First of all no apostle of the New Testament, would ever promote such an ungodly statement or a Creed! As bad as this is, of course leave it up to the Catholic Church to deceived millions of Catholics, and millions of Protestants who pray and confess this ungodly prayer with their mouths.
While not written by the original apostles, the Apostles Creed does have some truth to it! Example: I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is
seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judgethe living and the dead.
THIS IS ALL TRUE! NOW COMES THE LIE!
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy
Catholic Church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection
of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
Nicene Creed LIE! I believe in one, holy, catholic and
apostolic Church. I confess one Bap-
tism for the forgiveness of sins and I look
forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
So, my brothers and sisters in the Lord let’s use the Word of God to expose just how wrong! This Apostles Creed really is.
1. The Apostles Creed first of all is silent on Christ’s satisfaction of the Father’s justice. The term and concept of propitiation are absent.
2.The Apostles Creed is silent on Christ’s substitutionary death. The term and concept of Atonement are completely absent.
3. The Apostles Creed is silent on the purpose of Christ’s death. His death is mentioned, but as an historical event, without an explanation of its meaning, is not a Christian confession. The Pharisees also believed Christ died. Christians must confess, “Christ died for your sin and took your place on his cross’’ John 19:30 total TRUST IN CHRIST ALONE! Neither the Catholic Church, nor Catholic people really believe! If the Catholic Church, and you as a Catholic really did believe and trust in Christ alone! There WOULD BE NO NEED FOR PURGATORY.
4. The Apostles Creed has some Scripture. In his summary of the Gospel, Paul wrote: “Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures.” How can the Apostles Creed derive its authority from Scripture if it does not even mention it? Perhaps this is one reason why the pope can confess the Apostles’ Creed too: Because it boasts of the belief in the “Holy Catholic Church” is included! Or have some of you who are still in a Protestant Church never given this any thought at all.
5. The Apostles Creed is silent on the inspiration of Scripture, the authority of Scripture, the sufficiency of Scripture, the necessity of Scripture, the inerrancy and infallibility of Scripture, the perspicuity (clarity) of Scripture, the power of Scripture, the coherence of Scripture, etc. And the Catholic Church has the audacity to call this the Apostles’ Creed? This Apostles’ Creed? Describes the “Catholic Church” as “Holy,” what brain washed Protestant who knows the Word of God! WOULD SAY WITH THEIR MOUTH, THEY BELIEVE IN! THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE COMMUNION OF PRAYING TO DEAD SAINTS! KNOWN AS SPIRITISM.
6. The Apostles’ Creed? Is silent on the Trinity, although all three Persons are mentioned, the unity of the Godhead is not expressed, and only one Person is confessed as God. The Apostles’ Creed is so vague that its confessors may believe in three gods or that only God the Father is God, and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are lesser beings.
7. The Apostles’ Creed is silent on the Gospel. The term and concept are absent. It makes no reference to the method and means of salvation. Salvation by God’s grace alone is not mentioned.
8. The Apostles’ Creed is silent on justification by faith in Christ alone. One would think a creed would say something about justification and faith. The Apostles’ Creed does not.
9. The Apostles’ Creed is silent on predestination, and election. It contains not even a hint of an eternal divine plan for the salvation of God’s people.
10. The Apostles’ Creed is silent on regeneration and sanctification the new birth and the Christian life.
11. The Apostles’ Creed is silent on confession of sin to God, and offers no definition of sin
12. The Apostles’ Creed mentions Pontius Pilate, but is silent on the Person of the Holy Spirit. “I believe in the Holy Ghost” does not express much of anything. Would any listener figure out who he is or what he does? Or what part that he has in the salvation process! The Apostles Creed does not even say that the Holy Ghost is God. Amazing, isn’t it? Did I say amazing? I meant appalling.
13. The Apostles’ Creed implies that only the Father is Creator. John says that “All things were made by him [the Logos].” Job and the Psalms proclaim that the Spirit “made the heavens and all the hosts of them.” So what kind of creedal expression is the Apostles’ Creed? It is a lowest-common denominator ecumenical confession, apparently designed to please everyone in the churches, except those of us who are biblically born again! Christians. Nor does it “contain all the fundamental articles of the Christian faith necessary for salvation
14. Omission of these central truths leaves many doors open for cunning people to bind unsuspecting souls in ecclesiastical chains bringing many people back into the spiritual prison house of the Catholic religion.
15. Without God’s wrath fully appeased once for all by Christ’s death, the Roman Catholic Church reach a conclusion that they must sacrifice Christ afresh every day and work for their own salvation.
The Apostles’ Creed does nothing to preclude or dispel damnable heresies such as the mass, taught by the largest religious organization on the planet.
16. The Apostles’ Creed triumph over all the other forms in the Latin Church was not completed till the eighth century, or about the time when the bishops of Rome strenuously endeavored to conform the liturgies of the Western churches to the Roman order” if its anything that Catholics learn from history, is that they don’t learn from it or continue to rewrite history.
17. The Apostles’ Creed nowhere does it state the meaning of Christ’s death? Nowhere does it proclaim a finished Atonement? Or for that matter, any Atonement at all. By its words, “He descended into Hell,” this causes confusion and bred the anti-Christ false doctrine the doctrine of Purgatory is inculcated which means to fix something firmly in somebody’s mind through frequent, forceful repetition in plain English by brainwashing you with their lies about Purgatory or with their interpretation of the Word of God!
18. It is an example of not saying what we mean, and saying what we do not mean. It is an example of ecclesiastical lying that Jesus warns us about otherwise this brain washing creed does not mean a thing! To a biblical born again, spirited fill believer, who has put all of their faith and trust in Christ alone!
