Suspension of disbelief or complete ignorance of history. I guess the former would cover the latter.
The only creed you need: I believe I am the Church...
Or now so l’m told by “his holiness, CB” (SARCASM/HUMOR).....
Who da thunk it......lol!
Wow....does that mean I can have my own apartment in the Vatican if I declare: “(SARCASM/HUMOR) I am the Church???.....lol
If I were you, I think I’d go for a TV show on Trinity Broadcast Network with a mansion and private jet.

1Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
I thought you eschewed the opinion of fallible men.
But that only applies to fallible men other than oneself. That’s your rule that I’m applying.
So, again, sorry. Paraphrasing Melvin Udall:
Sell your fallible opinions somewhere else, we’re all stocked up here.
So now scripture is fallible to you also? Wow!
AMEN, and beautifully stated, mitch 5501. Thanks for this. It is so uplifting! Thanks again, smvoice
Ah, a test. But a simple one using CB criteria.
What at first glance appears to be a verse of scripture is revealed to be actually:
* A fallible man determining what is scripture, or a fallible man choosing to accept another fallible man’s determination of same;
* A fallible man’s translation of said determined scripture, or a fallible man choosing to accept another fallible man’s translation;
* A fallible man’s interpretation of said determined and translated scripture;
* A fallible man’s opinion that said interpretation of said determined and translated scripture contradicts another fallible man’s opinion and interpretation and translation and determination of same said scripture;
* A fallible man’s decision to post his fallible opinion that said interpretation of said determined and translated scripture
in his fallible opinion that it is in proper context of a discussion on an internet forum.
And to even get to the above we have to ignore your fallible opinion introducing the verse and your fallible opinion of what my fallible opinion is about scripture in general.
Sorry.
This is way, way, way over the line according to your rules.
Long as I don’t have to have “Tammy faye ....ugh!

John 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
Citing chapter and verse like it is an incantation or a municipal code on a traffic citation will not get anyone into heaven, but Blessed are those who live the Beatitudes.

Yeppers. Pretty much what passes for discussion often on here. Also known as “Dueling Verses.”
I’ve seen a few here that seem completely incapable of distinguishing between the Incarnate Word and Holy Scripture.
Tomato, tomato....big hair and ugly eyelashes...same thing....hehe

Must have makeup that runs when they cry. Especially during fund raising appeals.

Have pity, NL. It may be all they have. Bossing around others spiritually when you can’t do much else is one way to pass the time. I can’t do a lot myself, except cleaning, cooking and laundry.
If today anyone on these threads has not shared the Gospel of the Grace of God with anyone, or attempted to give hope to the hopeless by sharing our commission of 2 Cor. 5:14-21, or fed the spiritually starving by sharing the message of reconciliation that God has freely given us, then their posting is done only for public consumption and not for the glory of God.
Tomorrow they will be hungry again. They may still be sick tomorrow, and the clothes they are wearing will one day wear out. But the Word of God endures forever. And cannot be taken away and given back day to day.
