I had never heard of the athanasian creed before, either.... man, that thing is repetitive, isn't it?

I was thinking..... "ok, ok.... I grasped the concept the FIRST time...."

Well that's why God is emptying out all the faithless and replacing them with those who actually are serious about the faith, praise Jesus.
 
Yes, actually quite a number of them. Just read Revelation 14. Also in authority over our order is the 24 elders, the 2 prophets, and of course the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Sounds like a cult to me. That is if all of you actually get together and there are 2 actual people claiming to be the prophets who tell you what you should think and do (or what the correct interpretation of the Bible is).
 
Yeah, so the last couple of days this song has been playing in my mind.
:unsure: Don't know why a song called "Creed" would get stuck in my head after spending time in this thread 🤷‍♀️
Oh well. Praise Jesus!

The 2 prophets are Enoch and Elijah. Also there is no interpretation of the Bible, the Bible is exactly as it is written, it's just merely a matter of whether or not you believe. I believe, praise Jesus.

It really only makes sense if you understand many of the different ideas about the trinity that they were trying to combat by writing the creed.

The idea that the Father is part of God, Jesus is part of God, the HS is part of God but it takes all 3 to make 1 full God (instead of each being fully God in their own right).

The idea that God is 1 God and the father, son, and holy spirit are just different aspects or modes that we experience of that one God.

The idea that God is God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit came from God but weren't exactly God themselves

The idea that flesh is evil and spirit is good so for Jesus to be perfectly good he had to be all spirit and only appear to have a body.

There's probably more but those are the ones that I can think of off the top of my head.

1 Partialism, they go to Hell
2 Modalism, they go to Hell
3 Arianism, they go to Hell.
4. Gnosticism, they go to Hell

Oh yes there is much more. Literally anything that controverts the Creed in any point will expose the heresy. There's also tritheism which is to say the three persons of the Trinity are three separate gods, which sounds ridiculous but then you got the Mormons, whom shall all go to Hell. This is actually a good post though.

I've already answered that pages ago you just have a selective memory typical of deceived deceivers. Any church that affirms the Athanasian Creed fully and with understanding of it, they are a legitimate denomination. But first you must do that yourself. After you escape the cult and renounce the heresy and become a Christian, well hey, you can have real freedom to check them all out if you want. Scrutinize them down to the details as you wish. Be wary though lots of Jezebels in our time and even if they hold the Athanasian Creed they might have gone over to Jezebel, and you'll know by how they commit, defend, and befriend all whoredom and all false religion.

In short to both; you need to read the Bible way more.
Name a denomination. Southern Baptist? Methodist? Episcopal? Presbyterian? Which church do you prefer?

Unless you're reading the original hebrew and greek (and a bit of aramaic), you're reading an interpretation / translation of the Bible. We've got lots of tools and multiple translations in english to help us get it right, but there's still shades of meaning we miss and even places where the translators put a footnote to say basically the meaning of this part was uncertain but this is our best guess.

Literally all of those, go ahead take your pick, if I tell you one you'll hate it, so hey I'll start wit hthe Catholics who you could join they technically valid, but I think Leo is a craven and denied the religion lowkey three times jsut recently in the news and surrendered his power and authority to the Revelation 14 saints (if you care to take your place on the Jedi Council). You can add those Lutherans where you might be able to get a date, but beware lots of Jezebels pretend to be Rebekah, but that can be for any denomination valid or heretical, or even just straight up pagans. Heck even technically a non-denominational church that simply affirms the Athanasian Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Apostle's Creed as well as the ful lveracity of the canonical Bible is a technically valid church. The reason your modalist churches (and the other major heretics too, refer to the post of cinder with thumbs up approval no bias at all) aren't valid, and are actually demonic and also damnation worthy, is because they are literally against God.

Which kind of church do you go to?

I haven't found an entire denomination that I hate yet, so feel free to tell me which denomination you attend. Your assumption that I would hate it just because you go to it is rather strange.

I'm betting you're either primitive Baptist or presbyterian.

Are you denying the veracity of the canon Bible? That's big mistake, but I guess you probably read it first. Several major valid English translations exist, start with the KJV, or use the ESV if you're too stupid.

Oh been to several of those already, not actually the Catholics or Presbos actually. Batptists, Lutherans, Non-denominational trinitarians are nearest to me, but I've been to several others, I been to your heretic churches too, they're around, I'm surprised you didn't try to evade the truth by mentioning Satan's frog Gino Jennings frankly. Flee while you ca and convert to Christianity and either become most eligible bachelor #1 for a deserving Rebekah or else a strong Christian saint of the Apoalypse like me, or you know, go ahead and continue and join him in the same Oneness pit in hellfire forever with that disgusting toad Gino Jennings, in the name of Jesus amen

You say there's no interpretation of the bible, it is as written. I point out that it was written in languages you don't understand and whatever bible you've read had to be interpreted to be translated. I'm denying your claim to read the bible as it is written without interpretation. I'm sure the translators did an expert job and am greatful for their work. But we can't claim to understand the bible completely as it was written , there's linguistic and cultural factors that have to be considered.

Those are langauges, tongues and interpretation of tongues, not trying to make the verse say what it does not clearly say. Be smarter, It helps if you actually read it fully, like read it like its any other big book. You ever try that yet? You ever tell yourself I'm just gonna read the Bible from cover-to-cover and believe it at least for the story itself? I did that first time I read it fully. Emphasis on first, it's been a minute since then and so many read through binding all the words to the tables of the heart and the mind. I can tell obviously you people either outright have not read it, don't believe it, or know it's true and are so evil you think you fight God and wrest authority from man, and you'll lose just like the Bible says, praise Jesus.
 
Warriors! The decision is no concern of mine and I understand that there should not be any discussions because it is the individuals decision to get a tattoo or not get a tattoo. Did you know that you are in the military? The Creator gives us armor and weapons of war to us that we might train with them having the armor on properly. If you had to describe the military, what one word would sum it up? Have you ever thought about that? We concern ourselves with irrelevant affairs instead of looking to the One who has called us. Timothy2:4 says: "No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer who has enlisted them!" Anyone serve in the military that is on this thread? If so, DM me. I would love to hear your take on being armored up or just reply! That works too! Hahaha! Thanx! Cya!
