    Communication of Properties in Christ

    How is it said that God purchased the Church with his blood (Acts 20:28), when God does not have blood? The answer is that it was Christ who bled, who is both God and man. The attribution of the properties of one of Christ’s natures to the other (such as in Acts 20:28) is called the doctrine...

    Resources on the Assumption

    It is sometimes argued that the Incarnation of Christ contradicts the unchangeability of God, for if a divine Person became a man in time, then some change must have occured in the divine Person. Traditional Christianity, however, has held that God, by definition, is able to act on others...

    Communion with Christ's Human Nature During the Supper?

    I've been re-reading Bavinck on the Supper, and, I understand that the Reformed position is that we commune with Christ's human and divine nature in the supper on the basis that you cannot commune with one nature because of the unity of Christ's person; but I am having a hard time understanding...

    Jesus' Limited Human Nature and Infinite Divine Wrath and Suffering

    I have a question that I’m not sure if there’s an answer to. Since Jesus’ passive obedience was performed in his human nature, how could he have endured infinite wrath if his human nature is finite? I understand Jesus had infinite value as a person, but my question is how he could have suffered...

    How would you respond to this argument about Jesus' human ignorance?

    So, I was just thinking about Luke 2:52, "And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man", which of course means he did so in his human nature with his human mind, not with his divine nature. But I was also thinking about some liberal theologians that I had seen argue...

    Grounds of Christ Receiving Divine Worship

    We are to only worship God, and yet Jesus, a man, was worshipped in his earthly ministry. How is this so? The answer is that we worship Jesus, the God-man Mediator, not insofar as He is a creature, but insofar as his Person is God. This precious jewel of theology is argued by the reformed...
