- We mean, when we say that Jesus is God, that Jesus has a divine nature—but He also has a human nature. Obviously, His human nature is not part of His deity; it’s a manifestation of His humanity.

Dec 22, 2023 · Jesus was born as a human being while still being totally divine. The concept of the humanity of Jesus co-existing with His deity is difficult for the finite mind of man to comprehend. Nevertheless, Jesus’ nature—wholly man and wholly God—is a biblical fact.

Dec 9, 2013 · The Monophysites claimed that Jesus did not have two natures, a divine nature and a human nature, but only one nature. That one nature was neither completely divine nor completely human. It was, depending on how one looked at it, a deified human nature or a humanized divine nature.
Jul 24, 2023 · Answer. At the core of Christology lies the doctrine that Jesus was not merely a human being, but that He was also fully God. This concept, known as the hypostatic union, reveals the dual nature of Jesus, who transcends the ordinary boundaries of human existence.

The doctrines of the Trinity and the Incarnation are not revealed in the Old Testament with the same kind of clarity that they are in the New Testament. The revelation of the God-man in the Old Testament comes through types and shadows, not always explicit, straightforward teaching. As Presbyterian theologian B. B. Warfield put it, the Old Testamen...
In the perspective of the New Testament, both strands of this prophetic hope—the return of the Lord himself and the coming of Messiah—are woven together in a single person.3In a variety of ways, the New Testament presents Jesus as one with the God of Israel: he possesses the attributes of God; he performs the actions of God; he bears the names of G...
To sum up, the Old Testament anticipates that the redeemer of fallen humanity would be one who is both God and man. The New Testament plainly teaches that Jesus Christ is this divine-human redeemer. His humanity is apparent throughout the “whole course” of his obedience. His conception, birth, development, limitations, suffering, death, burial, res...
- Jesus is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity, who has eternally shared the one, undivided divine nature with the Father and Spirit and is thus fully God.
- Jesus is God the Son incarnate. The word “incarnation” comes from the Latin (in + carnes [flesh]), which means “in the flesh.” Scripture teaches that the divine Son (person), who eternally shares the divine nature with the Father and Spirit, acted to assume a human nature without a human “person/subject” (contra Nestorianism that affirmed two “persons” in Christ).
- The human nature assumed by the divine Son was unfallen and sinless. Christ’s human body and soul had all the capacities of original humanity thus enabling the Son to be human and to live and experience a fully human life, against Docetism (Christ only appeared to be human) and Apollinarianism (Christ only assumed an incomplete human nature).
- As a result of the incarnation, the divine Son now subsists and acts in two natures without changing the integrity of either nature, confusing them, or making them a hybrid of divine and human.
Jul 24, 2023 · The hypostatic union is the term used to describe how God the Son, Jesus Christ, took on a human nature, yet remained fully God at the same time. Jesus always had been God (John 8:58, 10:30), but at the incarnation Jesus became a human being (John 1:14).
