The main question, in fact, was why I felt that not embracing the creeds meant that one was not a Christian. Of course, I can have opinions about Christ, or what Christianity was "really about", or whatever. However, to be a Christian seems to me to adhere to the tradition, otherwise the term means nothing. A Christian accepts the truth of something that predates him, he does not pick and choose in order to make up his own thing. If you do not believe in the Gospels, or the commission of the Apostles, or that Christ established the Church, why would you be a Christian anyway, that is, repose faith in Jesus as someone manifesting God Almighty? If you do not believe at least that Jesus manifested God Almighty, why would you bother to be a Christian at all?
