THE DAMNABLE NICENE CREED OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH - 325 AD.The Council of Nicaea, held in 325 AD, was the keynote event of the Roman Catholic Church in which its first core doctrines were defined and set forth. The Nicene Creed is effectively the germ form of the doctrine of the non-existent TRINITY.
Here is the original TEXT of the Nicene Creed of 325 AD,
with my commentary on the Biblical error of each declaration in parenthesis.
****
WE BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, THE FATHER ALMIGHTY,
MAKER OF ALL THINGS VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE.
(The above statement is without controversy.
It is true. There is ONE GOD – THE FATHER.)
****
AND IN ONE LORD JESUS CHRIST,
THE SON OF GOD, BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER.
(This statement, standing alone, is perfectly true.)
****
[THE ONLY BEGOTTEN; THAT IS,
OF THE ESSENCE OF THE FATHER,
GOD OF GOD,]
LIGHT OF LIGHT,
VERY GOD OF VERY GOD,
(This statement is WITHOUT any Biblical basis or support.
The scriptures DO NOT teach that the Son is "God of God," or "Light of Light," or "Very God of Very God."
Such claims erroneously establish a SEPARATE AND EQUAL ESSENCE to the Father.
Such is the erroneous basis for a co-equal, co-eternal son.
Nothing in the scriptures show Christ to be of SEPARATE AND EQUAL ESSENCE.
He is the INCARNATION of God's one and only essence.
The ESSENCE of Christ is not a SEPARATE divine essence.
Jesus Christ is a MAN born of a woman, and
the SOVEREIGN, SINGULAR ESSENCE of the Father is embodied in Him -
NOT a SEPARATE, EQUAL divine essence.
The FATHER is IN the SON. THE SON is NOT “GOD OF GOD.”
"GOD WAS IN CHRIST, RECONCILING THE WORLD TO HIMSELF."
Jesus Christ is the "FULLNESS" of God bodily - not 1/3 of God bodily [Colossians 2:9]).
****
BEGOTTEN, NOT MADE,
BEING OF ONE SUBSTANCE WITH THE FATHER;
(This statement CONTRADICTS the preceding statement.
Is the Son, "GOD OF GOD" or simply "GOD?"
Is He the Father, or is He SEPARATE AND EQUAL TO the Father?
He CANNOT BE BOTH.
The first is true, not the latter.
Jesus Christ IS THE FATHER INCARNATE in flesh, in a man,
the only begotten (of a woman) son.
God did NOT beget a SEPARATE or EQUAL divine son.
God will not share His glory with another. Jesus was a man in whom God dwelled.
He was not a CO-EQUAL or CO-ETERNAL divinity.
God the Father begat a HUMAN son, and dwelled in Him.)
****
BY WHOM ALL THINGS WERE MADE
[BOTH IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH];
(Jesus Christ created all things inasmuch as THE FATHER who is EMBODIED in Him IS THE CREATOR of all things. Jesus said, “When you have seen me, you have seen the Father." "I and my Father are ONE." - not two co-equal, co-eternal entities.
****
WHO FOR US MEN, AND FOR OUR SALVATION
CAME DOWN AND WAS INCARNATE AND WAS MADE MAN;
(This is a GREAT HERESY. This spuriously-purported SEPARATE and EQUAL Son
DID NOT COME DOWN from Heaven to be made a man.
The ONE true God - the FATHER - conceived a child in Mary,
and when the child was born, the Father was embodied in Him.
The Son did not come down from Heaven - the FATHER did,
in the form of a man
God is INVISIBLE and BODILESS, but in the Son, the invisible God can now be seen.
Jesus Christ is "the image of the invisible God," Colossians 1:15.
He is NOT the image of the second person of the trinity.
He is the image of the Father.)
****
HE SUFFERED, AND THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE AGAIN,
ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN;
FROM THENCE HE SHALL COME TO JUDGE THE QUICK AND THE DEAD.
(This is a legitimate statement.)
****
AND IN THE HOLY GHOST.
(The Holy Ghost is the FATHER.
Three times, the scriptures affirm that the SON was CONCEIVED of the HOLY GHOST.
Therefore, the HOLY GHOST is the FATHER!
The Father of Jesus is the Holy Ghost!
God is ONLY ONE SPIRIT.
The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of Christ.
Jesus is the embodiment of the Holy Ghost.
When we receive/are baptized with the Holy Ghost,
we receive the Spirit of Christ.
God is only ONE Spirit, NOT THREE Spirits!)
****
[BUT THOSE WHO SAY:
'THERE WAS A TIME WHEN HE WAS NOT;'
and 'HE WAS NOT BEFORE HE WAS MADE;'
and 'HE WAS MADE OUT OF NOTHING,'
or 'HE IS OF ANOTHER SUBSTANCE' or 'ESSENCE,'
or 'THE SON OF GOD IS CREATED,'
or 'CHANGEABLE,' or 'ALTERABLE'—
THEY ARE CONDEMNED
BY THE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH.]
(This statement is the crowning indictment against the Roman Catholic Church.
In this statement, the Catholic [non]-church utterly denies the true teachings of the Deuteronomy 6:4 - “Hear O Israel, the LORD our GOD is ONE LORD.”
The ONE LORD of the Bible is GOD the FATHER/HOLY SPIRIT/HOLY GHOST.
God is ONE Spirit.
God is ONE LORD.
God is ONE person.
God is ONE entity.
Jesus Christ is a MAN born of a woman, IN WHOM God the Father dwells.
The SON is NOT EQUAL to the Father in essence.
Jesus explicitly said, "My FATHER is GREATER than I."
That does NOT describe two co-equal, co-eternal entities.
That utterly refutes the claims of the triunity of God.
Jesus also said,
“The SON of MAN can do NOTHING of Himself,” JOHN 5:19.
“THE FATHER WORKETH,” JOHN 5:17.)
THE SON OF MAN is not a miracle worker.
THE FATHER, who DWELLS IN THE SON does the miracles.
Therefore, this statement is TRUE!
"There was a time when he was not;"
because Jesus DID NOT EXIST before He was formed/conceived in Mary's womb.
And, this statement is also true!
"HE WAS NOT BEFORE HE WAS MADE;"
There was NO SON OF MAN or SON OF GOD prior to the virgin birth.
and
"THE SON OF GOD IS CREATED."
He most certainly was created! The Son of God was FORMED/CONCEIVED as a human in Mary's womb.
Jesus did not exist as the Son prior to that.
He only existed in the form of the BODILESS GOD, the FATHER.
FURTHERMORE, THE NICENE CREED
CONDEMNS ALL THOSE WHO DECLARE
WHAT I HAVE JUST DECLARED TO YOU.
The Roman Catholic "church" condemns the doctrine of the ONENESS OF GOD.
In subsequent creeds, the Catholic Church forcefully calls for the DEATH of all who hold to the doctrine of the ONENESS OF GOD.
But CONTRARY TO THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH,
the BIBLE CONDEMNS all who deny that God [the Father] is IN CHRIST.
John said in 1 John 2:22 and 4:3 that
"every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ [Jehovah Savior]
is come in the flesh is not of God; and that is the spirit of ANTICHRIST.")
Jesus said, "No man cometh unto the Father but by the Son."
Now that the FATHER is embodied in the SON, it is IMPOSSIBLE to approach the FATHER while in denial of the Son.
It is impossible to approach the FATHER while you are in denial that the SON is the EMBODIMENT of the FATHER.
Therefore:
THE NICENE CREED IS A DEMONIC DOCTRINE.
THE TRINITY DOCTRINE IS A DEMONIC DOCTRINE.
THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD – NOT THREE.
THERE ARE NOT THREE CO-EQUAL, CO-ETERNAL PERSONS IN THE GODHEAD.
THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD, AND JESUS IS LORD.
“And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him [the son of man],
and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father,” Philippians 2:8-11.
JESUS IS LORD.
JESUS IS THE FATHER incarnate in the SON.
GOD IS NOT A TRINITY. GOD IS ONE SPIRIT.
The Nicene Creed is a demonic doctrine.
The Roman Catholic Church is a FALSE, DEMONIC "church."
