Had I relied upon your creeds I would have never found God. The answer to 'Believe what?' is found in His Word... As is the proof.
That seems too often the Roman Catholic approach in practice, whether that’s in theory too I am not privy to enough to say. Teach um some platitudes; don’t face them with a decision to accept the Lord, that’s too too PROTESTANT! (Many Roman Catholics DO come to personal faith though, and there’s not a one they have declared sainted that hasn’t, to my knowledge.)
I’m not sure if you do know the Apostles Creed, becuase it all came from Scripture.
I believe in God, (in Scripture)
the Father almighty, (in Scripture)
Creator of heaven and earth (in Scripture)
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, (in Scripture)
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit (in Scripture)
born of the Virgin Mary, (in Scripture)
suddered under Pontius Pilate, (in Scripture)
was crucified, died and was buried; (in Scripture)
he descended into hell; (in Scripture)
on the third day he rose again from the dead; (in Scripture)
he ascended into Heaven (in Scripture)
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty, (in Scripture)
deom there he will come to judge the living and the dead. (in Scripture)
I blieve in the Holy Spirit (in Scripture)
the holy catholic Church, (in Scripture)
the communion of saints, (in Scripture)
the forgiveness of sins, (in Scripture)
the resurrection of the body. (in Scripture)
and life everlasting. Amen (in Scripture)
These exact words may not all be in Scripture but references to them are — such as Christ speaking to the Good Thief, and the souls of the just arising from their tombs and wandering around Jerusalem, visible only to the believers.
So believe!
