Inseparability of Persons?

[JesusFan]

All 3 Persons have equally the full attributes of God

Yes, I agree. I think you meant internal (immanent processions). But there is also a distinction between the persons as well, right? You have the Father, the Son is begotten and Spiration of the Holy Spirit in the unity of autothean perichoresis.

All 3 are eternally each One fully God each One having full attributes of God

 

[Ladodgers6]

All 3 Persons have equally the full attributes of God

All 3 persons have homoousion

 

[JesusFan]

All 3 persons have homoousion

true, as each person has the "same stuff" that would define them as all being equally God

There is also another doctrine that goes with "Inseparability" called "Appropriation."

Appropriation: This doctrine teaches that he language structure in the New Testament, especially within Paul writings, reveals a pedagogical naming which basically means "a verse names one divine person in order to teach something about that person, even though the divine titles, attributes, and actions belongs to all three persons because there is one divine nature and one divine operation." Basically, pedagogical naming is not an exclusion of the other persons or as if a person is acting alone. When Scripture says, “one God, the Father” or “one Lord, Jesus Christ,” (1 Corinthians 8:6), this is not restricting God or Lord to one of the persons but revealing the relational identities of the persons within the one divine nature.

Definition: The term appropriation (Latin appropriatio, from appropriare = “to make one’s own”) and is a Trinitarian hermeneutic "a way of reading Scripture that recognizes how the persons act economically while the divine nature operates inseparably." Appropriation simply assigns a relational emphasis to one person and never implies that the other persons are absent or inactive. When Scripture names one person in a divine action, it is not teaching exclusively but using pedagogical naming to reveal personal distinctions. The action itself (the one divine operation) is always from the one indivisible divine nature. So, when Scripture says the Spirit sanctifies (Romans 15:16) it is highlighting a relational aspect of that person, not isolating the action to that person alone. This is why appropriation is a hermeneutical and it prevents us from reading Scripture in a way that divides the divine nature.

Example:

The Father is said to do something, but the Son and the Spirit does it too.

⦁ God the Father (Galatians 1:1).

But Scripture also says:

⦁ The Son raises Himself (John 2:19).
⦁ The Spirit raises Him (Romans 8:11).

This is not restricting and isolating the Father only.

⦁ God acts in one divine operation (Acts 2:24).

The Son is said to do something, but the Father and the Spirit does it too.

⦁ The Son creates (John 1:3)

But Scripture also says:

⦁ The Father creates (1 Corinthians 8:6).
⦁ The Spirit creates (Psalms 104:30).

This is not restricting and isolating the Son only.

⦁ God acts in one divine operation (Isaiah 44:24, 45:18).

The Spirit is said to do something, but the Father and the Son does it too.

⦁ The Spirit sanctifies (Romans 15:16).

But Scripture also says:

⦁ The Father sanctifies: (John 17:17).
⦁ The Son sanctifies (Hebrews 13:12).

This is not restricting and isolating the Spirit only.

⦁ God acts in one divine operation (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

Therefore, all three persons are subsisting in the same divine nature through one inseparable divine operation.

But are also distinct in persons.

But are also distinct in persons.

Yes, not same person, as that would be Oneness/Modualism heresy
