No its not. I just gave you one of Christs teachings direct from His mouth about Gods law and order for marriage. This was established at creation and what Christ was referring to in His teaching. Defying this truth is like defying the Nicene Creed.


No sense having a statement that you stand on the Nicene Creed when your allowing sin to enter your church because you defied the truth of other central teachi8ngs. It actually makes them the wolves. The ones that mix truth with lies and it appears good to the less decerning Christian.


I mean its not really. Some Protestant denominations take the position that abortion is acceptable outside when its life or death. THis is based on a womens right to autonomy. Which happens to be the same ideology of secular society.


So the church is more or less aligning with secular ideology on this and not Gods clear law for murder and that God knows every person in the womb before they are born from conception. If a church cannot see this rationalising away truth then they are too far gone. But don't equate them as a legitimate belief in Christianity. You have to sort out the lies from the truth first before you can say they are Christian or wolves.


In fact I believe in some Protestant denominations because feminism has infuenced interpretations the macullinity of Christ and God is being minimised if not denied. Which is technically a breach of their own position on the Nicene Creed because its deminishing the Begotton Son aspect which was Gods representation in man and not women.


This is not all denominations. But because they have allowed varying interpretations this opens the door for such ideologies. But this will not happen in the Catholic or Orthodox church as they also uphold the relationships the Creed is talking about in practice. They don't allow alternative interpretations in the first place.


I am not saying that. I am saying the Nicene Creed is the bible, is the words of the bible. They are just reading out biblical truths. Every statement of faith the words can be found in the bible. In other words its reaffirming central biblical teachings.


For example "We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth" Obviously that there is only one God is from the 1st Commandment. But there are many verses 1. Deuteronomy 4:35,39  Unto thee it was shown, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside himThe same for the Maker of heaven and earth, Genesis 1:1-2 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.


That is the same as saying "we believe that He created them man and women and they become one flesh in marriage". This is also a biblical teachings. There are more teachings besides the NIcene Creed. In fact the Catholic churc throughout history has excommunicated those promoting heresay including the ordination of women priests as its against a central and clear teaching.


Standing on the NIcene Creed doesn't give you a get out of jail free card on the truth of other central teachings.


That doesn't make sense in that the number one policy for the Dems was abortion which more Protestants are likely to support due to womens rights which is a big part of their belief. It is unlikely that those on the Right are going to support abortion to the level the Dems do. The same with SSM and other LGBTIQ+ and DEI issues.


I think its at the extremes where the tru e position comes out. No one on the Right will allow SSM if they are CHristian. BUt they will on the Left and if there are any churches that are going to align with these extreme positions its within the Protestant denominations.
