We’ll try this one more time, and one only, keeping it very simple. Which assertion of the Athanasian Creed is not faithful to the Scriptures? If you designate one, or more, please cite Scripture that contradicts it.
“Well try this one more time, and one only, keeping it very simple. Which assertion of the Athanasian Creed is not faithful to the Scriptures?”
How about we stick to the topic: What theological doctrine is required knowledge for salvation?
From the posted article: “Stanley also said he believes people can become Christians without knowing the narratives around Jesus birth.”
What is radical about that statement?
As for the Creed:
“Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation; that he also believe faithfully the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess; that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man; God, of the Substance [Essence] of the Father; begotten before the worlds; and Man, of the Substance [Essence] of his Mother, born in the world. Perfect God; and perfect Man, of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting. Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead; and inferior to the Father as touching his Manhood.”
Where does scripture say believing that “is necessary to everlasting salvation”?
“29 Then the jailer called for lights, rushed in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 Then he escorted them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 So they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be savedyou and your household. 32 Then they spoke the message of the Lord to him along with everyone in his house. 33 He took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds. Right away he and all his family were baptized.” - Acts 16
Just how theologically “smart” does a person need to be saved?
And why would anyone trust a formula on the nature of God developed by people who rebelled against His revealed word? If they didn’t understand and accept what is clearly taught, how can they be authoritative on what is NOT clearly taught?
The Virgin Birth is, at least, explicitly taught in scripture. But someone who doubts it might be the equivalent of someone who doubts the worldwide Genesis flood...which I accept, but which isn’t a true/false question that one must pass to be saved.
