Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is
necessary that he hold
the catholic faith;
Which faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled,
without
doubt he shall perish
everlastingly.
And the catholic faith is
this:
That we worship one God
in Trinity, and
Trinity in
Unity;
Neither confounding the persons, nor dividing the substance.
For there is one
Person of the Father, another of the Son and
another of the Holy Spirit.
But the Godhead of
the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit is all one, the glory equal, the majesty co-eternal.
Such as the Father is, such is
the Son and such is the Holy Spirit.
The Father uncreate, the Son uncreate, and the Holy Spirit
uncreate.
The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible, and the Holy
Spirit incomprehensible.
The Father eternal, the Son eternal, and the Holy Spirit eternal.
........... And yet they are not three eternals, but
one
eternal.
As also there are
not three uncreated nor three incomprehensibles, but one uncreated and one incomprehensible.
So likewise the Father is almighty, the Son almighty, and the Holy
Spirit almighty;
........... And yet they are not three almighties, but one almighty.
So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God;
........... And yet they are not three Gods,
but one
God.
So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord, and the Holy Spirit
Lord;
........... And yet they are not three Lords,
but one
Lord.
For like as we are compelled by
the Christian verity to acknowledge every person by himself to be God and Lord;
........... so are we forbidden by the catholic
religion to say: There are three Gods or three Lords.
The Father is made of none, neither created nor begotten.
The Son is of the Father alone; not made nor created, but begotten.
The Holy Spirit is
of the Father and of
the Son; neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.
So there is one Father, not
three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; one Holy Spirit, not three
Holy Spirits.
And in this Trinity none is afore, nor after another; none is
greater, or less than another.
But the whole three persons are co-eternal, and co-equal.
So that in all things, as aforesaid, the Unity in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped.
He therefore that will be saved must thus think of the
Trinity.
Furthermore it is necessary to
everlasting salvation that he also believe rightly the
incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For the right faith is that we believe and confess that our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and man.
God of the
substance of the Father,
begotten before the worlds;
and made of the substance of His mother,
born in the world.
Perfect God and perfect man, of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting.
Equal to the Father as touching His Godhead, and inferior to the
Father as touching His manhood.
Who, although He is God and man, yet He is not two, but
one
Christ.
One, not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh,
........... but by taking of the manhood into God.
One altogether, not by the confusion of substance, but by unity of
person.
For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man, so God and man is
one Christ;
Who suffered for our salvation, descended into hell, rose again the
third day from the dead;
He ascended into heaven, He sitteth on the right hand of the Father,
God Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies;
And shall give account of their own works.
And they that have done good
shall go into life everlasting, and they that have done evil into
everlasting fire. his is the catholic faith, which except a man
believe faithfully, he cannot be saved.
Apostles' Creed
I believe in
God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven
and earth:
And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary:
Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He
descended into hell:
The third day he rose again from the dead:
He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father
Almighty:
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead:
I believe in the Holy Ghost:
I believe a holy catholic church: the communion of saints:
The forgiveness of sins:
The resurrection of the body:
And the life everlasting. Amen.
Nicene Creed
I believe in one
God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven
and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten
of the Father before all worlds;
God of God,
Light of Light,
very God of very
God;
begotten, not made, being
........... of one substance with the Father, by whom
all things were made.
Who, for us men for our
salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made
man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered
and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the
Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of
the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick
and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy
Ghost,
the Lord and Giver of Life;
who
proceeds from the
Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is
worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.
And I believe one holy catholic
and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of
sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of
the world to come. Amen.
Heb 1:1 GOD
(Theos), who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past
unto the fathers by the prophets,
1 Peter 1:11
Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it
testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that
should follow.
Rev 19:10 And I fell at his
feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am
thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of
Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of
prophecy.
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last
days
........... spoken unto us by his Son,
........... whom he hath appointed heir of all
things,
........... by whom also he made the worlds;
God's SON is that which SPEAKS
and Who MAKES all things for HIMSELF.
Heb 1:3 Who being
........... the brightness of his glory, and
........... the express image of his person,
........... and upholding all things by the word of
his power,
........... ...........
when he had by himself
purged our sins,
........... ...........
sat down on the right hand
of the Majesty on high;
Heb 1:4 Being made so much
better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more
excellent name than they.
Heb 1:5 For unto which of the
angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten
thee? And again, I will be to him a
Father, and he shall be to me a
Son?
Heb 1:6 And again, when he
bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith,
........... And let all the angels of God
worship him.
Heb 1:7 And of the angels he
saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of
fire.
Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he
saith,
........... Thy throne, O God (Theos), is for ever and ever: a
sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Heb 1:10 And, Thou, Lord
(Kurios), in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and
the heavens are the works of thine
hands:
