The Creed didn’t come about until way more than 200 years of fistfights. Tell me, how do you think non-Christians read this, the CENTRAL mystery of our Christian faith:

Contemporary Catholic: “I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son ...”

Latin (ca. A.D. 700): “Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem; Creatorem coeli et terrae. Et in Jesum Christum, Filium ejus unicum ...”

Anglican: “I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth: And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord ...”

The Trinity is not casually called the “central mystery of our faith” lightly. Oh, yeah, and our (small-”c”) christian friends, the Mormons, come right out and say there are three, not one.

“Contemporary Catholic: “I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son ...”

It’s pretty clear since Jesus Christ was a man who actually lived, whom God sent to live. It falls under Creation.
