The problems with the above creed should be obvious to any Oneness believer. They stand out like a "sore thumb."

Couple of issues with this statement... While we may all have 'bibles' now when the creeds were written this was just NOT the case.... and even the few living monastic lives who had access to 'bibles' did not have the 'bibles' that are on my bookshelf in 8 versions and on my computer in 29+. Much of religion was oral tradition. The creeds served to help believers remember in what (who) they had placed their faith.
You would have to show me the 'sore thumbs' here. I still love the Apostles creed an one of my biggest disappointments in DKB was the way he villianized those who wrote them as if their sole purpose was to screw up someones theology. Good grief.
