Why is it that creeds, confessions, catechisms are so demonized.
Would someone who thinks that they are evil break down something like the Apostles Creed and demonstrate where it deviates from Biblical doctrine?
The BullSchmitt pious phrase “No Creed but Christ” is by definition a creed.
Well, it is sort of a mindless chant. In Matthew 6:7 Jesus was against chanting.
Catholics and for that matter Methodists can take that repetitious stuff too far. I once worked with a Catholic lady that was going through some emotional distress because of an unplanned pregnancy outside of marriage. She would get in the truck and play a tape of some kind of hail Mary mother of God chant over and over and pull on some beads. I told her it was no wonder so much bad stuff was going on in the world because she was keeping God tied up listening to her.
Not to be a nit picker, but wasn’t it Mary who she was “keeping tied up”?
