Hi,
I gotta go with made with those choices.
There are good reasons why there are 50,000 Protestant denominations and some even better reasons why they broke off from the Catholic/Orthodox traditions….
I personally have come to believe we are to follow Christ. His sheep literally hear His voice, what you think doesn't amount to a hill of beans -- GOD WILL DO IT HIS WAY - my personal theology is more about submitting to His will in my life than arguing about doctrines. Doctrinal arguments haven't seemed to improve the Church in 2000 years and the best and most brilliant thinkers of many ages devoted their lives and often gave their lives for the correct doctrines.
I am satisfied believing the Nicene Creed.
here is a wiki link to the main Creeds accepted by all Christian denominations
List of Christian creeds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I look more at apologetics as a way to answer unbelievers than a way to change believers who have differing doctrines. I have found it unfruitful and even with cults, arguments seem to just entrench them or turn them from seekers to atheists.
This is just what I 'think' the Lord has lead me to, after wasting too many years trying to get it right…. the only right is Christ. Finding that most Christians that think they are 'all' right are more obnoxious than Christians who are humbling seeking the Lord's word, for me has proven my point. Again, this is a personal thought, I bless you as you seek wisdom.
I have seen unity only in the Holy Spirit, His church is not a social club where one size fits all, it is good when the brethren dwell together in unity. I have only personally experienced that in Charismatic circles, but all are welcome into my circle. As long as they don't insist I have to believe exactly as they do...
God bless, andrea
