CREED -- a brief, authoritative, formal statement of religious beliefs. The word creed comes from the Latin word credo ("I believe"), the first word of both the Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed.
There are three most historically important, creeds of the Church.

The Nicene Creed. A creed adopted by the First Council of Nicaea (A.D. 325) and revised by the First Council of Constantinople (A.D. 381). The First Council of Nicaea, convened by the Roman emperor Constantine the Great (ruled A.D. 306-307), rejected a heresy known as Arianism, which denied the divinity of Jesus. The Nicene Creed formally proclaimed the divinity and equality of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in the Trinity.

The Apostles' Creed. This well-known creed lies at the basis of most other religious statements of belief. Although it bears the name of the apostles, it did not originate with them. It was written after the close of the New Testament and it held an important place in the early Church.

The Athanasian Creed. A Christian creed originating in Europe in the fourth century and relating especially to the doctrines of the Trinity and the bodily INCARNATION of Christ. This creed was originally ascribed to Saint Athanasius, but it is now believed to be the work of an unknown writer of the time.

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -

God bestows more consideration on the purity of intention with which our actions are performed than on the actions themselves - Saint August...
