How Would You Explain That Jesus Is Both God and Man?
from Clearview Today with Dr. Abidan Shah · host Dr. Abidan Shah
Have you ever tried to explain to a kid that Jesus isn't just God's Son, but God Himself? In this episode, we continue our Systematic Theology series with one of the most important and most misunderstood truths in Christianity: the person of Christ.We start with the full definition — Jesus, eternally co-equal with the Father, became man at the incarnation, lived a sinless life, died, rose, and will return as King. From there we dig into the Father-Son relationship within the Trinity (without procreation), why the Holy Spirit is a real person and not just a force, and three ancient heresies the church firmly rejected: that Jesus only had a divine mind in a human body, that He was two separate persons instead of one, and that His two natures blended into some third, new kind of being. We close with the actual historic, biblical position held by Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox alike, hammered out at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD.0:00 – Have You Ever Tried to Explain Who Jesus Is to a Kid?3:26 – Father and Son Without Procreation8:46 – The Holy Spirit Is a Person, Not a Force10:11 – Three Ancient Heresies About Who Jesus Is17:21 – Why This Isn't Nitpicking18:57 – The Council of Chalcedon21:39 – Who Jesus Actually IsSupport the showDr. Shah writes a personal letter every week — reflections on Scripture, faith, and living it out with clarity and purpose.
