one minute you're saying it's from the Father primarly, other minute you're saying it's from the Son
<:wtf:591182282648190986>
You misunderstand
I'm saying the Father is the source of everything
That's never denied
you want to use the same terms in one language to describe two concepts
while quoting inaccurate translations
<:wtf:591182282648190986>
"And son" is innacurate?
And I specifically clarified earlier that they aren't the same terms
That doesn't help you
yes?
depends on the context, of course, but yeah, generally it is
accurate terms can be used to describe it using the "and the son" construction
they are not though
```For the Only-begotten Himself calls [the Holy Spirit] “the Spirit of the Father,” and says of Him that “He proceeds from the Father,” and “will receive of mine,” so that He is reckoned as not being foreign to the Father nor to the Son, but is of their same substance, of the same Godhead; He is Spirit divine . . . of God, and He is God. For He is Spirit of God, Spirit of the Father, and Spirit of the Son, not by some kind of synthesis, like soul and body in us, but in the midst of Father and Son, of the Father and of the Son, a third by appellation.```
Here is Didymus on it
They are all clear on it
yes this is accurate
You have made zero criticism that I can take, you are just telling me I might be wrong, when earlier I told you the translation differences.
```"When the Greeks spoke of the “procession” of the Holy Spirit, they had in mind the Greek word ekporeusis, the term, in fact, used in John 15:26 cited above, when Jesus said the Holy Spirit “proceeds from the Father.” This term refers to the essential and “first” origin of the Holy Spirit, which, the Greeks had right, is from the Father alone. It is the teaching of all Christians, East and West, that the Father is the soul monarch, or source (arche) of the entire Godhead."```
I am not telling you you're wrong, I did that some time ago, I am addressing your argument or whatever this is
You have not once even brought up a different translation, you just admitted you weren't a theologian so you couldn't.
also iirc catholic position at the times of schism was much more strict
didn't they say that greeks are heretics from denying "and the son"
correct, so?
I believe yes, because that is heresy
You can not say it and not be a heretic, but denying it is
Every father I quoted is as strict as the Catholic position, do you think the filioque came from nowhere?
even better
Obviously you did, you called it unwarranted lol
It's like calling the entire section the filioque comes from unwarranted because it was added
no, it did not came from nowhere, it came from wrong interpretations, lol
Tell me how it's wrong?
it is unwarranted because it was added
So the whole creed is unwarranted?
You've only called the word "proceeds" wrong, which doesn't effect the "and son", nor do we deny the primacy of the father
yet you do.
Not at all
We go with the fathers on this
The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. And the Son is generated from the Father
As each father said.
