I'm not your son. Your platitude is wasted on me.

Welcome to the forum. You've made quite a first impression.
Pride will be your down fall.

Indeed you are fattened and prepared for the Anti-christ.

Only those humble of heart, will be able to endure the Anti-christ.

You you have been warned.

Pray to the Angel of the Apocalypse, he will help you.

Ok.

But could you fellowship with someone that denies that Jesus resurrected?

Yea, nay?

Does not Saint Paul say something about that?

You might wanna check that out.
Fellowship with non believers in worship is not an issue. It's not the issue I am referng to. Fellowshipping with non-believers outside of the context of worship is essential to reach them with the gospel.
Creeds were never used to kick people out of church alone... If those who disagreed with the Creed didn't repent, they were barbecued.

During the time of the Apostles 33AD, what was the literacy rate among the people?

Probably quite good.

“And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.” (Colossians 4:16)

“I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.” (1 Thessalonians 5:27)

It wasn’t bad in the Old Testament either:

“And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient.” (Exodus 24:7)

“And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law. There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.” (Joshua 8:34-35)

“And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.” (2 Kings 23:2)

“So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.” (Nehemiah 8:8)

Like Jesus raising the widow of Naim’s son, thorough the power of Christ St. Vincent stopped a funeral procession and commanded the corpse to rise, restoring the dead man to life. In all, he restored 28 dead people back to life. Even after he died, two dead people placed on his tomb came back to life

Sorry man I don't believe that.

There have always been naysayers among the brethren of the Church, good example, Saint Thomas the doubter.

Among the elders of the Church and Levitical Priests, and Rabbi' yes.

But among the commoners:
"Literacy rates in the ancient world were very low. Less than ten percent of the population would have been able to read and write, and only the wealthy were likely to receive an education."

Nice try though.

Your incredible display of vanity and pompous pontificating are impressing no one but yourself.

Your arrogance in your tone of familiarity with people of which you know nothing is remarkable, even for a new member (and we get a lot of strange ones). You're quite a novelty, I'll give you that.


It is quite obvious to me from what you have stated thus far that you wouldn't know the antichrist beast (or how to avoid its mark) if it bit you in the posterior.


If it's all the same to you (or even if it's not)
, I'll continue to pray to the Father in Jesus's name.

And if you're in the habit of praying to angels, as a Christian of 50 years, I'd advise you to cease that practice immediately, lest you be found trampling the law of God underfoot.

Quite ironically, the one thing that would protect you from the mark of the beast is that which you have specifically instructed me to disregard and which, by the way, is not found anywhere in the apostles' creed.

The scriptures I quoted in my last post (#163) showed that the scriptures were read to the COMMONERS and they UNDERSTOOD!

Your argument has been debunked.

Key word, being "read".

Meaning people could not read them for themselves.

Thus the importance of the Apostles Creed.

For in the Apostles Creed commoners understood the whole Christian Faith, and with simple obedience to the Faith, were protected from the errors.

No they didn’t.

Why didn’t Paul give the churches copies of this creed? Paul declare all the counsel of God!

“For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.” (Acts 20:27-28)

From the beginning overseers were to feed the church of God with all the counsel of God.

And knowledge has increased so much that many people of many languages can obtain a Bible they can read for themselves.

“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” (Daniel 12:4)

Yet it doesn’t appear anywhere in the Bible…

You are wrong.

This is the biblical guard:

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)
The difference between you and this other fellow is , YOU ARE PREACHING CHRIST , and he preaches THE CC . ONe wont make it
on the path they are on . We must preach and teach JESUS CHRIST and my advice is let no man , woman or child
enter into convenant with a HARLOT . Be joined with CHRIST and let us flee all places that are contrary to Christ .

You already know my advice , DONT HEED HER CALL AT ALL . WE must follow CHRIST .

Saint Paul was not one of the original 12 Apostles (save Judas Iscariot).

The Apostles Creed preceded Saint Paul.

The common person in those days were laboring most the time.

And there was no new Testament put together yet.

The early Christians had to go off memory.

And so shall it be in the time of the Anti-christ, Bibles will be illegal.

Only those who hold to the Apostles Creed, and its 12 articles or pillars of Faith, will be able to endure the onslaught of the Anti-christ.

Only the lost say such things.

I will pray to your guardian Angel, to guide you out of your cave into the the light.

One cannot hope to be saved without Charity.

By your words of condemnation, you prove yourself to be a minister of the Anti-christ.

Our Lord said:
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Matthew 10:22

I warned you out of Charity.

That is following the 10 commandments, love of neighbor.

But the fiends whisper into your ear: vanity, pompous, arrogance, novelty.

This is what you hear?

Indeed your forehead is wiped clean, ready for the mark of the Beast.

You preach reason & intellect.

But I preach Faith, Hope, Charity.

Learn from your elders the importance of praying to Angels.

The only thing that is ironic, is that after these 50 years, you wouldn't know the authentic Faith, if it hit you in the face.

I will pray unto your guardian Angel to deliver you out of your cave, and into the Church.
