  1. Christ our True God - Begotten of the Father Before All Ages

    @BobRyan To be clear, the Nicene Creed says that our Jesus Christ our Lord, God and Savior was Begotten of the Father before all ages. In my previous post I was concerned, and still am concerned, because you appear to possibly be denying “before all ages.” And the scripture backing that is...
  2. Does Your Church Recite the Creed on Sunday?

    I am seeking to find out how many members have the experience of Eastern, Oriental or Assyrian Orthodox, Roman and Eastern Catholics, most Anglicans and many Lutherans of hearing the Nicene, Apostles or even the Athanasian Creed every Sunday. If you are a member of a Protestant Church other...
  3. Sola Scriptura vs. Nuda Scriptura

    A member in another thread asked me an interesting question, which I have posted here to avoid derailing the thread and also to not give the misleading appearance of criticizing anyone participating in that thread, for nothing in this reply was written in response to the comments or beliefs of...
  4. Malankara Orthodox priest Fr. Jake and Dn. Aju discuss the Nicene Creed as recited in the MOC

    I found this video the other day when looking for a translation of the Nicene Creed in Syriac, as I had heard that there was some different wording than the standard version used in the other OO churches. Instead we see that there were at least differences in the English translation, which have...
  5. 'and' in the Nicene Creed

    1 We believe in one God, 2 the Father, the Almighty, 3 maker of heaven and earth, 4 of all that is, seen and unseen. 5 We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, 6 the only Son of God, 7 eternally begotten of the Father, 8 God from God, Light from Light, 9 true God...
  6. Is a creed other than the Nicene or Apostles' Creed ever used?

    I am legitimately curious now to see whether any other of our active practising Anglicans have been in a parish or congregation where a creed other than the Apostles' Creed or Nicene Creed has been used. At our parish, our praise service, that is the contemporary 'evangelical' service, uses a...
  7. Did Christ Become The Son Of God?

    Disclaimer: I realize this has likely been discussed before on this forum. It does not seem to be a current topic though, so a new discussion here can be beneficial to those who are new to the forum, or to those unlikely to dig through past threads and innumerable posts to see where the...
  8. Nicene Creed, Apostles Creed, or Athanasian Creed: Which is Your Favorite?

    Which is your favorite traditional Christian creed from the three options in the poll? It doesn't have to be your favorite for doctrinal reasons (Though it can be), you can just like the word usage or have fond memories of hearing it recited at mass or whatever. I'm going with the Nicene...
  9. Nicene Creed in the Liturgy

    Please not this is not about the filioque or the version of the Nicene Creed It is also not about the position of the Creed in the Liturgy Since the third council of the Toledo in 579 there has been widespread use of the Nicene Creed in the Eucharistic Liturgy of the Western Church. I don't...
