The typical member of the churches of Christ don’t know about these creeds and those who do could not care less about them. They don’t place any importance on the creeds of men. They accept the responsibility of discerning what the Bible teaches themselves instead of relying on some man or group of men to figure it out for them.

That's not really relevant to my question. I phrased my question the way I did knowing that those creeds would have no official force.

Is anything asserted by the Apostles', Nicene and Athanasian creeds, denied by CoC teaching?

To answer your question, when I read the Nicene Creed a few minutes ago from post #113, that was the first time I had read any of the creeds for many, many years. Although its wording was different than what I would have chosen, I find no disagreement with it.

The typical member of the churches of Christ would be more conversant with the United Federation of Planet’s “Prime Directive” than he would be with the Nicene, or other historic creeds.
