Jesus
An angel appeared before a woman named Mary and stated to her that she would give birth to a son. She would name her son Jesus. Mary being a virgin gave birth to a child, conceived by God through his Spirit. Jesus being conceived in a supernatural manner became man and God in one creation. God became incarnate in this child who became known by the name of Jesus (Mathew 1:18-25). Jesus was a Palestinian Jew, born in a town south of Jerusalem, raised in Nazareth in a small village in Galilee. Jesus was not any ordinary child. Jesus was the son of the living God. Not only was He the son of Mary, He was foremost the Son of God. He was incarnated sent to us for the redemption of all mankind. So how do we handle the incarnation of God? Jesus’ humanity and divinity is union in one human body. God is now living in the flesh as Jesus of Nazareth. He is not half God or half man. He is fully divine and fully man. Jesus has two distinct natures (Divine and Human). Jesus was the word and the word was with God and was made flesh (John 1:1–14). This means, Jesus has both a human and a divine nature existing in one body of Jesus is the incarnation of God into man. Nevertheless, due to the loose meaning of the word, it is necessary to define the nature of the incarnation. Jesus was fully God and fully man at the same time. It is necessary that Jesus be all God and complete man in order to be truly incarnate. God being both human and divine, leaves us with a daunting questions concerning Jesus human nature and his divine nature. How did the nature of Jesus operate in one body? I will explain the different theories that attempt to explain the two natures of Jesus existence in one body. The English term incarnate as a noun or an adjective cannot be found in the Bible. According to the English language incarnation simply requires a spiritual or supernatural being to be embodied within a human. However, the concept incarnation is at work in the New

    The questions that are asked and need to be answered in are, what makes Jesus so different, can you keep a good man down and Isn’t there some other way. I recently read where Christians faith in Christ is firmly rooted in history and those of us who put faith in Christ have plenty ground to stand on. What made Jesus different can be summarized in the acts that he was able to perform and given the fact that Jesus was the only one that claimed to be God. His friends both understood and accepted this claim. His enemies however did not accept what he said and that leads us to the question of exactly who is Jesus.…

    The fact that Jesus is God and man is difficult for our human minds to get a grasp on. The combination of his deity and humanity is explained in the doctrine called the Hypostatic Union. The union is described in this way. “ In the incarnation of the Son of God, a human nature was inseparably united forever with the divine nature in the one person of Jesus Christ, yet with the two natures remaining distinct, whole and unchanged, without mixture or confusion, so that the one person , Jesus Christ, is truly God and truly man.”…

    The image of God in man is a topic that has been discussed for centuries. This debate has lasted so long due to the fact that the Bible has very little specifics regarding what the image actually is. In the research proposed, one can begin to form a theology on this topic by looking specifically at what the image is, the major theological views of the image, the implications of the image of God in man, and the humanity of Christ himself. The humanity of Christ however, is an extremely important topic when discovering what true humanity really is, since Christ came incarnate to live as an example for all of humankind.…
