No creed can guard against every heresy. But no creed should be written in such a way as to confirm a popular heresy.

Speratus,

Do you believe that Ravi's creed is "written... as to confirm popular heresy"?

Thanks,

Ron

I don't believe that was his intent; however, a popular heresy finds comfort in his generic creed. This heresy accepts the trinity but denies the hypostatic union. These modern Docetists teach that Christ had a human body but discarded it after it had served its purpose.

Yes, and a popular heresy can find comfort in the portion of the creed you quoted. As you noted, no creed can safeguard all of orthodoxy; my charge is that you seem a bit quick to hold Ravi to a higher standard than the fathers. I've debated two Arminians who claimed that the WCF affirms libertarian free will. May we find fault with the Divines (Ravi, or the fathers) for not being more explicit?

Kindly yours,

Ron
