CREEDS, CONFESSIONS, COVENANTS AND CONSTITUTIONS


     The modern cry: "Less creed and more liberty," is a degeneration from the vertebrate to the jellyfish, and means less unity and less morality, and it means more heresy. Definitive truth does not create heresy — it only exposes and corrects. Shut off the creed and the Christian world would fill up with heresy unsuspected and uncorrected, but none the less deadly. — B. H. Carroll, An Interpretation of the English Bible, Ephesians 4.
