`It's only misinterpreted by a purposefully hostile schismatic group
`well that's a take never heard before from a catholic

2020-02-10 20:34:24 UTC  

Well a major point of the schism has just been clarified in the favor of the Catholic position it appears

2020-02-10 20:34:54 UTC  

`The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father as principle, and, through the latter’s timeless gift to the Son, from the Father and the Son in communion (St. Augustine, De Trinitate, XV, 25, 47).
`that's simply an inaccurate translation 🤷

2020-02-10 20:35:17 UTC  

Why don't you translate it differently then

2020-02-10 20:35:23 UTC  

Enlighten us

2020-02-10 20:36:20 UTC  

iirc it uses latin concept that is different from "proceeds"

2020-02-10 20:36:34 UTC  

but also I am not a theologian

<:wtf:591182282648190986>

2020-02-10 20:36:59 UTC  

Sure, that part isn't what I was referring to, I actually gave a clarification on the language earlier if you scroll up

2020-02-10 20:37:48 UTC  

But I can quote Didymus, and St Cyril directly says and son

2020-02-10 20:38:02 UTC  

good on you

2020-02-10 20:38:14 UTC  

There are tons of eastern fathers using the filioque

2020-02-10 20:38:42 UTC  

so is it *and* the son or not <:wtf:591182282648190986>

2020-02-10 20:38:55 UTC  

```Since the Holy Spirit when He is in us effects our being conformed to God, and He actually proceeds from Father and Son, it is abundantly clear that he is of the divine essence, in it of essence and proceeding from it.```

2020-02-10 20:38:57 UTC  

Yes

2020-02-10 20:39:04 UTC  

I've been saying and son

2020-02-10 20:39:29 UTC  

one minute you're saying it's from the Father primarly, other minute you're saying it's from the Son

2020-02-10 20:39:38 UTC  

<:wtf:591182282648190986>

2020-02-10 20:41:42 UTC  

You misunderstand

2020-02-10 20:41:56 UTC  

I'm saying the Father is the source of everything

2020-02-10 20:42:08 UTC  

That's never denied

2020-02-10 20:42:21 UTC  

you want to use the same terms in one language to describe two concepts

2020-02-10 20:42:43 UTC  

while quoting inaccurate translations

2020-02-10 20:42:47 UTC  

<:wtf:591182282648190986>

2020-02-10 20:43:22 UTC  

"And son" is innacurate?

2020-02-10 20:43:35 UTC  

And I specifically clarified earlier that they aren't the same terms

2020-02-10 20:43:39 UTC  

That doesn't help you

2020-02-10 20:44:09 UTC  

yes?

2020-02-10 20:44:21 UTC  

depends on the context, of course, but yeah, generally it is

2020-02-10 20:44:36 UTC  

accurate terms can be used to describe it using the "and the son" construction

2020-02-10 20:44:45 UTC  

they are not though

2020-02-10 20:45:41 UTC  

```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

2020-02-10 20:45:56 UTC  

They are all clear on it

2020-02-10 20:46:32 UTC  

yes this is accurate

2020-02-10 20:46:33 UTC  

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.

2020-02-10 20:46:56 UTC  

```"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."```

2020-02-10 20:47:31 UTC  

I am not telling you you're wrong, I did that some time ago, I am addressing your argument or whatever this is

2020-02-10 20:48:08 UTC  

You have not once even brought up a different translation, you just admitted you weren't a theologian so you couldn't.

2020-02-10 20:48:14 UTC  

also iirc catholic position at the times of schism was much more strict

2020-02-10 20:48:33 UTC  

didn't they say that greeks are heretics from denying "and the son"

2020-02-10 20:48:43 UTC  

correct, so?
