Abstract

Accordingly we teach the enhypostasia of the human nature of Christ, i. e., the taking part of the human nature in the personality of the divine nature. This we find to be the teaching of Scripture. It teaches: "The Word was made flesh," John 1, 14. God become man not by the conversion of God into a man, but by the Second Person of the Trinity adding a human nature to His divine person.
