The explanation to the second article The explanation to the second article of the Apostles Creedof the Apostles Creed

I believe that Jesus Christ, true God, begotten of the Father from eternity, and also true man, born of the virgin Mary, is my Lord. He has redeemed me, a lost and condemned creature, purchased and won me from all sins, from death, and from the power of the devil, not with gold or silver but

with his holy, precious blood and with his innocent suffering and death.

All this he did that I should be his own, and live under him in his kingdom, and serve him in everlasting

righteousness, innocence, and blessedness, just as he has risen from death and lives and rules eternally.

Offering

Bring the whole tithe into the store-house, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will

not be room enough to store it.Malachi 3:10

"Philosophically, you can believe anything, so long as you do not claim it to be true. Morally, you can practice anything, so long as you do not claim that it is a "better" way. Religiously, you can hold to anything, so long as you do not bring Christ into it. If a spiritual idea is eastern, it is granted critical immunity; if western, it is thoroughly criticized."
