Episode 2.67

What does it actually mean to say that God became man?

In this episode of Take 2 Theology, the incarnation of the second person of the Trinity is explored—who became incarnate, what changed, and what did not. The discussion walks through classic Christian teaching on Christ’s full deity and full humanity, drawing from Scripture, the Chalcedonian Definition, and the Athanasian Creed.

Key theological questions are addressed:

How can Christ be one person with two natures?

Why the incarnation must be assumption, not subtraction

Where Christ’s obedience belongs—in His humanity, not His eternal being

Why debates over eternal subordination matter for the Trinity and worship

The episode also explores whether the incarnation was merely God’s response to sin or central to His eternal plan, and why Christ’s two wills make His obedience real rather than symbolic.

If Jesus is not fully God, worship collapses. If He is not fully human, salvation fails. The incarnation stands at the center of Christian theology—and this episode explains why it still matters.
