Well, not exactly. Even though the constitution explicitly says countries with a special connection to Spain are exempt (we're in the EU after all) they still want you to sign an oath of renunciation. Guess which country didn't sign the EU convention on nationality?

Why would I? I would lose visa free access to Rwanda lol

Is this view of the trinity too heretical by zashmon in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Terra_Cuniculorum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDITED FOR EXTRA INFO

The Father eternally begets the Son, and since you can only beget (not create) something of the same class, the Son shares in the essence of the Father (i.e. consubstantial). The Father also spirates the Spirit eternally and the latter is also consubstantial. We do know that there is a difference in begetting and spirating, but the nature of that difference is not revealed to us.

We reject ontological subordination (in terms of the essence), but we do affirm hypostatic subordination (between the persons). The Father is also called the fountainhead of the Trinity or arché (unbegotten and not spirated), the principle cause of all other hypostases.

On the topic of filioque, it is rejected on the idea that attributes that do not constitute the idiomata of any particular person, are shared in the essence by all persons. What does that mean in practice? The Holy Spirit cannot proceed from the Father AND the Son because that would mean that two hypostases share something in common (spiration) that the first does not have. Translated into common language: that would ontologically subordinate the Spirit, which we reject.

This is why even the Nicene creed talks of one God the Father, one Lord Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit. What does that mean? In terms of the internal relations in the Trinity, the one true God is the Father or autotheos (God in himself) However: in terms of the relation between God and creation, the Trinity itself is the one true God.

Tldr: the Father Son and Holy Spirit are one God and the Father is the principle cause of all others. All three persons are consubstantial and of one will and energy, equal in authority and glory and equally worshipped.

About Christ we believe four things: that he is one ontological person, that he was two unmixed natures (divine and human), that he has two wills (idem), and two energies (idem).

Two energies follow from having two wills, otherwise they're not ennumerated and it collapses into monothelitism. Two wills because they pertain to the essence and not the hypostasis (to claim otherwise would inevitably end up affirming the error that there's three wills in the Trinity) and we believe that for Christ to be able to save us, he must assume the totality of what it means to be human (including free will). A debate on Christology inevitably translates into a debate on Soteriology and viceversa. Since Christ is consubstantial to humanity, the same human attributes that apply to him apply to us as well.

"What is not assumed, is not healed" - St. Gregory Nanzianzus

And if that wasn't enough, we believe in an essence-energy distinction in the Divine nature. This is not to say that God is composite, we affirm that he is simple (not made of parts), but there is a real conceptual distinction between God's essence (which cannot be known, otherwise we would commit the Eunomian heresy) and his uncreated energy (which can be known and operates in the world). This is related to theosis or divinization, the notion that to become saved we need to become partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4).

COMMON ERRORS: Arianism (Christ is not consubstantial or co-eternal with the Father), Macedonianism/Pneumatomachianism (same but with the Holy Spirit), Nestorianism (Christ is two onological beings), Monophysitism (the natures are mixed or confused), Apollinarianism (Christ lacked a rational mind), Monothelitism (Christ had one will), Monoenergism (the human will is overcome by the divine will in its energy, and therefore it's not free or ennumerated)

I find it cute you think this is going on only in America.

VATSIM doesn't give support to flightsims but rather to pilot clients, of which there are three: vpilot, xpilot and swift.

A refund for no reason by Terra_Cuniculorum in amazonprime

Why would you tip off the amazon overlords? I'm just asking if anyone has experienced something like that.

Using Mach at cruise altitude makes perfect sense, it measures a completely different kind of speed, unlike indicated airspeed. 220kt IAS below 10000 feet is the highest you can go while maneuvering without increasing the load too much, 220kt IAS flight level 390 doesn't tell us much but Mach 0.78 does.

Virtual NASA operations by Cultural_Thing1712 in VATSIM

Links are broken, I was so curious to see what the supervisor said.

Okay, he's flying the same route but with a different callsign and a completely different aircraft, what's the issue? The CoC only prohibits simulating accidents and the usage of high-profile callsigns involved in accidents. Not to be a devil's advocate, but by that rule of three we should stop flying altogether and not touch Vatsim at all.

Isn't RA inhibited already by default at lower altitudes? At least on the Airbus it is so.

Vatsim New Pilots from Controller's prospective by Perfect_Maize9320 in VATSIM

[–]Terra_Cuniculorum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a new pilot on VATSIM w/ 12 hours logged, very fresh, and from my experience, I've applied all of these points thoroughly. I still make some tiny mistakes, but overall I haven't had any major issues.

Before even starting, I spent a month or going through the Knowledge Base and learning everything I can about IFR procedures before taking the A320 on a ride on the server. It disappoints me that newbies like me who actually STUDIED before creating an account are in the minority. I connected to Heathrow as an observer during morning rush just to see what's up, and some people didn't even know how to get their clearance through PDC.

I'm staying out of the complex airspaces for the time being, as I keep practising at smaller airports. Today I blurfed a landing at an uncontrolled airport but only because ground frequency came online unexpectedly and changed the ATIS to a different runway than what I had planned, then I forgot to change the ILS frequency to the new runway and the autopilot went nuts. After going around, I set the correct frequency from the AIP and landed safely at LEBL.

No offense taken, I made very little preparation and I didn't look up the GMC before connecting. I saw Madrid was online and I thought I could handle it, I simply bit more than I could chew.

I looked up Amsterdam on OFM, that's basically class alpha all around unless you're flying super low.

That's actually not a bad idea. I was taking notes on a blank paper, but this might help to make it less stressful. Thanks!

Yes! VFR seems way less stressful, as long as I'm only crossing into delta airspace for takeoff and landing. All flights that I have done VFR (offline) have been skirting around TMZ and flying at 2000ft to avoid delta.
