A weekly study in which we talk about the Gospel, our Lord Jesus Christ, and the things that mean the most to us.
6/12/2019 1 Comment The Fifth Ecumenical CouncilPolitical considerations (a desire to unify the empire against invasions) entered into the proceedings of the Second Council of Constantinople in ad 553, never a good idea. A desire to mollify both sides led to agreements that were church-wide, but the Monophysites (who believed that Christ had only one nature, a mixture of divine and human and therefore fully neither) were not really handled head-on, and therefore much less was accomplished than should have been. Confessions of faith must be clear, and we must ever seek to know well who Jesus is: true God, true man, and therefore our Redeemer and Lord. St. Paul's on the Air for Sunday, June 16th.
