But is God the Incarnate wholly God-nature, or is he partly God-nature and partly man-nature?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Short answer: yes

Long answer: one way I think of it in terms of classifying tags. We have the 'human' tag and the 'sinner' tag. Jesus has the 'human' tag and the 'God' tag. He didn't have less of the 'human' tag than we do, same with the 'God' tag than the other parts of the whole of God.

Again, more oversimplifications, because this shit is weird.

Well, Jesus did get the 'sinner' tag towards the end, even though he never sinned.

I'm talking about natures rather than labels though. Or does God only have the definitions humans ascribe to him?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

So was I. The whole tags bit is a metaphor.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Yes. Jesus is fully the essence of god, and he is fully the role of God the incarnate here on earth.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

So does that mean Jesus wasn't human?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

It means that he's fully human but also fully God.

He lived, breathed, taught, and died as a man, and just as much, lived, breathed, taught, and ascended as god made into mortal flesh.

It's a bit more of that one actor many roles idea I've stated already, he's 100% Jesus the man, and he's also 100% the mortal face of God. It's like how you are 100% your father's child at the same time as you are 100% your mother's child, you don't stop being one or the other or shift between them as you deem needed or fit, you just are both, and in the same way, Jesus just is both.
