If you want to be Set Free in 2023, you must detach yourself from the
world and attach yourself to
•
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We observed his glory, the glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14, CSB)
• The Word is
as found in the
teachings and
Two Main Universal Creeds:
1) Apostle’s Creed (340, 700 AD)
2) Nicene Creed (325, 381 AD)
Nicene-Constantinople Creed (381 AD)
Paterology: We believe in one God, Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible;
(Gen 1-2; Deut 6; Ex 6:3; Matt 6:9, 23:9; Eph 4:6; Col 1:15-16)
Christology (theologia): and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the one of a kind (only begotten), from the Father, born (begotten) of the Father before all things, Light from Light, true God from true God, born (begotten) not made, consubstantial (of the same substance) with the Father; through whom all things came to pass;(oikonomia): for the sake of mankind and for our salvation, he descended from the heavens and was incarnated by the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary; became man; was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered, and was buried, rising on the third day according to the Scriptures; ascended into the heavens, sitting at the right hand of the Father, and coming again with glory to judge the living and the dead, and of whose kingdom there will be no end;
(Rom 10:9, 12, 14:9; Matt 14:3, 16:16; Jn 1:1-2; Ps 27:1; Jn 8:12; Matt 17:2,5; Jn 17:1-5; Jn 1:18; Jn 10:30; Heb 1:1-2; 1 Tim 2:4-5; Jn 6:33, 35; Lk 1:35; Jn 1:4; Mk 15:25; 1 Cor 15:3; Jn 19:6; Mk 8:31; Lk 23:53; 1 Cor 15:4; Lk 24:11; 1 Cor 15:4; Lk 24:51; Acts 7:55; Mt 24:27; Acts 10:42; 2 Tim 4:1; 2 Pet 1:11, 4:5)
Pneumatology: and in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and life-giver, who proceeds from the Father, who together with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who spoke through the prophets; (Gen 1:1; Jn 14:26; Eph 1:13-14; Gen 1:2; Jn 15:26; Matt 3:16-17; 1 Sam 19:20; Ezek 11:5, 13; 2 Pet 1:21)
Ecclesiology, Soteriology and Eschatology: in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. We confess one baptism for forgiveness of sins. We expect the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen. (Matt 16:18; 1 Pet 2:5, 9; Acts 2:42; Eph 2:19-22; Eph 4:5; Acts 2:38; Jn 11:24; 1 Cor 15:12-49; Heb 6:2; Rev 20:5; Mk 10:29-30).
Anathemas (325 version): Those who say, ‘There was when he was not’, and ‘He was not before he was born’ and that he came to be from nothing, or those who claim that the Son of God is from another hypostasis or essence, (or created), or alterable, or mutable are anathematized by the catholic and apostolic church.
