Biblical Foundations of Civics- Lecture 5- The Creeds Of Christendom- The Foundations of Western Social Order- Part 2 of 2- Political Outworking

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Civics-Lecture-5.mp3 Every social order rests on a creed. Last week we saw how the creed of the Roman Empire shifted from completely pagan, gnostic Platonism to the increasingly developed Christianity of the creeds: The Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Creed of Constantinople, the Chalcedonian Creed, and the Athanasian Creed. In this lecture Pastor Matt follows these creeds through history as they walk out of the sanctuary & into coronations, law codes, &, eventually, constitutions. The people who confess them go home, write laws, crown kings, build courts & parliaments. Change the creed and you eventually change the entire government of a people—its laws, its structures, & its institutions. These doctrinal statements became the very bones of Western law & government.
