We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
What you see here is what I recited in mass everyday.... the Nicene Creed. I believe every word I say of this... and I say it with pride.
My last post was trying to
defend Jews and Muslims.... I don't wish them to go to Hell. No one does. It is not our choice to decide it. I was trying to (for my sake) talk aloud about my priest's thought.... I am still confused on it. I prolly always will be.
So to those of you who gave me the third degree.... thank you for telling I'm going to Hell.... I will be sleeping peacefully knowing that I don't have to worry where I will end up after I die. But seriously.... rbf thank you for your discussion and enlightening me a little bit more of what christianity is all about.... r i'm sorry you think me to be a heretic.... current smc.... i'm glad you understood where I was coming from.... you're the only one. While those statements may not hold true knowing a little bit more than I did a few days ago.. I still hold a few statements to be true....
At least those who gave me the third degree aren't hypocrite-christians.... i will definitely give them that.
