It has been and interesting couple of days here, first we have the go straight to heaven thread (do not pass the grave) now the apostle's creed, Hell and purgatory can't be far behind. Light a candle for me.

--- Quote from: shibboleth ---You know, Joe, I am so glad God put me in a church with creeds, confessions and catechisms. I learned a lot about them and how much of an idol they are. I have yet to hear one church that believes in them, carefully study anything that is against them.
The trinity, hellfire, immortal soul, are just 3 beliefs they won't give up. I still have some questions about the trinity that I haven't found any answers for, so I am still not sure if it's true.

I have a drawer full of what I call "Babylon books." I wouldn't have them if I hadn't been in Babylon, and they are a great resourse for finding out what churches believe, and how God has shown me so many things that are all contradictory to their teachings.

Can I just light any candle for you, Joe, or do I need to get a candle from the church? I thought maybe they bless the candles like they do the holy water.

LOL I don't think the candle works unless you put a dollar in the slot first.

Thanks for the thought!

shibboleth:
I would just like to say there is nothing inherently wrong with the word creed. It simply means belief. It is when the creed is man written with only a few scriptures to slant an opinion in a certain way, that they can be dangerous. The Apostles Creed, Nicene Creed, Athanasian Creed are three major ones from Christiandom. Many churches repeat them weekly. People don't study the scriptures to "show themselves approved" because they are given these creeds and confessions and really believe they have truth. They mainly believe this because of the education most men of the pulpit have. They know Hebrew, Greek, hermanutics, law, prophecy, and many other things.
They know {knowledge puffs up} many things about God, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW GOD :!:
We need to have a firm foundation of why we believe what we believe, but most churches never get past the elementary teachings of the Bible. They deliberately make their parishioners ignorant, blind and foolish.
