You accept my position?

I didn’t say God can’t touch creation. I said He isn’t affected by us - nature doesn’t control, contain, distort, or affect God/He stands outside it - so, we can never touch Him, He must touch us first. Therefore, *if* God does interact with creation, that energy (action) is a new effect - it’s...

Only if you consider the energies (actions) to be attached to the essence (being of God) like fingers. If instead you say God’s actions (energies) are distinct (new) interactions in the world, then these are parts of God, at all. Instead, the “energies of God” is the name for the direct contact...

Thomism specifically states that God has no relation to the world (that is, He is not in or affected by the happening of the created world). So no, this isn’t true.

The way I understand created Grace is, there was a time that Grace wasn’t operating > God performs an act > there is a change (created, different than what was before). The Grace is created only in the relation of God to the object - the action (energy) is a change (created) Which is not how...

Does it really depose the Pope?

Perhaps not, I can't find it, at the moment. Probably misremembering.

I would have to do some digging. The original intent of the Emperor was much stricter, and if I remember correctly He wanted to excommunicate the entire Roman church. The Father of the council instead made sure to detail they only judged the Pope for not upholding orthodoxy.

It necessary for the excommunicated heretic to affirm his own excommunication? This didn’t happen for the other excommunicated Patriarchs.

It's both interesting the distinction the Fathers of the Council made, against the intent of the Emperor, which was to judge the Pope and not the whole Roman church (explicitly). Also interesting that even after this had been done, they imprisoned Pope Vigilius until he ratified the council and...

He's not one to go on the offensive, but I've never heard him say anything suspect. He's not an academic, but spends most of his time targeting highschool/college age kids with his content.

Why wouldn't it be? Yes.

Perhaps I am from Samaria. I promise not to walk past you.

What are these from? Is this from the 14th century Greek council? Should I quote Trent to you, and consider you beaten? These anathemas do no capture the Latin doctrine. Given that, are we both now in agreement?

You’re rude.

I don't think I've seen this one. My understanding of the differences in the E&E argument largely deals with definition. That is, we don't mean the same things with the words we are using.

And imprisoned for 10 years for refusing to ratify the council. He was released when he ratifying it, saying he erred as Pope for permitting a heretical document to be circulated.

No, thanks. I just remembered I left this site.

-The Way of the Pilgrim I don't think any eastern Christians would mince meaning between the literal heart of a person and it being understood as the seat of a person's being. However, some eastern Christians would mince that meaning with Jesus. It would seem the Catholics are not the ones who...
