Subject: Jesus know all things why marvelled? |
Bible Note: Lionstrong, I am sure you did not mean to make a technical theological statment when you said "Jesus is a real human person." I don't knoa if this will add to the discussion but for what it is worth.. Theologically Jesus is a Divine Person (Second Person of the Trinity), with a divine nature who became man and took on a human nature. One Divine Person, two natures, divine and human. This doctrine was proclaimed at Council of Ephesus (432 A.D.)in response to the Nestorian heresy. "The dogma asserts there is in Christ a Person, who is the Divine Person of the Logos, and two natures, which belong to the One Divine Person. The human nature is assumed into the unity and dominion of the One Divine person, so that the Divine Person operates in the human nature and through the human nature, as its organ." "The Council of Calcedon (451 A.D.) declared that the two natures of Christ are joined "in one Person and one Hypostatsis"". This is also called the hypostaic union. "In the Hypostatic Union each of the two natures of christ continues unimpaired, untransformed and unmixed with the other." Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma, Ludwig Ott TAN Books 1974 This is the standard orthodox Christian position held by both Catholics and Protestants.It gets pretty technical as it was worked out in response to various heresies that went from one extreme to the other.
