The Dogma

The doctrine of the Trinity teaches us that Jesus is God, the Son.

He is one Divine Person.

In the Incarnation, that single Divine Person, Who always has existed and can never not exist, took on a second nature.

Taking on a human nature did not change Jesus' Divine nature nor did it change His human nature. He is one Person in two natures.

The Consciousness of Jesus

None of our business.

His problem, not ours.

Dogma: two wills in Jesus.

Speculation: two consciousnesses in Jesus.

He is "truly God" and "truly human."

Human beings grow in awareness of who we are.

  • "And Jesus advanced (in) wisdom and age and favor before God and man" (Lk 2:52).
  • Letter to the Hebrews: He learned from suffering.
