Chalcedonian Creed
An ancient creed about the Trinity and Jesus Christ.

Circa 451 A.D.

Therefore, following the holy fathers, we all with one accord teach
men to acknowledge one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, at
once complete in Godhead and complete in manhood, truly God and truly
man, consisting also of a reasonable soul and body; of one substance
with the Father as regards his Godhead, and at the same time of one
substance with us as regards his manhood; like us in all respects,
apart from sin; as regards his Godhead, begotten of the Father before
the ages, but yet as regards his manhood begotten, for us men and for
our salvation, of Mary the Virgin, the God-bearer; one and the same
Christ, Son, Lord, Only-begotten, recognized in two natures, without
confusion, without change, without division, without separation; the
distinction of natures being in no way annulled by the union, but
rather the characteristics of each nature being preserved and coming
together to form one person and subsistence, not as parted or
separated into two persons, but one and the same Son and Only-begotten
God the Word, Lord Jesus Christ; even as the prophets from earliest
times spoke of him, and our Lord Jesus Christ himself taught us, and
the creed of the fathers has handed down to us.

Changing the subject in this thread as well, why don;t you start your
own post with the subject of your choice.
This changing the topic is really bad manners and destroys a thread
that people other than yourself may be following,
It is the kind things people do in fascist dictatorships,

What are you on about?

The topic is Chalcedonian Creed, and the content is the Chalcedonian
Definition. One might quibble about whether it is a "creed", but the content
fully accords with the subject line.

The topic is "Chalcedonian Creed".

It's on topic in all the NGs its posted in. If you don't like it, start your

Act 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and
foreknowledge of YHWH, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have
crucified and slain:
Act 2:24 Whom YHWH hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death:
because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

neither heard His voice at any time, NOR SEEN HIS FORM.


Mat 12:18 Behold my SERVANT, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom
my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall
shew judgment to the Gentiles.
Joh 5:27 And hath GIVEN him authority to execute judgment also,
because he is the Son of man.

Joh 5:24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word and

and saying, “YOU both KNOW ME, and you know where I am from. And I

Joh 12:50 And I know that HIS COMMANDMENT IS EVERLASTING LIFE:

Jim Sheffield has been in the bad habit of responding to posts with large
chunks of irrelevant quoted text that have no connection with the subject
being discussed. If there is a connection that he sees, he does not bother to
explain it to anyone else.

However, he did not do that in this case.

He posted text that was relevant to the subject line, so Michael picked the
wrong thing to quarrel with him about.

Jim has done the wrong thing many times, but this time he did the right thing:
new material, new subject line. He should be applauded for that. It is good to
see that Jim is beginning to learn good netiquette.

Snow, the Son is the 2nd person of the Holy Trinity.  I believe you call the
Holy Trinity as Yahweh.

The Son is a man that manifested the spirit of YAHWEH my brother.
Where I disagree with my brothers is in defining, "manifested" vs.
"incarnate"... a word that limits the spirit to ONE being, which we
know for a fact is not the case when many men and in fact ALL men may
be one with that spirit.

I do not deny that Yehoshua manifested the spirit and work great
miracles as recorded in the good news, only that the deity of YAHWEH
is limited to the being of a single man... I hope you can understand
this and if you do not, I respect your faith brother and know that I
have admired you as a friend, a brother and a fellow believer.

It is not my position to deny the Spirit, I only seek to better define
it for my brothers... that all may be one with the Spirit is clearly
taught by the Good News and that we have the potential to do as great
and greater things if we believe and obey the voice of the spirit of
YAHWEH.

Respectfully,
Num 6:24 “Yahweh bless you and guard you;
Num 6:25 Yahweh make His face shine upon you, and show favour to you;
Num 6:26 Yahweh lift up His face upon you, and give you peace.” ’

If you are one with the spirit, does that make you God? Or would you
teach that one can't manifest the spirit? When the Messiah breathed
his spirit on his disciples, did that make them God?

He made them partakers of the divine nature. But it was his to give
because he himself had it from the beginning. He had the Spirit
without measure. there is a difference between a partaker and one who

18:1 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he
sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

18:2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by
him: and when he saw [them], he ran to meet them from the tent door,
and bowed himself toward the ground,

18:3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight,
pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:


The icon of the Trinity was painted around 1410 by Andrei Rublev

It depicts the three angels who visited Abraham at the Oak of Mamre -
but is often interpreted as an icon of the Trinity.

It is sometimes called the icon of the Old Testament Trinity.

The image is full of symbolism - designed to take the viewer into the
Mystery of the Trinity.
