The Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion - Article One

  


As members of the Anglican Orthodox Church Worldwide Communion, Scripture is our primary reference.  But, what positions do we take based on that Scripture?  We have adopted The Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion.  They were not intended as a complete statement of the Christian faith, but of the position of the Anglican Church in relation to the Roman Catholic Church and other Protestant churches.

It is critical you understand the Articles.  Bishop Jerry has embarked on a series to cover them.  They are about ten minutes or so, you should take the time to listen to them

     H IS  own  iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.   (Proverbs 5:22)               The prophet inquires of the Lord, ‘Why do the wicked prosper?’   1  Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?   (Jeremiah 12:1)  Solomon explains the wicked are held by the cords of their own sinful imaginations and sins.               The imaginations of men’s hearts are always more and more wicked. “  And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually .”  (Genesis 6:5)  The ‘self-will’ of man is that which many erroneously label as ‘free will’  - a term that does not appear in Holy Scripture.
