Caww asked me not to ping him/her. You should have the consideration not to include Caww in your posts to me.

Note especially St. Augustine and Theophilactus who makes the distinction clear: "Wherefore He has given all things into His hand; so that, as great as the Father is, so great is the Son", and "The Father then has given all things to the Son in respect of His divinity; of right, not of grace". No different than when a royal heir is born, he has the royal quality already, at birth (I am speaking of a human king and prince), not at the death of the living monarch, and so Christ had the operation of the Spirit eternally, not from a certain point onward.

I thought Catholics believed that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were coeternal and equal.

Coeternal, yes. However the Father begets the Son and through Him he spirates the Holy Spirit, so there are still relations between the Persons of the Holy Trinity that distinguish them. Are you familiar with the Nicene Creed in any form?

I would advise you and any Protestant not to get too deep into the mystical aspect of the Holy Trinity. You religion is based on crudity of thought. Do not go there before you become Catholic and gain the indwelling of the Holy Ghost yourself.

What????

She doesn't want YOU pinging her so WE need to stop including her in our pings?????

Grow up. Quit your blame-shifting.

Man up and remove her name from your ping list. If you can copy and paste, you can simply highlight and delete.

I and Caww will decide between ourselves whether or not we include each other thank you very much.

Um, dude, it’s Catholics that use those fellers as scripture. Others not so much. If you think those dudes were infallible wearing their Dagon the fish god priest hats that’s your business but don’t hold them up as the source to go to when trying to impress me. It ain’t happenin.

>>Note especially St. Augustine and Theophilactus who makes the distinction clear:<<

Yep! But I also know that when Catholics say words they mean something different then when scripture says them.

You can advise till shep has her pups but don’t expect me to take advise from anyone who follows the RCC.

>>You religion is based on crudity of thought.<<

Now what religion is that? Do you presume to know what “my religion” is?

>>Do not go there before you become Catholic and gain the indwelling of the Holy Ghost yourself.<<

What arrogance! I’ll believe what scripture says over any member of the RCC cult.

THAT'S funny.

How can you claim that Catholics have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit when they don't even believe Jesus stays in them after Communion if they sin.

You either have Christ in you and with it the indwelling of the Spirit, or you don't.

If Christ can leave you, the Holy Spirit can, too.

On again, off again salvation, completely works based.
