Core Christianity.com. First up today, here's a voicemail from one of our listeners named Tom.

Why in the Apostles Creed it says the community of saints, but in the Nicene Creed it doesn't.

Why did they leave it out? Thank you very much.

Ah, that's a great question. Well, first, I think it's important to maybe talk a little bit about the creeds, those universal creeds, the Apostles' Creed in particular, and the Nicene Creed.

The Nicene Creed being confessed in both the East and the West, that is the Western Church and the Eastern Church, with a little bit of discrepancy, but by and large, the same. And these

are creeds that have been used in Christian worship for a very long time. Many people think

that they were originally used in the context of preparing people for baptism. And so as new members were joining the church in the ancient church, they would be instructed in essentially the creed in the cardinal core Christian doctrines,

the things that we love to talk about on this broadcast, core Christianity.

And those two, I mean, many churches I know that use those two in particular, the

church that I pastor every Sunday before we take the Lord's Supper as a church and as an act of

worship, we confess our faith, what the faith is in the Nicene Creed, to summarize there.

Now, your question specifically is how come in the Apostles' Creed it talks about the communion

of the Saints and in the Nicene Creed it doesn't.

Well, the Nicene Creed does talk about, you know, one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
