Against Creationism, an essay, not a creed

(in the following Faith refers to Obedient Faith- trust, which works and exists solely in union with the other Theological Virtues)

The truth is simple, the only truth one knows for sure,

Light, God came into the world, in the flesh, as (Jeshua Christos, Jesu,) Christ Jesus, and in the form of man, though fully God, he preached to man.

He was arrested, tried unfairly under the Jewish council; Crucified under Pontus Pilot, died, and on the Third day, was raised, by God.This Jesus, as we are taught, is our saviour, and came, in accordance with scripture, and prophesy.

It does not matter what else we believe, ‘cept, that for us men and our salvation, God sent his son to die, crucifying the written demands on the Cross, that he went to prison, and preached to those under the wrath of God,( since, if not prior the flood), that he was risen by the power of God, having freely and of his own choice, given Hs life for others, and that we who believe in Him, will never, ever be condemned (for doubt is active, and requires effort),

because we have passed into the light of truth. Belief in the hearing of faith. What else there is, does not matter. Only this- Light came into the world, but the darkness did not recognise it. Christ, by the power of Grace, and his own choice, saved those he predestined to believe, and we who believe cannot continue to sin, as God purifies us, though we still do sin, we have an advocate with the Father, and if God justifies, who can bring a charge against those he has chosen to inherit life.

Salvation is to all who believe, and other than that, if it is possible, to all who God decides, though all are unworthy, to give life in the Name of his son. God is love, his nature, his core, his all, is Love, wrath is a part of love, as the Scripture states, in that love is not happy with wrong, but is happy with truth. God is God of all, and his word is ever-lasting. Empires fade, millennia in existence, empires fade, look only to Rome to gain perspective, for even surety of man’s power falls. Nations, fade, all that man sees as sure fades, ‘cept what God ordains not to fade, ‘cept the nature of the Only True God, and the nature of his works and His promises, the surety of Who the only God in heaven and in earth Is, I say, God is love. As Does His servant St John, in the first epistle of John to the people of Christ, I say that the Lord is the Lord of all, yet though he has sent word throughout the earth, only those chosen by my only true God for salvation, will be saved. We are to love, and believe in who God’s son is, that is the sum of law and the demands of God. As we are his, these are not burdensome, though they may appear hard. God himself is He who makes us stand. I sin, yet, I am called to purity, and in this purity, I am called to be righteous, not righteousness of the law, though I uphold the law, as summed up in Love, though I do not observe days, or those things that are external and worthless, compared with what has come, to replace them, the shadow of faith, guardians to keep us under guard until faith came to fulfil the true covenant of God. Faith in the Son of God, is all I see as the requirement to enter heaven. All else is the result of such, in Love.

Marc Aupiais

In clarifying-

It may be better to say that all three- "Love, Hope and faith", are equally vital to salvation, but also, that none can come to God unless he called them. Therefore, Grace alone saves, not faith alone, but I do not state that faith alone saves. Also, I state that I do not observe days, by this I mean the laws of the Mosaic, Old law, Levitical Law, and not the obligation of attending mass, in order to keep Sunday holy, learn about God, and in order to obey the church, which, being in my case - The Holy Catholic and Apostolic church, or at least one with apostolic succession, means such is necessary. To not obey, would be- to not love God. For the old has been replaced by "faith", by a law based on love, and based on trust, on belief in the Law-giver, for "that not of faith is sin", and "disobedience is sin", and the law is summed up in love, thereby, as the old law was summed in Love your neighbour as yourself, and the Lord with all you are (etc), thereby it showed the best way to love, in the meaning sort command. Thereby, we are no longer under the circumstantial commands of the day, that relate only to passed regulations of that law, yet we are under the meaning of it, and must obey the manner in which people are told to treat others, but do not have to obey, what I termed as "external" and in the modern erra, having passed away and replaced by Church law- thereby "worthless". We are thereby also under the power of the apostles, who history records as leaving successors, now in the Catholic church.
