Comment on The mortal God: Would Jesus have died anyway? Was Jesus mortal? by Glenn

OK, so for clarity, the claim is something like this:

Some theologians maintain that, according to the orthodox creeds, Jesus was “man” in one obvious sense, but in another sense he was more – something other than a man.

I think when stated that way it sounds less ridiculous, and actually it starts to sound a lot like what Scripture has to say.

Thanks, good point. I should say that this is the confessed (by the theologians) result of the creedal statements. I am sure you are aware of this official teaching which results from the Nicene and Chalcedonian decisions. You are right, these are not part of the pronunced and recited creeds, but in the systematic theologies they are taught as the inevitable implications of the creeds. The clergy learn them and Nestorianism, ie Jesus was two persons, was rejected as heresy. Thus it was necessary to believe that Jesus was “man and not a man.” I think that intelligent Scripture reading would suggest that the creeds on this point had departed from the NT!

Anthony, in both of your recent comments you have used quotation marks around the phrase “man but not a man.” In your last comment you have clarified that this quote comes from “The classical creeds to which Churchgoers subscribe.”

For the sake of transparency (and I daresay, honesty), can you please let me (and readers) know which creed you’re quoting? I haven’t come across any creed that says this. I haven’t read Leslie Simmonds or “Bevan,” but I don’t think anyone by that name had a hand in writing the creeds.

Thanks.
