I quote from the Internet whenever possible because it’s easy to provide links for people to follow and read it for themselves. I also quote from trinitarian books which don’t have internet links but I’ve found that most people don’t have the books and have little to no interest in obtaining...

“The perfect human is not a human person; the perfect human has no specific human self. ” (Henry Karlson, “God Became Man Without a Human Self (Hypostasis)”) God Became Man Without a Human Self (Hypostasis)

“This is why theologians say that Christ is not a human person …” Anhypostasis, Enhypostasis, and Bears… Oh My

“For, Jesus is not a human person; he is a divine Person who has taken himself a human nature.” (Fr. Kenneth Baker, quoted by Deacon Steven D. Greydanus, “Is Jesus a Human Person?”, National Catholic Register) Is Jesus a Human Person? Bold is mine.

“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...

“There is only one person who is Christ, and that person is divine. Thus, there is no human person named ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’ Jesus is a divine person, and medieval theologians were careful never to refer to Jesus as a human person.” (William Lane Craig, “Is Worship of Jesus Idolatry?) Is...

Thanks. Have you ever Googled “Jesus is not a human person”?

“I am sending you out like sheep surrounded by wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.” (Matthew 10:16, NET)

An old man, a young man and a bird. Anyone?

Finished reading The Shows but will be taking Tertullian with me to the show this evening. (Tertullian would definitely not be happy about that.) Starting his An Answer To The Jews.

You say that “upon becoming incarnate he was human.” The non-philosophically trained tend to hear this as “upon becoming incarnate he was a human person” - an understanding which historical orthodox trinitarianism adamantly and unequivocally opposes. In my experience, roughly 8 out of 10...

@RedFan from your perspective, what is the difference - if any - between “a mere man” and “a man”? I don’t think scripture makes a distinction between the two terms. If there is a distinction then it would appear to come from extra-biblical philosophy.

I got through High School without watching the show or reading the book. College quickly broke me of that poor practice. As it happens, I’m going to a show (baseball, the Louisville Bats) tomorrow evening. That prompted my decision to read this particular work of his over another which I had...

Tertullian has been good reading. I hadn’t intended to focus this much of my attention on him but I’m finding it difficult to step away from him. Having finished The Chaplet, I’m proceeding to The Show.

“But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.” (Matthew 24:13, NABRE)

“Whoever listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me. And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.” (Luke 10:16, NABRE) “The one who listens to you listens to Me; and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and the one who rejects Me rejects rejects Him [My heavenly Father]...

Tertullian said something quite similar to this. “The oftener we are mown down by you, the more in number we grow; the blood of Christians is seed.” (Apology, Chapter 50) CHURCH FATHERS: Apology (Tertullian)
