The Nicene Creed

The Nicene Creed

I 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, God of God, 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 Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he 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, and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spake by the Prophets. And one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

I shout also Pastor Kraig for a glimpse once again of the suffering, death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I shout because of who He is and what He means to me and my life. I never tire of acknowledging that He is Lord. Thank you Pastor because like you, I also believe.

Glory to God in the highest!

Greetings Kraig L. Pullam

Should we not consider the fact that the Nicene creed was neither the creed of Jesus nor his disciples!!

They never spoke of "God of God ... very God of very God"

To them, there is solely
ONE GOD, the Father.
[John 17.3, 1 Cor 8.4,6]

Therefore,
I recommend this video:
The Human Jesus

Take a couple of hours to watch it; and prayerfully it will aid you in your quest for truth.

Yours In Messiah
