WRITTEN THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE....by steve finnell


The signs and miracles Jesus performed were written in the Bible that men may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing men may have life in His name.

John 20:29-31 Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believe." 30 And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. (NKJV)

Why do the various denominations write catechisms aka creed books? Denominations write creed books to indoctrinate its members and future members to accept the ideology, and principles, of their particular denomination.

Denominations do not write creed books to convince men to believe that Jesus is the Christ and the Son of God. The Bible is  conclusive proof that Jesus was a miracle worker, the Christ, and God's Son. Why would anyone need to add to the Bible, or remove doctrine from it.

Denominational creed books are books of division, not of unity in Christ.

Baptist creed books are use to teach Baptist doctrine.

Roman Catholic creed books teach Catholic doctrine.

Episcopal creed books teach Episcopal doctrine.

Mennonite creed books teach Mennonite. doctrine.

Methodist creed books teach Methodist doctrine.

The Bible teaches God's doctrine. The Bible does not teach different denominational doctrines. The Bible does not teach multiple ways of being saved. The Bible teaches about one church, the church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

If creed books are simply repeating Scriptures, then they are not needed. If creed books are adding to or removing Scriptures, then creed books are sinful.
