Episode notes
INSIGHT

The Humanity of Christ

  • Jesus, being both fully God and fully man, possesses a human soul, intellect, will, and body.
  • This human nature was assumed, not absorbed, by his divinity, meaning it remains distinct yet united with his divine nature.
INSIGHT

Christ's Human Knowledge

  • Christ's human soul includes a human intellect and will, meaning he learned and grew in knowledge like any other human.
  • This human knowledge, however, was united with his divine nature, allowing him to express the divine life through his human experience.
INSIGHT

Christ's True Human Soul

  • The Church affirms that Jesus had a true human soul and intellect, rejecting the heresy that his divinity replaced these.
  • This affirms the completeness of Christ's humanity and his redemption of every aspect of human life.
