Theocuts Episode 1 - Creeds for Faithful Manly Men - What is Christianity?

"Jesus replied: “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." - Matthew 22:37
Many Christians, or those who call themselves Christians, and those who question or believe differently than Christians, often struggle to answer basic questions about this faith.  So we're starting with the basics.  What is Christianity?  What do Christians believe?  And nowhere is what the bible says about these questions better summarized than the ancient creeds of the church such as the the Apostle's Creed, the Athanasian Creed, and ultimately, the Nicene Creed which is still recited by millions of Christians around the world every week.  This creed will guide our discussion and our prayer is that it will bring us, and all of you, deeper into a love for God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and what He has accomplished to offer salvation and a full, better, more joy and hope-filled life to those who believe!
