I am sorry that no one likes the way I put this.. The creeds were needed badly when they were first penned.. Now we have the bible in it's complete form and having the creeds is unnecessary.. Their place is filled by the Bible .. I used the word outmoded because a mormon seemed to understand that it's the creeds that are not needed, not the doctrines they confess. We all have the full Bible now. Having a creed meant to be memorized and therefore taken with a believe is no longer needed.. Are the doctrines outmoded? NO!! That will never be.. IHS jim
