Back to the Creeds?

Scot McKnight makes a good case for the creeds...

Instead of identifying with only one “brand” of the Christian faith, those who appeal to the creeds to identify the basic content of their faith are able to appeal to the core of the Church through all time and everywhere. Essentially, “orthodoxy” believes that there is an identifiable content to the Christian faith and that it can be articulated. No one has ever explained the creeds as expressing all of that faith, but it has always been a conviction that the central creedal statements are at the core of that faith. Denial of which jeopardizes Christian faith.

Let's see if I get this right:

Augustine said, "In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, and in all things charity."

Love that one.

Marc, I love that one too and have recited too many times to remember.

[Matt Stone]

I totally agree with him on this.
