No its 'riduculous'! if not, then please show me just ONE bible verse that states "There are three persons on one God" or "God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit". Just ONE and I will also say "Its beautiful"! If not it must be FALSE and 'ugly'!

These videos are my favorite tools to help re evangelize my fellow Catholic that are in a spiritual slumber. They have helped me greatly for my re conversion. So much so that I am discerning a monastic vocation (OSB) Thank you so much my Divine Dogs of God. Domini-canus

[@ThomisticInstitute]

What a great thing to read! If Aquinas 101 can have this kind of effect, it is yet one more sign to us of God's power and blessing of this work! Thank you!

What a marvelous unfolding of this understanding of HIS mission in and through us to redirect our path back to HIM! Thanks for this lovely way of expressing the Divine Mission!

Amazing I only just found this channel. So happy. Thank you,

[@ThomisticInstitute]

Welcome! Glad you found us.

[@byron8657]

Thanks Father Dominic Ledge! You speaks with simplicity and clarity on how the Holy Trinity acts and help us the humankind His Children. Our Lord Jesus Christ is perfect God and Perfect man! Thanks for explaining the invisible mission of the Holy Spirit give us the gifts of Faith and infused in our hearts the gift of Charity! As St Augustine said and wrapped it up about his lifetime pursuit for happiness and peace in his heart he said I qoute Our Hearts are restless until it rest unto Thee my Lord and my God! St Paul prayer before he was beheaded in Rome etched in the wall of St Paul Cathedral in Rome is perpetually etched in my heart and in my mind and I Hope someday at the end of my brief sojourn here on Earth i utter the same I qoute I have fought the Good fight, I have run the course, i have finished the race, i have preserved the Faith! Now Lord this humble servant is ready to receive his reward! K

[@convulsingbaldman4954]

Thank you so much for making this course! I’m not quite up to this video yet (working through from the start with a notes book) but just saw it pop up in my notifications. You all do a great job. Thank you. I have the full summa arriving in the mail this week and this course has been a great primer so far as I prepare to delve into it. My question is, do any of the Dominicans belonging to the institute have books? If so, where can I find them?

[@ThomisticInstitute]

You might start with Fr. Thomas Joseph White's book: The Light of Christ. As concerns the missions of the Trinity, Fr. Dominic Legge wrote his dissertation on the subject: The Trinitarian Christology of St. Thomas Aquinas.

[@fernandolh6538]

Wishing these truths were openly and more often preached! What a pity the concepts we make of salvation and what does it mean for oneself to be saved! I've found some light here 04:20 - 04:45 : "Jesus Christ came into the world so that we would be able to receive the GIFT of SALVATION, each of us individually, each of us having the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit dwell in our hearts. This is what Aquinas calls the invisible missions, because here there is no visible created effect by which a divine person is sent, but there is an invisible effect...." Emmanuel! Halleluja! Mane nobiscum, Domine! Veni, Sancte Spiritus! Abba, Father!

[@byron8657]

Now that there is this social media the preaching of the Goodnews of the Gospels the Bible will be so easy for all of us and the missionary works of the Catholic priest of Our Lord Jesus Christ! This is what the Good Lord Jesus Christ has said that until Hes words are not preached to the four corners of the world and to the people in the four corners of this world the end times will not come yet! K More of this videos! Godspeed Godsends Godbless k! More Power! K

Such a beautiful video; a kind of such good news to hear.If I can take that in and believe,that the Son n Holy Spirit ,dwell within me ,it is just so reassuring?

Great ,again n again,how do I know ,the Spirit lives within me?

[@claymcdermott718]

@Thomistic Institute I have a question. At 0:04, the diagram shows a spiration from the Son, and a spiration from the Father, that are"spirating" the Holy Spirit. I know Thomistic Institute knows that in Catholic doctrine, the Holy Spirit proceeds from Father and Son by one spiration and not by two spirations - but I think the diagram's mild trickiness is illustrative of that fact that: What it means for HS to spirate from F and S by one spiration is confusing. So, my question is: What does it mean to say that the HS proceeds from both F and S by (but one and only) one spiration?

[@ThomisticInstitute]

To say that the Spirit originates from Father and Son by one spiration is to say that the Father and Son act as one principle in the breathing forth of the Holy Spirit. So, it's not merely the Father and Son together breathes forth the Spirit or that the Father breathes forth the Spirit through the Son, but that the Father and Son originate the Holy Spirit as a single principle.

[@claymcdermott718]

@@ThomisticInstitute Thank you so much for the reply. I cannot tell you how happy I am that you make these things and then answer all these questions. I guess my follow-up is: Isn't the Holy Spirit of one principle with the Father and Son? This makes it sound almost as though there are two principles in the Godhead, the "F+S" and the "S."

[@ThomisticInstitute]

@@claymcdermott718 The Holy Spirit is one principle with the Father ad extra . . . so in acts like creation, redemption, and sanctification (those that concern creation) the Triune God asks as one principle. But, in matters that concern the distinction of Persons (the Trinitarian processions and relations) there is distinction of principle based upon origin. The Father is God from no one. The Son is God from the Father. The Holy Spirit is God from Father and Son. To speak of principles in this way is a matter of identifying the distinct origins of the Persons from which arise relations (paternity, filiation, common spiration, and procession). The Persons of the Holy Trinity, then, are just God subsisting as these relations. The Father is subsisting paternity. The Son is subsisting filiation. The Spirit is subsisting procession.

Is it possible to have a lecture on Feminist Theology on the emancipation of Women

[@nathanielolson]

This is wonderful episode, but if I may ask; how do the holy persons reside in the human soul if God is omnipresent? If God is everywhere then how does the soul receive the persons in grace? Is it simply a different presence than before?

[@ThomisticInstitute]

That's exactly the case. St. Thomas describes in Ia Q. 8 (aquinas101.thomisticinstitute.org/st-ia-q-8#FPQ8OUTP1) that God is present to all creation by essence, presence, and power. But, in the rational creatures (specifically in the just), he is also present by grace as in a temple. So, this is to say that he is present insofar as the rational creature can have God as both the object of his knowing and loving, and beyond this, that he can know and love with God's own knowledge and love of himself. This is just another way of saying that the image of God in us can be perfected in grace unto glory.

@@ThomisticInstitute great reply -- not sure if you have a video on this additional question: "Does the Holy Spirit leave us in a sense, or withhold grace, if we commit mortal or venial sin (and what does Confession do in our "restoration")?"

The Father promised salvation ( Psalm 130:7-8 ). He fulfilled. ( Matthew 1:23 NIV ). The Father and the Son are one. ( John 10:30 NIV ). Patripassianism.

Markus 12:29 'Yesus menjawab, "Inilah yang paling penting sekali : Dengarlah hai orang-orang Israel (*dan Kristian) : Tuan kita Allah(*God), (itu) Tuhan yang Satu (*bukan 3 / bukan Triniti)". Persoalan paling penting disini , siapakah Dia/IA yang dipanggil 'Tuan' (*Lord) yang disebut oleh Yesus dalam ayat di atas ? Yakni siapakah 'God / Allah / Tuhan' itu sebenar nya , dimana bila Yesus berdoa , beliau itu berdoa sambil 'memandang ke atas' ? ...... Dan yang sebenar-benar anti Christ atau anti Yesus adalah anti pada golongan yang dikiaskan sebagai MERPATI , BIRI-BIRI dan AWAN. ......

Christians are not accepting that God is only one, they are against of 10 commandments. God said don't bring other gods against my face. The Bible in 3 gods and Asherah Satan as wife of gods. 😊

[@Simeonlovesgod]

This comments just proves that you don’t understand the trinity . Christian’s doesn’t claim that they have 3 gods . We believe in one God which is revealed in the father the son and the Holy Spirit . They all share the same nature which makes them one God and not 3 Gods

Why is everything in catholicism so wordy and difficult to understand. Is to confuse and draw me other faiths? They explain Everything simple terms. Someone help plz. Plus boring as a worst lecture

[@chandrababubabu8817]

TRINITY The Christians are worshipping Spiritual God unlike other religions who worship God having physical body parts such as eyes, hands, feet etc. , and their God can change its shape. Moreover by touching or kissing or worshipping precious stones their sins would be forgiven, as it is believed to be the right hand of God. Such concepts or belief are not in Christianity. Trinity is nothing but a theological concept whose components are in the Bible. It is based on the scripture Mathew 28:19, which commands all Christians to make disciples of and BAPTISE them in the name of the “Father, Son and the Holy Spirit”. All three are divine spirits existing as a combined single spirit in heaven, ie. God (Father) is in “SPRIT” [John 4:24], Lord (Son of God - Jesus) is in “SPIRIT” [2Corinthians 3:17-18] and Holy Spirit is in “SPIRIT”, which combined together as a single spirit (Monotheistic) exists in heaven. For Lord Jesus said “Father and I are one” (John10:30). That invisible Monotheistic spirit cannot be seen by naked eye. And the single spirit in heaven transmits on earth God’s Spirit”, “Lord’s Spirit” and “Holy Spirit” on Christians, and which dwell or living in them. [Ref: 1) Corinthians 3:16, 2) Timothy 1:14, 3) Romans 8:9, 4) Galatians 4:6 etc.] When Christians praise and worship God by clapping hands and singing songs in our Churches that spirit will cover and shake true Christians, who can really feel its presence.

[@anthonybardsley4985]

That sign is a pagan sign the trichetra.. As is the idea of trinity.

No: The Trinity is very biblical, and the triquetra is a symbol used both in holy and pagan symbology (Just like the hexagram for example "✡️").
