13th century artist depiction of claimed origin of the “Apostles’ Creed”
The Continuing Church of God (CCOG) is pleased to announce the following video for our Bible News Prophecy program:
Roman and Eastern Orthodox Catholics, Lutherans, and various others except versions of something referred to as the “Apostles’ Creed.” Were any of these creeds actually spoken by the original apostles? Do any of the creeds come directly from the Bible? When was the Nicene Creed adopted? How important is that to the Greek Orthodox? What did Emperor Theodosius do in 380 A.D.? Was Jesus’ claimed descent into Hades part of it? What about the sequel to the movie, ‘The Passion of the Christ’? What about the so-called filioque clause? What is the creed at the website of the Vatican? Which ‘creed’ is considered to be the oldest? What does the creed known as the “old Roman form” actually state? Was the ‘Roman’ creed directly taken from writings of Irenaeus of Lyon, Marcellus of Ancyra, Tertullian of Carthage, Origen of Alexandia, and the ‘antipope’ Novation? Were the early creeds trinitarian? What about Gregory Thaumatugis? When was the ‘Received Creed’ developed? What about the Athanasian Creed? Is there an Antioch creed? What did the so-called “Constantinople Creed” state that former Nazarenes were supposed to declare? Why should anyone care about any of these creeds? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.
