Roman Catholic and Protestant understanding of the Holy Spirit: THE SAME.

[Scotth1960]

Friend, you aren't making sense. First, your statement contradicts itself. Secondly, you show a remarkable misunderstanding of Catholic teaching, since it is not Sabellianism. We hold to the unity of God as a fundamental teaching. Maybe you could stop throwing the fancy word around and become more specific, so I could show the readers how you are clueless on Catholic teaching. Or in the process of explaining how you think we are Sabellians (an Eastern orginated heresy), I can point out your error in understanding our view.

There is plenty of Scripture evidence for the idea:

John 14:16; 15:26; 16:7,13-15; Rom 8:9; Gal 4:6; and Phil 1:19.



:p Exaggeration... Purgatory, Immaculate Conception, Assumption of Mary, the role and the infallibility of the Pope...

The separation between East and West was the result of political and cultural issues. Theological disagreements were the East's cover for removing themselves from the Catholic Church.

Dear francisdesales, You show by this post that you may not have read Saint Photios, The Mystagogy of the Holy Spirit. Sabellianism is really semi-Sabellianism, and the FILIOQUE is indeed SEMI-SABELLIANISM, as ST. PHOTIOS SHOWS in HIS GERMINAL WORK. SEMI-SABELLIANISM MOVES TOWARD SABELLIANISM. No, FILIOQUISM IS NOT THE SAME THING AS SABELLIANISM. But IT IS SEMI-SABELLIANISM.
If you read and prayed about this work of Saint Photios, you would ask God whether those things he says are SO, ACCORDING TO JOHN 15:26? Can you explain where Saint Photios anywhere misreads John 15:26? Where does Jesus Christ say, "from me", or "who proceeds from the Son"?

Saint Photios and the Orthodox Church do NOT say that the popes of Rome are teaching SABELLIANISM. And neither did I say that. But the FILIOQUE IS SEMI-SABELLIANISM. IN ERIE Scott R> Harrington

Dear Francisdesales, To answer your questions regarding the Scriptures you cite. None of them says anything about "proceeding from" or "the Spirit" proceeding "from the Son". Scott Harrington Erie PA
The only Scripture that says proceeds from is John 15:26, and it says (CHRIST SAYS) "which proceedeth from the Father" (KJV).
