See my previous post. The Godhead is the expression of the one essence.

It is wrong either to divide the essence or confuse the Persons.

To meld (confuse) the Father with the Son is to engage in some form of Monarchianism.

I SAW your previous post. (You and I are on the same page here. I'm wondering where Kolo is going.) But, you know, talking about the godhead and the hypostases and ousia and all like this -- sounds to me like we all need ecumenical councils to keep us straight -- like, for example, the council that said it was okay to call Mary the Theotokos.
