Haha yeah heaven forbid we condense our (Biblical) faith into a single Creed! How horrible!

Sure the exact words of the Nicene (or any Creed for that matter) are not in Scripture (like the Our Father or Lord’s Prayer is). But does that matter? I don’t see how it does or else we could never say “Jesus is my personal Lord and Savior”, because that exact phrase is no where in Scripture. (But its sentiment certainly is!).

Same with the Nicene. Every concept in it is in Scripture. Not word for word but the concepts surely are.

The last word is yours though; I’m out. (Don’t need 30 rounds of “my Bible ideas are right” today, really, not any day).

.
The faith of Yehova cannot be condensed.

It takes a book of 1000 pages to describe it.
