Symbolics Class #1 (Brief Intro to the Confessions)

Symbolics Class No. 1
“Laying The General Groundwork”
On this SGE Discipleship Class called “Symbolics,” we will have a very brief introduction on why Christ’s church is a “confessional church.”
Quotes (as presented) from Dr. Sam Waldron (from his Modern Exposition of the 1689)
“The great reformed confessions do not claim to make anything truth that was not truth before; nor do they propose to bind men to believe anything which they are not already obligated to believe on the authority of Scripture.
A creed or confession is simply a statement of faith (credo means ‘I believe’); and as such no more diminishes the Bible’s authority than saying, ‘I believe in God,’ or ‘I believe in Christ,’ or ‘I believe in the Bible.’ Those who say that they affirm ‘no creed but the Bible’ in reality have a creed, albeit an unwritten one.”
“A confession of our loyalty to the Bible is not enough. The most radical denials of biblical truth frequently coexist with a professed regard for the authority and the testimony of the Bible. When men use the very words of the Bible to promote heresy, when the Word of truth is perverted to serve error, nothing less than a confession of faith will serve publicly to draw the lines between truth and error.”
