Everything which the Savior did and still does to save sinful mankind (His official acts) may not be ascribed to either of His natures exclusively, but must be ascribed to both natures conjointly (The Apotelesmaticum Genus).  This study examines the execution of Christ’s work as the promised Prophet for us. When the Scriptures speak of […]

By luther | September 26, 2018 | Comments Off on Theology Summary Bible Class Pt. 18: The Human Nature is Enriched

In this lesson, we see that the divine attributes of Christ were communicated to His human nature so that it was enriched.  This happened at the incarnation.  Jesus is not simply a man who was endowed with super abilities from time to time.  According to Colosssians 2:9, “In Him dwells all the fullness of the […]

By luther | September 17, 2018 | Comments Off on Theology Summary Bible Class Pt. 16: Attributes and States

Theology Summary Bible Study, Part 15: Communication of Attributes

By luther | September 17, 2018 | Comments Off on Theology Summary Bible Study, Part 15: Communication of Attributes

The Christ, our promised Redeemer, has both a divine nature and a human nature united in one person.  This union of two natures in the one Christ is called the personal union.  We must speak in a way so that the difference between the natures is maintained, but we must not divide the personal union […]
