God

One God, eternally Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — the Father sends, the Son is sent and is Himself God come in the flesh, and the Spirit proceeds from the Father and is sent by the Son.

One God, eternally Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father sends. The Son is sent, and is Himself God come in the flesh. The Spirit proceeds from the Father and is sent by the Son — as Christ Himself said: the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father.

We do not adjudicate the metaphysical disputes that divided East and West on this question. We take the words as Christ gave them and say no more than He said.
