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.
Catholic AnswerWe don't know when the Apostles Creed was written. Ancient legends assign it to the twelve apostles on Pentecost composing it, supposedly, each apostle contributing one of the items. The earliest history that we have for certain is that it was probably a baptismal symbol used for those being baptized in the first couple centuries in Rome.

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.
It is traditionally ascribed to the Twelve Apostles, who wrote it to refute Gnosticism. It was origianlly called the Symbol of the Apostles. Some historians think it was written later, possibly devloping it from the Old Roman Symbol, which was somewhat shorter.
Yes. As a christian denomination, they adhere to the same creeds as the rest of the Christian Church. These include the Nicene Creed, the Apostles' Creed and the Athanasian Creed that focusses on the belief in a Trinitarian God.
They are very similar. In fact, the Nicene creed is essentially a lengthened version of the Apostles' creed containing everything that the Apostles' creed has in it. There is only one exception where the Apostles' creed has new information: the Apostles' creed states that Jesus descended into the dead before rising in three days whereas the Nicene creed does not mention the descending of Jesus into the dead. Both creeds are used in Masses said around the world as an acceptable prayer that occurs after the Homily at the start of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. It is up to the local Bishop's preference. In the United States, the Nicene creed is used most typically. The Apostles' creed is typically used when saying a Rosary.
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.
Yes, the Catholic Church was created by Jesus and the twelve apostles were his first followers. St. Peter the apostle is called the first Pope of what became known as the Catholic Church. Jesus told Peter that he would be the head of his church..Catholic AnswerThe Apostles Creed is a brief statement of fundamental Christian beliefs formerly attributed to the Apostles, without doubt expressive of Apostolic teaching. It is a formulation of the early Church as a baptismal symbol or rule of faith used by people receiving Baptism since the earliest times. The present form dates to 700. As to "why?", well, there was no other "Christian" Church until Martin Luther formed his own in the sixteenth century.
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.
