THEOLOGY OF PAUL M.M.NINAN ___________________________________________________________ Any resolution should take into consideration this ever present factor if the created being has to have the status of the Son. This process of going back to the position of Sonship is a long process which we will discuss in the section of the theory of ages. It all starts with the family – husband and wife- where the image still remains embedded as a union – a way back from individualism. It then goes on to the marriage of the Church and Christ until all creation is renewed. The redemption of man and participation of mankind on the divinity is known in the Eastern Churches as Theosis 48
THEOLOGY OF PAUL M.M.NINAN ___________________________________________________________ THEOLOGY OF PAUL CHAPTER THREE Incarnation is the central doctrine of Christian faith which states that Jesus was indeed God and he took on the form of man having been born as a baby from Mary a human. Jesus of Nazareth is the embodiment of a deity in human form. Thus Jesus is God and Man – generated by God through the Spirit of God and Man having taken flesh from the woman of Adamic origin. “The Incarnation was that act of grace whereby Christ took our human nature into union with his Divine Person, became man. Christ is both God and man. Human attributes and actions are predicated of him, and he of whom they are predicated is God. A Divine Person was united to a human nature (Acts 20:28; Rom. 8:32; 1 Cor. 2:8; Heb. 2:11-14; 1 Tim. 3:16; Gal. 4:4, etc.). The union is hypostatical, i.e., is personal; the two natures are not mixed or confounded, and it is perpetual.” (Easton Illustrated Dictionary) How can a being be both God and Man? If God and Man are different in essence and totally other how can we reconcile these together? The This concept being a difficult one went through a long period controversy between theologians in Ecumenical Councils and still goes on. The ecumenical councils were trying to make logical sense of the mystery of incarnation. It indicates a process of restricting The word "Kenosis" is derived from the Greek word "kenoo" which means "to empty." Joh 1:1-4 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. 49
