christ's human nature

For as it cannot be denied that "the Word became flesh and dwelt in us," so it cannot be denied that "God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself." But what reconciliation can there be, whereby God might be propitiated for the human race, unless the mediator between God and man took up...

This thread is split from the thread "Where are the Trinitarian and Christological Boundaries", and with a similar idea in mind as "How to View the Christian East Between 780-2025". I have been exposed to two differing accounts of the Chalcedonian Controversy. The first - claims that the whole...

I am still only about half-way through the book I am currently reading, but I am already thinking about what to read next. I think the next topic after the current one I am reading on covenant theology will probably be Christology. As in the person and work of Christ. What are your'e suggestions...

The late-seventeenth century reformed Dutch theologian Peter van Mastricht wrote Theoretical-Practical Theology (RHB). It is in my opinion the best systematic theology existent in English. Volume 4 is out, on Christ’s Person, filled with wonderful material. Three topics in the volume...

How is it said that God purchased the Church with his blood (Acts 20:28), when God does not have blood? The answer is that it was Christ who bled, who is both God and man. The attribution of the properties of one of Christ’s natures to the other (such as in Acts 20:28) is called the doctrine...

It is sometimes argued that the Incarnation of Christ contradicts the unchangeability of God, for if a divine Person became a man in time, then some change must have occured in the divine Person. Traditional Christianity, however, has held that God, by definition, is able to act on others...

I've been re-reading Bavinck on the Supper, and, I understand that the Reformed position is that we commune with Christ's human and divine nature in the supper on the basis that you cannot commune with one nature because of the unity of Christ's person; but I am having a hard time understanding...

I get that when we pray to Jesus, we're praying to Jesus as a person, but at the same time I realize that when Jesus was on Earth, He probably didn't know if people were praying to Him, and since he's forever human, I don't see why this would change now that He's been glorified. Like for...

I have a question that I’m not sure if there’s an answer to. Since Jesus’ passive obedience was performed in his human nature, how could he have endured infinite wrath if his human nature is finite? I understand Jesus had infinite value as a person, but my question is how he could have suffered...

So, I was just thinking about Luke 2:52, "And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man", which of course means he did so in his human nature with his human mind, not with his divine nature. But I was also thinking about some liberal theologians that I had seen argue...

We are to only worship God, and yet Jesus, a man, was worshipped in his earthly ministry. How is this so? The answer is that we worship Jesus, the God-man Mediator, not insofar as He is a creature, but insofar as his Person is God. This precious jewel of theology is argued by the reformed...
