foundations of the union of the deity and humanity of Christ. "This concept is of the hypostatic or one-person union of the divine and human natures in one person is probably one of the most difficult concepts to comprehend in theology. Not one of us has ever seen Deity except as the Scriptures reveal God, and not one of us has ever seen perfect humanity except as the Scriptures reveal prefallen Adam and our Lord. To try to relate these two concepts to the person of Christ adds complexities to ideas that are in themselves difficult to comprehend (Ryre Basic Theology p. 287)."Maggard 6Without Christ having His human nature and just having his deity, God would not have been able to come down to us in the form of a man. Without having His deity (which would cause Him not to be God), Christ would just have been a man. Through scripture it is specifically shown that God has a one-ness, that though it is not directly stated, it is implied that there is a Trinity, and it is also specifically stated that Christ was fully human (his humanity) and fully God (his deity) at the same time.Maggard 7BibliographyDorner, J.A..
