God Did NOT Die
#14
Akhay,

Rafa, I agree with your summary.

Dave, I really feel that when you say God "died", you do not believe so literally. You can't really mean that. Not even the Jacobites believe that.

Yes, He took flesh from the Virgin and made it His own. However His flesh, taken from our Humanity, died and was buried. You and I both know that it is not possible to be immortal, yet mortal, at the same time. If God died for 1 second, let alone 3 days, then that is not God but a fake. I cannot imagine a universe which continues to function for one millisecond if its Creator ceased to exist for any length of time.

Surely, you didn't mean that. You really don't believe that God is a mortal, do you?

Likewise, it is not the manhood with which He clothed Himself that forgave sins. It is not possible for man to forgive debts owed to God alone.

The point of the hymn listed further up on this thread, what Mar Narsai wanted to convey was the mystery of this dualness of the personhood of the Messiah. That Messiah is God/Man ..... not God-Man. There's a huge difference between the slash and the dash. The concept of god-men is pagan, the reality of God/Man is scriptural and Orthodox.

You may consider the view of the CoE "narrow", however you and I both know that it is scriptural. You are as dyophysite as I am, we really have no difference of opinion here.

However, if I am wrong and you really do believe in a dying and bleeding God, a God who can be tempted by Satan in the wilderness (a true temptation, not a fake one that Satan had no hope of succeeding)....then, oh well perhaps you are more monophysite in leaning.

Take care!
