Nicene Creed Part 1

The first part of the Nicene Creed deals with God the Father, and can be thought of dealing with Theology properly (Theos - God / ology - the study of). I have broken down the Creed line by line, and placed next to it a summary of what point of doctrine that line succintly summarizes.

THE NICENE CREED - Part 1 - Theology

WE BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, - Monotheism

THE FATHER, THE ALMIGHTY - Trinity - Father - Omnipotent

MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH - Creation/Creator

OF ALL THAT IS, SEEN AND UNSEEN - Unified Creation

In a few short statements, the Nicene Creed proclaims the One God created everything, whether seen or unsee, declares him to be omnipotent, and introduces the Trinity by focusing initally on the Father.
