The Nicene Creed Argument That Keeps Embarrassing Protestants
Canon & Creed
apologetics
December 8, 2025
A common objection most Protestants are not ready for is that Protestant theology replaces the Nicene Marks of "one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church." Which inevitably leads to the charge that Protestants cannot honestly confess the Nicene Creed as anciently understood. In this video, I explore why this objection is misguided and misses a key component of what Protestants are claiming, resulting in this objection falling flat.
