Jesus: Filled by God or God Himself?


VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:

One of the earliest debates in the Christian Church had to do with the deity of Jesus Christ, and this was a major issue for the Church, and one question that was brought up is the idea of, is Christ a human being who was simply filled by God, or is Jesus Christ fully God? And we would say that that first position was, rightly, decided to be a heretical position. Jesus Christ was not merely a human being who was filled by God. Jesus is fully man and fully God, in a way that we can't fully understand. Some theologians call that the hypostatic union of Christ, that he is fully man, fully God, but we would never say that God came into a human being. It's God came as a human being, and therefore Jesus Christ, as God, is fully worthy of our worship.

Jesús: ¿lleno de Dios o de Dios mismo?


TRANSCRIPCIÓN DE VIDEO:
Uno de los debates más antiguos en la iglesia cristiana tenía que ver con la deidad de Jesucristo, era un problema grande para la Iglesia. Una pregunta que surgía era la idea de ¿es Cristo un ser humano que fue llenado por Dios o es Jesús Cristo completamente Dios? Y diríamos que la primera posición, correctamente, considerada una posición herética. Jesucristo no era solamente un ser humano que fue llenado por Dios. Jesús es completamente humano y completamente Dios, de una forma que no podemos entender completamente. Algunos teólogos lo llaman "la unión hipostática de Cristo, que es plenamente hombre, plenamente Dios, pero jamás diríamos que Dios entró en un ser humano. Es Dios quien vino como ser humano y, por lo tanto, Jesús Cristo, como Dios, es completamente digno de nuestra veneración.
