| | The Trinity, the Hypostatic Union, and the Communicatio Idiomatum |
 | | The doctrine of the Hypostatic Union teaches that the divine nature of the Word did not change as it became united, in the one person of Christ, with the human nature. | | | The Hypostatic Union is the teaching that the Word of God became flesh and we call Him Jesus. | | | Again, the Hypostatic Union states that in the one person of Jesus, there are two distinct natures: divine and human. |

| | Mersch: The Perfecting of Christ's Human Nature |
| | The union we are speaking of is a certain relation that is perceived to exist between the divine nature and the human nature, according as they are conjoined in the one person of the Son of God. | | | It is a perfection that cannot exist or endure except in and through the union, and that expresses and actualizes the union in the nature receiving it, or rather actualizes according to the union, in the union, and through the union the nature which subsists only in the union. | | | The relation brought about by the union is real only in the assumed human nature, and its foundation is the manner of existing and subsisting conferred on this human nature, causing it to be wholly referred to God; and this reference can be expressed in the human nature only in accord with its capacity. |

| | Union with Christ |
| | This ecclesial union, ecclesiastical union, or church union is usually closely aligned with the sacramental union that Christians are said to have with Christ as the church administers the sacraments that are alleged to establish baptismal union and eucharistic union with Christ. | | | Collective union with Christ in the Body of Christ, the Church, is eschewed by the individualistic spiritualists. | | | The relational union of the marital union between husband and wife is the analogous pattern for the spiritual union between Christ and Christians. |

| | What is the hypostatic union? |
| | Answer: The hypostatic union is the term used to described how God the Son, Jesus Christ took on a human nature, yet remained fully God at the same time. | | | The doctrine of the hypostatic union is an attempt to explain how Jesus could be both God and man at the same time. | | | In summary, the hypostatic union teaches that Jesus is both fully human and fully divine, that there is no mixture or dilution of either nature, and that He is one united Person. |

| | The popularity of this devotion among all faithful Catholics is in fact a sign of their unfailing adherence to the traditional faith of the Church in the unity of the divine Person of Christ. | | | Nevertheless, in spite of the exuberant terms in which Theodore extols the union of Christ with God, it remains that Christ and God are two different persons; God was in Christ, but Christ was not God. | | | In the Catholic conception of the hypostatic union Christ has two consciousnesses, a human consciousness which is a property of his humanity, and a divine consciousness which is identical with his divinity. |

This teaching of the Church, that Jesus Christ has two natures, human and Divine, complete and undiminished, is central to the whole teachings of the Gospel. | | | The teaching of the Hypostatic Union was used as a test for heretical teachings by the Apostles. | | | I am going on at length about this because I believe the Hypostatic Union is the over-arching theme of the New Testament. |

| | The union of humanity and Divinity tends to be overshadowed by the Divinity at the cost of the humanity. | | | His being Christos can be said to be constituted by two elements: 1) the hypostatic union of the natures and its resultant communicatio idiomatum, 2) the descending and remaining of the Holy Spirit upon the humanity as an iconic representation of the Eternal reposing of the Holy Spirit on the Eternal Son. | | | But due to its hypostatic union to the Hypostasis of the Second Person of the Trinity, it cannot be said that His humanity was without the Holy Spirit and it cannot be said therefore that He was at some point in time not Christos at all. |

| | In the same way, to press the hypostatic union into a "classical" description of what is divine and what is human leads to the same logical absurdities that arise when trying to reconcile waves and particles. | | | There is no flexibility in the hypostatic union to account for Christ's resurrection in purely human terms, nor is there any possibility of explaining physical phenomena by purely wave or purely particle phenomena. | | | An effective analogy to the hypostatic union should be capable of discriminating against other forms of the doctrine. |

| | The principle that is foremost, most important for us to understand, in the hypostatic union is that of the exclusive natures of Christ, refering to the function of both man and God in their individual roles, each unimpaired by the other. | | | This important distinction must accompany the body of truth involved in the Hypostatic Union, for had the presence of God impaired the volition and natural development of Jesus, in mentality or otherwise, the exercise would have been pointless. | | | The Hypostatic Union divides the two greatest (as far as we know) dispensations, The Jewish Age and The Church Age. |

According to this position, Jesus’ deity remains undiminished. |

| | When pastors begin to think out the practical significance of the Trinity and Hypostatic Union particularly with reference to preaching, I believe their preaching will become much more gospel-centered regardless of the text. | | | I’ve spent most of my life failing to see their profound relevance for “life under the sun.” So I began to wonder, “What might account for this widespread failure to recognize the deeply practical significance of the Trinity and Hypostatic Union?” Consider Ralph Smith’s thoughts about the lack of Trinitarian thought in the church. | | | I think this widespread failure really comes down to the fact that pastors themselves have failed to think out the practical importance of these two great doctrines particularly as it relates to interpretation and preaching. |

| | In Christian theology, the two natures of Jesus, also known as the hypostatic union, refers to the dual natures of Jesus Christ: simultaneously God and man. The doctrine of hypostatic union maintains that the one person Jesus Christ has two natures -- divine and human. | | | The contrasting view maintains that the one person Jesus Christ can have only one nature (called monophysitism or Eutychianism), although there are variations in understanding that one nature. | | | The distinction in fact was brought about gradually in the course of the controversies to which the Christological heresies gave rise, and was definitively established by the Council of Chalcedon (451), which declared that in Christ the two natures, each retaining its own properties, are united in one subsistence and one person... |
