For part 10 of 12 on “What is the Nicene Creed?” we unpack this lines:"We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church."... which can feel strange, or outright ironic, when you are in a church that doesn't get along with ... the church across the street. How can we proclaim we are ONE church when Christianity is so obviously divided? How could the church 1700 years ago claim this, when division goes back to James and John vying to sit at the right hand of Jesus when he came into glory? We bring in scholar and priest, The Rev. Dr. Valerie Bailey, to speak with us and muddle through what it means to (1) be a church in the tradition of the apostles and (2) aspire for such holy unity. The Rev. Dr. Valerie Bailey Fisher The Rev. Valerie Bailey Fischer serves at Williams College as the chaplain. She has more than 11 years of college chaplaincy experience, nearly a decade in ordained ministry and strong foundations in experiential education and social justice. Raised in the African-American Pentecostal tradition, Bailey Fischer joined the Episcopal Church as a young adult. She has a B.A. from Penn State and an M.Div. from Union Theological Seminary. She is completing a dissertation in Anglican studies and U.S. Episcopal Church history at General Theological Seminary.+++Like what you hear? We are an entirely crowd-sourced, you-funded project.

For part 9 of 12 on “What is the Nicene Creed?” we unpack these lines:"We believe in the Holy Spirit,The Lord, the Giver of Life,Who proceeds from the Father and the Son,With the Father and the Son S/He is worshipped and glorified;S/He has spoken through the Prophets."The Holy Spirit is probably God's most misunderstood person of the Trinity ... and yet, the one who is our Advocate, guide, Wisdom, and companion. So we spend a little time understanding where She fits in the big picture of Christianity, how we might discern between what is anxiety and the voice of God within us, and what exactly is the "Filioque" and the Great Schism debate about. +++Like what you hear?

For part 8 of 12 on “What is the Nicene Creed?” we unpack these lines:he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.Ok so Jesus was born (Christmas), lived and did ministry and healed and taught and stuff, then was killed (Good Friday), and rose again (Easter) before he ... ascended into heaven. It's a big deal, but probably the most confusing part of his story on earth? So we called our most-listened to guest, our brilliant friend, the Rev. (future-Dr.!) Kelli Joyce, to unpack this for us.

Gary concludes his response to a recent video discussion about his eschatological views. The host references a book that refers to the creeds and confessions as "guardrails" that keep biblical exegesis within the "bounds" of orthodoxy. In reality, they are elevating the creeds (at least the ones they recognize as authoritative) above what the Bible actually says.
In this episode of Creedal, we discuss what the Incarnation reveals about human dignity and apply those lessons to the ongoing debate about assisted suicide in the UK. Zac provides a detailed overview of the proposed legislation on assisted suicide, arguing against it from both moral and policy perspectives, and highlighting the dangers of framing such issues in a misleading way. In this conversation, Zac discusses the complex issues surrounding assisted dying legislation, emphasizing the need for a nuanced understanding of dignity, autonomy, and the healthcare system. He critiques the slippery slope of assisted suicide laws, highlighting the potential for abuse and the importance of palliative care. Zac argues for the necessity of hope in end-of-life decisions and the ethical responsibilities of healthcare providers. Takeaways Mass hysteria reflects humanity's chronic existential anxiety. Advent serves as a reminder to place hope in Jesus. The incarnation elevates human dignity and opens possibilities for eternal life. Assisted suicide is currently being debated in the UK Parliament. The UK has a long-standing prohibition against assisted suicide since 1961. The recent second reading of the bill indicates majority support in Parliament. Assisted suicide raises significant moral and practical concerns. Public support for assisted dying is often framed misleadingly. Dignity in dying is a term used to garner support for assisted suicide. Assisted suicide is always a bad idea from both moral and policy standpoints. A lack of autonomy does not diminish dignity. Canada's assisted suicide statistics are alarming. Coercion can be implicit in decisions about assisted suicide. Palliative care should be prioritized over assisted suicide. Hope is essential in discussions about end-of-life care. Sound Bites "Our ultimate hope lies in Jesus Christ." "Mass hysteria is a feature of humanity." "Advent is a time to reassess our hope." "This is a giant sea change for the UK." "Assisted suicide is always a problem." "Assisted suicide is bad policy." "We have a broken healthcare system." "Autonomy does not change your dignity." Chapters 00:00- Introduction and Context of Current Events 02:32 - The Significance of Advent and Human Dignity 08:37 - Assisted Suicide: The UK Debate 22:47 - Arguments Against Assisted Suicide 42:30 - The Importance of Hope in End-of-Life Decisions
In discourse of regulative and normative principles of worship, an element that subsists as a crucial source of contention is that of creedal employment in Christian worship gatherings. Certainly, there is no explicit command to employ such confessions. Nonetheless, the value of creedal texts has been observed for centuries, since the early church, and even prior. This paper will contend for an unapologetic use of creeds in worship on a threefold basis. 1) The historic creeds, derived from Scripture, present a survey of the gospel, 2) creeds point to a deeper biblical reality and serve as springboards into the mysteries of the faith, and 3) creeds are historically tested and tried, leaving little room for error.
Introduction A. Preliminaries Welcome to the start of our new sermon series on The Apostles' Creed. We will be going line-by-line through one of the earliest Christian Confessions of Faith, and understanding why each line is so important for our understanding of Christianity itself and the work of the…
Disagree, agree, or have a question: Contact us through the contact page on our website; http://www.biblebulldog.com What more do they need to believe and understand than the teenager who was converted last Sunday morning on his first visit to the church? “Every heretic has his text.”? Creeds Reflect the Ministerial Authority of the Church. “Creeds are corporate documents which are authored and owned by corporate churches.” “As Protestants, we are of course naturally wary of any kind of claims for church authority that would place the church over Scripture or exhibit any tendencies we associate with Roman Catholicism.” “Instant gratification.” “Many of us are inclined to believe that if something does not make sense the first time we look at it, it - and not we - must be wrong.” “Respect for the authority of the church and respect for the creeds and confessions that churches adopt must become an important part of our Christian lives if we are to be truly biblical.” Creeds Represent the Maximum Doctrinal Competence That Can Be Expected from a Congregation. “Many countries have laws that its citizens know will be broken.” “Laws set before us a vision of the kind of society we would like to see realized.” “Creeds send a signal to the congregation about what the church considers to be important.” “If a church has a six-point creed she essentially communicates to her people that these six things, and only these, are important.” We would not want to exclude from membership the educationally challenged? “The church should not send a signal to the congregation that members should simply be satisfied with a basic, mere Christianity.” God expects us to grow. “Thus, the questions ministers need to ask themselves are: What vision do we wish to give our people, from the most recent convert to the long-established church member? Is a creed a stick with which to beat people with? “This should also lead us to be wary of the role parachurch organizations play in the Christian life. They are to serve the church not vice versa.” “They can be a helpful and encouraging activity but should not supplant the absolute priority of the local church.” Creeds Relativize the Present. “If something has proved significant over the centuries, one can have a reasonable degree of confidence that it is of importance to more than just this day and generation.” “Creeds speak to issues that the church has found important for generations.” Is confessional revision always a possibility? Do the creeds connect us to the past and indicate that our identity is rooted in that past? Is this kind of counterculturalism important? Creeds Help to Define One Church in Relation to Another. Church members are able to point others to a succinct summary of the church's position on key doctrines. “It is convenient, honest, and transparent. It leaves nobody in any doubt about what the church is and what she teaches.” Creeds Are Necessary for Maintaining Corporate Unity. “We live in an age that fears exclusion.” “Churches have often been part of the problem, not the solution.” Brought about phrases like “love unites, doctrine divides” and “belonging before believing”. Does the Bible characterizes deviation from true doctrine as divisive? “Not all who cry “Lord, Lord” have a real saving knowledge of God.” Is exclusion necessary in the church? “Creeds establish boundaries of belonging and exclusion. Both are necessary if the church is to have a meaningful corporate identity and unity.” Can creeds cause Church discipline to be necessary? “More often, unity will manifest itself with the congregation reciting (and rejoicing in) the words of the creeds on Sunday mornings.” Conclusion. “Each of the above points is grounded in the apostle Paul's concern for the health of the church through her careful stewardship of God's truth, and the handing of that down from generation to generation.” May God help us to be faithful stewards of His truth. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/biblebulldog/message
Disagree, agree, or have a question: Contact us through the contact page on our website; http://www.biblebulldog.com Creeds Offer Succinct and Thorough Summaries of the Faith. Is there anything that offers a more thorough summary of the faith than the historic creeds and confessions? Two related aspects of using historical creeds: First, creeds focus the church's mind on the main things. Longevity. Why is this important? Is it unlikely for a church that holds to a historic creed to become sidetracked by the issues of the passing moment? Does it help to focus instead on the great theological categories that touch on matters of eternal significance? Second, the succinctness of creeds. “Today we have the woeful influence of things like Wikipedia in leading some to think that all important knowledge can be swiftly grasped in short sentences and after a few minutes of cursory reading.” “Would one really want to have a church confession that said nothing about the doctrine of Scripture, the doctrine of God, the nature of justification and sanctification, the definition of the church, and so on?” “A church confession needs a level of complexity in order for each of its doctrines to be stable and to function correctly.“ Does the history of doctrine in the church give ample witness to this fact? Creeds Allow for Appropriate Discrimination between Members & Office-bearers. Should laypeople be required to subscribe to a church's doctrinal standards in the same way as an elder or deacon? “Typically, Presbyterians set the bar for full communicant church membership very low: a simple but publicly coherent profession of faith in the line of Romans 10:9-10 is sufficient.” Qualifications of teachers: 1 Timothy 1:1-7 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope, To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith. The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion, desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions. “the careful communication of the faith in a manner that focuses on the straight forward teaching of the gospel.” “maturity and discernment” “He is also to make sure that his ambition is to teach, not to be a teacher.” What is the difference? So, in order to teach, the teacher is to have a certain competence in doctrine that does not typically mark the church member. Is the ability to teach nonnegotiable? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/biblebulldog/message
Disagree, agree, or have a question: Contact us through the contact page on our website; http://www.biblebulldog.com “Two important aspects of pastors: doctrinal competence and authority. That the two are linked is crucial.” Doctrinal competence without authority. What are the consequences of this? Authority without doctrinal competence. Same question. “In order to establish church power within appropriate limits, several things need to be in place:” First, there needs to be a clear understanding of what the church is. It's stated purpose. Are some church's purpose confusing to people? Second, there needs to be a statement of the church's beliefs; a creed or confession of faith. Would this confession describe the message which the church is to preach? Would it limit the church's power to what is contained within that document? Third, there needs to be a set of procedures that articulate and define how the confession of faith is to be practically applied within the congregation. Paul had to address issues of the abuse of church power. Galatians 5:12-13, the teaching that the Galatians need to be circumcised. “The NT church's power is delimited by the Gospel.” “We see a similar situation in Colossians 2:16 - Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. Was this connected to a dictatorial church eldership? In these contexts, could confessions be helpful? How else could we create a church community where what is regarded as normal belief and practice is publicly stated in such a fashion: that it expresses biblical teaching, can be challenged and tested in the light of Scripture, and allows both elders and laypeople to know exactly where they stand in relationship to each other? Does a creed or confession guarantee that abuse of power will not take place? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/biblebulldog/message

Disagree, agree, or have a question: Contact us through the contact page on our website; http://www.biblebulldog.com “In this last chapter I want to conclude by listing a series of further advantages that the church can enjoy if she gives creeds their proper place in her daily life.” All Churches & All Christians Have Creeds and Confessions. “No church or Christian simply believes the Bible.” What is a Bible believing church? When asked by a friend what the Bible teaches, how do we usually answer them? (we all try to offer a summary of what the Bible says.) When we reflect on how we read the Bible, does what we think as a whole shape how we understand individual verses, chapters, & books? “Paul gives an imperative for the church and her leadership: the stable transmission of the gospel from one generation to another.” How do creeds fulfill this vital role? “Some say they have no creed, but they just will not write it down and allow you to look at it and scrutinize it in the light of Scripture.” Why do you think this is true? “A confession is not enough. The church also needs mechanisms to ensure that, on the one hand, the confession does not become an unassailable idol and, on the other hand, that it is not subject to arbitrary wild interpretation.” Become a mere ritual. How can a creed become an idol? “Imagine a church that has “no creed but the Bible”, where the minister one week is convinced that baptism should be restricted to only professing believers and the next week changes his mind and thinks babies can be baptized too. Can he be held to account?” “If he thinks the Bible teaches Pelagianism one Sunday and Calvinism the next, who is to contradict him and how could they do so?” Confessions Delimit (sets boundaries) the Power of the Church. “Creeds serve to delimit the power of the church and of her officer-bearers.” “This is possibly one of the most important functions confessional documents can fulfill.” Why is this true? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/biblebulldog/message

Pastor Seth Clemmer
A while back, James Lindsay raised several legitimate questions about Christian Nationalism. In this episode, Pastor Joel Webbon plainly answers them. 1) Sometimes Christian Nationalism suggests that we'll have some kind of magisterial state led by Christians. Which Christians? Who has the right theology? Who has the wrong theology? Creedal, not confessional; 5 Solas. 2) Do we get a state church? A Christian Prince (Pope?) as ruler? Christian “princes,” yes. Christian pope, no. 3) Do we get three-letter agencies enforcing religious law? No police state. You will have far more freedom. 4) It has been said that "atheism will not be tolerated" and "will be stamped out," how is that going to be accomplished? Through proper education. 5) Do you believe in the 1st Amendment? All of it? Yes. No favoring one particular religion “of our common Lord.” Adopt a distinctly Christian Preamble. #ZambiaForever #BlackLawsMatter 6) Do gays deserve tolerance? If not, would you want to execute gays? No police state. The closet is a safe space. Restore the grace of shame. Public celebration will not be tolerated. #UgandaForever #BlackLaws Matter 7) Do you prefer to live in a community of mainly only white people? Do you believe black people can be integrated successfully into the American population and form a cohesive and peaceful nation? Prefer to live with Christian Americans, skin pigmentation is of no account. Many black people in American can trace their lineage as Americans further back than many white people can. Illegal immigration would be stopped, legal immigration would be significantly mitigated. 8) Since it's a small minority view, how will it be implemented? Will you win over the population? How? Will it be forced? How? And by whom? Top-down without violence (LGBT replaced the American flag with a rainbow in 40 years with less than 3% of the population), also bottom-up through obeying the Great Commission. 9) How patriarchal will the system be? Can women vote? Will they have to cover their heads? Stay home? 19th Amendment will eventually be repealed. No and no. *Ministry Sponsors:* *Squirrelly Joes Coffee - Caffeinating The Modern Reformation* *Visit squirrellyjoes.com to purchase your coffee today!* *Private Family Banking:* *Email at banking@privatefamilybanking.com or call 830-339-9472 to schedule an appointment today!* To support Right Response Ministries, visit: https://rightresponseministries.com/donate Subscribe to our Theology Applied podcast below: Apple podcast: https://bit.ly/theologyapplied Spotify podcast: https://bit.ly/theologyappliedspotify Google Play podcast: https://bit.ly/theologyappliedgooglepodcast *If you live in the Austin area, Pastor Joel just started planting a brand new church called Covenant Bible Church in Hutto, Texas.

On today's episode of Creedal, I'm joined by Dr. Abigail Favale of the University of Notre Dame. Abigail shares her intellectual journey from exvangelical feminist scholar to faithful daughter of the Church, and shares a helpful summary of the intellectual history of feminism that brought us to the radical conclusions of today's gender identity ideology. Along the way, she highlights some of the philosophical tensions and inconsistencies of modern gender theory, painting a far more beautiful picture of human sexuality that is grounded in God's love for each one of us. Dr. Favale's book, The Genesis of Gender, is available wherever books are sold, I cannot recommend it highly enough!

How to defend the incarnation when a Jehovah's Witness visits
In this interlude episode, I argue that the fundamental problem with "theology" is that it reduces scriptural faith into something that is to be "believed" rather than "lived out" in obedience to a command.

As part of the continuing excursus on the idea of Predestination and Election, Ian leads us through a study of Romans 9-11. While it is by no means, comprehensive, this overview shows Paul's radical redefinition of Israel according to his expanded views of monotheism, election, and eschatology. In this study, Ian shows how Gentile believers gain their access to salvation through Israel. He also solidifies this notion of Christ as the New Israel and establishes the perfection of God in this divine plan.
Continuing our series on Systematic Theology according to The Apostles' Creed, Ian delves into the first stanza "I believe in God the Father Almighty." He discusses the nature of God's Eternity - is God outside of time or inside of time? - and introduces the concept of God's Omnipresence. Special Listener's Note: Due to some unforeseen technical difficulties rendering the audio virtually unsalvageable, there is a gap between this episode and the last. We do apologize for the inconvenience, but hope that you will continue to listen.
In this lesson, Ian continues to tackle the ideas of God's Omnipresence and introduces the Doctrine of Immutability. Ian spends a good deal of time understanding God as Spirit, then moving to the idea that God cannot be changed because in Him is all knowledge; nothing catches God by surprise! Special Listener's Note: Due to some unforeseen technical difficulties rendering the audio virtually unsalvageable, there is a gap between this episode and the last. We do apologize for the inconvenience, but hope that you will continue to listen.
This week Ian finishes up the Doctrine of God's Immutability. He emphasizes the key point that God is incapable of change in light of His other infinite attributes. Then Ian explains how all of these infinite attributes tie together and begins to discuss how they might influence our understanding of God's personal attributes.
After last week's introduction to God's Providence, one of Ian's class members asked for clarification on the meaning of "predestination." This week begins a multiple part study on the concept of predestination and election which will end with a study on Romans 9-11. Ian spends time contextualizing the thought of Paul as a First Century Jewish Pharisee living under Roman occupation within the abiding influence of Greco-Roman philosophy. Special Listener's Note: This week's audio has been heavily processed in order to make it more intelligible. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope you will continue to listen.
This week Ian explores St. Paul's Theology of Predestination and Election by examining the whole of Paul's New Testament writings. Ian points out that St. Paul centers these ideas around his expanded understandings of Monotheism, Election, and Eschatology. This lesson comes as a continuation of the previous lesson the concepts of Predestination and Election.
