What else can I help you with?
What are the two creeds of the Catholic Church?
There are actually three creeds: the popular Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed as well as the Athanasian Creed.
How many creeds are in the Lutheran Church?
three, The Apostles Creed, The Nicene Creed, and The Athanasian Creed.
Which came first the Apostles Creed or the Nicene Creed?
Some attribute the Apostles Creed to the twelve apostles themselves, although scholars for the most part believe it was constituted in either the latter first or second century. In any account, it is older than the Nicene Creed.
When is the Nicene creed used in mass?
I just found out the answer to this. The Nicene creed is used in mass (Eucharist) whereas the Apostles' creed is used at baptism, usually in an interrogative form. Read more about it here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostles'_Creed
What is the basic statement containing what catholics believe?
That would be either the Apostles' Creed or the Nicene Creed.
What are the different versions of the Apostles' Creed and how do they differ from each other?
The Apostles' Creed has several versions, but the most common one is the Nicene Creed. The main difference between them is that the Nicene Creed includes more detailed statements about the nature of Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Why is the nicene creed different than the apostles creed?
The Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed differ primarily in their theological content and historical context. The Nicene Creed, formulated at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, was developed to address specific heresies, particularly Arianism, and emphasizes the divinity of Christ and the Trinity. In contrast, the Apostles' Creed is an earlier statement of faith that summarizes the apostles' teachings and focuses more on the foundational aspects of Christian belief without addressing specific doctrinal controversies. As a result, the Nicene Creed is more detailed and reflects the theological debates of the early Church.
What other creeds do we have besides the Nicene Creed?
There exist also the Apostles' Creed and the Athanasian Creed, but the Eastern Orthodox Church only uses the Nicene Creed during its services. In the Catholic Church the Nicene Creed is primarily used during Mass. However, the Apostles' Creed is sometimes substituted, especially for a children's Mass. The Apostles' Creed is used most frequently in daily prayers, such as the rosary. The Athanasian Creed is extremely long and almost never used except as an historical reference.
What creed do you use during Lent?
The same Creed that you use year round. Thus it would be the Nicene Creed at Mass, and the Apostles Creed when you are praying the rosary.
Why do we say the Nicene Creed at Mass instead of the Apostles' Creed?
The Nicene Creed is said at Mass because it is a more detailed and comprehensive statement of Christian beliefs compared to the Apostles' Creed. It was formulated by early Christian leaders at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD to address specific theological controversies of the time. The Nicene Creed is considered to be a more authoritative and universally accepted statement of faith within the Catholic Church.
