No idea what you are talking about.

Answer same as above.

zerinus
You did not provide an answer for why the ecumenical councils were commenced.

You did not list the purpose of the 7 ecumenical councils, so where is your answer you keep telling me is there I simply do not see?

I am daft, as you implyed earlier, so please tell me again what your answer is to my questions?
 
I don’t intend to write a history of the creeds for you in here. If you have a problem with what I have said, spell it out clearly, and we will talk about it.

zerinus
Okay, I found your answer.

Now tell me about the creeds.

Tell me about the first council.
 
What part of any of the creeds have the Mormons rejected in the first 7 ecumenical councils?

I must reverse my strategy I guess.
We reject the ecumenical creeds in their entirety. We don’t try to choose what part of them we agree with and what we don’t agree with. They are often complex documents that don’t make a lot of sense to anybody. Have you read the Athanasian Creed? It doesn’t make any sense to me, even if it does to you. They were formulated by a bunch of people without any authority from God. They contradict biblical teachings, and we do not feel bound to accept them.

Were you guys there to personally reject them?
As a religion?

As a group?

I don’t understand what you are talking about. The Christian church had gone into apostasy. The creeds were formulated by people who had no authority from God to do so. We do not feel bound to accept them. Whether we were there to reject them or not is irrelevant.

I want The Exact Calander date Of The Mythical Apostasy!
 
Why weren’t you there?

Can you hide a light under a bushel basket?

So you’re attempting some kind of inverse vox populi?

No one understands it!

You’re asked about the Councils. Then you say you reject the Creeds… and point to the Athanasian Creed as a reason for rejecting all the Councils.

Are you sure you know what it is you want to reject?
 
Let me assure you that I don’t understand you.

From:Shalom
While Torah is silent on the details it is loud on telling Israel that they should judge for itself how to implement the commandments. Moses delegated, there was a time we had Judges, Sannhedrin etc.
Here You Go zerinus- How to keep Shabbat is Man-Made

As if that is a novel concept? Of course the way Jews observe Shabbat is a product of the people. That’s exactly how it was intended to be.

Why on earth do you care how Beefers chooses to do what he does?
Shalom

And Where is it recorded in the TORAH - Moses delegated his authority to the Sannhedrin ? Nowhere I know

While Bible is silent on the details it is loud on telling Catholics that they should judge for itself how to implement the Christs Teaching. Jesus delegated, there was a time we had Apostles, Churches etc.

Matthew 16 18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Many Catholics have heard that “kepha” is used in both places in this verse ("You are Peter [kepha] and on this rock [kepha] I will build my Church . . . "), but few have seen it with their own eyes.

So here 'tis:

I didn’t say Moses delegated authority to the Sanhedrin. Setting up governing bodies is one of the 613 mitzvot (commandments) given to Israel. Under the advice of his father in law Yitro (Jethro in English) Moses assigned governance over the tribes. He later appointed Joshua, but even so, once Torah was given, Israel knew they had to appoint governing bodies. Governance took the form of Judges, Kings (bad choice) and Sanhedrin at different periods in our history.
