I love the Nicene Creed. It is such an excellent encapsulation. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 03/10/2011 06:07:53 PM
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father [Catholics add: and the Son]. With the Father and the Son He is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets.

Reformed churches add the "and the Son" bit as well. Suspect others might too, not certain though.

There are Mormon literalists? Seriously? *NM* Legolas - 03/10/2011 03:02:18 PM 567 Views

Are you trying to suggest that "Reformed" or some other brand of scientology is plausible? Joel - 04/10/2011 04:28:40 PM 975 Views

i don't know, but if THAT is the first rule... LadyLorraine - 04/10/2011 03:41:20 AM 583 Views
Please explain why you think we should consider you Christians. Tom - 03/10/2011 04:33:06 PM 1116 Views
you know, that does make me wonder though LadyLorraine - 03/10/2011 04:58:21 PM 1008 Views
We're not as immovable as we are sometimes portrayed. Dannymac - 03/10/2011 05:27:17 PM 986 Views
"Even Christ didn't do that"? I can't agree. Legolas - 03/10/2011 09:00:34 PM 955 Views

Point of Anal Retentive Dissent: Joel - 04/10/2011 03:54:00 PM 894 Views
That concept is alien to the Christian theological understanding, however. Tom - 03/10/2011 10:18:55 PM 973 Views
I understand what both you and Danny are saying LadyLorraine - 04/10/2011 12:19:57 AM 927 Views
Oh, that's very simple Tom - 04/10/2011 04:02:24 AM 938 Views
I honestly don't know what it would take. Dannymac - 04/10/2011 07:41:55 AM 954 Views
thank you, both of you LadyLorraine - 04/10/2011 01:46:05 PM 938 Views

Was the twin banging and the gay wedding the same event? Joel - 04/10/2011 06:36:03 PM 991 Views
Yikes. Even for religion, that's more than a little crazy. Nate - 04/10/2011 03:47:56 PM 998 Views
I don't think there's much of a difference in crazy as opposed to other more mainstream religions. Vivien - 04/10/2011 07:08:06 PM 974 Views
A difference exists if only in continued unabashed affirmation of a rather distasteful doctrine. Joel - 04/10/2011 11:06:51 PM 966 Views
Then why can't women be priests? Or enter the altar? The curse on Eve is very much in place. *NM* Aeryn - 05/10/2011 12:27:04 AM 530 Views
OK, within the Mormon context I can see that point. Joel - 05/10/2011 12:33:52 AM 898 Views
They can in quite a few denominations. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/10/2011 06:12:35 AM 585 Views
Whoops! You meant in LDS specifically. My mistake. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/10/2011 06:14:05 AM 548 Views

Yes, that is kind of the problem. Joel - 06/10/2011 12:13:27 AM 931 Views
Oh, you didn't know? Joe Smith said black people are cursed for following Satan. Tom - 05/10/2011 01:10:35 AM 946 Views

Monophysites, miaphysites, monothelites, etc. certainly accept the consubstantiality of God/Christ Larry - 07/10/2011 11:58:05 AM 914 Views

Your ideas intrigue me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Joel - 08/10/2011 05:30:38 PM 991 Views
I can see that with the Monothelites (can see their appeal, in fact,) but not Monophysites. Joel - 07/10/2011 09:43:27 PM 880 Views
Tempting as it is to prove Joel wrong (since he so frequently is), I need to take issue with this. Tom - 07/10/2011 06:59:13 PM 965 Views
I was just saying there were competing views. Gher - 07/10/2011 07:49:26 PM 1342 Views
Oh, there were definitely competing views, just not competing Christian views. Joel - 07/10/2011 09:26:22 PM 867 Views
That sounds really nice. Vivien - 04/10/2011 06:38:29 PM 931 Views
