Bible Question: What is Docetism? Describe? |
Bible Answer: Docetism. The word comes from a Greek verb, “to seem.” Some bright theologian has suggested we call it Seemism. The title comes from their teaching that Christ was not really a man, he was a spectral appearance. He only “seemed” to suffer for mans sins since we all know divine phantoms are incapable of dying. The Event—God in flesh—has always struck man as religious nonsense. History shows how tirelessly man schemes, searching for some substitute explanation. One of his most popular devices is to lift the story out of time and present it as an “eternal” truth, some mystery of the universe, a myth that explains the way things really are. Shelley, B. L. (1995). Church history in plain language (Updated 2nd ed.). Dallas, Tex.: Word Pub. |
