Nicene Creed

The Nicene Creed and truth about the Trinity Christ’s apostles lived in the era when the teaching of the Gospel was very accuracy, however as the last apostles passed on, the teaching became much distorted from the truth. This misrepresentation of the Gospel or the Biblical truth spread though out and became indeed popular. The Pagans step in to increase membership in the churches with ritual and custom that used the study of the Bible as the foundation for the numerous creeds and sects. The church and politics became powerful forces to the Christian leaders as they spread the religious beliefs. The Nicene Creed was introduced in A. D. 325, by the Council of Nicea. The Nicene Creed has been accepted and recognized as the universal…

Methodists accept the Nicene Creed and Apostles' Creed as containing the core tenets of the Christian faith. and many congregations recite one or the other weekly in their worship services. The officially binding theological statements are not the creeds, but what are called the "Articles of Religion," which are drawn from the Anglican Church's Articles of Religion. Methodists are ecumenical and willing to work with and learn from Christians of other denominations. They believe in bringing their…

To further clarify questions about Christian belief, the Council of Nicaea created the Nicene Creed. This creed was the most famous result of the council and was a statement and proclamation of faith that was issued by the bishops that made up the council. The Nicene Creed, signed at the council was very clear in its position on the arguments that brought the council together: We believe…in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten from the Father, only-begotten, that is, from the…

For the majority of my life, I attended a non-denominational church, where we welcome all types of backgrounds and different combinations of Christian beliefs. Our church does not recite any historical creeds, but we do state our confessions. Alike, most Christians, we believe that God is the Father, Jesus is the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Christology can compare with Nicene orthodoxy because it is based on the study of Christ. I can agree with the Nicene Creed because I believe that the aspects…

Necessitated by the three way schism within Arianism, Basil the Great and the Cappadocian Fathers further developed the Nicene Creed to attract the more moderate Arians, as well as answer the heresies of Macedonianism. The Fathers distinguished the persons of Father, Son, and Spirit, separate from the substance of the Godhead. “It sanctioned the theology of the Neo-Nicenes, confessed that the Spirit, too, was homoousios, and thus apparently enlarged the Nicene symbol…” (Margull, p.…

The west resurrected Tertullian’s view in the debate in that Christ was two natures in one person. This reasoning balanced and helped a compromise to be reached between the East and its notions but the controversy was still not over. The Nicene Creed which took place prior in the Trinitarian Controversy was still an issue. Apollinaris of Laodicea who was a strong supporter of the the Nicene Creed believed he could help the situation. He formulated a doctrine which stated that Christ had no…

After the first ecumenical council, during the life of Emperor Constantine, the findings of the first ecumenical council were maintained and the Creed of Nicaea Prevailed. However, almost immediately after Constantine’s death in 337 controversies arose and lasted for more than forty years. The two sides of the controversy were made up of those who supported the findings in Nicaea and those who still supported the Arian views. This controversy ended up lasting until the Second ecumenical council…

revolve around the trinity and religious devotion surrounding the monastics. One of the most reoccurring issues in Christianity was distinguishing whether Jesus was truly God and whether he had both a human or divine nature. The recurring issue would, later be identified as the Trinity. The controversy concerning the Trinity was first referenced in 325A.D., at the first ecumenical council of Nicaea. The council of Nicaea set out to assemble a universal Christian doctrine, which resulted in the…

The Council of Nicea was a group of bishops convened to Bithynia by the Roman emperor Constantine I in Ad 325. This was the first effort to attain a consensus in the church through an assembly representing through all of the Christian kingdom. Its main accomplishments was the settlement of the Christian issue and their nature of the Son of God and his connection to the God the Father and the construction of the Creed of Nicaea. The Construction of the first council resulted in the first…

The Gospel reading was read by one of the priests from what appeared to be a special Bible with thin pages. Next, there was a short homily given by one of the priest. It was the shortest reflection I had ever heard, lasting only about five minutes. The Priest spoke in a hurried fashion about an awkward family dinner he attended. Soon, there was a murmur of “Amen” from the congregation and we were onto the next service element. The Priest led the congregation in the Profession of Faith printed…
