The Nicene Creed
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:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
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.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He 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.
I realize that there are some critics of the early church and the council at Nicea. I fail to see what real proof any of the antichrist scholars ever have really produced. Jesus Christ is more than a mere hybrid story from some ancient Pagan myth. Clearly, the very fact that so many lives have been changed because of Him speaks far more to me than a host of intellectual scholars who debunk Biblical accuracy and attempt to rewrite History without the Messiah. Its all good, because these naysayers will someday bow at the feet of the God they have rejected. Jesus died so that we may live. God is not mean.
Anyone who says so has no authority to make such a comment, because humanity has caused all of the evil ever done. God, after all, does not cause earthquakes and hurricanes, DOES HE, scientists?
