I went to Wikipedia because it has all versions of the text, including Latin. And it is reliable. I have a long history within the church, majored in religion, and spent a year in seminary.
The judgment mentioned in each creed is God's judgment, not human judgment.

They do not omit it at all. Read the Bible
1 Corinthians 13

The Apostles' Creed is so suggested as with the aid of fact that's rightly seen to be a committed precis of the apostles' faith. this is the classic baptismal image of the Church of Rome. Its large authority arises from this actuality: that's 'the Creed of the Roman Church, the See of Peter, the 1st of the apostles, to which he delivered the consumer-friendly faith." The Niceno-Constantinopolitan or Nicene Creed attracts its large authority from the reality that it stems from the 1st 2 ecumenical Councils (in 325 and 381). It maintains to be consumer-friendly to each and all of the large church homes of the two East and West to this present day. They progressed at diverse cases to handle diverse issues, this is why they're worded in a various way. The Apostle's Creed is greater primitive, and the Nicene Creed is greater progressed, having been written some hundred years later. They the two serve greater or less an identical purpose.

The Nicene and Apostles creeds are a way of placing the Christian believer in the historical context, and is not meant to be the sole statement of faith. Christian tradition and scripture is abundant in its depiction of a love relationship between God and man ,depicted in the OT in the individual Abrahamic and Davidic relationships with God, the Jewish nation and God's numerous interventions on their behalf as well as in the NT with God becoming man in the Christos, who loved and died for the world.
The creeds you mention are the historical structure of the faith and also as you stated a judgement. God looks at the heart, not the religion, not the dogma, and not the facade. It is a judgment of good vs evil not piety vs. impiety, I think.

The creeds are actually a statement of belief of what the church affirms. One of the key things that the church affirmed was that Jesus was coming to judge in the future. The creeds are not a statement about ethics or how a person should live. They are a statement of belief about what defines the church. Thus, I do not see this reference to "judgment" as a contradiction.

Strange that you think this, when the Apostles' and Nicene creeds each mention love three times and judgment only once. See detail below.

Maybe my computer screen too small, is that Henry VIII?
Think about the time when they were written. Nicene Creed was 5th century right? I think so.
All I know is that I had to recite them in religion class.

The creeds just state what we believe. Not necessarily all of our beliefs. A lot of the Nicene Creed just focuses on our belief in God's divinity as well as Jesus and the Holy Spirit being one with God. You have to consider that this was written many centuries ago and the people writting it thought much differently than us.

For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. (2 Tim 4:3,4)

I guess you'd have to call that an "oops."
Perhaps the Christians will lobby god to have the word "love" inserted into those statements the same way they lobbied to insert the words "under god" into the US Pledge of Allegiance.

I think the following are all aspects of Love.
Apostles:
...the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Nicene:
...who for us men and for our salvation
came down from heaven...He suffered...the Lord and giver of life...resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Why are you going to wiki for information and assuming that it's reliable?
