"No Creed but Christ" is a Creed, Discovers Shocked Non-Denominational Christian

Christian Apologist Stunned by New Development

John Smith, a 35-year-old software engineer from San Diego, California, has been attending a non-denominational church for the past five years. He says he was drawn to the church because of its emphasis on the Bible and its rejection of any human-made doctrines or traditions.

"I don't believe in creeds," Smith said. "They are man-made statements that divide Christians and distract from the simple message of the gospel. The only creed I need is Jesus Christ. He is my Lord and Savior, and that's all that matters."

However, Smith's worldview was shattered when he encountered a blog post by a theologian who argued that "No Creed but Christ" is itself a creedal statement.

"A creed is a formal statement or system of religious beliefs," the blog post read. "It comes from the Latin word credo, which means 'I believe.' By saying 'No Creed but Christ,' you are expressing your belief in Christ as the sole authority and source of truth for your faith. That is a creed, whether you like it or not."

Smith was stunned by this revelation. He had never considered that his slogan could be interpreted as a creed. He felt betrayed by his own logic and wondered if he had been deceived by his church.

"I don't know what to think anymore," Smith said. "I thought I was following the Bible, but now I realize I was following a creed. How can I trust anything I believe? How can I know what is true?"

Smith said he plans to do more research on the history and meaning of creeds, and hopes to find a way to reconcile his faith with his new knowledge.

Breaking the Stained-Glass Ceiling: Pastor Jane's Scandalous Path to Feminist Icon Status In a groundbreaking moment for ecclesiastical equality, Pastor Jane Doe has become a beacon of feminist empowerment after being caught in a series of inappropriate relationships with male congregants.

Once Judeo-Christian Nation Watches Debate To Determine Which Immoral Reprobate Best Qualified to Lead

Nation’s Moral Compass Goes Haywire, Formally Resigns Following Debate Philadelphia - In a spectacle that could only be described as a divine comedy, the nation once hailed as a "Judeo-Christian" nation gathered to watch the presidential debate, eager to determine which immoral reprobate would best lead them forward. The candidates, both seasoned in the art of moral ambiguity, took the stage with the confidence of televangelists at a Sunday sermon. As the candidates took the stage, the audience was treated to a spectacle reminiscent of a reality show, complete with mudslinging and moral gymnastics that would make even the most seasoned circus performer blush. One candidate, known for his "alternative facts," argued passionately that he had the best rallies in the history of political rallies, while another claimed to be “unburdened by the past” [but still current] administration’s numerous international scandals and blunders, promising that to fix everything she h...
