Re: What Catholics really believe!!!! It's all in the Nicene Crede!!!!
Op. You know damn well that the creed is sort of comparable to The preamble to the constitution of the United states.

You also know likewise that the universal Catholic church has many more laws and doctrines not represented in the creed, just as the US has many more statute and doctrines not represented in the constitution.

Op I know that to attack an institution you must understand what they stand-what is there universal belief- everything is just interpret ion!
 Quoting: Oxi moran



Ahh I see the problem clearly. Your self identity is so wrapped up in the organization that you interpret an attack on that organization as an attack on you.

The problem is not Catholic people Op. It's the organization.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70389926


So let me get this straight you can't find anything in their central document to criticize?
 Quoting: Oxi moran


Yeah, seriously what is your point. I mean if you're going to make a thread like this, then take item by item and why you disagree with it. You're thread makes no sense whatsoever.

Re: What Catholics really believe!!!! It's all in the Nicene Crede!!!!
The Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed is more relevant since the holy spirit hadn't yet been promoted to person and co-equal God in the original Nicene Creed. Those creeds also applies to Protestants and pretty much any trinitarian denomination. Pledging allegiance to the mother church they call harlot.

Here I'll help you out a bit. I was raised Lutheran and we were made to recite a version of it. I had a problem with being forced to recite things in general, I do not feel it is from the heart then. There are several versions of Niceene Creed.



The first part I had the problem with was God of God Light of Light. Are they saying he is god of light? What exactly does that mean anyways, makes no sense.



The other part I had a problem with was:

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. Now in later years they took the Catholic out in some protestant churches, however, the meaning is still there. Personally, I don't put my faith in any church. We are not to put our faith in the church, but in God himself.

No, you are incorrect. That may be true of some bigger mainline Protestant churches, but there are plenty that know the truth. The Catholic church wasn't even start until 300 AD. Pretty much Catholics hijacked true Christianity and merged it with pagan Rome. Peter was no where near the first pope, that is complete blasphemy.

peter (if existed[he didn't but whatever]) was entrusted by jesus to start a church.
since catholics are the only ones claiming peter started the church, they are right.

no judge would dare to say otherwise, since there is a law, that says, if I have a coat, and someone claims I stole it from him, that person has to prove I indeed stole it from him before the court can rule the coat be returned to him.

no since no one but the rcc, claims peter created their church, rcc is the church peter created.

mmmm if you think rome hijacked Christianity, is because you are talking about outdated official version of history, recent discoveries teach us ROME CREATED CHRISTAINITY rome was involved in Christianity since day one.

I believe in one God,

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,

through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven

He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
