Christendom tore itself apart forever because of this

>Christendom tore itself apart forever because of this

Catholic Church doesn't teach double procession. The Filioque wasn't even the reason for the Schism.

Anything related to the trinity is doomed to eternal contention and failure. It is ultimately incoherent and one of the main reasons why Christianity is a false teaching.

Wonder what God thought of all that shit.

Was the schism really over theology or was theology the excuse for power politics?

assyrian church of the east best xtianity

council of chalcedon worst schism

>Rome gets Greece
Why tho

That's just a theological excuse that was used to back both side's reasoning for distancing themselves. The real reasons were the introduction of the Pope as an infallible authority, whether or not Latin and Greek would be the only languages slavs could read the bible in and influence over those slavs. The Orthodox church rejected papal primacy and enabled the slavs to use their own language and alphabet, while the Latins advocated for the Pope and strict use of only Latin and Greek. The filioque is a meme but it was pulled out of the pope's ass

It didn't, it just played a very minor part to it. Papal supremacy was and is the chief point of contention.

>xtian
Why are atheists afraid of using Christ's name?

Ignore this devil. The Trinity is an academic issue and has nothing to do with personal faith.

What the hell is the holy spirit?

Christendom was never a unified doctrine. eusebius list 80 heresies by the time the Council of Nicaea rolls around. Not every Christian sect accepted Orthodoxy after that council.

The Great Schism was more political than anything else. The bottom line was that both the Pope and the Patriarch wanted to be head of the church.

this. All of the theologians debating this issues by their admission would never be able to explain what any of these words actually mean. Arianism is the only Christology that actually comports with the entirety of the NT

manichaeism & the gnostics too

You can't square gnosticism with the statement that "God so loved the world" though John's Gospel does have some rhetorical similarities to gnostic doctrine.

Not the Patriarch, only the Pope

>Anything related to the trinity is doomed to eternal contention and failure. It is ultimately incoherent and one of the main reasons why Christianity is a false teaching.

That is only because we have limited information of God’s internal structure. It’s like cavemen trying to deduce how computer works from broken fragment of a motherboard.

Still, christian God is something I think (as an agnostic, tips fedora) can exist and can have a reason to create the world and the man. Unlike the divine singularity of Judaism and Islam.

why does christianity even have that confusing mess of a trinity
why can't it just be god
t. never read the bible

Because they wanted to make Jesus the same as God instead of just a prophet or the messiah. They had to do this because Jesus was pretty heretical, which is a big reason that even though all the Abrahamic religions share common roots, they don't get along. Hersey was often treated worse than paganism.
