Pros And Cons Of The Hypostatic Union

Decent Essays
Hypostatic Union By this point, the gentlemen raised the question about the Hypostatic Union and what does it mean and is Jesus God? I simply explained that to them both that the Hypostatic Union is a word that is used to define how God his Son, Jesus Christ, conquered human life. And Jesus remained God ultimately at the identical instance. He has God like attributes that makes him unique, complete and unchangeable. Ironically, the beauty of the matter is that Jesus always had been God, even at the same time since the beginning. And that he took on human form in John 1:14. Also, Jesus is believed to be the God-man! And this is what make up the Hypostatic Union that Jesus Christ, is one entirely Person, God, and man.
Jesus both God and Man As the conversation expanded, the two gentlemen became even more curious, and that pleased me. I knew that their curiosity about Jesus was getting the best of them, and it was something about the Word that prompt them to want to know the Lord and Savior. However, I made it clear

The shorter man said, are you able to believe in something that you cannot see or feel and how you do know he is a real God. I looked at him and asked God to give me the knowledge to answer the questions accordingly to the Bible. First, I asked the questioner, how did you get hear? When you are in trouble, do you pray to God or Satan? Of all the famous celebrities that you idolize have you ever seen them before? And how are you able to praise a man or woman that cannot give you everlasting life? Throughout our world, mankind from all parts of the word has denied the Deity of Christ. For he is the one that was sent from the heavens by God to become man and die on the cross for our immorality. In Mal. 3: 1, it talks about how God announces that he sends his messenger and he will make the way for him. Within that verse, God makes it clear that the Lord will come to the

    His reaction was no he did not know Christ personally, but he has heard about Him before. I was able to talk about how his sons would not want to see their father in this shape and that he needs to get clean if not for him but for his children. He admitted that he wanted to get clean, but that he did not have the strength or willpower to stick with it. I told him that the Lord will give him peace if he calls on Him and He will be able to help him get through this.…

    Introduction In her presentation of theological economy, namely, the economy of grace, Kathryn Tanner investigates the practical implications of her incarnational dogmatic enterprise. I concur with Tanner’s claim of the urgent need of an economy of grace as I take into account the ever-growing gap of wealth between the rich and the poor as well as the Global North and the Global South. Furthermore, as George Harvey rightly diagnoses, it seems to be the unbridled desire for private possession in the capitalist market that resulted in the housing bubble, which eventually “destroyed the capacity for many to acquire and sustain their access to housing use values.” (George Harvey, 21).…

    Favorite Quote:“'Son of Man' is often thought to indicate the humanity of Jesus, just as the reflex expression 'Son of God' indicates his divinity. In fact, just the opposite is true. The Son of Man was a divine figure in the Old Testament book of Daniel who would come at the end of the world mankind and rule forever. Thus, the claim to be the Son of Man would be in effect a claim to divinity”(37).…

    Since man are naturally susceptible to corruption and sin, God had to enter the world in human form in order to guide man back to the state in which he created them in. The general idea of the incarnation of Jesus is very foreign to me in regards to it not being a part of my religious background. I was aware however that within Christianity this belief is taught and practiced. Learning that "God" was born in human form in order to save mankind is very hard for me to grasp. Since I was born and raised Muslim, this idea present many issues with my religious…

    The Book of John is foundational to the Christian faith. As a foremost document declaring the deity of Jesus, the text decisively establishes that He is God. Contained in the book, there are clear declarations by Jesus where He uses the name of God for Himself. By using the Old Testament name of God, “I AM,” Jesus is speaking in a style that presents Himself as deity. One place where this testimony is undisputable is in the description of the Good Shepherd.…

    “On the Incarnation” by Athanasius is an in depth explanation of who Christ is, what He came to do, how that was accomplished, and what the effects are of that in the world today. Athanasius makes an in depth case for Christ being fully God and fully man. He boldly argues for it, responding to the Jews, Gentiles, and heretics of the day. What is not as overtly emphasized, but equally important, is the role of the Trinity. Indeed, this book shows that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one God, yet they each have important roles to play in the process of salvation.…

    He then took us on a three-day journey. My brothers and I were wondering what was in store for us next? We stopped at the edge of a cliff and he pointed down at an area were there was a five-hundred-foot rock, a statue of the God Pam, and a temple in front of a well. There were people worshipping at the foot of the statue, committing murder, and throwing the bodies in the well. The man now looks at us with true authority and asked, “Who do you say that I am?”…

    N.T Wight, in his book Simply Jesus argues that modern people are guilty of oversimplifying Jesus, because they do not understand who Jesus really was, what he did, and why that matters. To truly understand who Jesus was, we must look at him from a first century perspective. People believed in many different ideas than what is believed today, so it is necessary to think in a way similar to how people in the first century thought in order to have a better understanding of who he was as a historical figure. To further understand Jesus, Wright argues that one must also be familiar with what he did in his lifetime. In his lifetime, Jesus gave a taste of the reality of what having God as king would be like, and acted as a walking temple.…

    “We are the misfits” was one of the last messages told by the pastor of the Evangelical Waterspring’s Chruch at 10:45 AM at 4250 25th East. After a long sermon of scripture, that was the leaving message before one final hymn performed by a very professional band. “We are the misfits” and their definition of a church as “people who shouldn’t be together but come together for the common goal of Jesus’s love.” I’d never particularly expected a saying like that to come out of a church or minister. In my experience, church and religious peoples were the norm, the majority, and sitting there surrounding by people swaying and singing and saying “amen” between pauses, I felt like I was the outsider.…

In actuality, God is part of the threefold trinity who laid down His deity and took on the form of man as God the Son.…
