2 Timothy 4:2-4
If you call yourself a Christian, then what do you believe? Do you know what it means to be a Christian? Salvation come from knowing and accepting that Jesus Christ is the Son Of God and the teaching in the Bible,and as to whom He is and how and why he can save you. Because this is important, a meeting of Christian leaders came together a half century or so from the last writings of the New Testament. Today we recite this creed and it is know it as the Apostles' Creed.
The Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Maker of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hell.
The third day He arose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting. Amen.
Roman Catholic, Protestants, Fundamentalist, Reformers, Luther's, Baptist, Presbyterians,etc . . . are the catholic church. This name is a general term or name of believers in Jesus. That is why it is recited in many Christian services. Why is this important? Because if you do not believe in these simple truths of the Bible, then you are not following Christ.
The Christian Church had council meeting because false teachings were creeping into the faithful. Since books and Bibles were not available it was important to have an easy and true creed which one could remember and recite. So it was a summary of the Bible in which people could call upon when faced with false teachings.
Why is this important today? For the same reasons, false teachings. Today many of the church have been taken in by the teachings of the Church of Latter Day Saints. Many Christian have started to believe that this group are Christians. This is the agenda of the LDS Church which has political ambitions and a strange theology about the US Constitution. Leaders for the church like Glenn Beck, Mitt Romney,Mike Huckabee with the help of FOX News have Christians believing that Mormons are just another form of Christianity. You will not find or hear The Apostles' Creed in any form in a Temple of the LDS. That's because they believe:
- god is one of many,who did not create the earth,
- he has a son named Jesus, who was also one of many sons (one of which was Satan),
- born through Joseph not the spirit.
I know what you are thinking, that's not true. Look how nice these people are, good family men, they say things the way I see things. Do they? Or it this just one way to get your vote. Does Romney really believe in the sanctity of human life:
2004–2007. Romney invested in stem cell research. Romney invested in Novo Nordisk and Millipore, two companies involved in stem cell research. He also had investments in Warner Chilcott, the firm that produces Loestrin,an abortifacient. (1) Romney maintained investments in these companies for three years after his conversion to pro-life, but never bothered to instruct his trust manager to avoid investing in anti-life companies until after it became public knowledge.
For more of Romney's voting and investment history after he "became Pro-life" they can be found at this link. Romney-on-abortion Don't be fooled into an agenda of a group of people working to take over our faith and Country. These are hard times and it is times like this that Satan takes delight. Ask the people of Germany (Deutschland), they heard what they wanted to hear but before long they found out how wrong they were in their choice.
