Cut it out, Part Deux

The phrase in the Creed is: "...and became MAN." Not "...and became HUMAN." Trust me on this. They would have noticed when it came time for the circumcision. I'm sure He became MAN.

    I'm glad our new pastor includes the words "For us MEN and our salvation" instead of "For us and ..." as it was until recently.

    Adrienne, ditto here. When the Sainted Fr. S. said it, it was never an issue. "Now it depends."

    Pretty soon it will be "became one of God's creatures" just to put us all on par with donkeys...or are they called asses in the bible?

Anonymous posters are fine, but please give yourself a nickname so I know anon I from anon II. "Jack/Jill of the Amazing Wolverine Tribe" is preferable to "anonymous."
