AnswerIt must be remembered that the Apostles Creed was not actually set down by the apostles themselves. The oldest known record of an early version of the Creed comes from the late fourth century. It must already have been quite old by that time, since it does not address issues that were unresolved during much of the fourth century, including the divinity of Jesus and of the Holy Ghost, and the concept of the Holy Trinity.

Even with these omissions, the Apostles Creed is still simply a statement of faith. Whether religious faith should ever be called blind faith is another matter.

There is no "apostles' creed" (nor is the word "creed" used at all) in the Bible.AnswerThere are several places in the New Testament that may reflect early forms of the creed: Romans 10:9-10, 1 Corinthians 15:4 and 1 Timothy 3:16. The Apostles Creed was an attempt to provide succinct statements which summarized the heart of the Christian faith. It was not written by the Apostles but it certainly reflects their teachings. It's earliest form appeared in Rome about A.D. 340.


When was the masonic creed adopted by the masons?

A creed is a statement of faith or beliefs, coming from the Latin word "credo" meaning "I believe" which is the first word in the Latin version of the Apostles' Creed. There is no "masonic creed" because masons do not have a set of beliefs which are common to all of them. (Every Mason has his own set of beliefs of course) The Masonic Order does have principles on which it is founded as all organizations do, but these are not beliefs.
