I don't really think I'm a heretic. But because many people (including myself) like to try to judge who is in and who is out; here is a reminder of the basics that we should all agree on! I have to keep on reminding myself to lighten up, but I find many who are unwilling to listen or even flat out frightened to think outside of their denomination upbringing. It can be a little scary sometimes. Just imagine what it was like before there was even a canon of scripture. The Nicean Creed We believe5 in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And of all things visible and invisible. 2. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, Begotten of the Father before all worlds; Light of Light. Very God of very God, Begotten, not made, Being of one substance with the Father; By whom all things were made; 3. Who, for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, And was made man 4. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; 5. And the third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures; 6. And ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of the Father; 7. And he shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; Whose kingdom shall have no end. 8. And in the Holy Ghost, The Lord, and Giver of life; Who proceedeth from the Father Who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; Who spake by the Prophets. 9. And in one holy catholic and apostolic Church; 10. We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; 11. And we look for the resurrection of the dead; 12. And the life of the world to come. |
