    Absolutely fantastic explanation of the Incarnation. Thank you.
    I am an Evangelical Protestant pastor who has been studying Aquinas for about 15 years. In fact, I belong to a Zoom Aquinas study group made up of people from around the U.S. My wife and I are the only Protestants.
    I serve at a mega-church and I have been able to convince the pastoral staff to allow me to create a theological course of study on Classic Theism. I have become concerned about the lack of theological grounding in orthodox doctrine amongst recently trained pastors. I may use this video during our session on the Incarnation.

    To me the best way to illustrate what this brother is saying is to recall the scene where Jesus walked on water... He did not fly, he *walked*.

    Let’s look at the following question about the humanity of Christ:
    Let us suppose that Christ had not died on the Cross. What would happen to Christ over time? Got old? Did he die??
    If his nature, as theologians say, is 100% divine and 100% human, he would grow old and die like any man, wouldn't he?
    But how can the second person of the Trinity die of “natural causes”? How can God live (in his body) with the corruption of the flesh?
    We fall into this paradox because we assume that Christ is 100% divine and 100% human.
    Either Christ is not 100% human and would not die or, He is 100% human and would have to die like any human!
    How do we avoid the paradox of a dying Christ?

    Is it not inconsistent to say that God has a nature since a nature would constrain Gods fredom to act freely ?

      @@aaziis The proper statement is that in Christ there is one person with two natures. This is the Catholic doctrine. Further, in the hypostatic union it is the divine Logos (i.e. the Son) that assumes a human nature at the conception in the Virgin Mary's womb. His human nature is full and is both body and soul. His human flesh is from the Virgin Mary. She was not just an empty vessel through which the Holy Spirit brought forth the Incarnation.

    Theological reasoning. Do you believe in the resurrection of jesus .l dont think your church does, because you pray to saints and Mary. Revelation chapters 1v18& 3 v 7.the 2 key's belongs to whom. Your church has usurped the keys to your pope's.

      Christ is a male individual of the human race. The Trinity, however, is not masculine or feminine: purely spiritual beings such as God and angels, do not have a gender. Men and women each manifest some aspects of the Trinity more clearly, but neither encompasses its perfection. The Trinity's most profound traits are shown most clearly in saints, whether they be men or women or angels.

      @@butterflybeatles You are taking "Son" and "Father" as they are said of humans and applying them to God. In fact, "Father" and "Son" is not to be understood of God as we think of human fathers and sons, but, quite the contrary, "father" and "son" as applied to human beings are said analogically, after "Father" and "Son" in God. How can that which is infinitely above humans, which is infinite, which is itself the cause of all being, be classified in terms of "male" and "female"? That's blasphemy! God is sometimes referred as though He were a man, but this is an anthromorphism. Yet, God is also depicted as a Mother in Isaiah and Hosea, by way of analogy. In other words: "Father and Son" are not predicated in the same way of God and men. In the case of God it refers to something, and in the case of man to something else.
