The Nicene Creed............?

Question

Can any of you recite the Nicene Creed? Do you know when it was written up, and what prompted the writing of it ???

Answer 1

The Nicene creed was written up by a council of Bishops and the Roman Emperor Constantine at the Council of Nicaea. There are actually two of them. The original creed was written in 325. When the council met again in 381, this time in Constantinople, they wrote a new creed which is as follows:

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 (æons), 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 Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; he was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and 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; from thence he shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceedeth from the Father, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spake by the prophets. In one holy catholic and apostolic Church; we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen

It is similar to the "Profession of Faith" recited in Catholic Mass.

Answer 2

Nicene Creed is recited by Catholics, Angelicans, Episcopal, Lutheren and many other Christian Churches. The Council of Nicea met in 325 CE at the direction of Emperor Constintine to assemble the Bible into a single Book. The creed itself a declaration of god and clearly defining the Trintity. Basically declaring Jesus to be god incarnant. The council again met in 386 CE and there were some revisions made I am less familiar with. The Bible resulting from Nicea had more books than the current Catholic and Protestant Bibles. How's that considering it's coming from an athiest. Every Christian should study this to understand where their current beliefs and Bible version come from.

Answer 3

We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, light from light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary
and became truly human.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father [and the Son],
who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

It was written in the 4th century A.D
