They thus again separate in the Theandric God-man Jesus a human and a Divine person and teach Nestorianism. The error of this thinking lies in the failure to understand the intricacies of Christology and the doctrine of Incarnation. A proper understanding of Jesus Christ. If Mary is not Theotokos, then Christ is not God-man. Likewise, if Christ is God-man, then Mary is Theotokos. Not only did the Orthodox Church defend the True Christian faith but it continues to do so today.

Let us begin with Thomas, who had doubted His Divine nature. However, in John, 2: We will make only one more reference, to Saint Paul, who states, "God was revealed in the flesh" I Timothy 3: With absolute faith, the Church Fathers preached the Divinity of Christ.

Saint Eirinaeos, emphasizing that his faith was received from the Holy Apostles and their disciples, believes, "in one God, Father Almighty, and in one Christ Jesus, the Son of God, Incarnate for our salvation. And he continues, "If man had not been joined to God i.
The Holy Scriptures speak of the divine nature and divinity of Christ in many places, but we will refer to only a few. To suppose He was not capable of yielding to temptation places Him where He cannot be a perfect example for man, and the force and the power of this part of Christ's humiliation, which is the most eventful, is no instruction or help to human beings. It is impossible to take in the depth and the force of these temptations unless the Lord shall bring man where He can open these scenes before him by a revelation of the matter, and then it can only be but partially comprehended. It were to reduce a splendid fact to an empty fable, a blessed reality to a vague supposition; it were to rob Jesus of the great glory which covered him when left alone, the victor on this battle-field. We accept all of these as Your true Children. Saint Porphyrios Kafsokalyvitis December 7: He had bodily wants to be supplied, bodily weariness to be relieved.

In the Epistle to the Hebrews 2: Saint Paul tells us further that Christ assumed flesh and blood also that by His death as man, He could defeat the Devil, who has the power of death; so that He could destroy death, "by death trampling down death. This scriptural teaching about the human nature of Christ and His condescending to humanity is summarized in the Third Article of the Nicene Creed, which states, "Who for us and our salvation descended from Heaven and became Incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became man.
We must state here in very simple terms that although the Son and Word of God became Perfect Man, He became truly perfect, which means He became man without sin, just as Adam and Eve were originally created as sinless beings. Christ has no connection with sin, which entered man through the intervention of Satan.
One does not absorb the other. The two natures are distinct and separate, united in the same Person, Christ.
He is "dual in nature, but one Person. His human nature united with His Divine nature becomes itself divinized, without, of course, passing beyond its limits or ceasing to be human.
