Talk:Perichoresis

message: Some context is needed for the use of this word.  Has it been used by theologians since the 1728 reference? If so, please give some more modern references.  If not, it should be relegated to its historical use.  Also, please provide an English transliteration of the Greek word, so others can attempt a pronunciation of it.  --Blainster 21:36, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Excuse me but I clicked onto "mutual indwelling", and the first section tries to explain it with the phrase "mutual interpenetration and indwelling"...!! WTF?!? As a layman, I find this explanation of the term ever so slightly on the attrocious side...!85.158.137.195 (talk) 16:06, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  co-inherence nicely laid out... 

message: Just noticed that some things about the Holy Spirit and the Trinitarian role of salvation has found its way into this article, but it is supposed to be only about Perichoresis - the relationship of unity between God the Father and God the Son.  Perhaps it could use a little cleanup to stay on topic. Kristamaranatha (talk) 21:47, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The only reason that Christians care about this topic is because of the interrelations of the "roles" of father and son and spirit in salvation.  Without that, the topic would not exist because there is no good reason to discuss it. — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 14:44, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trinity 

message: Also, if I'm not incorrect, this term may have a difference sense of use or acceptance among 1) Roman Catholics 2) Greek Orthodox and 3) Protestant conservatives (some of whom seem to see it as too loose or too loosely applied, although I am not yet sure how they find it so. It might be useful, if anyone knows more about that, to put a short 2-3 liner in discussing why (having to do with the procession of the Spirit, between 1 and 2, I'm fairly sure that at least needs to be clarified since the two systems don't see that the same way.)

thread_title: Confessional ''Differentia''

message: "The Nicene Creed establishes that the Triune God is one ousia (essence/nature) in three hypostases (instances or persons)." - this is not correct, the 325 creed talks only about Christ and God as being homoousious and does not mention 3 hypostases at all. The Holy Spirit is simply mentioned at the end in a different context. Thus the rest of the article is incorrect and biased. AFAIK none of those early creeds talk about Holy Spirit in this manner.

thread_title:  Nicene creed 

message: Despite the fact that this is drawn from Wikidictionary I have my doubts about its correctness.  My Greek is rusty, but I should expect the noun formed from choreuo to be choreusis and this in fact exists (see http://artflx.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/getobject.pl?c.82:2:174.LSJ Liddell and Scott)  What I suspect is that someone has picked up a non-academic etymology from one of the early christian fathers who were unreliable in this area especially if Latin and opining on Greek.  Can anyone find a truly reliable source? Jpacobb (talk) 18:37, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alternative etymology 

message: "...the relationship between each person of the triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit)" and what? What's the difference between a duck?
Taram made a right pig's ear of this article with his/her revision of the article (21:47, 13 February 2014), simplifying the vocabulary perhaps, but with abysmal grasp of style and sentence structure, making it harder to understand than it was before.
