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 579 Views

Are you trying to suggest that "Reformed" or some other brand of scientology is plausible? Joel - 04/10/2011 04:28:40 PM 1003 Views

We're not as immovable as we are sometimes portrayed. Dannymac - 03/10/2011 05:27:17 PM 1009 Views
"Even Christ didn't do that"? I can't agree. Legolas - 03/10/2011 09:00:34 PM 980 Views

Point of Anal Retentive Dissent: Joel - 04/10/2011 03:54:00 PM 914 Views
That concept is alien to the Christian theological understanding, however. Tom - 03/10/2011 10:18:55 PM 995 Views
I understand what both you and Danny are saying LadyLorraine - 04/10/2011 12:19:57 AM 947 Views
Oh, that's very simple Tom - 04/10/2011 04:02:24 AM 965 Views
I honestly don't know what it would take. Dannymac - 04/10/2011 07:41:55 AM 972 Views

Was the twin banging and the gay wedding the same event? Joel - 04/10/2011 06:36:03 PM 1017 Views
Yikes. Even for religion, that's more than a little crazy. Nate - 04/10/2011 03:47:56 PM 1018 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 998 Views
A difference exists if only in continued unabashed affirmation of a rather distasteful doctrine. Joel - 04/10/2011 11:06:51 PM 985 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 542 Views
OK, within the Mormon context I can see that point. Joel - 05/10/2011 12:33:52 AM 926 Views
They can in quite a few denominations. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/10/2011 06:12:35 AM 594 Views
Whoops! You meant in LDS specifically. My mistake. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/10/2011 06:14:05 AM 557 Views

Oh, you didn't know? Joe Smith said black people are cursed for following Satan. Tom - 05/10/2011 01:10:35 AM 978 Views

Monophysites, miaphysites, monothelites, etc. certainly accept the consubstantiality of God/Christ Larry - 07/10/2011 11:58:05 AM 937 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 909 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 987 Views
I was just saying there were competing views. Gher - 07/10/2011 07:49:26 PM 1368 Views
Oh, there were definitely competing views, just not competing Christian views. Joel - 07/10/2011 09:26:22 PM 886 Views
