what does the catholic church believe about this that the Orthodox Church dosent?
i'll give a quote archibald hodge
hold on
`the relation which the third person sustains to the first and second, wherein by an eternal and necessary, i.e., not voluntary, act of the Father and the Son, their whole identical divine essence, without alienation, division, or change, is communicated to the Holy Ghost`
the person talk is about the trinity
scholastic thinking has it proceeding from father and son and the eastern has it proceeding from only the father
Im so fucking lost
explain it like you would to a 50 IQ brainlet
The holy spirit derives its power independently of the other 2?
in the principle of filioque, the holy spirit eternally emanates firstly from the father
and as father of the only Son is in one single principle the procession of the spirit
so father and son emanate the spirit as one instead of two joint emanations
rejecting filioque can fall under a couple different ideas but the eastern schools hold that it emanates from the father
the latin scholastic schools hold double procession
eastern rejects it
its too fucken late at night to understand a single fucking word you just said, normally maybe, not now.
Okay, my last 4 braincells will attempt to comprehend this: The holy spirit is "powered" by the Father and Son?
the holy spirit radiates from the father and son
what is the living fuck does that mean?
"radiates" from the father and son
proceeds, radiates, emanates
basically the source of its origin
is the father and son
redundant statement
the origin is the father and son
They are all one being in the end anyways
the trinity
three persons
one godhead
Isnt it 3 in 1 tho?
Its 1 person that is 3 at the same time
no
what
it is the triune God
And God is the most superior?
think of God having one indivisible nucleus
essence
Is it 3 seperate beings united in a common will?
but
This is something i've never heard before
The triune God has an indivisbile essence but is tri-personal
