Heretic Martin Luther ... Quote: "Be a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith."

It is certainly clear that "Creed alone" heretics are staunch supporters of the burning in Hell Martin Luther.

If one falsely maintains that knowledge of the Creed is sufficient, then one doesn’t necessarily need knowledge of the Church’s teaching on morality.

According to the "Creed alone" heresy -- someone not knowing the Church teaching on morals (morals isn’t addressed in the Creed) ... can fall into sins of: using the Lord’s Name in vain, adultery, stealing, being covetous, etc. -- and may still be able to get to Heaven because ... after all these teachings on morals are not in the Creed.

The "Creed alone" heresy has been condemned by the Church in the following Source of Dogma:

Council of Trent, Session 6, Canons on Justification, Canon 20, Ex-Cathedra >
"If any one saith, that the man who is justified and how perfect soever, is not bound to observe the commandments of God and of the Church, but only to believe; as if indeed the Gospel were a bare and absolute promise of eternal life, without the condition of observing the commandments; let him be anathema."

The "Creed alone" heretics are assisting the devil by pushing this heresy held by Luther.

"Creed alone" heretics may claim, and they probably will, that we are changing the subject from the issue of what one must believe regarding Theology (even though the Creed alone is a subset of Catholic Theology) ... but it is the "Creed alone" heretics who are changing the subject from what we must do to get to Heaven (we are saved by Faith, Grace, and Works -- all three together) to a subset, of "Faith alone".

This is a malicious attack, filled with treachery against your immortal soul by the "Creed alone" heretics -- to make people think that Sanctifying Grace and works are not also needed to get to Heaven ...

... because after all as the "Creed alone" heresy goes -- "knowledge of the Creed is sufficient."

Catholic writing of Saint James 2:14 >
"What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him."

Catholic writing of Saint James 2:24 >
"Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only."

By the "Creed alone heresy" ... we can toss the Catholic writing of Saint James out the window ... since "the Creed is sufficient."

~     ~     ~

The "sola fides" ("faith alone") heresy has been repeatedly condemned by the Church. Again, rest assured that it is "Creed alone" heretics who are maliciously changing the topic on you (away from the total requirements for salvation), by trying to make you think "faith alone" -- in this type of attack against your immortal souls.

The Church condemning the "Creed alone" heresy:
(Canons not in numerical order)

Council of Trent, Session 6, Canons on Justification, Canon 19, 1547 A.D. -- Ex-Cathedra Dogma >
"If any one saith, that nothing besides faith is commanded in the Gospel; that other things are indifferent, neither commanded nor prohibited, but free; or, that the ten commandments nowise appertain to Christians; let him be anathema."

Note: Faith alone, the knowledge of the Creed as being sufficient, is being condemned. The "Creed alone" heretics are demonically misleading people into thinking that keeping to part of the Catholic Faith is sufficient to get to Heaven when it isn't.

Note: Faith alone, the knowledge of the Creed as being sufficient, is being condemned. The "Creed alone" heretics are demonically misleading people into thinking that keeping to part of the Catholic Faith is sufficient to get to Heaven when it isn't.

Note: Faith alone, without co-operating with grace to reach justification (in water baptism) ... is being condemned.

Note: Faith alone, without works (to obey), being condemned.

Note: Faith alone, without co-operating with grace to reach justification (in water baptism), being condemned.

Note: Faith and confidence alone, without co-operating with grace to reach justification (in water baptism), being condemned.

Note: Knowledge of the Creed alone as being sufficient, and not praying for the grace of final perseverance being condemned.

Note: Knowledge of the Creed only is not sufficient, because knowledge of, and keeping of, the commandments is necessary.

The "Creed alone" heretics are deceiving souls by making people think that knowledge of the Creed is sufficient to save you from Hell. They are attacking you by changing the primary subject on you -- away from the total requirements for salvation to a subset of "faith alone".

The "Creed alone" heretics try to place people into a "faith alone" general disposition so that you ignore the requirements for works -- which brings peril and Divine chastisement against your souls in accordance with the following Catholic authored scriptures ...

Catholic writing of Saint Matthew 3:10 >
"Every tree therefore that doth not yield good fruit, shall be cut down, and cast into the fire."
 
Catholic writing of Saint Matthew 7:19 >
"Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire."
 
Catholic writing of Saint Luke 3:9 >
"Every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down and cast into the fire."
 
Catholic writing of Saint Matthew 3:12 >
"And gather his wheat into the barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."
 
Catholic writing of Saint James 2:26 >
"For even as the body without the spirit is dead; so also faith without works is dead."
 
Catholic writing of 1 Corinthians 13:2 >
"If I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing."
 
Catholic writing of Saint Matthew 25:35 >
"For I was hungry, and you gave Me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in."

Note: Corporal and Spiritual works of mercy cannot be merited to one's soul unless he is in the Catholic Church. If you do works of charity while outside the Church and at a later date become Catholic those works done while outside the Church will then be merited to your soul.
 
Catholic writing of Saint Matthew 25:33 >
"And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on His left."
 
Catholic writing of Saint Matthew 25:40 >
"And the King answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these My least brethren, you did it to Me."
 
Catholic writing of Apocalypse 20:13 >
"And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and Hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works."

If you buy into the mis-leading tenants of the "Creed alone" heretics ... your soul remains in a state of idleness in which case you are cast into the fire.

The "Creed alone" heretics are clearly saying that ignoring these Catholic writings is allowable in the eyes of God ... because after all ... "knowledge of the Creed is sufficient".

~     ~     ~

The members of the vatican-2 jew-heretic cult, which was founded on 8 December 1965, say or at least hear the Creed during their idol worship of the vatican-2 "god" on Saturday or Sunday each week.

It is safe to say that they do believe the articles of the Creed.

Is this belief in the articles of the Creed sufficient to keep the vatican-2-ists from losing their souls as the "Creed alone" heretics claim ?

The answer is: No.

The isolated knowledge of the Creed ... without wider knowledge of the Catholic Faith ... specifically that they are all automatically excommunicated for physical participation in a heretical society (the vatican-2 cult) is causing the loss of their souls.

Section 13.2 of this website lists a great many Sources of Dogma which address automatic excommunication for physically participating in a heretic cult or for believing heresy. The Catholic Ex-Cathedra Dogma on Automatic Excommunication is not addressed in the Creed.

~     ~     ~

The "Creed alone" heretics violate the below listed Sources of Dogma:

Vatican Council of 1870, Pope Pius IX, Session 2, Profession of Faith -- Ex-Cathedra Dogma >
"This true Catholic Faith, outside of which none can be saved, which I now freely profess and truly hold, is what I shall steadfastly maintain and confess, by the help of God, in all its completeness and purity until my dying breath, and I shall do my best to ensure that all others do the same. This is what I, the same Pius, promise, vow and swear."

Articles of the Faith which are part of "its completeness" and which must be kept "whole and inviolate" which are not in the Creed include:

- The Salvation Dogma (that all non-Catholics descend into Hell)
- The Immaculate Conception Dogma
- The Dogma on Water Baptism
- The Dogma on the existence of Purgatory
- The Dogma that ignorance of the Dogma causes the loss of your soul
- The Dogma on Automatic Excommunication
- The Dogma on Original Sin
- Etc.

So what do we make of the "Creed alone" thesis ... that knowledge of the Creed is sufficient? Simple, it’s false.

De Fide Catholic Dogma, Section V, God the Sanctifier, Dogma 23 >
"The three Divine or theological virtues of Faith, Hope, and Charity are infused with sanctifying grace."

Does the above De Fide Dogma imply, what the "Creed alone" thesis states?

When we look at the four Dogmatic citations cited in this Part E above, regarding keeping the whole Faith, does the above De Fide Dogma No. 23 mean ... that only those Articles of the Faith which are in the Creed are infused with sanctifying grace?

Of course not. When Gods states that the Catholic Faith is infused with sanctifying grace He must be speaking of the entire Faith, otherwise the Church would have taught the "Creed alone" thesis ... in which case De Fide Dogma 23 would read: "The Articles of the Creed are infused with sanctifying grace".
 
- - - -
 
How does God do this ?   (Infuse the grace of Faith)

Catholic writing of Saint Matthew 28:18 >
"All power is given to Me in Heaven and in earth."
 
Catholic writing of Saint John 16:13 >
"But when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will teach you all truth."
 
Catholic writing of 1 Saint John 2:27 >
"And as for you, let the unction, which you have received from Him, abide in you. And you have no need that any man teach you; but as His unction teacheth you of all things, and is truth."

Note: The "unction" is referring to the Holy Spirit.

By the above Catholic scriptures, God (with all power) has the ability to teach "all truth" and "all things" so that people can be in the justified state in the way specified in the Dogma listed at the top of this Sup-part E.

In like manner:

Catholic Faith (pre-fulfillment) writing of Isaias 59:1 >
"The hand of the Lord is not shortened that it cannot save."    (In the way the Dogma prescribes)
 
Catholic Faith (pre-fulfillment) writing of Jeremias 30:11 >
"For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee."    (In the way the Dogma prescribes)
 
Catholic Faith (pre-fulfillment) writing of Jeremias 17:14 >
"Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed: save me, and I shall be saved."    (In the way the Dogma prescribes)

~     ~     ~

Described here is how the "Creed alone" heretics are taking (or may take) the below Constantinople III text out of context.

We use the true text from Constantinople III in this Sub-part F, because using the falsified text (shown below in Sub-part G) would simply introduce more (or an additional layer) of the same deception.
 
- - - -
 
The lies and deception by the "Creed alone" heretics:

Notice that the text from Constantinople III says that the Creed was enough (in the past) for orthodox faith ... and the very next sentence states why the Creed is not sufficient for orthodox faith:

"But since from the first, the contriver of evil did not rest, finding an accomplice in the serpent and through him bringing upon human nature the poisoned dart of death, so too now he has found instruments suited to his own purpose ..."

... and goes on to explain a heretical attack against the Catholic Faith, the false teaching of Christ having one will (false) and not two (the truth).
 
- - - -
 
So the Council, in acknowledging that the heresy needs to be addressed, states that it is "defining in unison, it professes ..." -- that the two natures of Christ are perfect.

Constantinople III was simply stating that in earlier times the Creed was enough for complete knowledge of the orthodox faith, but because of heresy, the people needed more knowledge and additional defining of the Faith so that they are not deceived by the various heresies of the jews and heretics. The Council did not sit back and say: "Just believe the Creed" -- in the face of the heresy. They made a further definition to protect the souls of the Catholics.

This is shown below in the Constantinople III text ...

Council of Constantinople III, Exposition of the Faith >
"This pious and orthodox creed of the divine favour was enough for a complete knowledge of the orthodox faith and a complete assurance therein. (The "Creed alone" heretics stop quoting at this point).

But the text continues ...
"But since from the first, the contriver of evil did not rest ... sowing with novel speech among the orthodox people the heresy of a single will ..."

"Therefore Christ our God has stirred up the faithful emperor ..."   (Note: because now the Creed is not assurance)

"Following the five holy and universal synods ... defining in unison, it professes our Lord Jesus Christ ... to be perfect in divinity and perfect in humanity ... acknowledged in two natures which undergo no confusion, no change, no separation, no division; at no point was the difference between the natures taken away through the union ..."

(end Constantinople III quote)

The additional Dogmatic defining regarding the nature of Christ was required because of the promotion among the people of the "single will" heresy and so the Creed ... was no longer sufficient (because of the hazard of the heresy) for souls to know and believe the orthodox Faith.
 
- - - -
 
Again, the Council fathers did not sit back and simply say: "Believe the Creed".

This formal defense of the nature of Christ goes beyond what is addressed in the Creed, covered in two paragraphs and which is approximately 700 words, because of the heresy that was introduced.

Did the Church, down through the centuries, simply sit back and say "the Creed is sufficient" in the face of the attacks by the jews and heretics or did the Church take action to define:

The Salvation Dogma: Nine times over
The Water Baptism Dogma and requirement: Nineteen times over
The Dogma on Automatic Excommunication: Which is not in the Creed
The Dogma regarding the requirement for Abjuration: Which is not in the Creed
The Dogma regarding the requirement to keep the entire Faith: Which is not in the Creed.

The Church took action to define various unchanging Dogma at different times to fight heresy.

~     ~     ~

"Creed alone" heretics (may) throw around the below altered text of Constantinople III since by it they can more easily promote this heresy.

Sub-part F above showed how this altered extract from Constantinople III can be taken grossly out of context ... in the same manner as the correct Constantinople III text.

Constantinople III -- altered text:
"The holy and Ecumenical Synod further says, this pious and orthodox Creed of the Divine grace would be sufficient for the full knowledge and confirmation of the orthodox faith."

But on the scanned in books on the internet where you actually read the scanned hardcopy page the true Constantinople text is:

Constantinople III -- true text:
"This pious and orthodox Creed of the Divine favour was enough for a complete knowledge of the orthodox faith and a complete assurance therein."
 
- - - -
 
You can see that there are a couple of differences in these two texts, but the relevant ones for the "Creed alone" heretics to promote his heresy are:

Changed from: "was enough" (correct)
To: "would be sufficient" (altered)

Changed from: "was enough for ... a complete assurance therein" (correct)
To: "confirmation" (altered)
 
- - - -
 
Addressing the first alteration above:

If you look at the next sentence of the Constantinople III text it reads:

Constantinople III following text >
"But since from the first, the contriver of evil did not rest, finding an accomplice in the serpent and through him bringing upon human nature the poisoned dart of death, so too now he has found instruments ..."

The correct text -- "was enough" -- properly reflects this next sentence in that the Creed "was enough" for a "complete knowledge" and "complete assurance therein" ...

... but heresies, in this case the "single will" heresy caused the Creed to not be a complete assurance because heresies attack the Catholic Faith in ways which are not addressed in the Creed.

By the "Creed alone" heretics using the falsified text -- "would be sufficient" -- gives the impression that the Creed would be sufficient (presently and into the future) and an assurance of keeping the orthodox faith ... regardless of the heresies that were being spread among the people by the jews and heretics.
 
- - - -
 
Addressing the second alteration above:

The text -- "was enough for ... a complete assurance therein" -- properly reflects the next sentence where the Council fathers start to speak of the heresy attacking the Faith, in that the Creed "was enough" for "assurance" ... except for these attacks.

Because the heresies attack the Faith in areas which are not addressed in the Creed, a person could be susceptible to falling into heresy which didn’t directly oppose an article in the Creed ... so he no longer had a "complete assurance therein" ... with the Creed alone, as the Council stated in its next sentence.

With the falsified text -- "confirmation" -- the next sentence about the Faith being attacked loses its relevance because even though the Faith is being attacked by heresy ... the altered text states that one may still be "confirmed" in the Faith by the "Creed alone" ... but the "Creed alone" doesn't refute the heresies that a "Creed alone" person may end up believing ... so that he may very well not be "confirmed" in the true Catholic Faith -- by the Creed alone.
 
- - - -
 
The altered Constantinople III text is from:

Found in the Acts, Session XVIII., L. and C., Concilia, Tom. VI., col. 1019

~     ~     ~

We are all familiar with what the Church calls the Divine Commission in Saint Matthew 28.

Catholic writing of Saint Matthew 28:19-20 >
"Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you."

Again, we see by this text that the "Creed alone" thesis is false.

Why didn’t Jesus simply tell Saint Matthew (and the rest of us) -- "The Creed is sufficient".

Since it is God’s will that all men be saved, wouldn’t it be a great deal easier for all of us to get to Heaven if Jesus would have instructed simply "Teach the Creed, that is sufficient" -- instead of "all things whatsoever I have commanded" ?

Clearly "Teach the Creed, that is sufficient" would result in many more people getting to Heaven, but God did not say this and since we are not supposed to ask "why questions" -- we simply accept the direction to "observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you".

This is further proof that the "Creed alone" thesis is in opposition to God.

~     ~     ~

We are all familiar with the Catholic writing where Christ informs us of the sending of the Paraclete.

Catholic writing of Saint John 16:12-13 >
"I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now. But when he, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will teach you all truth."

Here, Jesus is saying that the Holy Spirit will teach the Church all truth which the Apostles cannot currently bear.

Is this "all truth" only what is in the Creed?

Wouldn’t it be a lot easier to get more people into Heaven if  "all truth"  was only the Creed? It would be easier, but this is not God’s will and we are not allowed to ask ... "Why didn't God make the 'Creed alone' all truth" ... since this would get more people into Heaven.

The "Creed alone" heretics state that we can all sit back and ignore this scripture ... but there is a problem with this ... it would be in opposition to God.

~     ~     ~

The "Creed alone" heresy, that the knowledge of the Creed is sufficient, ignores the fact that baptism is a work that one must do to be saved.

If one says that knowledge of the Creed is sufficient for orthodox faith, this goes against the Catholic teaching that one must also be aware of the fact ... that works are also required to be saved.

Water Baptism is in fact a work that must be done ... and one must have the knowledge that this work is required to get to Heaven ... this goes beyond the simple knowledge of the articles of the Creed.

The "knowledge of the Creed is sufficient" heresy betrays souls ... who might not be aware that they have to actually undergo water baptism to remit Original Sin.

In a related point ... the Creed does speak of one baptism for remission of sins, but the Creed itself does not say that one must have remission of sins to get to Heaven.

These are a couple of fine points, and we’re not trying to be lawyers, but they show that for these two issues simple knowledge of the Creed is not sufficient ... again showing that the "Creed alone" heretics are incorrect.

~     ~     ~

Large numbers of heretics recite the articles of the Creed in their heretic meeting halls.

Even though they recite the Creed, they do not have the Divine and Catholic Faith ... since they are all heretics.

Setting aside for a moment that they're all heretics ... according to the "Creed alone" heretics if the person reciting the Creed actually believes the articles of the Creed ... then that is sufficient to get him to Heaven.

In which case, according to the "Creed alone" heresy, they don’t need to leave their heresy and enter the Catholic Church.

Also, according to the "Creed alone" heresy ... a person observing the heretics reciting the Creed ... doesn't have to help them out of their heresy (because after all "the Creed is sufficient").

~     ~     ~

The Nicene Creed states:

"Who for us men and for our salvation came down from Heaven ..." and

"And one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church ..."

By the words of the Creed alone, will one assuredly conclude that for salvation to apply to them ... they must be a member of the Church mentioned in the same Creed.

The Creed itself does not say this.

All manner of heretics state that they are in the Church mentioned in the Creed.

So according to the "Creed alone" heresy ... we don’t need to clarify and make evident the fact that the Church spoken of in the Nicene Creed is the Catholic Church and that the Creed does not apply to the heretic groups.

The "Creed alone" heresy does not account for the fact that ... by other Catholic Dogma the Church spoken of in the Creed is the Catholic Church.

~     ~     ~

As mentioned briefly above ... according to the "Creed alone" heresy one doesn't even have to be aware of:

The Immaculate Conception -- and he can still get to Heaven

The Water Baptism Dogma -- and he can still get to Heaven

The Dogma on Purgatory -- and he can still get to Heaven

The Dogma on Hell -- and he can still get to Heaven

The Dogma on the Communion of the Saints -- and he can still get to Heaven

Etc.

Which of course is the opposite of what the Church teaches, you do have to know of these Dogmas and believe them to get to Heaven.

~     ~     ~

The "Creed alone" heretics contribute to the eternal damnation of peoples soul's, a couple of relevant scriptures:

Catholic writing of 2 Thessalonians 2:10 >
"And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying."

Catholic writing of Saint Jude 1:13 ... (regarding heretics) >
"Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own confusion; wandering stars, to whom the storm of darkness is reserved forever."
 
- - - -
 
As you can see from the Catholic scripture below, the problem we have now regarding lack of faith is not unique to these times:

Catholic Faith (pre-fulfillment) writing of Psalms 11:2-3 >
"Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men. They have spoken ... with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken."
 
- - - -
 
In the below cited scripture, the first part applies to the "Creed alone" heretics ... the second part to those who believe that you must believe the Catholic Faith whole and inviolate:

Catholic writing of Apocalypse 22:11 >
"He that hurteth, let him hurt still: and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is just, let him be justified still: and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still."
 
- - - -
 
As the devil "explained things" to Eve in the Garden ... so also the "Creed alone" heretics try their "Creed alone explanation" which causes the loss of souls as illustrated in the Sub-parts above.
