Incarnation

through the incarnation. As we have seen above, Barth conceives of God’s being in terms of act, not in terms of substance. Understanding God’s being in terms of substance often gives us complications to understand how the triune God works in eternity and in time without changing his substance. When it comes to the incarnation, this identity problem seems to become more obvious. How could divine God become human without changing his substance? To preserve divine immutability in the…

not the case! While endorsing Cyril’s concept of the hypostatic union of Christ, Tanner paradoxically abnegates Cyril’s theopaschitic position. Tanner takes an explicitly non-kenotic approach to the incarnation of Christ. That is, God does not give up or sacrifice anything of God’s own in the incarnation. The hypostatic union is the process of divinity’s perfection of humanity in the person of Christ without any self-sacrifice to the divine nature. For this reason, the reader of Tanner faces…

Of all the events in human history, there is no event more significant, more important than that of the incarnation of Christ. When the living, eternal God, a Spirit Being, entered into humanity by becoming a human Himself. Of this instance of God entering into humanity, Chafer writes, “No human mind can grasp the significance of the occurrence and consequence of the incarnation. That a person of the Godhead should become one of the human family-the sphere of His own creation-with a view to…

The saving significance of Christ 's death relates to the perception of Christ’s person. The Christology of Barth possess an exclusively unique view of Jesus Christ’s status which eventually brings Barth the development of his Christocentric methodology. As a matter of fact, it is in this high Christology that ascribes the reconciling work to the vicarious death of Christ on the cross and, therefore, presents both God’s mercy and righteousness. In the doctrine of reconciliation in which Barth…

became flesh.” This is in regard to the incarnation of Jesus and God. In Jewish thought, the logos is the law, because that is what connects humans to God. Overall, the logos is incomprehensible to humans because it is the notion and intelligence of god. The logos in the gospel of John is so important, because it shows us how Christianity came about and what sets Christianity apart from other Abrahamic religions. By saying that the logos is the idea of incarnation, and also the pre-existing…

Devi- The re-incarnation. In the late nineteenth century, Provatkumar Mukhopadhyay had written a short story based on a 16 year old girl who was considered as an incarnation of Devi (Goddess) by her religious father-in-law. The short story first published in the year 1899 appealed to Satyajit Ray which he thought could be made into a film with interesting character interconnections and the idea of a period film highly intrigued him. Umaprasad’s father Kalikinkar (Chhabi Biswas) was an ardent…

races Moorcock developed the idea of a confused paradoxical being struggling to find balance in an unordered world. In this regard, he made the Eternal Champion character, who is the lead protagonist in most of his multiverse works. The different incarnations of the Eternal Champion appear in several of his series of novels that include Jerry Cornelius, The Dancers, Gloriana, Hawkmoon, Corum, and the most popular Elric. The first novel published in the series was the 1970 published titular…

man's destiny is resolved by his deeds. These deeds in Hinduism are called 'Karma'. A spirit who does great Karma in this life will be granted with a superior life in the following incarnation. Souls who do terrible Karma will be rebuffed for their wrongdoings, if not in this incarnation then in the following incarnation and will keep on being conceived in this world over and over. The great souls will be freed from the hover of resurrection and get recovery which is called 'Moksha' which means…

people; we must live among them and feel the pulse of their lives, the beat of their hearts (Borgman, 1997:30). Borgman interprets the great commission as the sending of workers into ‘the cultures of the world’ (1998:15; 1997:31) as translations or incarnations of Christ (32) . In the vein of Leslie Newbigin (1989), local mission requires the gospel to be translated contextually into culture in the same way it has been in international mission (Kandiah, 2010:44). Borgman has a strong emphasis…

cross for the sins of all, and rising from the dead three days later. But Jesus was not an ordinary man, He was the Incarnation of God in human form. Meaning, He was not just any good person then died too save us from our sins. “…and became human; He suffered and rose on the third day, He ascended into the heavens…” – Nicene Creed To start off you can’t just look at the Incarnation of God, but you have to look at the Trinity too. The Christian religion’s God is a Triune God, Three persons, in…
