"THE SECOND ARTICLE OF THE CREED 24 Q What is the second article of the Creed? A "And in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only-begotten, Begotten of the Father before all worlds (ages), Light of Light, Very God of Very God, Begotten, not made; of one essence with the Father, by whom all things
were made". 25 A What are we taught by the second article of the Creed? A We are taught that Jesus Christ is truly God. Jesus means Savior, because as God He came into the world to save men; Christ means anointed, because to His manhood were imparted beyond measure all the gifts of the Holy Spirit. 26 Q Why is Jesus Christ called Lord? A Because He is true God, and God is the Lord and ruler of all. 27 Q Why is Jesus Christ called "the Son of God, the Only-begotten, Begotten of the Father before all worlds?" A Because He only is the Son of God from all eternity, just as God the Father is from all eternity. 28 Q What is meant by the words, "Light of Light?" A God the Father is the everlasting Light: of His is begotten the Son of God, Who is also the everlasting Light; God the Father and God the Son are one and the same everlasting Light, indivisible and of one Divine nature. 29 Q What is meant by the words, "Very God of Very God?" A The Son of God is called God in the same proper sense as God the Father is called God. 30 Q Why does the Creed say that Jesus Christ is "Begotten, not made?" A Because He is the true Son of God, and not a creature of God. 31 Q What is the meaning of the phrase, "of one essence with the Father?" A It means that the Son of God is of one and the same Divine essence with God the Father."

Syrian Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of New York and All North America, 1960; 1998, Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, Metropolitan PHILIP Saliba, Primate.].


And according to the Eighth Article of the Creed, The Holy Spirit also is God, "the Lord and Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father, Who together with the Father and with the Son is worshiped and glorified, and Who spoke (long ago) by the Prophets". Scott Harrington Erie PA
