ShlamaI am a Chaldean Catholic. I am confused about something that I hope someone here will help explain to me. I understand that Kyana refers to an abstract nature, Qnoma refers to an individual but never personalized concrete nature, and Parsopa refers to a person. According to the chart the Father has a qnoma, the Son has a qnoma, and the Holy Spirit has a qnoma. However, only the Son is a Parsopa. Are we saying that the Father and the Holy Spirit are not persons? Further, are we saying that the Son was not a person prior to His conception?
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church on paragraph 253, the catechism confesses God as one God in three persons. Now if the Father, the Son (prior to conception), and the Holy Spirit are not Parsope or persons, then how do I reconcile this with what the catechism is saying?
Thanks for your help.
