The creeds and the Scripture are not on par with one another.
We have the exact words in English to translate the original languages accurately. But back to the creeds, my definition of person is not wrong as I told you the correct word is hypostases as both are found in my dictionary. If the two words mean exactly the same thing, they would have the same definition
but the word person is used because the translators of those creeds did not translate accurately, for the word person is not sufficient in defining hypostases.
Do not despise my dictionary either, this is the life's work of a man of higher education than most anyone you would ever meet today.
"The early church laid out the Creeds, and the early church laid out the NT Canon."You are wrong, wrong, wrong.
The first council of Nicea was convened by guess who....Emperor Constantine, the founder of the Roman Catholic Church. This is also a direct quote from the Nicene Creed...."We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church."
There is not one catholic (universal) church
but as a Baptist I
"by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary" Who other than Catholics use the title...."The Virgin"? Mary is not "The Virgin", but she was "a virgin" when she concieved.
From the Anathasian Creed...."Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the catholic faith. Which faith except every one does keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly." Do you keep the catholic faith Brian?
"And the catholic faith is this, that we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;" That is Catholic my friend.
"And they that have done good shall go into life everlasting; and they that have done evil, into everlasting fire." More Catholic doctrine from this creed. We have all done evil and none of us do good, there is only one good and that is God which is why we are saved by grace through faith in Christ, not our works, or the keeping of a catholic dogma.
"This is the catholic faith; which except a man believe faithfully and firmly, he cannot be saved." So says all the catholics.
You can try to deny all you want Brian, but I am not as unlearned in these matters as you may hope.
You are not taking one thing into account. The Ana-baptists doctrine is not really recorded in that "fundamental Christian doctrine", oh wait yes it is! The BIBLE.
Also, I never argued against it,
In fact, I really believe that you don't even understand it. If you do, then answer this....How or in what way are the Father, Word, and Holy Ghost distinct from one another? What makes them different?
