Is the Nicean creed scripture?

Question

Does it add to the Bible?

Answer 1

no it is a CREED. it just re-affirms what we believe as Christians.

Answer 2

No it isn't. The Nicean creed was written in 325 AD during the Council of Nicea, where all (or most of all) the bishops and priests of the day gathered to resolve the major conflicts of the Christian church. See even back then they could not agree on what to believe, so they gathered and debated for days and finally compiled a book (today's bible) and wrote a set of rules as to what a Christian should beleive and voila! the Nicean creed.

Answer 3

The Nicean Creed is not considered scripture. Nor as it ever been treated with the weight or authority of scripture. It is an attempt to explain the major Christian doctrines in a simple and easily understood statement.

It does not "add to the Bible", but is rather an aid to understanding it.

Answer 4

Other than "The Apostles’ Creed," the Nicene Creed is likely the most universally accepted and recognized statements of the Christian faith. The Nicene Creed was first adopted in A.D. 325 at the Council of Nicea. The Roman Emperor Constantine had convened the Council of Nicea in an attempt to unify the Christian church with one doctrine, especially on the issues of the Trinity and the deity / humanity of Jesus Christ.
Overall, the Nicene Creed is a good summary of Christian doctrine. There are two primary issues, however. First, in regards to the phrase "catholic and apostolic church" - this does not refer to the Roman Catholic church as we know it today. The word "catholic" refers to universal. The true "catholic" church is all those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ for salvatio Also, "apostolic" refers to "built on the teaching of the apostles." It is not a statement of support for "apostolic succession." Second, "baptism for the remission of sins" is not a Biblical concept.

Answer 5

except "The Apostles’ Creed," the Nicene Creed is probably the most universally huge-spread and acknowledged statements of the Christian faith. The Nicene Creed replaced into first followed in A.D. 325 on the Council of Nicea. The Roman Emperor Constantine had convened the Council of Nicea in an attempt to unify the Christian church with one doctrine, extremely on the topic matters of the Trinity and the deity / humanity of Jesus Christ. common, the Nicene Creed is a robust summary of Christian doctrine. There are 2 known subject matters, notwithstanding. First, about the word "catholic and apostolic church" - this does no longer search for suggestion from with the Roman Catholic church as all of us understand it on the instantaneous. The note "catholic" refers to known. the real "catholic" church is all those who've positioned their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. also, "apostolic" refers to "outfitted on the training of the apostles." it really is not a fact of help for "apostolic succession." 2d, "baptism for the remission of sins" isn't a Biblical idea.

Answer 6

The Nicene Creed is not written verbatim in the Bible. The thoughts conveyed, the statements and beliefs are Bible oriented. It is not actually written in the Bible but its content and meaning are derived from the Bible.

Answer 7

no it is neither scripture nor does it add to Scripture, but is taken from Scripture.

The Nicene Creed was written in 325 in Nicea. It was written as an affirmation of faith, or a "what we believe" statement to oppose a growing theological view by The Church of Alexandria that Jesus was of a "like" substance with the Father, instead of being "of" the same substance.

The Nicene Creed is used to augment the Apostles Creed which was probably written sometime in c. 1st or 2nd century, and the Athanasian Creed written about 500ad


The Nicene Creed:

I 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 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 sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.

And I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Answer 8

Study the Council of Nicea.
Anti-Semitic. It was here, at this council, that the Church Father Constantine made the current division between Judaism & Christianity. Prior to this, the "Early Church" was entirely Jewish.
No; it does not add to the Bible.

Answer 9

It is the basic creed of the Church that tell what a Christian is. It does not add to the bible. It is a summation of what a Christian is to believe.

Answer 10

No, it was a statement that came out of the Council of Nicea held in 325. It was the first unified statement of belief from the church. I believe Constantine called the council.

Answer 11

It may as well be, the scroll of Revelations barely made it in the 'Bible'. The scroll of Enoch used to be part of the 'Bible', then a few hundred years after 'John' got the message from Big Daddy up at HQ, it squeaked in. So, whatever you want to believe, it's all BS anyway.
