Re: Athanasian Creed

Apostles' Creed

1. I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:

2. And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:

3. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary:

4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell:

5. The third day he rose again from the dead:

6. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:

7. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead:

8. I believe in the Holy Ghost:

9. I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of saints:

10. The forgiveness of sins:

1l. The resurrection of the body:

12. And the life everlasting. Amen.

This one is much better.

This pretty much sums it up for me!

This one was formulated to try and unite all the Christians who believed that Jesus was (is) God and to rally them against the Arians who were the dominant sect from the death of Constantine until about the time of the Emperor Theodosius.

The longer "Athanasian Creed" (which had nothing to do with Athanasius himself) came along centuries later and represented something of a bungling of both Tertullian's language and his theology. It would be another 1200+ years before folks finally began to straighten out some of these misapprehensions.

And... I agree. The older "Nicene" creed does represent a good pithy set of statements to which all Christians can identify - though many today would want to make it less pithy.

AMEN!!!

That's Christianity 101 as far as I am concerned.

I actually confess/speak out that creed as part of my prayers.

Re: Athanasian Creed

or


I believe in one God who has revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost and His name is Jesus.


that's a little more condensed but it doesn't cover some of the other stuff in The Apostles' Creed.
