@jesse_k_fox You’re welcome, but I can’t take any credit. It’s all from God’s word.

The Nicene Creed does not add to the Bible. It summarizes and defends core biblical truths.Created in AD 325/381 to refute Arianism (the heresy that Jesus is created), it confesses what Scripture already teaches:One God, Creator: Deut. 6:4; Gen. 1:1; Col. 1:16.
Jesus Christ: Eternal Son, true God from true God, one essence with the Father (John 1:1-3,14; 8:58; 10:30; Heb. 1:3; Col. 1:15-17).
Incarnation, death, resurrection, ascension: John 1:14; Phil. 2:6-8; 1 Cor. 15:3-4.
Holy Spirit: John 14:26; 15:26; Acts 5:3-4.
Return and judgment: Matt. 25:31-46; Acts 1:11.

Creeds are subordinate to Scripture (2 Tim. 1:13-14; Jude 3). They guard the faith without adding new revelation. Believing the Creed = believing the Bible.

@OldUncleEllis @Nalin_Haley @MakeUSAVAT Any church that teaches FROM the Bible, not ABOUT the Bible. Also, any church that doesn’t add or subtract from it.

Revelation 22:18-19 is not a statement closing the entire New Testament canon. It says: “I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.” (NIV)Context and Meaning“This scroll” (or “this book”) clearly refers to the Book of Revelation itself — the prophecy John just received.
This is a standard warning protecting the integrity of a specific divine message (see similar statements in Deuteronomy 4:2; 12:32 and Proverbs 30:6). It was common in ancient literature to safeguard important documents from tampering.
The warning targets deliberate distortion, addition of false teaching, or removal of key truths in Revelation’s prophecies — not minor copyist errors or future inspired writings.

Canon & ChronologyThe New Testament did not yet exist as a compiled volume when John wrote (c. AD 95). The early church later recognized which apostolic books were already inspired and authoritative. Revelation’s warning guards its own message; it does not prohibit other apostolic writings that were circulating or being written around the same time. The full canon coheres around Christ and was discerned by the church under the Holy Spirit’s guidance.Bottom LineThis passage upholds the seriousness of God’s prophetic word: do not distort it. Christianity’s defense rests on the historical reliability of the New Testament documents, the resurrection of Jesus, fulfilled prophecy, and transformed lives — not on misreading one verse as a universal “canon closed” stamp. Revelation, like the rest of Scripture, points us to worship Jesus Christ alone.

Galatians 1:8-9 (ESV)
"But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed."2 Corinthians 11:4 (ESV)
"For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough."These are the primary verses used to argue that accepting a restored gospel delivered by an angel (Moroni), a different view of Jesus/God, or additional requirements beyond faith in Christ’s finished work places one outside abiding “in Christ” (see also John 15:4-6; 2 Corinthians 13:5). Many interpreters apply them directly to Mormon doctrine as “another gospel” and “another Jesus.”

@runway404 @AResoluteFaith @Latterdaytruth I don’t make any points, scripture does.

[Critically Optimistic @SpaceForce369]

No, the Bible does not teach a “different Jesus” or multiple gods.The earliest Christians believed exactly what Scripture teaches: one God eternally existing as three distinct persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.Clear Biblical Truth:One God: Deut 6:4; Isa 45:5; 1 Cor 8:4.
Jesus is fully God: John 1:1,14; 8:58; 20:28; Col 2:9.
Holy Spirit is God: Acts 5:3-4.
Three persons, one God: Matt 28:19; John 10:30; 17:21-22.

This high view of Christ existed from the very beginning—not invented at Nicaea. The Nicene Creed simply defended apostolic teaching against heresies.The video promotes a later invention: Jesus as a created being, spirit-brother of Lucifer, and humans becoming gods. Scripture rejects this outright: “Before Me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after Me” (Isa 43:10).Truth is not decided by polls, family values, or 19th-century revisions. The real Jesus is the eternal Son, the only Savior. “There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).Trust the Bible, not modern revisions.

No, God does not create people simply to send them to hell. That would contradict His clear character, justice, and desire for salvation revealed in Scripture. Here’s the biblical case, step by step:1. God’s Character
God is loving and just, “not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). He “desires all men to be saved” (1 Timothy 2:4) and “takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked” (Ezekiel 33:11). Creation itself testifies to Him (Romans 1:20; Acts 14:17).2. The Universal Problem: Sin
Every person sins by nature and choice (Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:1-3). The penalty is death and separation from God (Romans 6:23). No one is innocent. Even those who never hear the gospel know enough from creation, conscience, and the moral law written on their hearts to recognize God and their guilt (Romans 1:18-20; 2:12-16). They are judged fairly according to the light they received—not light they never had (Luke 12:47-48).3. Salvation Through Christ Alone—Yet God Is Sovereign
Jesus is the only way (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). Salvation is by grace through faith in Him (Ephesians 2:8-9). People do not go to hell for not hearing about Jesus; they are accountable for rejecting the revelation they did receive.
God sovereignly places people in their times and places “so that they should seek the Lord” (Acts 17:26-27). He is never far from anyone who truly seeks Him (Jeremiah 29:13; Hebrews 11:6). Scripture and history record God supernaturally revealing Christ to open hearts.4. Our Responsibility
This truth does not excuse apathy—it fuels the Great Commission: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel” (Mark 16:15). The church must carry the good news so more can hear, believe, and be saved (Romans 10:13-15).
We cannot see every heart, but we can trust the Judge of all the earth will do right (Genesis 18:25). Christ died for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2). The invitation is open: “Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely” (Revelation 22:17). No one will stand before God and truthfully say, “I never had a chance.”
