Plus the oldest parts of the NT were the letters from Paul.

[Biggirl]

Or do what is called “do it yourself” interpitation of scripture.

Creeds are not from God's word,...

From dictionary.com:

1. any system, doctrine, or formula of religious belief, as of a denomination.
2. any system or codification of belief or of opinion.
3. an authoritative, formulated statement of the chief articles of Christian belief, as the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, or the Athanasian Creed.
4. the creed. Apostles' Creed.

Your tagline was probably aimed at a mirror, as you are obviously not as intelligent as your pride is leading you to believe.

[Ezekiel]

Fail.

John 10:30

[editor-surveyor]

The “Great Command” was actually given specifically to the apostles, who were fully equipped to carry it out. Many believers lack the spiritual gifts to do so.

It was not a ‘creed.’

[editor-surveyor]

>> “Plus the oldest parts of the NT were the letters from Paul.” <<

.
Well, no, Paul, and all the rest of the apostles were dead when John penned the Revelation.
.

[editor-surveyor]

If any ‘creeds’ were from God, they would have been set out in his word.

None of those you list are. Creeds are a poorly vailed attempt to present opinion as having the force of God’s word.

[editor-surveyor]

So you are then among the freaks that believe that 1John 5:7-8 is anti-trinitarian?

Your comments are always so bizzare.

[Jeremiah Jr]

Genesis 1
26 Then ELoHIM said, “Let us make ADaM in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So ELoHIM created ADaM in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

***

Male and female, ergo ELoHIM is.
The entire universe is ones and zeros, positive and negative, male and female.

None of those you list are.

What did I list? I listed definitions of "creed."

One of which was "an authoritative, formulated statement of the chief articles of Christian belief" which is pretty much the definition of the Bible.

Heck, even you have a "creed" though you may be loathe to call it as such. Your slavish devotion to a man named "Calvin" pretty much defines your creed.

[editor-surveyor]

I’ve no devotion to the ideas of any man.

If Jesus didn’t say it, chances are strong that it isn’t true. This especially applies to artificial additions to The Way, like creeds, and prayers written by men and compiled in books other than God’s word.

[Biggirl]

What I meant is that, before the Gospels, and before the Revelation, the letters of Paul ARE the oldest parts of the NT.

[editor-surveyor]

I agree with that to some extent. IOW, Paul was productive long after many of them were gone.

[353FMG]

I wrote, the ‘Athanasian Creed’ ascribed to St. Athanasius of the 4th century.

Read it — very politically incorrect.

[Biggirl]

The Christian creeds ARE based on scripture.

This is the last time I am going to post to you.

[ShadowAce]

>> “Plus the oldest parts of the NT were the letters from Paul.” <<

Well, no, Paul, and all the rest of the apostles were dead when John penned the Revelation.

E-S, do you ever actually read for comprehension?

[editor-surveyor]

LOL!

Thanks Shadow.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Look up the word "defined" in a dictionary and the slowly reread what I wrote.

Then, stop engaging in revisionist history.

[editor-surveyor]

Only if you agree to quit engaging in anti-christian behavior.
