By TylerR on Mon, 02/29/16 Bible, Theology & Philosophy Christology Ligonier: For the glory of Christ and the edification of His people, the Ligonier Statement on Christology seeks to encapsulate the historic, orthodox, biblical Christology of the Christian church in a form that is simple to confess, useful to help teach the church’s enduring faith, and able to serve as a common confession around which believers from different churches can rally for mission together. Discussion NewReformation21 Responds Mon, 02/29/16 Behold this tepid endorsement from Ref21:while I commend Ligonier for wanting to publicly defend the truth, I am not as excited about the content of the Creed and the Affirmations and Denials as some are, especially given how long it took to craft (3 yrs) and the resources they have at their disposal. Tyler is a pastor in Olympia, WA and works in State government. NewTrueman's Two Cents . . . Mon, 02/29/16 Carl Trueman responds to the Ligonier statement by basically asking, “Why is this statement even necessary in the first place!?”If you are a Protestant who really does want ‘a common confession around which believers from different churches can rally for mission together,’ then simply use the Nicene Creed. It is not in danger of ever being a piece of kitsch. It does not risk promoting a brand. And all the evidence suggests that it has done its job pretty well for some 1600 years.
