About this listen

This one gets in the weeds! But stick with it. As we dive into these final ancient heresies, you'll discover why Christians have been arguing about this stuff literally for centuries! Today's heresies have to do with the two distinct natures of Christ. He is fully human, yet fully divine. How do those 2 natures fit together in one person? How do they interact with the physical world and the heavenly realm at the same time? The theological hubs at Alexandria and Antioch would like a word! Nestorius said they are two distinct entities, and as such, Jesus becomes a hybrid being. The human part of Jesus was born, suffered, and died. The God part did none of those things! Eutyches said the 2 natures of Jesus melded into one nature. The human was indistinguishable from the divine. Jesus then becomes a superhuman! The Chalcedon Council solved all that in a series of brilliant theological moves. Join us as we take this long and winding road, untangling all the way!
