'''Filioque''' is the theological concept that was at the root of the [[Great Schism]].  It concerns whether the [[Holy Spirit]] originates from "[[God]] the Son" ([[Jesus]]) and "God the Father," as taught by the western church in Rome, or whether the Holy Spirit originates only from God the Father, as taught by the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]].

'''Filioque''' (pronounced fee-lee-oh-kway) means "and of the Son." In [[Christianity]], it means that [[Holy Spirit]] emanates from the Father and the Son.  This is part of the [[Nicene Creed]] but was never accepted by Eastern Christianity.

 

Filioque is the theological concept that was at the root of the [[Great Schism]].  Western CHristianity (the [[Roman Catholic Church]], [[Anglican]]s, and all [[Protestant]] religions tech that the [[Holy Spirit]] originates from "[[God]] the Son" ([[Jesus]]) and "God the Father." The [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] teaches that the Holy Spirit originates only from God the Father.

 

 

Bible verses are cited by Eastern Christianity for their opposition to filioque.
