In reading Berkhof's Manual of Christian Doctrine he outlines his Christological position.
However, when outlining the Natures of Christ, in Section B(3) he outlines "The effects of the union of the Two Natures in One Person." He then proceeds to state there is a threefold communication:
a) A Communication of Attributes or Properties.
b) A communication of Operations.
c) A communication of Graces.
This puzzles me because I thought reformed theology denied any communication of attributes between the human and the divine. And yes, I do understand that the two natures are united into one person.
I'll quote from 3(a): "This means that, after the incarnation, the properties of both the human and divine natures are the properties of the person and are therefore ascribed to the person. The person can be said to be almighty, omniscient, OMNIPRESENT, and so on..."
I'm interested what those on the board have to say about this.
