The first class I taught as a new member of faculty at a theological college was Doctrine of Christ. I prepared the course with great expectation, assuming that the doctrine of Christ as both divine and human, as set out in the Scriptures and affirmed in the ancient Creeds of the Church would be fully accepted by the students. I was dismayed to find that some opposed the doctrine and argued that if Christ were God, then the whole world would have collapsed when he died on the cross. Therefore, they argued, Jesus could not be divine. After prayer and consultation with colleagues, I attempted to show from the Scriptures that Jesus is indeed the Son of God. But no amount of proof would persuade one of them otherwise and the student left the class still holding that belief.
