Reciting scripture (if it is scripture) is one thing. Mindlessly chanting/repeating it and/or man made reformulations is another matter.
First, I read the creed text. Although it expresses many scriptural truths, it is not scripture.
Second, Jesus commands not do this:
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:... (Matthew 6:7ff)
We are to engage the mind and spirit and formulate prayer "after this fashion". I was taught a simple mnemonic to aid in one's CONVERSATION with God: PRAY. Praise God, Receive Forgiveness, Ask, Yield to the guiding of His Spirit.
However, people repeat this prayer! Jesus just told us to use it as a model, not to repeat it.
Has language lost all its meaning?
