Trinitarian Logoi
Topic: Theology
Question:
Does the phrase
God speaking the Son by the Spiritdetrimentally miss an important theological truth of the filioque and, hence, a part of the Gospel of John's book of Glory discourse? Or, is it a helpful theological shorthand for Trinitarian relationships that is not addressing this particular theological dimension of procession?
Just for something completely different, answer "out loud" in the comments.

I've been wondering the same thing ... if the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son, saying that the Father speaks the Son by the Spirit almost seems to suggest instead that the Son is begotten by the Father and the Spirit ... what do you think, man? I'm not at all sure ...
