The CC for sure .But wait, CC says the Apostles Creed is a Catholic document,once known as “rule of faith”. What did the original Apostles Creed leave out ?
Hello David,
Iaccurate again:
Not the ‘Rule’ but the’profession of the Faith CCC# 194, It is a summary of the Apostle’s faith,
and if we had to profess everything they taught, we’d be reciting it our whole lives
Even John wrote that Jesus’ teachings alone…
Jhn 21:25 But there are also many other things which Jesus did; were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
Code:
The Bible is incomplete! without the teaching Traditions of the Church. So saith the Bible:
Eph 3:7 Of this gospel I was
made a minister according to the gift of God’s grace which was given me by the working of his power.
Eph 3:8 To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
Eph 3:9 and
to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things;
Eph 3:10 that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places.
Let’s see the Protestants in the distrust of the Catholic Faith, toook away Reason concerning the Scriptures and Bible alone became their Rule of faith.
Judaism was never a Torah alone, nor did the Apostles teach Scripture alone.
If everything Jesus did could not possibly be written How do you expect the Apostles and the Early Church leaders to write everything down? from the fifth century, there existed unanimity in the West concerning the New Testament canon (as it is today),[14] and by the fifth century the Eastern Church, with a few exceptions, had come to accept the Book of Revelation and thus had come into harmony on the matter of the New Testament canon.
it was the Sacred Tradition of the Catholic Church, which made it possible for the Protestants to pick and choose their Own Canon from it.
In the N.T. their is only one mention of a rule:
Gal 6:14 But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
16
Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God.
In the Roman Catholic Church, the Bible and Sacred Tradition (that is, things believed to have been taught by Jesus and the apostles that were not recorded in the Bible but were transmitted through the church)
are considered a rule for all believers for judging faith and practice. (Not Just the Apostles Creed}
Thank you,
God bless,
John
