Nicene Creed

mysterious ways 1. Jesus Christ- the Son of the Living God A central part of the profession of the Catholic Faith is the belief that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, this can be seen in the Apostles Creed where we proclaim that we “believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord”, and in the Nicene Creed “We believe in …..one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God “, (Socias, James D, 2013). In this passage, Peter identifies Jesus as the Messiah, “the Son of the Living God” (Matthew 16:16),…

My current church affiliation is Roman Catholic. The church service I attended is Presbyterian. I attended Grace Presbyterian church November 1 2015. The church started off with the opening call to worship. I got the opportunity to witness the sacrament of baptism in the Presbyterian style. The church had a band and a choir. The choir sang the hymn and the band sang songs of worship. The tradition of worship is a mixture of reformed and revivalist. The history behind the church goes back to the…

me, it is the Holy Ghost that helps us to keep God’s word embedded in our hearts. The council of Nicene of 325 AD. helped to bring to mind that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost work as one. I think that this sets the very foundation of our belief in the Trinity. Those 220 Bishops really had their job cut out for them. I do believe that this session took a while to come to an end. The Nicene Creed set the standard for the Rankins 2 Christian…

encounters proves challenging (Morreall, 2012). A majority of encounters were written after they physically took place, a prime example of this is the Resurrection of Jesus: it became a significant important part of Christian doctrines, specifically the Nicene Creed (Morreall, 2012). Belief in religion causes people to have a lack of trust in science, making them hold on to religious practices in spite…

Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus Augustus, known to history as Constantine the Great, was the Roman Emperor from 306 to 337 AD and played a vital role in this religious movement. The Orthodox (Roman Catholic) and Arianism sects eventually became the primary…

human emotions, his human birth and death and also his human needs and form. Jesus is confirmed to be divine because of his title of Lord and the fact that he is the son of God. His conception within the Virgin Mary also confirmed his divinity. The Nicene Creed also mentions Jesus as the son of God and as Lord, confirming his divinity. It also tells us how the "Son of God came down to earth and was made man". When Catholics say this at mass they are being taught about Jesus' dual nature.…

(Edwards 97). Yet, another great theologian Jürgen Moltmann stated, “In hell the trumpet signalling liberation has already been heard” (67). So, what is the truth? According to the story of Lazarus and the rich man, a possible error in the Apostle’s Creed, and Revelation, it can be determined that Hell is a real place where the unrighteous will endure eternal suffering. Luke Chapter 16 tells the story of the poor man, Lazarus, and the Rich man. This story gives insight into what actually…
