WOW! It's been quite a while cos I've been a bit busy lately but here's something for us all to pick up our Bibles and reflect upon.
So what do Catholics believe in anyways???? We been saying it ever since we were young every Sunday and at every mass faithfully without fail but do we really know and comprehend this declaration of faith and where it comes from??? Here's something I picked up from the Catholic Goldmine website http://www.catholicgoldmine.com
What Catholics Believe
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, (Gen 14:19)
of all that is seen and unseen. (Col 1:16)
We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, (Luke 1:35)
eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, True God from True God, begotten not made, one in being with the Father. (Heb 1:3)
Through him all things were made. (John 1:2-3)
For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven: (John 3:13)
by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the virgin Mary, (Matt 1:18)
and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, (John 19:16)
he suffered, died and was buried. On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures. (1 Cor 15:3-4)
He ascended into heaven (Luke 24:51)
and is seated at the right hand of the Father. (Col 3:1)
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead (2 Tim 4:1)
and his kingdom will have no end. (Luke 1:33)
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of Life, (Acts 2:17)
who proceeds from the Father and the Son. (John 14:16)
With the Father and Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets. (1 Peter 1:10-11)
We believe in one holy, catholic and apostolic Church. (Rom 12:5)
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. (Acts 2:38)
We look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. (Rom 6:5)
Amen
KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!
