You know the ecumenical councils are the second authoritative source in Christianisty right?
And as a good orthodox, there is your ever lasting artificial obsession with "muh filioque", that never ceases to amaze me. Nobody has mentioned, it is irrelevant here, but you feel the need to mention, like your blogs have taught you, to tell us how much you haqte the filioque. You say "it is embarassing how he defends him", but you don't say how, nor seem to be able to create any argument or line of reasoning. It seems that, according to you, saying that the HS proceeds from "the Father and the Son" removes any difference between them, as if the only thing that differentiates them is the procession of the Holy Spirit.
You know that this has nothing to do with councils, little NPC?
Yes, amending the creed isn't a serious problem.
And your quotes of John are as relevant as those from protestants who say that we are justified by faith alone, quoting verses when it is said "we are justified by faith"
Ahahaha
The filioque isn't even the first addition to the creed
I don't think you understand the purpose of the creed
It is a statement of basic doctrine to combat heresies and unify
As heresies or falsehood arise, things are added, not because there was something wrong in it, but because they are a convenient reminder
Your Church promised to not remove a single word at the 7th council.
It is you who wants to remove the Filioque
No the filioque is a total heresy. Nowhere in the scriptures. Nowhere in the Early Fathers.
At the 7th ecumenical councils, the creed was achieved. Your church promised To NOT amend it.
The Filioque is added from authoritative sources
The creed is not "achieved"
Which one?
You have no idea of what the purpose of the creed is
Which authoritative source?
The final authority of the roman see
In the Early Church, where is the authoritative source?
Something coming from the Church fathers is not an authority, since there were heretical Church Fathers
In the Early church, you have either Peter or his successors as final authority
That is, those who have the final word
It seems that you think, as I have mentioned earlies
That there is some magical year from which there are no authoritative statements
Can you tell us exactly what year and why?
Is it the year 300? 400? 401?
So the filioque doesn't come from the scriptures. It doesn't come from the Fathers. So, from where?
Only the Roman Church?
What does it mean that "it comes from the Scriptures"?
are you aware of where the consideration of something as Scripture comes from?
Are you a former protestant?
Are you aware that being a Father of the Church doesn't make what you say authoritative?
So what is authoritative according to the Roman Church ?
Not the scriptures, not the Fathers
So what?
What Christ declared to be Authoritative
Not any "Bible" or "Fathers"
But the Church
