As you read each of the following articles (and sub-articles) of faith contained in the Nicene Creed, see if you can say to yourself that you whole-heartedly believe. If so, check Yes. If you definitely do not believe or cannot accept the item, check No. If you are not sure, or think you are somewhere in between, or feel that you need explanation or instruction in this matter, check I don't know.
 
 

         If you checked No or I don't know for even one item, you should seek direction from your spiritual father. "Now, hold your horses!" you might say, "Isn't that a little extreme? What is one little item out of so many?" Well, the fact of the matter is that one's belief in any and every item impinges on one's belief in all of the others. 

          Orthodox beliefs are based both on the Holy Scriptures and on Tradition. In general, Protestants reject any beliefs based on Tradition, and , given their insistence on private interpretation, they also reject much of what Orthodoxy sees as Scripturally-based truth. Roman Catholics, who have strayed farther and farther from Orthodoxy over the last millennium, have come to  point where their theologians are just questioning the divinity of our Lord, God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
