John 1:1-5

[Salvation]

John 1
1	In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2	He was in the beginning with God;
3	all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.
4	In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5	The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

re: "In recent years the issue has become more historical than doctrinal, since those who believe in Christ's divinity, whether Eastern or Western Christians, all accept the fact that the Third Person proceeds from the Second as well as the First Person of the Trinity. Given this common faith, the verbal expression has become secondary.

I never uderstood why the Eastern Orthodox laity made such a big deal about the Filioque clause. NOW, in my current experience with Orthodox on FR, they continue to make a big deal out of it, so, I have to disagree with Fr. Harden.

Is it just me?
