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

speak in 1st grade terms pebble

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

All i've heard is God is 3 in one. The 3 beings, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit are no seperate conscious entities, they are 1 person in 3.

each are divine but are capable of self-consciousness

Wouldn't that make it a polytheism

no

the essence is not divisible
