  1 1 |         between a child and his father or his mother. God loves
  2 1 |       God and Who revealed Your Father and Your Holy Spirit to
  3 2 |    believing in three gods: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
  4 2 |       is that we believe in the Father, in the Son, and in the
  5 3 |    Creator of the Universe, the Father of us all. You exist, and
  6 4 |       one God when you speak of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? And
  7 4 |         in divinity? Is God the Father? Is God the Son? Is God
  8 4 |        say very simply that the Father is really God. And the Son
  9 5 |     includes three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
 10 5 |       had the same problem. One Father of the Church, St. Augustine,
 11 5 |        of the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

 14 5 |         them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy
 15 5 |      Holy One, Trinitarian God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we
 16 5 |         You, saying Holy is the Father, Holy is the Son, Holy is
 17 6 |                         God the Father~We all know that God is
 18 6 |         know that God is called Father. It will serve us well to
 19 6 |  Scriptures where God is called Father.~In the Old Testament the
 20 6 |        the psalmist says, "As a father pities his children, so
 21 6 |   another place he says again, "Father of orphans and judge of
 22 6 |          Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
 23 6 |       pray, He taught them "Our Father Who art in Heaven . . . ,"
 24 6 |        in this way He calls God Father. Again we find in the Gospel
 25 6 |    Scriptures that call God the Father, those that we have referred
 26 6 |        something. God is called Father in two senses: the moral
 27 6 |     doctrinal sense. God is the Father of all of us in a moral
 28 6 |         New Testaments. He is a Father with infinite love for His
 29 6 |       love for His creatures. A Father Who sends the sun and the
 30 6 |    other gifts to all people. A Father Who always receives with
 31 6 |       as they repent. He is our Father, our Creator, and our Protector.
 32 6 |         former glory. He is our Father because He intends us to
 33 6 |        these reasons, He is our Father. But all of us, and the
 34 6 |      Christ speaks about God as Father, He makes this same distinction.
 35 6 |       am not yet ascended to my Father, but go to my brethren and
 36 6 |         them, «I ascend unto my Father and your Father and to my
 37 6 |         unto my Father and your Father and to my God and to your
 38 6 |      say, I am ascending to our Father; He made the distinction.
 39 6 |    because Jesus called God His Father in a distinct and separate
 40 6 |   because He called God His own Father and made Himself equal to
 41 6 |         damnation.~Our Heavenly Father, You know that we are Your
 42 6 |       to acknowledge You as our Father by Grace and the Father
 43 6 |         Father by Grace and the Father of Christ by nature. Give
 44 6 |       to acknowledge You as our Father by Grace, but also to act
 45 6 |       is drawn toward sin, but, Father, we do not want this to

 47 7 |         one in essence with the Father, from Whom all things were
 48 7 |      existed, together with the Father. He was and is inseparable
 49 7 |        inseparable from God the Father. And He is Perfectly God.
 50 7 |        are also ascribed to the Father. He is called The One Who
 51 7 |       All-Knowing, Equal to the Father, Creator of the World.~From
 52 7 |        is Perfect God as is the Father. Christ Himself teaches
 53 7 |  worship the Son as they do the Father. He who does not revere
 54 7 |        Son, does not revere the Father." In other words, he who
 55 7 |      denies the divinity of the Father and, therefore, is an unbeliever.~
 56 7 |        Supper, Christ says, "My Father is greater than I." What
 57 7 |        since Christ regards the Father as greater than Himself,
 58 7 |   therefore is not equal to the Father and truly God. But these
 59 7 |   cannot really be equal to the Father. He is Perfect Man, but
 60 7 |     always "in the bosom of the Father." Never did He cease to
 61 7 |      above words of Christ, "My Father is greater than I," is that
 62 7 |        God "in the bosom of the Father," but I will return to the
 63 7 |        but I will return to the Father also as human. At that time,
 64 7 |         is good except One, the Father," but rather, "No one is
 65 7 |       to and as good as God the Father." Consequently, the Lord
 66 7 |       Good, All-good, as is the Father and the Holy Spirit.~Lord
 67 7 |     always "in the bosom of the Father" before all ages. You accepted
 68 8 |        of the Holy Trinity, the Father and the Son. This belief
 69 8 |         them in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy
 70 8 |     Holy Spirit is equal to the Father and to the Son. There is
 71 8 |     Life, Who proceeds from the Father, and is worshipped and glorified
 72 8 |     glorified together with the Father and the Son, Who spoke through
 73 8 |     glorified together with the Father and the Son." Who is worshipped
 74 8 |     glorified together with the Father and the Son, He is also
 75 8 |        uncreated God, as is the Father and the Son. They said that
 76 8 |        of the Holy Trinity, the Father and the Son. Why? As Theodoritos

 80 9 |      fits inside the Other. The Father fits in and is always inside

 86 9 |        of the Holy Trinity. The Father is unborn. The Son is born
 87 9 |          The Son is born of the Father. The Holy Spirit proceeds
 88 9 |        Spirit proceeds from the Father. The Father is the beginning,
 89 9 |   proceeds from the Father. The Father is the beginning, but the
 90 9 |       also. In other words, the Father did not exist before the
 91 9 |         Holy Spirit, nor is the Father superior to the other two
 92 9 |  because the Son is born of the Father does not mean that He is
 93 9 |          The Son is born of the Father but simultaneously and eternally

 96 9 |       that the substance of the Father exists up to a certain point
 97 9 |   Wherever the substance of the Father exists [i.e., everywhere]
 98 9 |       Holy Spirit. Wherever the Father exists [everywhere], there
 99 9 |        exists [everywhere], the Father and the Holy Spirit exist.
100 9 |    everywhere], there exist the Father and the Son.~Such are the
101 9 |        of the Holy Trinity. The Father is without beginning and
102 9 |         is co-existent with the Father, as we have previously explained,
103 9 |   explained, but is born of the Father simultaneously and eternally.
104 9 |         is co-existent with the Father, but proceeds from the Father

106 9 |   Spirit proceeds only from the Father, not "and from the Son"
107 9 |    Truth that proceeds from the Father" (John, 15-26). And so the
108 9 |           Who proceeds from the Father." The Third Ecumenical Council
109 9 |   return to the Orthodox faith.~Father without beginning, Son co-existent,
110 9 |        co-existent, born of the Father, Holy Spirit co-existent
111 9 |         and proceeding from the Father, Trinity of One Essence,

122 15|     Holy Trinity. An act of the Father and of the Son and of the
123 15|         of the Holy Spirit. The Father "consented." The Word "became

126 17|      God, He is born of God the Father "before all ages." As human,

128 17|         He that was born of the Father out of time, His Only-begotten
129 17|       brought it before God and Father." This was the purpose of
130 17|      and Your place next to the Father to descend to earth. To
131 18|          believes, "in one God, Father almighty, and in one Christ

138 20|          Who, together with the Father and the Son, is worshipped
139 20|       has the attributes of the Father and the Son. The Lord --
140 20|       Lord -- the Master -- the Father; the life-giving Son; the
141 20|       God. He proceeds from the Father, just as the Son is born
142 20|        the Son is born from the Father. The Father is the source
143 20|       born from the Father. The Father is the source of divinity.
