Divinefaiththereforemeansabsolute triwaveringfaithinthewordofGod. ItmeansbeliefinGod'sdeclaration, notbecauseHeprovesitbutbecause liehasspoken.Hiswordisofitself guaranteeofthetruthofwhatlie says.

tohear,AsinthebeginningGod said"Lettherebelight,andlight 'sitsmade,"soJesussaidtotheman bornblind,"Receivethysight";and totheleper"Iwill,bethoumade clean;"andtothecripple"Takeup, thybedandwalk:'Andtheblind saw,andtheleperwashealed,andthe cripplewasmadewhole.Jesussaid tothedeadsonofthewidowofNairn: "Ydungman,Isay,totheearise."And thecorpsebecameamanagaininresponsetothevoicewhichinthebeginninghadsaid:"Letusmakeman." (Gen.i,26.)

St.Johntellsus:"Manyothersigns alsodidJesusinthesightofHisdisciples,whicharenotwritteninthis book.Butthesearewritten,that youmaybelievethatJesusisthe Christ,theSonofGod;andthatbelieving,youmayhavelifeinHis name."(Jn.xik,30,31.)

Inbrief,Faithisnotsubjectivenor sentimentalnorselective.Faithis ,theacceptanceandfirmbeliefinall thatChristteachesbecauseHeteaches it.Somepeoplewhocallthemselves Christiansbelievecertainpartsofthe Gospelbutnototherparts.Indoing thattheyaremakingtheirownreligion,butitisnotChrist'sreligion. Christ'sreligionisdefiniteandunchangeable.Truthneverchanges. Truthcannotcontradictitself.

Jn.v,9.)

Inorderthatwemayunderstand thatJesusistheSonofGod,inthe sensethatHeisthetrueSonofthe EternalGod,andthatHeisinall thingsequaltotheCreator,letusheat thetestimonyofSt.'John.Beforewe givetheinspiredwordsoftheApostle,letitberemarkedthatwhenphilosophersandScriptureemployThe term"Word"withreferencetothe Deity,itmeansthePowerbywhich theworldwasmade.St.John,speakingofJesusandapplyingthistermto Him,speaksasfollowsinthesublime openingpassageofhisGospel:"Inthe beginningwastheWord,andtheWord waswithGod,andtheWordwasGod. allthingsweremadebyHim andtheWordwasmadeflesh,and dweltamongus."(Jn.i,1.14.)Jest& isthereforetheSonofGodbecome man.HeisGodinthetruesense. HeistheCreatorandLord'ofthe World,Jesus,thetrueSonofGod,has spokentous. FaithinJesusisthereforeFaithin God;whenJesusspeaks,Godspeaks. WhatJesushasrevealedthatGodhas revealed.Itwasforthisreasonthat St.PaulinhisEpistletotheThessalonians,says:"WegivethankstoGod withoutceasing:necause,thatwhen youhadreceivedofusthewordofthe hearingofGod,youreceiveditnot asthewordofmen,but(asitisindeed)thewordofGod."I.Thes., 13.) TheApostleswerenotpreaching theirowndoctrinebutthatofJesus, andtheyproclaimedthatwhatthey preachedwasthewordofGod.

Thedissensionssodeplorableamong non-Catholicdenominationscomefrom afalsenotionofFaith.EverynonCatholicdenominationowesitsorigin topersonaldrsubjectiveviews.If ChristtaughtabodyoftruthsHewas certainlynotindifferenttotheiracceptance.Hedidnotleavethembetaken orrejectedatthejudgmentoftheindividual.TosaythatGodwouldguide eachonewhattobelieveafterGod Himselfhadspecifiedwhattobelieve istostultifyGod.Moreover,Godcan notinspirecontradictorybeliefs.He gavetomankindadefiniteCreed,so sacredandfixedandperpetualthatSt. Paulsaidofit:"Thoughwe,oran angelfromheaven,preachagospelto youbesidesthatwhichwehavepreachedtoyou,lethimbeanathema."(Gal. i.8.)

OutsidetheCatholicChurchnew creedsarebeingmadeeverydayby thosecallingthemselvesChristians. Theseareman-madereligions.There isonlyone'Creedintheworldthatis notman-madeandthatistheCreed whichhascomedowntousfromthe ApostleswhoreceiveditfromJesus Christ,theSonofGod:"Ibelievein God,theFatherAlmighty,Creatorof heavenandearth;andinJesusChrist, HisonlySon,OurLord,WhowasconceivedbytheHolyGhost,bornofthe VirginMary,sufferedunderPontius Pilate,wascrucified,died,andwas buried;Hedescendedintohell;the thirddayHeroseagainfromthedead; HeascendedintoHeaven,sittethat therighthandofGod,theFatherAlmighty;fromthenceHeshallcometo judgethelivingandthedead.IbelieveintheHolyGhost;theHolyCatholicChurch;thecommunionof saints;theforgivenessofsins;theresurrectionofthebody;andlifeeverlasting.Amen."(Apostles'Creed.)
