| Summary: | Can it be theologically acceptable to say that Christ was not born of a woman, did not grow, did not increase in wisdom, did not eat or drink, did not hunger or thirst, did not suffer pain or exhaustion, did not die, and was not raised from the dead? This essay explores three possible answers to this question, two from a dyophysite point of view and the other from a Socinian viewpoint. It argues that either such speech is theologically acceptable because it is true of him in his divine nature, or else it is unacceptable because it is false in his one-and-only human nature. However, one cannot say it is true but objectionable because misleading without also calling into question the New Testament's way of speaking about Christ. |
