Jn 6:15); Mk 1:35; Lk 4:42; Jn 17 Question: If Jesus is God, was the Lord Jesus praying to Himself? Nature of Christ: a. 1689 LBC, “…was made of a woman of the tribe of Judah, of the seed of Abraham and David according to the Scriptures; so that two whole, perfect, and distinct natures were inseparably joined together in one person, without conversion, composition, or confusion; which person is very God and very man, yet one Christ, the only mediator between God and man.” - without conversion (Jesus, as perfect Man was not becoming God) - without composition, or without mixture (Jesus, wasn’t partly human and partly deity who made up one unique new super being) - without confusion (Jesus wasn’t only divine & only appeared to be human [1 Jn 1:1; 4:2-3; Jn 1:14]; He was two persons; He was not merely human & appeared to be similar to God [Arius- claimed Jesus was not eternal; condemned at council of Nicea, 325 AD]) b. Theology – “hypostatic union” – Athanasius (c.296-373) c. Council of Chalcedon (451 AD), Jesus is fully, perfect Man and fully, eternal God: two distinct natures inseparably joined in one person. ANSWER: Therefore, when Jesus prayed, He prayed to the person of the heavenly Father, as perfect, sinless Man, by the power and leading of the Holy Spirit. https://www.cbcninilchik.com/sermons/610181792110 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 10 Jun 2018 12:00:00 +0000 Jon Cardwell 0:34:48 no Jon Cardwell - Christian Disciplines https://www.cbcninilchik.com/sermons/6318188396 https://www.cbcninilchik.com/sermons/6318188396 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 03 Jun 2018 12:00:00 +0000 Jon Cardwell 0:51:29 no Jon Cardwell - Christian Disciplines https://www.cbcninilchik.com/sermons/5271817461110 5 Basic Christian Disciplines: (1) Word of God; (2) Prayer; (3) Gospel Works; (4) Fellowship; (5) Witness https://www.cbcninilchik.com/sermons/5271817461110 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 27 May 2018 12:00:00 +0000 Jon Cardwell 0:47:36 no Jon Cardwell - Christian Disciplines https://www.cbcninilchik.com/sermons/52018212557 5 Basic Christian Disciplines: (1) Word of God; (2) Prayer; (3) Gospel Works; (4) Fellowship; (5) Witness https://www.cbcninilchik.com/sermons/52018212557 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 20 May 2018 12:00:00 +0000 Jon Cardwell 0:46:43 no Jon Cardwell - Christian Disciplines
