[Church_of_Christ] Re: Creeds
Hi Norman,
you said: When I looked up *creed* in the dictionary, I found these definitions.
1. Statement of beliefs: a formal summary of the principles of the Christian faith
2. Religion: a set of religious beliefs
3. Set of principles: any set of beliefs or principles
According to these definitions, creed is any set of principles or religious beliefs. Creeds can be written or oral.
My dictionary reads, "A brief authoritative formula of religious belief" and " a set of fundamental beliefs". I take this to mean the very core beliefs of our faith. It has nothing to do with how often we assemble or how we are organized.
Any set of beliefs or principles that do not come from the Bible is a creed and is not the essentials of the Christian faith.
A Creed should come from the Bible. IF not, it is a falsehood.
Kindly, Cole
