Why was the Apostles' Creed changed?
The Church didn't change the Apostle's Creed to the Nicene Creed, they are separate Creeds. They are used in different manners.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Apostles Creed is from the very early Church, the substance of the creed is formulated by the apostles, although they probably are not the authors. Originally it was used as an instruction to be memorized by the catechumens before baptism. The Nicene-Constantinople Creed was first formulated at the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325, then later added to by the Council of Constantinople in 381. It is the creed that has been prescribed for the liturgy for centuries.The Apostles Creed was formerly recited at Prime each day, is used in the Rosary, and other devotions.
Is the Apostles Creed the same as the Acts of the Apostles?
The Apostle's Creed is a statement of beliefs used by several Christian denominations including Catholicism. The Acts of the Apostles is a book in the New Testament of the Bible. It is normally placed immediately after the four gospel books and follows the early ministry of the apostles after the resurrection of Jesus.
Why was the Apostles' Creed written?
To summarise the Catholic faith so that new entrants at their baptism could recite it and confess their new beliefs! And to help people believe.
Why was the apostles creed made?
The Apostles' Creed is so called because it is rightly considered to be a faithful summary of the apostles' faith. It is the ancient baptismal symbol [creed to be recited before baptism] of the Church of Rome. It's great authority arises from this fact: it is "the Creed of the Roman Church, the See of Peter, the first of the apostles, to whom he brought the common faith." (St. Ambrose, Expl. symb.J.P. Migne, ed., Patrologia Latina {Paris: 1841-1855} 17, 1196 ) Catechism of the Catholic Church # 194The word "creed" comes from the Latin word credo,meaning "I believe." It was called "Apostles" not because the apostles themselves wrote it (although some people may have thought this), but because the Creed was believed to be an accurate summary of what the apostles taught.The Creed was useful in several ways:The Creed was a public statement of faith, a standardized way in which new people could confess their faith in Jesus Christ.The Creed anchored Christian faith to a tradition, to make it difficult for people or churches to be led astray by strange doctrines.The Creed was a preaching and teaching tool, giving an outline for further discipleship.The Creed was memorized through frequent repetition, which helped the many believers who could not read.The Creed provided a doctrinal basis for different churches to accept one another, and to reject those who did not accept the basic truths.The Bible itself contains brief creed-like statements (1 Cor. 8:6; 15:3-4; 1 Tim. 3:16).
How is the Catholic New Testament like the New King James version?
The New King James version is a protestant translation of the Catholic New Testament.
What is the new version of the apostles creed?
There could hardly be a 'new version' of the apostles creed. Either the apostles wrote the creed; or they did not. If they wrote it, there should not be a 'new version' of it; and it still be called the 'apostles' creed. If they did not write it, then it should not be called : the 'apostle's' creed; it would simply be 'a creed'.Professor G. C. Stead wrote in The ExpositoryTimes: "Anyone who has read at all extensively in early Christian literature is bound to come to a different conclusion." He argued that if there was in existence a creed formally designed and approved by the apostles, it would be difficult to explain why there were so many different 'confessions' and 'statements of faith' in existence among the early churches. The fact is that "a statement of Christian belief which approximately agrees in wording with the Apostles' Creed cannot be found in any surviving writing earlier than A.D. 340."Avery Dulles of the Catholic University of America: "probably no period in history has seen such a burgeoning of new credal formulas as our own." Today, among the churches of Christendom, "there are over 150 officially recognized creeds and confessions," says the Encyclopædia Britannica.
Is the Apostles Creed found in the Bible?
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.
Who are some leaders in the Catholic Church that take the place of the Apostles?
All bishops, including archbishops, cardinals and the pope are today's "apostles." That is why the Catholic Church is called "apostolic." The apostles were the original bishops. Over time the apostles appointed new bishops who continued the process even until today.
How are the Apostles' Creed and Nicene Creed similar to yet different from each other?
They are very similar. In fact, the Nicene creed is essentially a lengthened version of the Apostles' creed containing everything that the Apostles' creed has in it. There is only one exception where the Apostles' creed has new information: the Apostles' creed states that Jesus descended into the dead before rising in three days whereas the Nicene creed does not mention the descending of Jesus into the dead. Both creeds are used in Masses said around the world as an acceptable prayer that occurs after the Homily at the start of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. It is up to the local Bishop's preference. In the United States, the Nicene creed is used most typically. The Apostles' creed is typically used when saying a Rosary.
When was the apostle creed made?
The first mention of the title of the Apostles' Creed appeared in a letter written around 390 CE, but the Creed itself may date back to the late second century. Some believe that the Apostles's Creed was inspired by parts of the New Testament, including Ephesians 4:9, which would certainly rule out any involvement by the apostles (including Paul) in writing it.
What are the Catholic religion's special books?
The Holy Catholic bible which includes the Old Testament and the New Testament along with other writings resulting from the apostles.
