LOL. Ahhh. The ever-humble all-knowing "Ask Mr. Religion" speaks divine oracles again. We all must take heed to the master.
There nothing simple about ousia, especially when contrasting hypostasis. Your over-simplification isn't befitting history OR etymology, regardless how highly you regard yourself, your denominated sectarian schizm, and your biased dead language awareness that you presume superior to others.
More pomposity and bomasticity as prevarication and obfuscation.
No. A hypostasis is the underlying foundational absolute assured substantial objective reality of existence. A hypostasis is not a "person". It has no inherent characteristics of a "person". It's made personAL by the prosopon that gives it an outward appearance and/or presence. A face. A person.
God is ONE of those (hypostasis), per Hebrews 1:3. I don't give a rip how you and historical DyoHypoTrins have misconstrued it and multiplied it into three. It's a postualtion for formulation from a Greek vocab scavenger hunt that was to counter NeoPlatonism, etc. It doesn't matter what assigned meanings it has if it's NOT in scripture in triplicate for God; and INSTEAD is in the singular.
I couldn't care less what some other indoctrinated fool says in lexical excerpts about a non-existent DyoHypoTrin god. It's all just a massage band-aid to avoid Tritheism.
The bottom line is you have to appeal to other DyoHypoTrins for authority. You can't appeal to Sola Scriptura for multiple hypostases.
LOLOL. It's the inverse. The entire 1700 years of fixation upon extra-biblical multiple hypostases is the web of error, and endless millions of minions have been and are caught in it.
Godhead is Theotes or Theiotes. It's not "the DyoHypoTrinity". Godhead is divinity. You hijack every term for a meaning all its own in your false doctrine.
And don't speak of tradition and the Church, Reformer.
NOW you appeal to the Church tradition selectively. Reformed when it's expedient. Traditional when it's convenient.
The Church isn't an institution unto itself, just as the government isn't an institution unto itself.
The Church didn't speak. A succession of Bishops spoke. And there was much more to the prolonged and contrived process of the Councils than you likely are aware of, evidently. And that was all the Church you reject. You pick and choose at your own discretion, just like all the sectarian divisions do.
Keep denominating yourself. It doesn't give much creedance to your claims of a "Church" that spoke. You've left THAT Church in reformation and affiliated yourself within a group that has denominated itself from the RCC, the EOC, and all other Christian sects. Thousands of them.
Nope. I'm a Reconciliationist. But in the process of reconciliation, others have to see their error. You can't and won't. You presume the DyoHypoTrin doctrine is grandfathered as absolute objective truth because of an age-old religio-political battle that gave us intermittent Arian O/orthodoxy and all manner of conflict.
I'm not the one sowing discord and error. DyoHypoTrins have anathematized the entire world over subtleties of semantics and all manner of minutiae.
Correct. It's been an available truth that a number of others have attempted to explain and resolve, including many professing DyoHypoTrins. I just finished the task and am willing to stand up to all the DyoHypoTrin bullies who are so smug in their sectarian schizm and lifeless denominationalism of misrepresentation of God Himself.
Again with the tradition of an institutional Church you've denounced as Reformed. How convenient and expedient for you to always hypocritically play both sides of the fence.
Your assertions are baseless opinion of an indoctrinate and denominator of self and sect. You feign unity. You feign love. You feign being the representative and arbiter of all spiritual truth.
Your impotent and immanent god couldn't and didn't create ALL. Your false multi-hypostatic god is inherently contained and constrained in and by an eternity you insist He didn't create. That UNcreated eternity renders your god null and void.
The ANFs and ECFs missed ONE thing. ONE. And one subsequent thing because of that, leading to a diminution of total truth. The sub-tenets are correct, and Athanasius was particularly insightful in the Cappadocian effort to unite semantics, etc. But they still missed something, and all else was to compensate for that. God created eternity, and is inherently transcendent TO it, though inhabiting it for all everlasting.
The bulk of their attention was on the many internal and external challenges to the faith; and many of those were to hybridize Christianity with other existing belief systems. In the midst of all that, they missed the true and utter transcendence of God to ALL creation; and that includes Him INhabiting eternity when/as He created it by His Logos. His literal and actual Logos. The Logos that was with and was God. Wholly divine, and became flesh.
If you weren't so dogmatized and compromised, you might be able to divest your insidious bias to know the truth. You prefer the doctrines of men's dialectic over the didactic truth of inspired scripture.
God is not three hypostases, regardless how you want to play the semantics. You have nothing from the text but attempted inference, and mostly based on self-refuting personal pronouns and the like.
F/S/HS are all distinct, eternal, uncreated, non-modal, concurrent, conessential, consubstantial, ontological Deity. But they're not a triplicate of any singular term, and they're not multiple hypostases ("persons").
God is ONE transcendent ousia. God is ONE qualitativley two-fold heavenly-immanent hypostasis. And the Incarnate Logos is the earthly-immanent prosopon OF that hypostasis (the express image OF God's hypostasis).
You're blinded by dogma, ideology, denomination, schizm, and the dialectic consensus of men over the didactic truth of God by His Word and His Spirit. You're in the majority, presuming might makes right. It isn't and doesn't.
