Creeds, catechisms, and the proposed source of unity
Claim examined: Church identity and unity
Scriptural Answer
I wrote, "This is true because men would rather believe what someone has written in a creed or catechism instead of what God has PLAINLY revealed in His Word. True unity will ONLY come if men lay down all of their creeds and catechisms and seek to be led by the ONLY source of authority God has left to us and that is His Word the Bible" To which Paul replied: "Ummm, excuse me, but ... the Creed and Catechism belong to ONE Church, which has NOT fragmented into thousands of conflicting denominations. The "Bible only" approach belongs to a modern tradition which HAS fragmented into thousands of conflicting denominations. How do you explain this observable historical fact? By their fruits shall ye know them." Yes, we will know them "by their fruits". I have already explained this to you about Catholic "fruits" on another thread. Creeds and Catechisms are the reason the world is divided today. The "Bible only" approach does NOT belong to a "modern tradition" as you FALSELY assert, but is the ONLY means of TRUE UNITY.
