The Filioque Dilemma: Why I Believe It, But Wish It Wasn’t in the Nicene Creed

58 views,

The word "Filioque" may seem small 🤏, but its impact has been immense.

This single Latin word divided the church ⛪ for over a millennium. Today, many Christians are unaware of the ripple effects it still causes.

In this video, I dive into the history behind the addition of Filioque, explore its theological implications, and share why I personally affirm it—yet, wish it wasn’t in the Nicene Creed.
