Study Notes
Christ’s Nature and Mary’s Title
- Christ embodies two distinct natures: one divine and another human, both preserved post-union.
- Mary is referred to as Christotokos (Christ-bearer) rather than Theotokos (God-bearer) since a creature cannot give birth to God.
- The concept of Hypostatic Union explains that Jesus is the one incarnate nature of the divine Logos, maintaining both divine and human aspects without confusion.
- Jesus is recognized as both perfect God and perfect man, with a harmonious coexistence of His two natures.
Council of Chalcedon and Monophysitism
- Established in opposition to Monophysitism, which posits that human nature ceased to exist in Christ upon divine incarnation.
- Emphasized the significance of preserving the distinct character of each nature in Jesus.
Trinitarian Dogma
- The Trinity is one entity consisting of three distinct persons: Father (unbegotten), Son (eternally begotten), and Holy Spirit (proceeds from the Father and the Son).
- Each person is co-equal, co-eternal, and consubstantial, sharing divine substance without division.
God’s Existence and Philosophical Perspectives
- Five Ways to understand God's existence include motion, causation, possibility and necessity, degrees of perfection, and teleology.
- Eden is depicted as the perfect original state of humanity, representing harmony and peace.
The Human Person and Dignity
- Humanity consists of both body (material composition, corruptible) and soul (immortal, principle of life).
- The soul comprises three elements: vegetative (nutrition and growth), rational (capacity for thought and decision-making), and appetitive (imagination and movement).
- Human beings, made in the image of God, possess dignity through their rationality and free will.
Original Sin and Consequences
- Original sin signifies a loss of original holiness and justice but does not equate to personal fault of descendants.
- The concept of concupiscence indicates an inclination towards sin due to the weakening of human nature following the fall from grace.
- The essential harmony inherent in creation was disrupted, resulting in a universal tendency towards sin and death.
Personal Sin
- Personal sin is defined as a deliberate moral evil choice, highlighting individual responsibility and the need for moral rectitude.
- Any action that violates human dignity, such as torture or coercion, constitutes a severe moral offense against the principles of humanity.
