What is a creed?!


Question: quite simply, it is a belief.

creed is a statement or confession of belief — usually religious belief — or faith. The word derives from the Latin: credo for I believe and credimus for we believe. It is sometimes called symbol (Greek: σ?μβολο[ν]), signifying a "token" by which persons of like beliefs might recognize each other.

The most definitive creed in Christianity is the Nicene Creed, formulated in AD 325 at the first of the Seven Ecumenical Councils. Affirmation of this creed, which describes the Trinity, is generally taken as a fundamental test of orthodoxy. The Apostle's Creed is also broadly accepted.

Yet many Christians, including Unitarians, Quakers, Baptists, and Restorationists, have rejected the authority of creeds.

Whether Judaism is creedal has been a point of some controversy. Though some Judaism is noncreedal in nature, others say it recognizes a single creed, the Shmah. "Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One."

Muslims declare the shahada, "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His prophet." Sunnis name six articles of belief: belief in God, the Prophets and Messengers, the Books, the Angels, The Day of Judgment and the Resurrection, and Predestination.

The terms "creed" and "faith" are sometimes used to mean religion.
