As a statement of faith, GodExamined.com affirms and holds to the historic confession of the Christian Church — The Apostles’ Creed:
We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come again to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy universal Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
“The holy universal Church” renders the creed’s original word catholic (Greek katholikos, “universal”) — the whole body of Christ across every age and place, not any single denomination.
Everything on this site is offered as evidence — historical, scientific, mathematical, and logical — and evidence is meant to lead somewhere. This creed is where it leads. It is the oldest and most widely shared summary of the Christian faith, confessed by believers across nearly two thousand years and every branch of the Church. We stand within that same confession.
