Yeah, we need to know how you understand 'energies' and 'essences', ad-o.

He probably doesn't - he probably, like Sassy and Hope, reads it in the book and swallows it whole without any real understanding of what it means.

This is the problem with a spoon-fed impersonal belief system like Christianity. regardless of whose version you are looking at!

Oh ouch!  ::)

Essence that is, substance, which in reference to God is spirit. Energies that is, God's actions withn creation from that which allows creation to exist in the first place to miracles, for God works theough his creation.

Pain, or damage, don't end the world. Or despair, or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man, and give some back. - Al Swearengen, Deadwood.

The Holy Bible, probably the most diabolical work of fiction ever to be visited upon mankind.

Spirit cannot be substance, spirit is unsubstantial.

Philosophically it most certainly can, hence in the Creed we confess that the Son is of the same substance (homoousios) as the Father.
