Jul 5, 2020 at 23:29 comment added curiousdannii That phrase is one of the most disputed in the Apostle's Creed. The earlier and more authoritative Nicene Creed just says that he was buried.
Jul 5, 2020 at 22:54 comment added Ken Graham ”He descended to the dead.” To this you add: “Assuming this is not talking of an underworld of any kind i.e. "hell". But merely saying he was in the ground, where all the dead are.” In fact, it's interesting that this creed seems to support Christadelphian doctrine better than modern Christian doctrine. In fact the opposite is true The Latin choice of wording for dead is descendit ad inferos, by means simply the lower regions which implies either hell or the regions where souls dwell and not the ground (terra). Furthermore the term Catholic in the Creed simply means Universal.

Jul 5, 2020 at 22:31 comment added James McCorrie Hi Anne, Yes I can't speak on behalf of all Christadelphians... but I think the majority would agree with me on this. Also yes, I agree that we are in disagreement with almost all points with modern Christianity (varying depending on the denomination), Trinity, Heaven going, Devil, Hell, Immortal soal, possession of the Holy Spirit gifts now, women priests, Theistic Evolution, the Atonement... and probably many other things I can't think of right now. So yes, the quote is fairly accurate... but that doesn't contradict what I wrote above, as those things are not addressed in the Apostels Creed.
Jul 4, 2020 at 16:42 comment added Anne When you say "The accepted answer is wrong", you base that on saying you fully accept the creed as written. I am truly glad that you do, David. However, given the official quote I gave, which partly says, "We object to the fundamental doctrines of Christendom; the religion of the churches and chapels is a negation of Bible teaching on almost all points," are you in full agreement with your denominational leaders? Would they embrace the Apostles' Creed?
