“Does your denomination claim that they have the absolute truth, that those are UNCHANGEABLE doctrines that all members must believe? This is what the Catholic Church teaches of it’s DOCTRINES, they are unchangeable absolute truths that a Catholic must believe or he is not a Catholic.”

“And the Catholic Faith is this, that we worship one God in Trinity ....”

Amazing! In your example, you show that your church has changed the meaning of the Creed in order to hijack history.

The original Creed reads, “And the catholic faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;”

No wonder you must believe the church’s dogma without question.

and your posting shows that you you don’t know what..... means.

I didn’t post the entire Athanasian Creed, only three partial lines.

Verdadjusticia RESPONDS:
The Church does not prohibit questioning and inquiry. Read the long posting from the 400's A.D. from St. Vincent of Lerins, if you can read. Does he sound like he would accept everything without question? Do you think that St. Augustine or St. Thomas Aquinas didn't question anything? What do you think the Summa Theologia was? Do you think that the brightest minds of their times didn't question anything? Precisely it is the questioning that ultimately lead to FINALITY on the matters of pronounced doctrine.

Protestants just have their own opinions. Any unlearned person no matter his ignorance and lack of education, even if he can't read, is still his own authority and above all of those Church Fathers, above even their own Protestant denominations founders.
