I believe it mostly.

The meeting was convened to deal with particular heresies and did not cover much of the things Rome made up before the meeting.)

(The mostly relates to this phrase, “We believe also in only One, Universal, Apostolic, and [Holy] Church;”

I don’t believe in the Roman Church, but do believe in one invisible church, comprised of every soul who has entrusted himself to Christ alone, via faith. This is in concordance with Scriptural teaching.

And by Apostolic, I believe the Apostles are the foundation of the church.

The Promulgation of canon law at Nicea I do not believe.

And it is worth noting the bishop of Rome was not recognized as a pope over Christendom.

Best.

Thank you for this response.

You’re not the first person I’ve asked about the Nicene Creed, and sometimes the responses have been so vituperative that I have to wonder whether the person has become so dominated with suspicion and malice that it has pushed out love altogether.

Your remarks are more positive and more discriminating (in the good sense) and that’s always welcome.
