Church of England bishops in the UK say, Being gay IS NOT A SICKNESS OR A SIN,

[Anonymous Aristotle]

Apostate advocates of sin can speak as they wish in this life. They're falling doesn't change the fact of God's word. Those in Christ will leave the building and find an actual church dedicated to Christ. And the Satanic apostates in the English apostate building will answer to God and regret for eternity their falling away. 

Let them fall! They're happy to. Be happy for them.

There was no Nicene creed for the first 3 centuries.

The so called apostles creed was not written by the apostles. Nor is it found in the Bible.

"... Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord;
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
the third day he rose from the dead;"

Nothing about any of that found in the Bible?

That's true. There's also no sinners prayer. And there's no reference to Trinity, nor is there reference to purgatory in the Bible. 

God made man in his image and likeness. Then men wrote the Bible and taught doctrine in their own image and likeness. Having nothing to do with God's word at all. 

That's why Gods foresight told us in his word to not trust every spirit. But to discern with righteous judgment the truth.

The Bible is the Christian's final authority on all matters of Christian faith and practice, period.

"The Book of Common Prayer (BCP) has had an illustrious and checkered career since Archbishop Thomas Cranmer first introduced it to the Church of England back in 1549, almost five hundred years ago. If you've ever pledged to be faithful to someone 'till death do us part,' mourned to the words 'earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust,' or hoped for 'peace in our time,' you've been shaped by Cranmer's cadences, perhaps without knowing it ... there are millions of Christians worshipping in ways unaffected by the BCP, except insofar as they share common roots in Jewish and early Christian worship. But the reach of the BCP is more extensive than one might think. It has relatively direct connections to Methodist and Lutheran worship. And the liturgical scholarship that, in the early 20th century, went into possible revisions of the Church of England's 1662 book eventually made its way not only into modern Anglican prayer books but even had an influence on liturgical developments in the Roman Catholic Church...."

My faith is based on Scripture not on the book of common prayer.  Yes, there are some extracirricular traditions that still have a residue in our day, but it is not the final authority for the Christian.  The Bible stands alone as the sole basis for our theology and doctrines and practice of the Christian faith.

But the Bible, especially the Old Testament, wasn't written in a vacuum.

It is wholly inspired, inerrant, infallible and immutable.  It's doctrines form the basis for practical Christian living.

The book of common prayer has nothing as we know to do with Christ's actual teachings. It's a liturgical work with Anglican roots that arrived just after the reformation.
