Do you pray the Apostles' Creed in the Rosary?
The Apostles' Creed is prayed in the Rosary. It is the first prayer in the Rosary.
Which came first the Apostles Creed or the Nicene Creed?
Some attribute the Apostles Creed to the twelve apostles themselves, although scholars for the most part believe it was constituted in either the latter first or second century. In any account, it is older than the Nicene Creed.
Explain the article 1 of the Apostles Creed?
The first article of the Apostles' Creed is this:"I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth."It would require much more than this space provides to adequately explain every aspect of this article. However, in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, nos. 199-421, the first article of the Creed is exhaustively treated. It should be more than sufficient to answer this question.For nos. 199-421 of the Catechism, start here:http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p1s2c1p1.htmClick "Next" at the bottom of the page to continue to the remaining paragraphs.
Who from the Apostles created the first article of the Apostles Creed?
The LegendLegend states that the creed took shape at the dictation of the Twelve Apostles, each of whom contributed a special article. Thus, Peter, it was alleged, under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, commenced, "I believe in God the Father Almighty"; Andrew (or according to others, John) continued, "And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord"; James the elder went on, "Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost," etc. This legend is not older than the 5th or 6th centuries, and is absurd on the face of it. (citation - below) Present Day AnswerThe Apostles Creed was composed much later than the time of the Apostles, it is called that because it is based on their teaching, not because they composed it.

When was the apostle creed made?
The first mention of the title of the Apostles' Creed appeared in a letter written around 390 CE, but the Creed itself may date back to the late second century. Some believe that the Apostles's Creed was inspired by parts of the New Testament, including Ephesians 4:9, which would certainly rule out any involvement by the apostles (including Paul) in writing it.

Why was the Apostles' Creed changed?
The Church didn't change the Apostle's Creed to the Nicene Creed, they are separate Creeds. They are used in different manners.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Apostles Creed is from the very early Church, the substance of the creed is formulated by the apostles, although they probably are not the authors. Originally it was used as an instruction to be memorized by the catechumens before baptism. The Nicene-Constantinople Creed was first formulated at the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325, then later added to by the Council of Constantinople in 381. It is the creed that has been prescribed for the liturgy for centuries.The Apostles Creed was formerly recited at Prime each day, is used in the Rosary, and other devotions.
When was the masonic creed adopted by the masons?
A creed is a statement of faith or beliefs, coming from the Latin word "credo" meaning "I believe" which is the first word in the Latin version of the Apostles' Creed. There is no "masonic creed" because masons do not have a set of beliefs which are common to all of them. (Every Mason has his own set of beliefs of course) The Masonic Order does have principles on which it is founded as all organizations do, but these are not beliefs.
Why was the apostles creed made?
The Apostles' Creed is so called because it is rightly considered to be a faithful summary of the apostles' faith. It is the ancient baptismal symbol [creed to be recited before baptism] of the Church of Rome. It's great authority arises from this fact: it is "the Creed of the Roman Church, the See of Peter, the first of the apostles, to whom he brought the common faith." (St. Ambrose, Expl. symb.J.P. Migne, ed., Patrologia Latina {Paris: 1841-1855} 17, 1196 ) Catechism of the Catholic Church # 194The word "creed" comes from the Latin word credo,meaning "I believe." It was called "Apostles" not because the apostles themselves wrote it (although some people may have thought this), but because the Creed was believed to be an accurate summary of what the apostles taught.The Creed was useful in several ways:The Creed was a public statement of faith, a standardized way in which new people could confess their faith in Jesus Christ.The Creed anchored Christian faith to a tradition, to make it difficult for people or churches to be led astray by strange doctrines.The Creed was a preaching and teaching tool, giving an outline for further discipleship.The Creed was memorized through frequent repetition, which helped the many believers who could not read.The Creed provided a doctrinal basis for different churches to accept one another, and to reject those who did not accept the basic truths.The Bible itself contains brief creed-like statements (1 Cor. 8:6; 15:3-4; 1 Tim. 3:16).
