Lesson 3

It is about the heresies in the early Christian Society. There were many controversial issues, say the doctrine of Trinity and the innate divinity and humanity of Jesus. Surely, it is still a myth right now and it is not easily to be understood. The arugments, unavoidably, would not have answers.

After hearing the different heresies, it is found that most of them tried to solve the problem of Jesus's humanity. The sects, affected by the doctrine of Jews, were not easy to grasp the flesh Jesus. They tried to ignore this kind of Jesus, and only emphazied the divine Jesus.
For example, one sect:
耶穌是一個普通人，神收納他為兒子，並賜予「基督」(靈)給他，但當耶穌死後「基督」便離開他了。

It is not difficult to point out that they tried to frame Jesus at their desire. It seems funny. However, we are sometimes trapped by this. We always tried to explain the reason for God's action according to what we want. Say, we would say in this way:" The Tsuami in South Asia is a punishment by God."

What I want to say is that: Jesus is both God and Man. When he lived in the world, He was also tempted to sin. But He chose not to sin. That is why he was called to be a Great Model for Christian. He is God. On the other hand, He is a man, just like us. If He only had his divinity without flesh, He would not be able to sin. Therefore, it is his determination not to sin, right?

What I should learn from Jesus is : To Respect God's Soverenity and To Grasp His Grace and To Grasp His Compassion. That is also the origins of our belief. It sounds difficult to be balanced.
