<\/a>The Apostles Creed has been a part of the church in the West for a very long time. It is used in baptisms, prayers, and basic catechesis. However there are some people who argue that the creeds are not found in the Bible, and so they are simply traditions of men that should be condemned. I think that argument is a little silly, but I\u2019m not going to get into all that right now (perhaps I will post something on it soon though).<\/p>\n

Today I want to highlight a list of Scriptural references that point to the biblical grounding of all the articles in the Creed. I got this list from Paul McCain<\/a>, so thanks Paul! <\/p>\n
