1 IN N I T E G The I r in St. Joh s Bi
2 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 came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father s only son, full of grace and truth. -Joh 1:1-5, 10-14

9 What about Mary? Known as Theotokos or Mother of God Nestorianism The The God T an J ep : s Nestorius suggested Christotokos or Mother of Christ Didn t accept that the Logos could be sullied by human nature, and concluded that the Son of God must be two persons. Heavily criticized for being too much like Adoptionism. Directly led to Eutychianism, which was a reactionary movement against Nestorius.
10 Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation; that he also believe faithfully the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess; that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man. St. At a s u Sol o : God hu na ed God, of the Substance [Essence] of the Father; begotten before the worlds; and Man, of the Substance [Essence] of his Mother, born in the world. Perfect God; and perfect Man, of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting. Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead; and inferior to the Father as touching his Manhood. Who although he is God and Man; yet he is not two, but one Christ. For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man; so God and Man is one Christ; Who suffered for our salvation; descended into hell; rose again the third day from the dead.
11 Remaining what He was, He assumed what He was not. -St. Gre y Na n e
12 Why does it Matter? Sal on If Jesus was not both fully God and fully Human, We cannot be sure that we are Saved.
13 Remember! One Person, Two Natures And you will be guarded from Heresy!
