[Kolokotronis]

“...and the diversity within the Godhead (hypostasis)”

One hypostasis, three hypostasia.

The Cappadocians are noted for the expression, “I believe in God; God does not “exist”.” That little phrase is of fundamental importance when trying to comprehend the theological dogma that the three hypostasia of the Trinity are “homoousios”. Failure to accept that dogma and to understand it insofar as that is possible, inevitably leads today as it did 1600+ years ago, to both Trinitarian and Christological heresies.

These three could also be considered the Fathers of Islam. Mohammed was able to use the trinity to proclaim the Church is tri or poly theistic and that he had the only true mono theistic belief system. Islam now has more followers than Rome and is growing larger every day.

These church fathers, like us, will be judged by the fruits of their/our works. Islam has produced over a billion lost souls and still adding. I find it hard to believe that these Fathers were led by the Holy Spirit, as the Church claims, when you consider how the fruit of this doctrine has produced so many lost souls.

To make it worse, these same individuals call you a heretic if you refuse to propagate this bitter fruit.

Thanks but no thanks. I will not plant that tree in my spiritual orchard. Especially, when there is nothing in scripture that says I need that tree to be saved.
