Is the Nicene creed the word of God, like the books of the New Testament?

If so, why isn’t it included along side those in the Bible?

If not, why is someone required to believe it to be considered a Christian?

[ejonesie22]

The Creed is a compilation of beliefs supported by the Holy Bible. It was created by men brought together by the will of God in order to combat the heretics of the day, and is still useful to point out the heretics of our day such as the Polytheistic LDS.

“Is the Nicene creed the word of God,”

Yes, it is the word of God in the sense that it is the proper interpretation of the word of God.

Everything in it is backed up with scripture.

It resolves the dual nature of Christ.
