Nicene-Constantinopolitan symbol

Russian image of the First Council of Nicaea (325). However, the text of the niceno-constantinopolitan creed of the First Council of Constantinople (381) is shown with the initial πιστεπομεν (believe) replaced by πιστες (belief), as in the liturgy

The Nicene-Constantinopolitan symbol is a symbol of faith, a dogmatic declaration of the contents of the Christian faith, promulgated at the Council of Nicea I (325) and expanded at the Council of Constantinople (381). The object of the Nicene creed was to agree on a definition of the dogmas of the Christian faith, prevented until then by the scarce institutionalization and the strong regional variants. The main adversary of the Nicene doctrine was Arianism, a theological current led by the North African priest Arrio, who did not want to accept that Jesus Christ was God himself (concept of Trinity) as proposed to be interpreted by the theologian Athanasius at the Council of Nicea I; other theological problems, especially trinitarian ones, would not be resolved until the First Council of Constantinople, when the divine character of the Holy Spirit was definitively affirmed.

The Creed

The creed summarizes the basic tenets of the Christian faith in a relatively simple manner, intended to provide a resource for memorizing and proclaiming them to the faithful. It implicitly condemns the most widespread errors, as a means to identify possible dissidences; later modifications of the creed would seek to give greater precision to the definition of contemporary heresies.

The expanded version of the Nicene symbol issued at the Council of Constantinople I (381), which is called the Nicene-Constantinopolitan symbol, arose from the Church's need to clearly establish what any person should believe. baptized on the Holy Spirit, and against the heretical ideas of that time.

The Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, a symbol of faith, is accepted by the Catholic Church, the Byzantine Orthodox Churches, the Oriental Orthodox Churches, the Church of the East (currently divided into the Assyrian Church of the East and the Ancient Church of the East), the Anglican, and most of the Protestant Churches.

There is disagreement about one of the additions in the Latin version: Filioque. No problem about the other one: Deum de Deo.

For the vast majority of Christian denominations, the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed constitutes a central and incontrovertible basis of faith. Its profession is part of the Catholic and Orthodox celebration of the mass, and is part of the preaching of most Protestant churches; the Lausanne Agreement of 1974 included it as the basis of evangelical practice.

Denominations that reject the creed in whole or in part—among them Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Arians, and Unitarians—are frequently labeled non-Christian by others, which has led to bitter disputes and even legal action in the United States. Joined.

Text of the Nicaea creed (year 325)

We believe in one God, Almighty Father, creator of all things visible and invisible; and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God; only begotten born of the Father, that is, of the substance of the Father; God of God, light of light, true God of true God; begotten, uncreated; of the same nature as the Father; by whom all was done: both that is in heaven and on earth; And to those who say: there was a time when it did not exist and: before being begotten it did not exist and: it was made of nothing or other hypostasis or nature, pretending that the Son of God is created and subject of change and alteration, to these they anatematize the Catholic Church.

Text of the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed (year 381) in Spanish

We believe in one God,

Almighty Father,

Creator of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible;

and in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only begotten of God,

born of the Father before all ages,

light,

True God of true God;

begotten, uncreated, consubstantial with the Father,

by whom all was done;

for us men and for our salvation

He came down from heaven

and was entrusted by the Holy Spirit

and of Mary the Virgin

and became a man;

for our cause was crucified

in time of Pontius Pilate

and suffered and was buried,

and rose on the third day

according to the Scriptures

and went up to heaven;

and sits on the right of the Father;

and again he will come with glory, to judge alive and dead,

and his kingdom will have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, Lord and giver of life,

from the Father;

with the Father and the Son receives the same

worship and glory,

who spoke for the prophets.

We believe in the Church one, holy, Catholic and apostolic.

We confess one baptism for the remission of sins.

We look forward to the resurrection of the dead

and the life of the future world. Amen.

Latin liturgical text

Symbolum Nicaenum Constantinopolitanum:

Credo in unum Deum,

Patrem omnipotentm,

Factorem caeli et terrae,

visibilium omnium et invisibilium.

Et in unum Dominum Iesum

Christum,

Filium Dei unigenitum

et ex Patre natum

before omnia saecula,

Deum de Deo,

Lumen de Lumine,

Deum verum de Deo vero,

genitum, non factum,

consubstantialem Patri:

per quem omnia facta sunt:

qui propter nos homines

et propter nostram salutem,

descendit de caelis,

et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto

ex Maria Virgine

et homo factus est,

crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontius Pilate

passus et sepultus est,

et resurrexit tertia die secundum Scripturas,

et ascendit in caelum,

headquarters ad dexteram Patris,

et iterum venturus est cum Gloria,

iudicare viva et mortuos,

cuius regni non erit finis.

Et in Spiritum Sanctum,

Dominum et vivificantem,

qui ex Patre Filioque procedit,

qui cum Patre et Filio

simul adortur et conglorificatur,

qui locutus est per Prophetas.

Et unam sanctam catholicam

et apostolicam Ecclesiam.

Confiteor unum Baptisma

in remissionem peccatorum.

Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum,

et vitam venturi saeculi.

Amen.
