| | Incarnation by J.I. Packer |
 | | The Incarnation, this mysterious miracle at the heart of historic Christianity, is central in the New Testament witness. | | | The doctrine of the Trinity declares that the man Jesus is truly divine; that of the Incarnation declares that the divine Jesus is truly human. | | | A crucial event for the church& confession of the doctrine of the Incarnation came at the Council of Chalcedon (A.D.451), when the church countered both the Nestorian idea that Jesus was two personalities—the Son of God and a man—under one skin, and the Eutychian idea that Jesus&; divinity had swallowed up his humanity. |

Theologically the term incarnation refers to the act whereby the eternal Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity, the Word (Gk. |

| | God the Father - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | To trinitarian Christians (which for many centuries has represented the vast Christian majority), God the Father is not at all a separate god from the Son (of whom Jesus is the incarnation) and the Holy Spirit, the other members of the Christian Godhead. | | | In two of the three major forms of monotheism, Judaism and Christianity, God is called the Father in part because he is thought to take an active interests in human affairs, in the way that a father would take an interest in his children. | | | Christians call themselves adopted children of God: But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, burn under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. |

| | This would, of course, be heresy in a [Christian] whose faith is a radical and total commitment to the truth of the Incarnation and Redemption as revealed by God and taught by the Church. | | | Christopher shared a Merton quote that is incredibly powerful in its call to 'mere Christianity.' In the article, "Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander," Merton devastates the modernist tendency to deny Jesus Christ as the Son of God, all the while claiming to *believe* in Him: | | | If we come to him as Christians we can certainly understand and have compassion for his unbelief -- his apparent incapacity to believe. |

Apparently the doctrines of the incarnation and the Trinity, key Christian doctrines to say the least, are illogical. | | | As the arrangement of the Westminster Confession of Faith would indicate, apart from the doctrine of Scripture (WCF 1), the most fundamental doctrine of Christianity is that of the Trinity (WCF 2). | | | John Frame, a disciple of Van Til and professor of apologetics at Westminster Theological Seminary, also says that "Scripture...does refer to God as one person" (20). |

| | Quodlibet Online Journal: Thomas Altizer: Christianity in Historical Perspective - by Trevor Greenfield |
| | Despite his development of a dialectical theology and despite his demands for a religionless Christianity, Altizer still holds conservatively to a faith in the Incarnation beyond the representational and this seemingly disallows him the opportunity to develop a fully Hegelian philosophy. | | | In the writing of Nietzsche he finds the Anti-Christ become Christ as the doctrinal and dogmatic forms of religious forms of Christianity is discarded to reveal the true nature of the tradition that demands the 'yes saying 'to life. | | | By contrast, for Altizer, the Christian tradition is witness to a dialectical form of Incarnation where flesh and spirit are not subsumed one by the other but rather exist in a state of mutual transfiguration in such a way that spirit becomes flesh and flesh becomes spirit. |
