Episode notes
One Person, Two Natures
- The Chalcedonian Creed asserts Jesus Christ as one person with two distinct natures, divine and human, unconfused and inseparable.
- This explains Jesus' true deity and humanity without merging or dividing his nature or personhood.
Avoiding Christological Heresies
- Eutychianism falsely teaches Christ’s divine and human natures merge into one new nature.
- Nestorianism wrongly divides Christ into two persons; Chalcedon affirms one person with two natures.
Correct Christology With Love
- Always strive to describe Jesus Christ correctly because accurate theology reflects love for Him.
- Correct false views graciously and clearly to uphold sound beliefs about Christ’s person and work.
