I’m trying to read all of this and am having a hard time getting through all of it.

Let me just say one thing, though. I say the Apostles’ Creed all the time with no conflict.

There are some people, who, when they come to the phrase “one holy, catholic, and apostolic” use the lower case “c” meaning “universal” and not referring solely to the Roman Catholic (upper case “C”) Church.

I don’t know if I’m right or not. This is a matter for prayer.

But, the Apostles’ Creed **can **be something all Christians could possibly agree on.

But, in case I am wrong, I will continue to read it, believe it, and most of all PRAY about it.

Oh, and most of the time in my church (Episcopal if you haven’t caught it yet) we say the Nicene Creed instead of the Apostles’ Creed. I remember reading somewhere that the Nicene Creed was written to address a specific heresy about Jesus which was going around at the time it was written, but I can’t remember what that was. I think it was about His humanity or His divinity, I don’t remember.

But, I DO believe Christ died for my sins and that only way to the Father is through Him.

This is true. what is in question is exactly what trusting him and being obedient to him means.

I agree

The only thing we can agree on is what Jesus did and who he was.

I agree

What we can’t agree on is what it means and what he wants us to do.

I agree

As for my comment earlier, I forgot that in evangelical circles Christ and churches are considered separate.

How can you say that, after I just said in my last post
I do not believe that Jesus is separate from all the churches not of the RC faith?

As I believe too. There are RC’s who believe The RC church is the one and only catholic church God wanted when Jesus said to Peter “upon this Rock…”. But this thread is not about debating the meaning of that verse, but to agree on who Jesus is.

I plugged in Nicene creed in a search engine and the following came up

Nicene Creed
We believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

Bump,

Since Jesus is the head of the church, is the reason I bump this post up front again.

I look forward to all you comments
