222 BQSICBUCIAN PHILOSOPHY
QUESTION No. 111.
Is the Christian creed based upon divine authority?
Answer: There are three forms of the Christian creed.
One of them is known as the Apostle's Creed, although not
composed by the apostles, but supposed to embody their
beliefs. Another creed was formulated and adopted at the
Council of Nice and is called the Nicean Creed. The
have no
Atlianasian Creed was of still later date. They
more divine authority than any other contention of men
concerning the Bible.
The Bible itself gives a creed, however, in the passage
which states that tJiere is no other name given except the
name of Christ Jesus whereby men may be saved, and this
is in harmony with the occult teaching, for Jehovah was the
author of all the old Race Religions where the fear of God
was pitted against the desires of the flesh and a law was
imposed upon man to curb desire. Race Religions act
educationally upon the desire nature by the means stated,
but will in time be superseded by the Religion of Christ.
This religion of brotherhood and love will cast out the fear
engendered by the law of Jehovah. It will endeavor to do
away with nations, with their laws, with struggle and
strife, by working upon the vital body so that humanity
shall be actuated entirely by love instead of by Jaw. This is
not the ultimate, however. When the kingdom
shall have
been fully established, He is to give it over to the Father.
The Religion of the Father will be something higher even
than the Religion of the Son.
