arius of Alexandria suggesting Christ was not
divine but a created being. The council quickly condemned Arius and
incorporated the nonspiritual word “homoousios,” meaning “of one
substance,” into a creed, signifying the equality of the Son with the
Father. Constantine exiled Arius for his heretical beliefs.

While the Council of Nicaea promulgated the Creed of Nicaea in 325, the
Council of Constantinople in 381 expanded it. The goal was to bring the Creed
of Nicaea up to date regarding heresies related to the incarnation and the
Holy Spirit, which arose at the Council of Nicaea.

What Is the Meaning of the Nicene Creed for Catholics?

While the Nicene Creed is meaningful as a whole, understanding each line can
help us strengthen our relationship with God and understand the importance of
reciting the Nicene Creed.
=====================================================

Clearly this is a product of man and their religious decree. This is the
belief of men and their basis for declaring others heretics. This CANNOT
strengthen anyones relationship with God, but only the religious church of
man, have a form of Godliness, but putting their power to it, not God.

You religious fanatics have been conned, and dare not read the Bible, the
Word of God, lest you be condemned in your own heart. That is why the pseudo
christian lets others read it, so that God cannot speak to them directly.
Just like the Israelis in the desert did "lest they die". Problem is, you are
already dead in your trespasses and sins and your think this is a way of
placating God with your pretense of righteousness. So you are comfortable
sitting there in a pot of tepid water and when it comes to a boil and you
die, only to fully waken to your spiritual eternal death does it hit you full
force and you see your proverbial 70 virgins are all well used and diseased
whores cackling at you with their shrill voices for an eternity.
