Twelve drummers drumming: The twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed
The creed is a statement of beliefs that Christians hold in common and publicly affirm. But there is also a lived mystery in Christian life, an acknowledgment that the holy is not only experienced in sacred tradition, but in witnessing life’s depth, monotony, joy and pain.
Some may think that believers who struggle to process life’s complexity and heartache contradict themselves. Those believers may simply be honoring the truth they have experienced.
NPR had a story this weekend on Douglas Fenton, a Presbyterian Minister who served in Iraq and is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of his service there.
“Chaplains are not allowed to have problems,” Fenton said. “Chaplains have to focus on other people’s problems. And if you get to that point, God help you. God help you.”

May Xtra Photons shine at the Sides of ALL OUR Boy's & Girl's whom have died, yet never died, and those toadya whom are in defence of the REPUBLIC & O.U.R. Holy Cosmic S.pace-S.hip Momma Poppa Planet Earth, Aka S.S. GAIA, S.S. GEOID, S.S. TELLUSng something!
Remember: Because We HUMATES [each a immortal Citizen & Denizen of Space-Ship E) and other creature kind's, on thier Space-Ships & respective Photon Spectrums enviroments, therein & thereof, That WE ECLATI-ON(s) was never Created nor can We ever be destroyed!
HARK: BIOFINITE (Carbon Frontal-Lobe Based) Death is never your TRANSFINITE (Reality) Death!
Hint: Because We Eclati-On's are Pre-Baptized & Confirmationed via the Holy Cosmic MAGMAPERCOLATION & the OCEANIC-MEGAPLUME-WOMB, THAT
O.U.R. Eclati-On Holy Cosmic HEURISTICa/o's {Immortal Spirits/Soul Photon Essences} gets Planet Hopped! Please see WAPO Bloggs since March Equonox Day of 07 to explain OUR "Eternity Avoiding Lonliness" Philosophy! Aka The NEW-SONG evolved from O.U.R. OLD ones!!
WHEREFORE: WE NEVER DIE!
Just try to be Nice nice & never KILL nor Snuff-out nor DIM the LIGHT OF LOVE via EVILIZING BEHAVOUR, of another good HUMATE unjustifiably!
Note: "a" & "o" means a SPORADE (SHE/a) & MAVORITE (HE/o) So, O.U.R. HEURISTICa/o , that is embedded in the Frontal-Lobe's, so called Holy Cosmic Miraculous 'Safe-Deposit-Box' , so to speaketh, can't die!
Example: When an SUV Humvee is blown up via a roadside Bomb! That if serious enough (where Humate intervewntion to save a Biofinite Carbon Based Heuristica/o will not allow) that that immortal miraculous 'Soul' or 'Spirit' is always ON, never Off [hence when you sleep you are not sleeping] & Is Frequencied with the Holy Cosmic ECLATi!, aka IT or being ITSELF in and of Us-ALL! So
IT instantaneously leaves your holy BOX and takes IT's route towards the PLASMATRICULATION Entropy Holy Cosmic interface threshold, via in "Between The Photon Spectural Channels" via Each unique Immortal frequency and so gets thrown into the 5th Dimention of the NonGravity Place of the Holy Cosmic ESCHATOLOGICAL "DUE-TO-BE" Miracle Heuristicao placement Machine, some Place, some TIME(Temperature, not clock) some Where!
IMPORTANT: Momma Poppa EARTH, Sister LUNA, Brother MARS, Cousin TITAN, EUROPA et al, will also Die in 7/ Billion Years From Now!
All-LIFE-Forms [Appearing today & further in the Future , via Correct Green/Yellow PHOTON spectrums] will DIE! Yet the ESCHATOLOGICAL POSSIBILITIES of OURSELVES is ENDLESS!
Hence: We appear in MIRACLE awareness & never is Birth a SIN or Curse. All Man Made Religions, as we know them are Pre-Apocalyptic and an insult to ECLATi-ON iNTELLIGENCE!
Only ECLAT + "i" = LIFE/PHOTON Philosophy is the TRUE (opposite of MYTH) and genuine G-D System Awareness! There is Only "I"+"i" and nothing & no-one else!
WE are not the World! We are simply ETERNITY AVOIDING LONLINESS via the Non-Jealous & thus Fearless Holy NO-MAN LORD/YAWEH/Ishvara/G-D eponymous ECLAT ... Creator of the FIAT-LUX!
Together Forever With Source-One! Nothing is External to the ECLAT so there is NO escape nor be in denial to self nor others! Just let IT ride!

Ha! Ha! Ha!
was It not Mr. JU-ZEUS-Christ Great..... or +/- 70 Generation(s) ago & 4,600 Full-Moons ago that , his PELEGIAN, not JOKTANIAN, Grandfather Mr. MOSES the Founder of "Judaism" not EBERUism
{iMPORTANT, always NOTE this difference between JU & Eberue whom are Not the Same in Fact!}
whom saID,
"Thus saith the LORD/ECLATi , ISRAEL is my Son, even MY-FIRST-BORN." [meaning Last!]!
If you do not believe me then ,
please see, ANY-BIBLE at : EXO:4:22!
Note: My own son's name (since my Mother is part Grecko) is "ALEXANDER THE GREAT" meaning the SON of G-D! A descendent of ROMULOUS! And i will not namr other SON-OF=GOD's Pre-Apocalytic Story's!
Behold: WE EC:ATi-ON(s) are all True (opposite of MYTH Story's) are in fact "S*O*N*'s and D*A*U*G*T*E*R*S of the Holy No-Mon Lord Eponymous Non-Jealous Creator of the Holy Cosmic FIAT-LUX!
Please: Never say 'AMEN' 'AMON' AMEEN-ra or re again! You are Pre-Apocalyptically 'Thanking' a 1/2 Humate & 1/2 BEAST relic of the OSIRIS/BAAL Hangover via the Freudian Slips of Genuine Prophecies of them [un] Holy "NOVEL-STARS" or Inventors or Copy-Cats or Religious Jealou Psychotic Plagerists & fork tongued Word-Merchants!

The Apostles' Creed has often been divided into 12 sections for catechesis, instruction for new converts or children.
1. I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth,
2. And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord,
3. Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell.
5. The third day he rose again from the dead;
6. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
7. From there he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
8. I believe in the Holy Spirit,
9. I believe in the holy catholic church, the communion of saints,
10. The forgiveness of sins,
11. The resurrection of the body,
12. And the life everlasting. Amen.
The Nicene Creed
The Nicene Creed was developed by the early Church largely in response to the teachings of Arius. Arianism taught that Jesus was not truly divine and of a different "substance" than God, which challenged the developing doctrine of the Trinity in the early church. The emperor Constantine, newly converted to Christianity, called a Church Council at Nicæa in AD 325 to bring some unity to the church amid developing controversies and false teachings. The Council at Nicæa adopted an early form of the creed, although the basic present form emerged from the Council of Constantinople in AD 381. It was officially adopted by the Council of Chalcedon in AD 451.

Hello again 'Little-Sistar"(s), "Little-Brethren(s), et al;
Wow! "i" am ecstatic about the 12 "NICENE 'arian' CREED!
Please see excerpt here:
"... The Nicene Creed was developed by the early Church largely in response to the teachings of Arius.
'ARIAN'ism...
[like in the Philosophy of Us "APOCALYPT-arian"(s) or like in the "ECLATarian NEW-SONG coming from O.U.R. Old songs] , aka ECLATI-ON(s)]
...taught that Jesus was "NOT" truly divine and of a different "substance" than God, which challenged the developing doctrine of the Trinity in the early church..." [takin from your 'creed' link. thanks].
Interesting Note: Mr. MUHAMMAD [pbuh] has Freudiantly slipped and said [about Christ Trinity],
"..In the Father, The Son & the Mother.." [similar said, not Holy-Ghost!?]. Ya!
The Nicene Creed was developed by the early Church largely in RESPONSE to the teachings of Arius..... The Begining of an End is come for Us in U.S. et al!
BEHOLD, thus saith the Eponymous ECLAT:
"Hear O' America , America is ONE with Source-One..."
HARK! The Lord/YWH/Ishvara/Allah/G-d/ECLAT & by many names, Consent's, But only for a TIME!
IT is TIME for "Healing of Religious Torn HUMATE(s) & their NATIONS" to go APOCALYPTIC or Continue to Kill-Each Other for another name for GOD, INSTEAD OF G-D! aka hassling over O.U.R. EPONYMOUS-"I" + "i" = LIFE/PHOTONS awareness!!
Note: O.U.R. = O.ne U.niversal R.eligion for Space-Ship EARTH(s) Creature Kinds (unkind not invited/not tolerated) LIVING & Crawling on this HOLY COSMIC Space Ship's STAR-SYSTEM(s) or on other Sytem(s) of HUMATES with Holy Endowed "FRONTAL-LOBES, wherever they may be. Here or there!
REMEMBER: HUMATES of S.S. TELLUSng something are NOT-ALONE! Eponymous ECLAT + "i" is the name of NO-GAME!
HENCE: ALL PRE_APOCALYPTICarian's , aka Lover's of their ancient old-song(s), Yet 'CANNOT-SEE' O.U.R. APOCALYPTIC new-song comming from all O.U.R. old songs , believe "IT" (IT=eponymous "ECLAT", is not a 'HE/Him' nor a 'She/Her', never) or Not! SO;
VOTE: Mitt R*O*M*N*E*Y, where many good tidings, via genuine prophecy, is a comming round the Corner, like MANNA, aka as "What-is-This?" from Heavens, for ALL HUMATE-KIND's [Frontal-lobe carrying Denizens/Citizens of Space-Ship EARTH].
Please the Prophecy is cometh TRUE (opposite of MYTH) already as REVELATION (opposite of Secret's or Hidden & contrary to the "Riddles Of the Satan/Jinn/Devi & by many thought) at:
Any-BIBLE;
REV:2:17, 3:12, 19:12, 41:25 et seq. [NEW Name, MANNA, PEACE, "SHILOH" [The-North-Easterner, aka Dr. Harry Theriault successor to MELCHIZEDEK (Maroni) PEACE Blessings given Amewrica's Prophet, His Honorable Joseph Smith Jr.(pbuh & Them)]
ISIA:62:1-2, 65:15 et seq.
"... MUSIC of the SHERES.." (Meaning O.U.R. Universe in a non stopable Holy Cosmic Motion/Moveon). Note:
From "Once "i" was a Caterpillar to being a Butterfly today."
From: Ancient PISCES-AGE (Pre-Apocalyptarians) to Modern AQUARIOUS-AGE (APOCALYPTARIANS).
Behold: MODERN-MORALITY is the 'Superior' to Biblical-Morality! Please do not be in denial to Self nor other! SO; Please;

Attention; Cyber Friend(s) & Real Friend(s). "i" am not a MORMON, i am just an American ISRAELi [a Lover of HUMATE-KINDS] whom has TRUST in the ROMNEY's New Song Coming from all OUR Old PREAPOCALYPTIC songs, that's all. DYNAMICism is the TRUTH (opposite of Myth) not STATICism (opposite of Dynamic, aka VOGUE or STYLE of the TIME).
PS: It is Eclati-On Prophecy That it will be the MORMONS (Romney as Prez or not) who will usher-in Global PEACE & HEALING of Nations & many more Good Holy Cosmic Tidings! That's All Folks! Even
His Honorable Albert EINSTEN , our Eclati-on Prophet of many [pbu them] thought that MORMONS "... Are An Interesting genuine [unique] AMERICAN Phenomonon"!
May Xtra Photons shine at the sides of YOUR Boy's & Girl's who are defending, the APOCALYPTARIAN Nations, and this great Holy Cosmic REPUBLIC of Space-Ship Momma Poppa planet EARTH, aka S.S. GAIA, aka S.S. GEOID, aka S.S. TELLUSng something!
