Nicene Creed
Nicene Creed
The term "Creed" used to mean 'I engage'. It was supposed to be a personal profession of your deeply held opinion which provoke you to action. Any official creed of the the Holy Church established by Jesus the Christ should consist only of the words of Christ and the Doctrines of Jesus since the Church was "founded and established by Jesus Christ, to receive, preserve, and propagate his doctrines and ordinances" and He granted no authority to exercise control over the faith of the people. The Holy Spirit is to be our guide and comforter.
Where did God grant the right of anyone the authority[1] to impose their opinion on anyone else?
Alexander of Alexandria sought to excommunicate Eusebius as a heretic until Eusebius submitted and agreed to the Nicene Creed at the First Council of Nicea in 325.
The original
The original Nicene Creed was first adopted in 325 at the First Council of Nicaea. At that time, the text ended with the words "We believe in the Holy Spirit", after which various anathemas against Arian propositions were added.
The Second Ecumenical Council held in Constantinople in 381 as a modification of the original Nicene Creed of 325 produced the "Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed" or the "Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed". It also came to be very commonly known simply as the "Nicene Creed". It is the only authoritative ecumenical statement of the Christian faith accepted by the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Anglican, and the major Protestant denominations.
The Creed of the Apostles and Athanasian creeds are not as widely accepted. The Apostles' Creed makes no explicit statements about the divinity of the Son and the Holy Spirit, but, in the view of many who use it, the doctrine is implicit in it.
What about the creed?
Who is to define and explain it?
Is not agreeing on how it is applied an important thing?
We believe that agreeing as to the meaning of the creed is dependent on agreeing with Christ through the Doctrines of Jesus. That is a process that may require mutual rebuke and reproof amongst men and women over a long time. The agreement we seek comes in time as we seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness... The Church is a system in which you may seek the way of Christ.
Joining the Church or a Church does not make your salvation real. Dividing people over their personal opinions concerning the Doctrines of Jesus vs the doctrines of men seems to be against the teachings of Christ. It is joining with Christ in spirit and in truth that we must seek. The Church should never come between the spiritual engagement of that connection to the Holy Spirit sent by Christ through faith.
