No, "proceeds" is "goes out from" or "moves towards something". It is not "sent from"Then what is the issue?
Because Jesus said I send. Proceeds from is sent from.
Are you implying that the Holy Spirit sends itself? After all, all three persons are ONE. They all share the same divine will.Jesus speaks in place of the Father and says if You see Me, you see the Father.
A child will be born and shall be CALLED the Father Almighty.
Jesus speaks of the Son from the place of the Father, as though speaking of another rather than Himself.
And does so interchangeably. Because They are ONE. Not separate. SO what the Father does, so does the Son, the Spirit of the Lord Who is in fact the Lord.
AND lastly because Jesus goes away and sends the Holy Spirit because of His life, death and Resurrection the Holy Spirit proceeds. His life, death and Resurrection was the Will of the Father. So it was the Will of the Father in the Three Divine.
