Treatise on the Pope.

Yes, I am Catholic, but I’m trying hard to be fair here. The Book of Concord was published in 1580, by the Lutherans.

It is considered *the* doctrinal standard for all Lutherans, past and present.

I’m aware that other branches use other books, but the point I am trying to show is that I could just as easily quote the 39 articles and make the same argument.

Every church has tradition and doctrines and confessions and creeds. Most, if not all accept the ecumenical councils, which were neither their product, and is a part of the tradition handed down to them from the Apostles.

What do find in the creeds that is not directly extractable from the scriptures?
