We believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father by whom all things were made; who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And he shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And we believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
We could argue about what a lot of those things mean. Do we believe that the dead will be resurrected? Actually and bodily resurrected from the graves? Some do.
And seems we once tried to explain "on the third day he rose" Didn't agree on that one either.
Yeah, alot of this very debatable as to what it really means. I guess to break it down it recognizes Father, Son, Holy Spirit as 3 seperate yet interconnected beings. No?
I don't even agree with the term "Nicene Creed"!!! I thought it was called the Apostle's Creed?!!!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
sweet tea or unsweet?...to be or not to be that is the question..is a zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes...what color is a white rock if you throw it into the red sea???
1. why does something coming by ship called CARGO
and something by car or truck called a SHIPMENT?
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He arose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.
It's supposed to be the oldest Creed.
Do you suppose that all the posters understand this meaning of Catholic?

the creed i heard-im not catholic, simply said one holy church..then I found out there were literally dozens of different wordings
catholic: from the Greek word Katholikos which means "throughout the whole" or "universal." This implies a world-wide faith, rather than a local one. The term can refer to the notion that all Christians are part of one Church, regardless of denominational divisions.
The word today is employed by those Christians (Catholics) who claim to be in possession of a historical and continuous tradition of faith and practice, as opposed to Protestants, who tend to find their ultimate standards in the Bible as interpreted on the principles of the Reformation.
