cr3do1

Since I haven't placed anything under the theology catagory yet, and people probably wonder what cr3do1 mean I will take this oppurtunity to tell you. At the same time, it is a mini theology lesson.

The latin word for I believe is credo. (eg Credo in unum Deum - I believe in one God). Since credo is becoming more and more a popular name to choose, and since I have had it for a number of years, I adapted it a little. While still keeping the basic make up for the word credo, I replaced the e with the 3 and put a one at the end. This expresses the Christian belief that there are 3 persons in 1 divine God, The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Thus cr3do1. It is pretty much a summary of the entire Nicene Creed.

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

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only-begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before time began.
God from God, light from light, true God from true God,
begotten, not made, one in being with the Father:
through whom all things were made.

Who for us men and for our salvation
came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit became incarnate
of the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.

Crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again with 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 and the Son,
who together with the Father and the Son
is worshipped and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one holy, catholic and apostolic Church,
I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins,
and I await the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen. - From the New Translation of the Roman Missal
