10. The Person Of Christ: more Heresies about Jesus
Episode Summary
Jesus being both God and man presents some serious challenges for our brain-cells. Wouldn't it be simpler if Jesus were neither truly man, nor truly God, but some single, other thing?
If you think that, then you are a Monophysite! While we may never fully understand how Jesus can be both God and man, the best way to account for what we read in Scripture is to affirm that Jesus has two natures (human and divine) but is one person.
God is mysterious, but that doesn't give us permission to over-simplify him just so we can understand him!
