Editor Graphic; The earliest form
of the "Apostles' Creed so-caled,
can be traced back to between a. y.
$50 and 175, and il is as follows:
81 blieve in God the Father Almighty.
and in Christ Jesus His Son, who
was born of Mary, tie virgin, was
crucfied under PGntius plate AMI
buried; on the third day rose from
the dead, ascended into heaven, Sit
teth ON the right hand of the Father,
froll whence He cGmeth to d@e t.'f.
ll ick and the dead; and i" the Holy
Ghost, and resurrection of the flesh, :,
All this is sound doctrine, taught
by the Bible, and all Christians can
say amen to this creed. But as
the centuries rolled on controversy
began to have changes introduced In
to the original creed, so that it reads
thus: 81 believe in God the Father
Almighty (maker of heaven amt
earth). This parenthesis is an Arl-
an blow at the divinity of Christ, for
the Bible explicitly says,-John I:3:
All tIIlHSS "CIe maui Wy iiiAA
(Christ; and without Him was not
any thing made that was made" 10th
verse. "The world was made by
Him. Again-Col. rs, "For by Him
(Chlist were all things created that
are in heaven and that are in earth,
visible and invisible, whether thrones
or dominiOns Or principalitles Or
powers; all things were created by
Him and for Him
This was the principal objection to
tar present form of what is called
the "Apostles' Creed In fact, all
these parentheses injected into the
creed bring darkness rather than
light. For example. Gle descended
into hell'') teaches the English read
er an awful er, or, and is not Bible
doctrine Then the "(Cathollcl
church" is misleading expression,
etc
Fer these and other reasons, the
Presbytely of Pine Bluff overturned
the General Assembly to enjoin the
committee not to publish the ''Apos-
ties Creed in the "Confessicn or
Faith" This paper went into the
hands of the comittee on bills and
overtures, and they recommended
that the overture be not granted, and
the assembly adopted their recon-
mendaticn That is all Of it. This
hint ought to be enough for the COM
mittee to tackle the injected and par
enthes sed creed out from the types.
Pine Bluff Presbytery was named
after the city of Pine Bluff. Some
not skilled in ecclesiastical ncmen-
clature often get things confused.
