NL, why the importance of placing canon and creeds above God's word? Do you honestly believe it is because of the RCC that we have God's word today? Let me refer you to a few Scriptures that SHOULD put this into perspective.
Matt. 22:31
Isaiah 30:8
Psalm 12:6,7
Psalm 119:89, 111, 160
1 Peter 1:23-25 (Isa. 40:8)
Matt. 5:17,18
And see please Deut. 17:14-18-They were to make copies of God's word for distribution and preservation.
Why?
2 Cor.2:17 warns that there are "many which CORRUPT the Word of God."
Do you honestly believe that God would place His word at the hands of people who could possibly corrupt it? Or would He make certain His word was preserved forever?
As far as the Nicean Creed, when was this written? I'm curious.
Sorry, NL, post 217 was meant for both metmom and you. Sorry I didn’t ping you!
