Ep. 163 - Retractions and Objections: ”Rediscover Bethel”

In this spontaneous episode, I discuss my thoughts on "Rediscover Bethel" and cover some key points, especially because of claims I had made in the past. I hope my goals, which are laid out in this episode, are met.

Some additional information:

Nature refers to what something is. Nature is synonyms with essence, and substance.

Divine Nature: God with corresponding attributes and capacities.

Human Nature: humans with corresponding attributes and capacities.

Essence is the fundamental nature of something – it is what makes something what it is without it being something else.

Natures do not act, a person acts through their nature.

A person is the “who.”

The person subsists in their nature and acts through its capacities.

The Person, the Eternal Son, added to himself a human nature. The divine and human nature do not act, but it is the person of the Son acting in and through his two natures.
