Catholics: what does it mean in the Nicene Creed?

the nicene creed is not just for catholics. other denominations believe in and use it as well...

but the judging of the dead is part of what Jesus is going to do when he returns to the earth. only the body is dead, the spirit of man lives after the body dies and it is either in heaven with God or in hell after the person dies.

when Jesus sits on the white throne of judgement, hell and the grave are going to give up their dead to stand before him to be judged and every deed they have ever done and every thought they have ever though is going to be exposed and known to all mankind....and Jesus will sentence them to the lake of fire.

it is sort of like when a person has committed a crime and been found guilty, they sit in jail awaiting their sentencing trial where the judge decides what sentence they will receive for their crimes. the souls which are currently in hell are in jail awaiting the Judges final sentence for their crimes.

The Nicene Creed is a style of the quicker Apostle's creed. no longer basically like the Apostle's Creed, the Nicene Creed emphasised that everybody 3 contributors of the Trinity are of one substance. "mild from mild" is a sturdy analogy to describe how God is one yet of three persons. If I have been to take a lamp and place a chew of cardboard perpendicular to the mild source, the rays of sunshine could be chop up down the plane and it may *look* to be 2 diverse lights, even however they have the appropriate comparable source. it may be stupid to declare that one component to the chop up mild wasn't "authentic mild" at an identical time as the different became into. further, Jesus is completely God, basically because of the fact the daddy is completely God.

JUDGMENT, GENERAL - The universal judgment of the human race at the final resurrection of the dead. It is expressed in all the creeds that affirm that Christ now "sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from where He shall come to judge the living and the dead," i.e., the just and the wicked. This will be a social judgment because it will manifest to the world God's justice in condemning sinners, and his mercy in those who are saved. It will also be a total judgment by revealing not only people's moral conduct but all the accumulated blessings or injuries that resulted from each person's good or evil deeds.

Michelangelo's Fresco on the Wall of the Sistine Chapel Shows The Judgment of the Living and the Dead by the Risen Christ. This is a Topic That Has Fascinated Believers from the Beginning. The Nicene Creed Summarizes the Faith of the Church in those Few Words to Focus on Jesus' Ultimate

Role as the Standard of Judgment. Remember That God is Outside Time . What Seems to Us as Spread Out on a Human Time Line is Immediately Present to God All at the Same Time. Thus All History is Present to the Lord and Will Be Gathered Before Christ to Identify His Own. Matthew 25 Gives a Beautiful Image of This Judgment as the Separation of the Sheep from the Goats. Those Who Lived on Earth Before Christ as Well as Those Who Lived After Him Will Be Gathered from the Four Winds(Everywhere). The Previously Deceased Will Likewise Be Gathered Along With All Alive at the Time. Jesus is Lord of Both the Dead and the Living. Those Going to Hell Will Recognize the Lordship of Christ as Well as Those Going to Heaven. Those Belonging to Jesus but Not Purified of their Attachments to Sin or Whose Sin Still Had Effects on Earth Will Undergo a Purification "as by Fire" as Paul Remarks and are Released Only When They Have Paid the Last Penny(Purgatory).

All in Heaven and Earth and Under the Earth Bow the Knee Before Christ. The Lord's Criteria for Belonging to Him are Not Merely Saying "Lord, Lord" but Doing the Will of the Father and Being Sons and Daughters in Christ. Those Who Have Not Done the Will of God Have Chosen to Live Apart from Jesus and Refusing a Sharing in His Sonship Will Have Their Decision Ratified by God to Live Without God Forever. The Statement you Quoted Shows the Centrality of Christ for all of Humanity. The General Judgment is a Vindication of God's Love and Mercy and the Availability of Mercy in Christ. The Saints in Heaven, the Living on Earth and the Damned in Hell Will All Recognize the True State of Their Lives at This Moment. The Shock is Nicely Portrayed at the Bottom of the Painting by Michelangelo in the Horror of the Soul Being Carried to Hell by a Devil .

Even the Blessed Are in Awe of the Judgment Since It Is All About the Person of Jesus and How Humans Have Chosen to relate to Him.

Its in Revelation (last book in the Bible)

don't assume its only Catholics who believe the Nicene Creed. Its beleeif not denomination that counts

when Jesus comes some people will be alive and some will be dead

If we are dead we will rise

We will then all be judged

After that some will go to be with Jesus for ever and some will go to hell

Hmmm...good point, darling. I never noticed it before, but that does seem to be at odds with the belief that people are judged when they die and sent to the appropriate place - and with the pleasant belief that grandma and great-grandpa are looking down on their descendants from heaven.

Excellent point. I'm curious as to the explanation myself.

He will return (his Second Coming).

He will judge all those who are alive. He will judge all men, those from the past and present as well. This is said in relation to those who are in Purgatory. They will be released into Heaven.

However, all in Heaven and Hell will remain where they are.

It would probably be better to know what the bible (God's Word) means by this.

NWT

(Acts 10:42) Also, he ordered us to preach to the people and to give a thorough witness that this is the One decreed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.

(John 5:22) For the Father judges no one at all, but he has committed all the judging to the Son,

(Acts 17:30-31) . . .True, God has overlooked the times of such ignorance, yet now he is telling mankind that they should all everywhere repent. 31 Because he has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has furnished a guarantee to all men in that he has resurrected him from the dead.”

When Jesus returns, ALL will be judged, not just those living at the time.

It also means, spiritually, Jesus will judge both Christians and non-Christians, believers and non-believers. Pagans were referred to as dead men, in ancient times, because they did not have the life of Christ in them. Since Jesus is Life, they were called, the dead.

Colossians 2:13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins

Ephesians 2:4-5 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.

Romans 8:11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

John 5:21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it.

The Final Judgement.
