It's essence

2019-01-09 14:04:06 UTC  

Read the Athanasian Creed

2019-01-09 14:06:58 UTC  

The diffrence between Orthodox and Catholics is that they make a distinction between essence and energies.

2019-01-09 14:07:01 UTC  

"The parallelism of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit is not unique to Matthew’s Gospel, but appears elsewhere in the New Testament (e.g., 2 Cor. 13:14, Heb. 9:14), as well as in the writings of the earliest Christians, who clearly understood them in the sense that we do today—that the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are three divine persons who are one divine being (God)."

2019-01-09 14:07:49 UTC  

Yes, they are one being which means they have the same essence!

2019-01-09 14:08:08 UTC  

That's that I mean

2019-01-09 14:08:37 UTC  

Ok then, thanks for specifying. We still recognize the Trinity as one in being, though.

2019-01-09 14:09:02 UTC  

Of course

2019-01-09 14:09:09 UTC  

Catholics do not use the word essence, because of how the Orthodox have perverted it.

2019-01-09 14:09:17 UTC  

Wait

2019-01-09 14:09:21 UTC  

I'm very very cknfused

2019-01-09 14:09:29 UTC  

Is it one in essence or Being??????

2019-01-09 14:10:01 UTC  

Ok one in being

2019-01-09 14:10:03 UTC  

They are one in essence

2019-01-09 14:10:06 UTC  

Meaning also in essence

2019-01-09 14:10:35 UTC  
2019-01-09 14:10:41 UTC  

Ok

2019-01-09 14:10:45 UTC  

Which means God is one devine being

2019-01-09 14:10:46 UTC  

Both in essence and in being

2019-01-09 14:11:00 UTC  

Why is there a need to split hairs?

2019-01-09 14:11:06 UTC  

And this divine essence is omnipotent, omniscience, and everything in between

2019-01-09 14:11:08 UTC  

Right?

2019-01-09 14:11:31 UTC  

Christianity is confusing

2019-01-09 14:11:45 UTC  

Either that or an Orthodox screwed up with my brain

2019-01-09 14:11:54 UTC  

@Deleted User Most theologians say essence because it's more theologically sound.

2019-01-09 14:12:04 UTC  

Probably but why the hell are you Muslim and slav

2019-01-09 14:12:12 UTC  

Bosnian?

2019-01-09 14:12:16 UTC  

Slave?

2019-01-09 14:12:25 UTC  

Am a russian

2019-01-09 14:12:29 UTC  

We shouldn't have to do this

2019-01-09 14:12:29 UTC  

The beard cuck faggots have made everything confusing

2019-01-09 14:12:38 UTC  

Beard Cuckoo?

2019-01-09 14:12:41 UTC  

Orthodox?

2019-01-09 14:12:43 UTC  

Huh?

2019-01-09 14:13:01 UTC  

I call the Orthodox beard cucks

2019-01-09 14:13:09 UTC  

Because they have a gay ass fetish for beards

2019-01-09 14:13:20 UTC  

So, The father, Son, and Holy spirt are one in being

2019-01-09 14:13:27 UTC  

Therefore one in essence
