To: ealgeone; Mr Rogers

I mixed up the senders. What I posted to you was meant for Mr Rogers (see post 48). My apologies.

Regarding your “some say ...”, I would only reply some say all kinds of things. I am not responsible for irresponsible comments of others. But, to answer you, the creeds do not supersede the Scriptures. The creeds are drawn from the Scriptures. That is their value.They remind us of basic things taught in the Scriptures that would not otherwise be known to us if not for the Scriptures.

Let me give you an analogy. The Pledge of Allegiance does not supersede the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. It is drawn from them. If a person, after serious consideration, objects to the Pledge, does that person have a problem simply with the Pledge or is it really with the Declaration and Constitution themselves? The Pledge is a simple reminder to us of what it is to be a U.S. citizen. Should we discontinue using it because we fear it may inhibit people from going to the effort of reading through the Declaration and Constitution?
