[freezerman2000]

I remember this version as a child..I still have my BCP that it came out of..I miss the wording of that book..I wish it could be used sometimes.

IBELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary: Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell; The third day he rose again from the dead: He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty: From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost: The holy Catholic Church; The Communion of Saints: The Forgiveness of sins: The Resurrection of the body: And the Life everlasting. Amen.

¶ Or the Creed commonly called the Nicene.

IBELIEVE in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And of all things visible and invisible:
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God; Begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of very God; Begotten, not made; Being of one substance with the Father; By whom all things were made: Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, And was made man: And was .crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried: And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures: And ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of the Father: And he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; Whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, The Lord, and Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; Who spake by the Prophets: And I believe one Catholic and Apostolic Church: I acknOwledge one Baptism for the remission of sins: And I look for the Resurrection of the dead: And theLife of the world to come. Amen.

 

[Taom Ben Robert]

I believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.
I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father.
Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit He was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered, and was buried.
On the third day He rose again in fulfilment of the Scriptures;
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, Who proceeds from the Father. With the Father and the Son He is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered, and was buried. And He rose on the third day, according to the Scriptures, and ascended into Heaven. He is seated at the right hand of the Father, and He will come again in glory, to judge the living and the dead. His Kingdom shall have no end.

[Constantine_Orthodox]

The original one.

Πιστεύω εἰς ἕναν θεόν, πατέρα παντοκράτορα, ποιητὴν οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς, ὁρατῶν τε πάντων καὶ ἀοράτων.

Καὶ εἰς ἕνα κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ θεοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ, τὸν ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς γεννηθέντα πρὸ πάντων τῶν αἰώνων φῶς ἐκ φωτός, θεὸν ἀληθινὸν ἐκ θεοῦ ἀληθινοῦ, γεννηθέντα, οὐ ποιηθέντα, ὁμοούσιον τῷ πατρί, δι' οὗ τὰ πάντα ἐγένετο·

τὸν δι' ἡμᾶς τοὺς ἀνθρώπους καὶ διὰ τὴν ἡμετέραν σωτηρίαν κατελθόντα ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν καὶ σαρκωθέντα ἐκ πνεύματος ἁγίου καὶ Μαρίας τῆς παρθένου καὶ ἐνανθρωπήσαντα·

σταυρωθέντα τε ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἐπὶ Ποντίου Πιλάτου καὶ παθόντα καὶ ταφέντα·

καὶ ἀναστάντα τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ κατὰ τὰς γραφάς·

καὶ ἀνελθόντα εἰς τοὺς οὐρανοὺς καὶ καθεζόμενον ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ πατρός·

καὶ πάλιν ἐρχόμενον μετὰ δόξης κρῖναι ζώντας καὶ νεκρούς, οὗ τῆς βασιλείας οὐκ ἔσται τέλος.

Καὶ εἰς τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον, τὸ κύριον καὶ ζωοποιόν, τὸ ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς ἐκπορευόμενον, τὸ σὺν πατρὶ καὶ υἱῷ συμπροσκυνούμενον καὶ συνδοξαζόμενον, τὸ λαλῆσαν διὰ τῶν προφητῶν.

Εἰς μίαν, ἁγίαν, καθολικὴν καὶ ἀποστολικὴν ἐκκλησίαν.

Ὁμολογῶ ἕν βάπτισμα εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν·

προσδοκῶ ἀνάστασιν νεκρῶν

καὶ ζωὴν τοῦ μέλλοντος αἰῶνος.

Ἀμήν.

I believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages. Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten not created, of one essence with the Father through whom all things were made.

He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and he suffered and was buried. On the third day he rose according to the Scriptures.

Amen!

 

[charsan]

Too often, we see folks in certain areas post theology that is absolutely contrary to the statement of all Christian orthodoxy, the Nicene Creed.

A long time ago, when things were really bad, I did something I usually don't do: I started a thread. That thread was to be an opportunity for people to show visible support of that inspired Creed that unites all Christians...

ALL CHRISTIANS

In honor of this new forum, and in the spirit of its purposes, I'm going to repeat that thread. Please join me in saying the Great Symbol of the Christian faith; only repeat it, mean it, and boldly proclaim it in living faith, by word, thought, and deed; in things done and not done; by belief and by work:


I believe in one God,
the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only-begotten Son of God,
begotten of the Father before all worlds;
God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God;
begotten, not made, being of one Substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.
Who, for us humans for our salvation, He came down from heaven,
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary,
and was made man.
He was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate,
He suffered and was buried.
On the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father,
and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the living and the dead,
and whose kingdom shall have no end

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life;
who proceeds from the Father [and the Son];
who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken by the prophets.
And I believe One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church,
I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins,
and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen!

Amen!

Amen

 

[The Liturgist]

For flavor, auf Deutsch:

Wir glauben an den einen Gott,
den Vater, den Allmächtigen,
der alles geschaffen hat,
Himmel und Erde,
die sichtbare und die unsichtbare Welt.

Und an den einen Herrn Jesus Christus,
Gottes eingeborenen Sohn,
aus dem Vater geboren vor aller Zeit:
Gott von Gott,
Licht vom Licht,
wahrer Gott vom wahren Gott,
gezeugt, nicht geschaffen,
eines Wesens mit dem Vater;
durch ihn ist alles geschaffen.
Für uns Menschen und zu unserm Heil ist er vom Himmel gekommen,
hat Fleisch angenommen durch den Heiligen Geist
von der Jungfrau Maria und ist Mensch geworden.
Er wurde für uns gekreuzigt unter Pontius Pilatus,
hat gelitten und ist begraben worden,
ist am dritten Tage auferstanden nach der Schrift
und aufgefahren in den Himmel.
Er sitzt zur Rechten des Vaters
und wird wiederkommen in Herrlichkeit,
zu richten die Lebenden und die Toten;
seiner Herrschaft wird kein Ende sein.

Wir glauben an den Heiligen Geist,
der Herr ist und lebendig macht,
der aus dem Vater (und dem Sohn) hervorgeht,
der mit dem Vater und dem Sohn angebetet und verherrlicht wird,
der gesprochen hat durch die Propheten,
und die eine, heilige, christliche und apostolische Kirche.
Wir bekennen die eine Taufe zur Vergebung der Sünden.
Wir erwarten die Auferstehung der Toten
und das Leben der kommenden Welt.

Amen.

I was raised in areas where there were still a few scattered churches that celebrated the German liturgy. There is an old cassette tape of my great-grandfather, Emil, saying the Unser Vater and the Creed auf Deutsch. I like to occasionally visit the German liturgical texts, and I know enough to follow much of it.

Do any of those churches survive?

 

[Shane R]

There are a couple of parishes still having a German service. I don't know of any where it's the primary service. I think it's been relegated to being an alternative at the least popular time slot or something that occasionally happens at funerals.
