so Jesus was not human? it’s amazing, that attacks on the Church and the historical, biblical, orthodox Faith always leads to attacks on Jesus Christ Himself.
if Jesus wasn’t human, we are all still dead in our sins and He didn’t really suffer and shed His blood on the Cross.
unbelievable someone that claims to be a Christian could post such heresy.
Not unbelievable that someone who claims to be a Christian would misrepresent what someone else said though, sadly.
Cherry picking passages out an an article to misrepresent what was said is intellectually dishonest and disingenuous.
Here's the entire sentence.
The only thing Jesus got from Mary was a body. Every Human Being has received a sinful nature from their parents with one exception: Jesus was not human. He was divine God in a flesh body. This is what Mary gave birth to.
Jesus is human, the author of the article does not understand the Bible, nor the person of Jesus Christ.
He was divine God in a flesh body. This is what Mary gave birth to.
>>Did Jesus have a human soul?
Wintertime this is a quote from one of your more ardent fans about the Catholic Church that you claim to love so much. Would you care to take a stand and set her straight?
Perhaps you might want to peruse the thread to see some of the anti-Catholic bigotry she also supports.
The whole paragraph also is not true, and not according to the Chalcedonian standards which ALL ORTHODOX (Protestant (including Baptists, Bible, Independents, etc...), Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox...) adhere to.
Clearly this Bible teacher has never had a systematic theology class, or just didn't pay attention--or is just a cultist.
To say Jesus was just an corpse (body) animated by God, and not human is TOTALLY heretical--for then, He could not of died for our sins...as only one fully human could die for us...just as only one (also) fully divine could bear our sin...and rise from the dead. Jesus MUST be fully God, and fully human--two natures in one person...for the cross of salvation to work.
This heresy--that Jesus had only a human body, and no human soul (i.e. not fully human)--has a name...and existed at the time of the Council of Chalcedon (AD 400s): It is called APOLLINARIANISM, and was first condemned at the Council of Constantinople in AD 381.
Did Mary mother God? In a sense...of course...as Jesus was fully divine from the moment of his FULLY HUMAN (miraculous/virgin) conception. That is full blown Christian orthodoxy.
Was Mary somehow the origin of God the Son? No...as God the Son is eternally begotten...beyond all time...from God the Father, and God the Son, like God the Holy Spirit, and God the Father, three persons in One Being--the holy Trinity--has subsisted forever.
Does that make Mary some semi-divine, sinless human being? No. The Bible nowhere says, or even hints at that. As a matter of fact, Mary & Joseph seem to have blundered in leaving Jesus behind when he was 12 (an offense one could be arrested for today...)(Luke 2:41-49). An honest mistake, and not huge sin, but none-the-less...to lose track of protecting and caring for God's Son? Not a good thing.
Jesus stuck with His Father though, in the Temple...and everything turned out very well.
