Jay Dyer explains to a Roman-Catholic the Orthodox distinction between the (1) Essence / Nature, (2) the Ypostasis / Person(s) and (3) the Uncreated Energies of God. • Please, press SHOW MORE : • That God Who is invisible by nature is made visible by His energies, we perceive from the organization and government of the world. (St. John Damascene, the beginning of the 8th century AD, An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith , Book I, Chapter XIII) • http://orthodoxwiki.org/Gregory_Palamas * http://azbyka.ru/otechnik/books/origi... • But even if this man considers that everything that has a beginning is created, we for our part know that while all the energies of God are uncreated, not all are without beginning. Indeed, beginning and end must be ascribed, if not to the creative power itself, then at least to its activity, that is to say, to its energy as directed towards created things. Moses showed this, when he said, 'God rested from all the works which He had begun to do.' • In the above quote from his Triads , Palamas makes a distinction between essence and energy in relation to creation precisely to avoid turning creation into something co-eternal with God. God was not always creating, although He possesses the power to create from eternity. The creative power of God, which is one of His energies, was obviously not created. • Links for further reading: • http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:9a1f... * http://oldenglishchurch.org.uk/the_he... • http://oodegr.com/english/theos/energ... * http://thoughtsintrusive.wordpress.co... • http://pravmir.com/the-heart-is-deep-... * http://orthodoxinfo.com/praxis/franci... • http://libgen.io/book/index.php?md5=E... * http://libgen.io/book/index.php?md5=F... • http://academia.edu/7090040/_The_Divi... * http://academia.edu/36003293/_Aquinas... • http://uky.edu/~dbradsh/papers * http://ecmarsh.com/fathers/npnf2/NPNF... • http://jaysanalysis.com/2010/04/12/de... * http://jaysanalysis.com/2018/09/12/au... • http://jaysanalysis.com/2018/09/21/a * http://jaysanalysis.com/2018/09/11/th... • http://jaysanalysis.com/2018/09/10/fi... * http://jaysanalysis.com/2010/04/06/cr... • http://jaysanalysis.com/2019/02/19/et... * http://jaysanalysis.com/2010/04/11/gr... • http://jaysanalysis.com/2019/08/10/is... • Note: • The Most Holy Family Monastery (MHFM) is a Sedevacantist rationalistic cult represented by the Dimond Bros., who on their website and in their YouTube videos cherry-pick verses from the Holy Scriptures and the writings of the Holy Fathers, blending them the way the Protestants use to do. They're tendentiously misrepresenting the Eastern Orthodox theology as, for example, in the case of the teaching about the uncreated energies of God and the essence/energies distinction, regarding which they're extensively focusing on very few quotes from the writings of one or two Fathers, by taking them out of their context. Nevertheless, every Orthodox knows and also every Catholic should know that the Fathers, as individuals, were fallible, but that only their common mind , which expressed itself at the highest level in the decisions of the Ecumenical Councils and the ratified local ones, is infallible (the teaching of the One, Holy, Universal - not Roman-Catholic - and Apostolic Church). • http://la-foi.fr/mhfm/en/index.aspx * http://23rdstreet.com • http://thesedevacantistdelusion.com * http://trueorfalsepope.com • Watch other videos by Jay Dyer related to the topic: • • Refuting Roman Catholicism Ecumenis... * • The Gospel IS Theosis: Direct Knowled... • Learn more about Eastern Orthodoxy: • http://bit.ly/2kuM7KM http://bit.ly/2J8xCKP • Download and read Jay's books: • http://booksdescr.org/item/index.php?... • http://booksdescr.org/item/index.php?... • video © • Відео * http://jaysanalysis.com/?s=energies • God Lord Jesus Christ Holy Spirit Ghost Trinity Eastern Orthodox Church Virgin Saint Mary Gospel Christian Faith Belief Apostle Truth True Greek Russian
