Answer 1

Pastor Billy says: several good answer and several bad ones.

The Nicene creed is correctly called a profession of our Christian faith, a credo meaning "l believe". It was established because the orthodoxy of the Christian faith was being attacked hence the public pronouncement of what Christianity had always professed as truth of Jesus and of the Church occurred here.

It pronounced the believe that Jesus was not a creation but the second person of the Holy Trinity. It clearly established the orthodoxy of Trinity doctrine. The creed also pronounced the Christian believe of resurrection and the authority of the Catholic Church. Contrary to another posters belief the word Catholic doesn't simply mean something invisible or merely universal as in geographical. The creed was first written in Greek and then Latin. The Greek meaning of Katholikos was taken from 2 other words cata and holos meaning according to the whole. What we are talking about here is unity of doctrine and belief and this does not refer to anything but what is now called Roman Catholicism in the west and Eastern Orthodoxy in the east as both of these groups were fully unity at the time and it was the Catholic/Orthodox fathers at this council who formulated this credo. There were no Protestant officals at Nicaea therefore it is lunacy to assume the creed is written for and to Protestantism (Baptists included).

Here is what St. Augustine writes on where you find the Catholic Church of the Nicene creed,

"[T]here are many other things which most properly can keep me in [the Catholic Church’s] bosom. The unanimity of peoples and nations keeps me here. Her authority, inaugurated in miracles, nourished by hope, augmented by love, and confirmed by her age, keeps me here. The succession of priests, from the very see of the apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after his resurrection, gave the charge of feeding his sheep [John 21:15–17], up to the present episcopate, keeps me here. And last, the very name Catholic, which, not without reason, belongs to this Church alone, in the face of so many heretics, so much so that, although all heretics want to be called ‘Catholic,’ when a stranger inquires where the Catholic Church meets, none of the heretics would dare to point out his own basilica or house" (Against the Letter of Mani Called "The Foundation" 4:5 [A.D. 397]).

You ask is it scripture? is it opinion? is it correct? is it revelation? My answer is it is all of these as it is supported by scripture,opinio, revelation and truth.

Answer 4

The Nicean creed was the acid test created by the early church fathers to identify what a Christian believes

Answer 5

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 salvation. 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 6

It is revelation and it is how we interpret the scriptures. The majority of Christians worldwide accept that creed, and i am not just talking about Catholics. I have seen it in Anglican and other non-Catholic churches. If someone considers it opinion that means that they have a different belief system. Peace be with you

Answer 7

the creed is a statement of belief

Answer 8

pagan philosophy and decrees of political rulers helped to shape the doctrine of the Trinity and give it the popularity it has today.
