The Apostles’ Creed

Just like we talked about in lecture, what you believe about God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) impacts how we live and how we treat ourselves, others, and all of creation.


Discuss: What do you think is most important for us to believe about Jesus and why is it important? (You can include multiple things.)

 

The Third Article about the Holy Spirit seems more like a bunch of add-ons than a description.

Discuss: After watching the video, what do you think makes the third article of the creed different than the first two articles about the Father and the Son? Why do you think it’s different? (consider…the Holy Spirit isn’t easy to describe, but you can talk about what the Spirit DOES.)

As we discussed in lecture (at the very end), the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all God, but they are separate from each other. It’s a complex and difficult mystery to wrap our heads around. The following chart helps us understand.
