Check out this awesome presentation from September 17, 2024!

Father John Paul Erickson joins Patrick for the second of a three-day series to discuss The Creed

  • (3:02) History of the Nicene Creed
  • What does “begotten” mean in the creed?

(24:24) Break 1

  • (25:53) Bob – they say it was the 2nd person of the trinity that took on humanity.  How can one person of the trinity take on a human nature without the other one at the same time?
  • Francine – Jesus is the same thing as the Father.  Take out the thing…he Is the same as the Father.  That is the entire definition.

(35:26) Break 2

  • (40:09) Regina – Explain paradox…we can’t love what we don’t know.  How can we really love God if we don’t know him fully?
  • (45:10) What is the core of the Creed?
