And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.
[ 1 Corinthians 5:4, John 1:14, John 3:16, John 1:1-3]
The Apostles creed (I believe) is not in the Bible. The Vatican wants us to believe they were responsible for it.
The Greek churches as well as Rome hammered out the Creeds.
Part 3 NICENE CREED:
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father [and the Son]; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.
[ John 15:26, John 16:13, John 14:26]
And I believe one holy catholic (catholic means universal, not Rome)
and apostolic Church.
[ Ephesians 4:5]
I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
[ Acts 19:4, Acts 22:16, 1 Corinthians 12:13, Mark 1:8, John 11:25, 1 Peter 1:3, Revelation 20:6]
Hi Lauren, the Bible answers the most profound questions about life that science can't answer: Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going when we die? How should we live? Out of the 7 billion people on earth, most people believe the Bible and that it's true, historically and factually, enough so, they base their beliefs and worldview on it. It has transformed billions of lives for the better and countless testimonies, videos, books are written about it. It is the most popular and published book in world history in the billions of copies. It's specific with names, dates, and world events, which historians confirm is accurate. So much so it has the entire genealogy of mankind between Adam & Eve to Abraham to Moses to Jesus, spanning thousands of years. It wasn't just written by one author, but dozens, spanning 1,500 years, and 66 books. It contains profound wisdom, even 'knew' things before science did: Link
where do we go when we die,IF WE ARE BELIEVERS, I was ask this question. I am a Christion that believes in jesus. do i wait in a grave till Christ comes back...the 7th trump
What if God did that with us? What if God judged us by our outward appearance? What if He judged us based on where we grew up? Or what we do for a living? Or the mistakes we made when we were young? He wouldn't do that, would He? "Judge not,that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you " ( Matthew 7:1,2-NKJV )
So be careful when you judge. That doesn't mean we shouldn't discern. That does mean we shouldn't pass the verdict. The amount of grace you give is the amount you get. Jesus had another view of the man born blind. Rather than see him as an opportunity for discussion, He saw him as an opportunity for God. Why was he blind? "That the works of God should be revealed in him" ( John 9:3)
We can't let people take away our sense of judgment. There are things we are to judge. We are to judge rightly. ( Dt 25:2; Jn 7:24) Saints will judge world ( 1 Cor 6:2). Help me with being able to judge rightly without being judgmental.
Look at Luke 11:13, which further edifies this verse. "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the HOLY SPIRIT to them that ask him" The good things spoken of by Jesus here are SPIRITUAL things. ETERNAL things. Eternal life. Not temporal things. Not fleshly things.
Calling Jesus by his Hebrew name in scripture should be no cause for contentious debate.
Refer to the Strong's Concordance: Phonetic Spelling: (ee-ay-sooce')
Definition: Jesus or Joshua, the name of the Messiah, etc.
At the Revelation of Jesus Christ he will reveal his 'new' name known by none of us.
We all (including me) need to be careful about straining that nat & swallowing that camel. The Kingdom of God is more than debate. It is unfeigned love of the brethren. Let us not judge in the matters that do not pertain to salvation....but let each of us be convinced in our own hearts. The Holy Spirit will teach each heart.
I agree Bob!! Rather 'odd' that when speaking one language some would say His name in another...puts me in the mind of the Tower of Babel...No?
God Bless & a blessed Easter to you & yours Bob!!
Using any other name than Jesus contaminates the word of God. Yes Easter is not in the Bible and it was first the Jews in the old testament doing this for SUNrise services in Ezekiel 8:16.
Mark 7:9 And he (Jesus) said unto (The Jews) them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Matthew 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Calling Jesus Yeshua or whatever spelling is a denial of the new testament scriptures.
Traditions of man make void the word of yahovah.
the rapture theory, the pagan word easter and even the celebration of yahshua's birth on a pagan holiday
contaminate any holy worship to yahovah. ?
True believers are those in whom the Spirit dwells and they as a result have a fruit of the Spirit namely; Love,goodness,joy,patience,temperance,faith. Etc
Gal5 22-23
Yes I agree Shane it is what is in our Heart that Matters and this is shown in our Words and Actions Matt 25:31-46 even in our Judgement of others1Cor 2:15-16 which yes we are told to do but not with an Unloving and Condeming spirit as warned in Verses1-5 but according to God's Truth Jn7:24 We too have Sinned and caused Jesus to suffer greatly and our Abba Father who because of His Great Love for us was Seperated from His Beloved Son when Jesus bore our Sins on the Cross 1Pe2:21-25 - Is54. Good and Evil cannot be in Unity that is why when we come close to God in Holiness Satan flees James4:7-17. Than having The Mind of Christ we will All be in Unity. Ephesians6:1-22.
Chapter 7 is one of my favorites,why because it talks to those who profess christ,but follow man.verses 21-24 really stands out.How do you know you are a true follower of christ?
There is no prayer of sinner soul streams of sceams there is lifestyle and athians or phases that stomble too sayings there is stroms there speak you peace!
not So, in the new testment Jesus is in the Temple with his disciples and their are to men making prayers the One prays how he is better then the one standing beside him an gives a list of things he does in his life justifying himself but the other feeling not even worthy to raise his head BEATS on his chest and confesses he is a sinner a beggs for forgiveness here are two payers which are which
mary B: Thank you for your response and I agree, the prayer offered by the sinner in Luke 18 is not specifically a prayer that most have learned if they have grown up in an evangelical church. However it is my belief that it is more a matter of what is in a persons heart, than a matter of the words spoken. As Jesus says in Luke 18:14, "This man went down to his house justified".
Rodney- Jesus tried to help every suffering person he came into contact with regardless of their religion. We are to emulate the character of Jesus. Matthew 5:44 Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you
The Greek churches as well as Rome hammered out the Creeds. Rome was but one of many in attendance
I have had Baptists (I went to a Baptist Bible College) tell me this is heresy.
Yet I can defend every line from the King James Bible that I trust.
Here is is the NICENE CREED:
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
[ 1 Corinthians 8:6, James 2:19, John 1:1-3]
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.
