See, in Islam we have a much simpler explanation. God is God, Jesus is Jesus, and by the grace of God does Jesus pull off all the miracles. Everything in that picture seems needlessly complicated

I'm pretty sure well over 90% of christians agree it's needlessly complicated and mostly irrelevant. That said, Islam has it's complex theology and competing doctrines too.

The tail direction breaks the parallelism 8|. I was excited to do all this learning until my immersion was shattered...

Puts me in the mind of coffee. Would you like your Jesus with Whole Milk, Half and Half, or Skim?

Monophysitism teaches that Christ only one "form", the divine form, not that the human form and divine form are the same, as the picture suggests to me.

I'm not sure I fully get how the Chalcedon consensus distinguishes itself from Monophysitism and Nestorianism at the same time. The way I see it, Nestorianism states that God the Son (the divine) is not Jesus (the human) per se but rather that The Son... took up residence in Jesus, I guess. Ephesus and Chalcedon stated that, no, Jesus Christ is God the Son, and the human and divine are united. Fair enough. But the human and divine have to be different natures, because the Monophysite idea of one nature was rejected by Chalcedon. So you have to have two distinct natures, but they also have to be united in one being. But if you say "two natures, one being", then what does that even mean? How can two natures be different, but not separate? If you unite two natures why wouldn't it become a single nature, ipso facto?

I'll talk to James about it, but when I did the check on this image, I found that Christ as a synthesis of human and divine (but with one nature, not the shared nature espoused by the Chalcedonians) was a monophysite belief. If I'm wrong, let me know!

I wish I could untangle that for you, but I'm just barely hanging on to the theological debates in this series myself. Every time I think "Oh, I got this!" I'll read something new and be like, "Oh, I don't got this." :( -Soraya

Hi, I understand that this is the best way to get in contact with you guys. I've just seen a video on a channel called Lindybeige, In Search of Hannibal, they're not very big (compared to you) and their Kickstarter is for a graphic novel about the second Punic War, a historically accurate one.

Oops enter sets one up sorry, I coming from this as an A level student (going to uni next year hopefully) who loves history but has very little money to give (this 1.20 is pushing it) and I want history to spread and I think this graphic novel will help that. I'm just asking if you guys can give them some publicity I want this to be a supreme success because I want history to be popular again. So if you can mention it I'd appreciate it, the youtube video is here <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbDXYf51RZw." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbDXYf51RZw.</a> Thanks for the amazing content please help these guys. I want to do the most good and I think by bringing it up with you I can. Thanks for reading this (well these two comments) love you content.

Someone sent me the link for that Kickstarter earlier today! I think it looks amazing, but we have a general policy against promoting Kickstarters (for a variety of reasons). Although we bend the rule sometimes, this particular Kickstarter has already met and in fact doubled its goal, so it's already well on the way towards success. And I hope it is fabulously successful, because speaking for myself alone, I think it looks great!
