I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, con-substantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
(At the words that follow, up to and including “and became man”, all bow.)
and by the Holy Spirit, was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dea and his kingdom with have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the fogiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and life of the world to come.
Amen.
Note: Inspiration 20140607-1725pm. Here are my long-awaited comments of this “prayer”:
- The word “maker” is used here. Other passages show the word “creator”. I’m confused.
- The word “visible” means “matter” that appears in our reality/dimension/matrix. The word “invisible” means the other stuff only schizophrenics are allowed to see.
- The word “begotten” appears twice. It’s redundant.
- The word “consubstantial” is too long and too funny as part of a “prayer”.
- The word “men” means for men only and excludes women and children.
- The word “incarnate” means that the soul is resurrected. Buddhist believe in reincarnation. Thus, Catholics believe the same.
- the “Virgin Mary’ was inserted to appease advocates of “women rights”. The Feminine Nazi wouldn’t have it any other way. Plus, it doesn’t make sense to have a birth without a mother.
- “He suffered death” means that he was sedated and didn’t die. Yet, the whole Holy Bible conspiracy points out that he died. I’m confused.
- “Rose again on the third day” – On the surface, this is a symbolic representation of the Trinity. But it’s close to any other synchronous series of events.
- I don’t know what it means to include an “apostolic Church” with a “Catholic” version.
- “Resurrection of the dead” – It sounds like Catholics believe in zombies – the undead rising from the grave.
