Question about the Most Holy Trinity

[pohandes]

Also, I am wondering why you think the St. Thomas Aquinas is wrong?

I don’t think he is wrong. I am not sure.

Good discussion.

And also remember St. Gregory of Nyssa (335-395 A.D.), an early expression of the faith after Nicaea (325 A.D.):

“Though we hold that the nature is not different, we do not deny the difference arising in regard of the source and that which proceeds from the source; but in this alone do we admit that one Person differs from another.”

God is simple and alone, and Father and Son are in his essence but they are two distinct persons. I meant it seems impossible.

Could the greatest commandments possibly describe how Christ is One with the Father?

The Father loves the son as he loves himself.

The Son loves the Father as he loves himself.

Could the spirit be the power of God’s love; working through the perfection of the greatest commandments?

1 Samuel 18-1, NIV version

Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself.

Could the Father love the Son more than he loves himself, can there be any greater relationship between the Father and Son?

Just a simplistic and profound way to challenge the mind to think.

I am Catholic, with a profound interest in the greatest commandments.

If Trinity means that God the Father loves his son, the before the love, persons did exist without the love. So you are not describing the Holy Trinity.

The Trinity has often been described as a relationship between the Father and Son. The greatest commandments seem to describe a greatest form of relationship.

I am not trying to claim any truth. This is just a way to challenge the mind to think about the meaning of a greatest relationship.

I don’t think so. The Holy Trinity has often been described relationships is God, and persoms are the sides of these relationship.

there is the relationship, but in Essence, not in persons. God knows himself, so there is a self-knowing relationship in God and sides of this relationship are the persons. knower is the Father and the Known is the Son.

Would you say that the Father does not love the Son as he loves himself.
The Son does not love the Father as he loves himself.
