ceeboo,

Thanks for your response. (Yes question 5 is not part of the social trinitarian questions but a personal query, I come from a non creedal traditional, whilst I personally affirm the historic creeds as in line with what the NT teaches (if I felt the need to descibe God using Greek philosophical concepts), they are not the marker of a disciple of Jesus to me).

PC,
From your previous posts I would take it 1-4 would be yes for you?

Miss-halfway,

I wouldn't disagree with anything PC said. As for a definition the Nicene and Chalcedon creeds are the common definitions that is nearly universally accepted but it is as much about what you can't say about God then what you can.

God that splits into different roles is Modalism, it seems that a lot if LDS think that is traditional Christians believe.

As for what Father looks like, Revelation has some verbal descriptors but I would say indescribable, beyond our comprehension. We will struggle to say anything when in the presence of the Father or to remember anything but the absolute love, goodness, holiness present before us.

(If your wondering about the phrase "traditional christians", it is a way to distinguish Christians who follow the traditional Christian teachings and Bible and who largely recognize each other as fellow followers of Jesus as opposed to those, like the LDS, who have differing veiws on a range of topics. I could use Christians and Mormons but a number of LDS see themselves as Christians too, so I use LDS and traditional Christians.)


abqfriend,

Could you have a go at my questions, I would love to get some feedback from Catholic/Orthodox people?
