The first article of the Apostles' Creed addresses the belief in God the Father, the Almighty Creator of heaven and earth. It affirms the fundamental Christian conviction of God's sovereignty and role as the origin of all creation. This article emphasizes the relationship between believers and God as their creator, establishing a foundation for the rest of the creed's teachings.

Explain the article 1 of the Apostles Creed?

Who from the Apostles created the first article of the Apostles Creed?

The LegendLegend states that the creed took shape at the dictation of the Twelve Apostles, each of whom contributed a special article. Thus, Peter, it was alleged, under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, commenced, "I believe in God the Father Almighty"; Andrew (or according to others, John) continued, "And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord"; James the elder went on, "Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost," etc. This legend is not older than the 5th or 6th centuries, and is absurd on the face of it.

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.

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.

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.
