“The anhypostasia, impersonality, or, to speak more accurately, the enhypostasia, of the human nature of Christ. This is a difficult point, but a necessary link in the orthodox doctrine of the one God-Man; for otherwise we must have two persons in Christ, and, after the incarnation, a fourth...

It’s not a wordplay. It’s the teaching of historical orthodox trinitarianism. It’s standard Catholic teaching and Protestant teaching, but seldom heard from the pulpit or in the Sunday School classroom.

“There is only one person who is Christ, and that person is divine. Thus, there is no human person named ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’” (William Lane Craig, “Is Worship of Jesus Idolatry?”) https://www.reasonablefaith.org/writings/question-answer/is-worship-of-jesus-idolatry/ Dr. Craig is a...

I also quote Protestants. That isn’t going to convince you either. So do I.

Is Jesus a human person? Historical orthodox trinitarianism says that he isn’t. Jewish monotheism says that he is.

I think you’re confusing what you don’t want with what the administration of the Board doesn’t want. I’m registered “Other Faith” and posting in compliance with the new rules. What the administration here doesn’t want is members who are registered “Christian” to speak against historical orthodox...

“Jesus is not a human person” isn’t merely a teaching of the Catholic Church. It is the teaching of historical orthodox trinitarianism which all mainline Protestant denominations have inherited. That is why we find it taught by both Catholic and Protestant theologians. Jesus is God and man but...

Catholics affirm historical orthodox trinitarianism. You are correct that anyone who searches for it will get a bunch of Catholic websites. I appreciate that. I’m often falsely accused of lying about it by people who aren’t knowledgeable of the subject. What you neglected to say is that persons...

“Jesus is not a human person” is different from his humanity in trinitarian theology. I don’t doubt that you understand that but many - probably most - of your readers will not. Anecdotally, about 80 percent of trinitarians don’t know it. That has been my personal experience and the personal...

“Jesus is a human person” is not possible in historical orthodox trinitarianism. It’s easy to find and quote trinitarian apologists - Catholic and Protestant alike - explaining why. I invite trinitarian apologists to do so in this thread. (I’ve done it already in other threads. My favorite -...

Is Jesus of Nazareth a human person? Historical orthodox trinitarianism asserts and affirms that he wasn’t, isn’t and never will be a human person. All anyone has to do who doubts that is to search the Internet with the search terms “Jesus is not a human person”. Trinitarians should be hearing...

“It matters greatly that Jesus himself proclaims this traditional, orthodox faith; it matters that he quotes Deuteronomy 6:4-5, the text-of-texts in regard to Israel’s God. … the Gospels explicitly declare that Jesus himself expressed traditional belief in Israel’s God, when challenged both by...

“The Bible is not only good but better than the best of treasure.” - C.H. Spurgeon What would you do with “the best of treasure” if you found it buried in a field? Before we spend too much time entertaining that thought, remember that we have access to better that. It won’t profit us if we...

This, imo, is the way to respond to the historical approach of the OP and orthodoxy. Jesus of Nazareth himself is a strict monotheist. The Shema (see again Dr. Brown’s concession about the transition which occurred away from the personal theology of Israel affirmed by Jesus to the tri-personal...

“God’s thoughts of you are many, let not yours be few in return.” - C.H. Spurgeon

“God has condescended to become an author, and yet people will not read his writings. There are very few that ever gave this Book of God, the grand charter of salvation, one fair reading through.” - George Whitefield For the readers of mine who haven’t read the Bible through, why haven’t you...
