ARE CREED BOOKS GOD'S WORD?-by steve finnell

Creed 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.
