Please kindly receive this topic in a prayerful manner.
Long story short ==> Some claim that it is not possible to know what the word "Person" means in the Creed of Chalcedon, thereby claiming it is not possible to know "who" the "Person" of Christ is!
And many of them misunderstand the True Doctrine of the Impassibility of God (a subset of the True Doctrine of the Immutability of God) claiming strange unbiblical things about the Eternally Begotten Son who is the 2nd Person of the Trinity who is the Logos/Word who came down from Heaven and entered into His Creation who took upon Himself an "impersonal" Human Nature (body & soul including mind, heart, and will) to become con-substantial with "His People" to save them from their sins (Matthew 1:21); who now "Ever Lives" forevermore for the salvation of His sheep making intercession for them forevermore.
Those who misunderstand claim that the 2nd Person of the Trinity did not weep, weary, thirst, hunger, suffer, or die.
This is because they say He could not.
"Who" then Atoned?
"Who" is the "PERSON" of the Mediator?
1) Some agree with R.C. Sproul's teachings that only the "Human Nature" atoned.
2) Some instead agree with others' teachings that the human nature was "personal" in and of itself indwelt by the Logos (a variation of the Ancient "2 Person" Heresy).
3) The Creed of Chalcedon in keeping with Orthodox Christianity teaches the Divine "Person" who is the 2nd Person of the Trinity is the Person of the Mediator and is who atoned for His people.
What does Holy Scripture teach about who is the Great Shepherd?
What does Holy Scripture teach about who is the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world?
Furthermore ==> If the 2nd Person of the Trinity could not weep, weary, thirst, hunger, suffer, or die then LOGIC dictates that He could not experience the "JOY" that was set before Him either (for that is an affection/passion)!
"Who" experienced the "JOY" that was set before Him?
Additionally ==> "Who" is this Jesus Christ who proclaimed in Rev 1:18 that He was DEAD?
Rev 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Finally ==> "Who" purchased the Church with His own blood?
Acts 20:28 "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood."
Prayer ==> May our Lord Jesus Christ cause His people to know "who" He is!
Jesus said in John 17:3 "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
