Well, it's been 21 days since I've posted on this blog. Do you know what that means? That I'm not resting enough and I'm not relying enough on God. It means I'm busy and spending too much time on too many things.
Last night we put our kids to bed at 7:45. As soon as they laid down, I did too. I slept for 11 hours. I honestly do not remember a time that I slept for more than 8 hours! Most nights I get about 6. I was tired.
Spiritually, I do feel like God is teaching me many things. One of which is that He is in control. I might be the one driving the car, but HE is steering the wheel! That sounds simple, but for a thick head like me, it's not. I love being in control of things and knowing what's going to happen at every minute of everyday. Hmmmm.... that just doesn't always work out for me!
What about you? Are you finding physical rest? Spiritual rest? Remember, when God is in control, He does the worrying, thinking and planning! That makes it a little easier for me to rest.
ARE CREED BOOKS GOD'S WORD?-by steve finnell
ReplyDeleteCreed books used in most Christian denominations are the authoritative book used as the final authority in faith and practice. The question is should creed books be the final authority or should the Scriptures be only the word of authority and the final word?
Are creed books Scripture? Are creed books the inerrant word of God? Are creed books written by God or are they composed by men?
CAN YOU USE THE WORD CREED BOOK AND SCRIPTURE INTERCHANGEABLY?
2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,(NKJV)
Would is be accurate to translate 2 Timothy 3:16 All Creed books are given by inspiration of God....? Of course not, man-made creed books are not Scripture.
John 2:22 Therefore,when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.(NKJV)
Jesus never quoted from the man-made creed books of the scribes, Sadducees or Pharisees. Man-made creeds were not a tool Jesus use to teach the truth.
Acts 8:30-38.....35 Then Philip open his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him.....(NKJV)
Philip use the Scripture to preach to the eunuch. He did not use a creed book filled with the opinions of men.
Jesus, the apostles, deacons, and all Christians mention in the Bible taught from the Scriptures, they did not use man-made creed books.
CREED BOOKS ARE NOT SCRIPTURES. THEY ARE NOT THE INERRANT WORD OF GOD.
