Explain the foundations of the orthodox Christian faith as established by Constantine’s council at Nicea
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1. The Nicene Creed unified the Church behind a prescribed doctrine, creating an orthodox faith. It proclaims belief in one God, maker of heaven and earth, and in the holy Trinity, comprising God the Father, Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. It asserts the virgin birth of Jesus, his suffering, death, and resurrection. It promises life after death and salvation through the sacrament of baptism. It establishes “the one holy catholic and apostolic Church,” a united church that is universal (“catholic”) and based on the teachings of the apostles (“apostolic”).
2. The Nicene council established the Church’s liturgy, the rites prescribed for public worship, and sponsored Saint Jerome’s translation of the Hebrew Bible and the Greek books of the New Testament into Latin, producing a Vulgate (“common” or “popular”) official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church, the version known by the faithful for more than 1,000 years.
