- I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
- And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten 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 sits at 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:
- I believe in the Holy Catholic Church: the Communion of Saints:
- The forgiveness of sins:
- The resurrection of the body:
- And the life everlasting. Amen.

I read the apostles creed
In the blog. What is it about ?
What it is about? It is the Apostle’s Creed. The title is self descriptive. So the question has no answer, but because I understood from our whats-app conversation that you were concerned with terminology, I was able to answer you there. For the sake of others who might have the same question, I will explain it again here.
A creed is a formal statement of Christian beliefs. I have posted some more creeds for your understanding. The word catholic literally means “universal.”
It originally meant the universal Church and therefore was applied to all Christians. This meaning still holds true today, and in English it can mean “including a wide variety of things; all-embracing.”
It is often confused with the denomination called The Roman Catholic Church, which erroneously takes the “all-embracing” aspect to embrace and include other religions as well, with the Pope adding Pontifex Maximus to his title.
So, while we can apply it to mean the body of Jesus Christ all over the Earth, we don’t use the term much because of its association with the Roman Catholic Church.
