Dr White, I am Clint, a longtime listener, can you direct me to a place that I might make a copy of the writings of Fulgentius of Ruspe, particularly regarding the Hypostatic Union for closer inspection and study? Thank you, C
James Trotter Fulgentius of Ruspe died in c. 527-33. There are two books in English translation of his works: -Selected Writings (where I don't remember any such treatise you mentioned). -Correspondece with the Scythian Monks on Christology and Grace
Actually the Hypostatic union as defined in Chalcedon did not make a whole lot of sense. It painted a Nestorian figure, yet said they both natures existed together in one person without division, yet without mergence and without one interfering with the other, a paradox. So if Jesus did not know the day or the hour of his return, they say he didn't know in his human nature. Okay, so why didn't he just pop over to his divine nature and tell us when he's coming back? So, a better understanding is when in the flesh he kept his identity as the Logos, but became a man, given the Holy Spirit without measure, and did teachings and miracles, not by his own power, but the Holy Spirit, directed by the Father. After his ascension he now has the fulness of the deity in him.
Isn't Fulgentius lock-step in misquoting and abusing the same verses that lead Theodosius I to write and enforce (by persecution and murder) the Edict of Thessalonica?
Thank you, whomever is behind the Dividing Line Highlights channel. I watch these before I go to bed.
It is so important to learn the dogma of the Hypostatic Union thoroughly.
Fulgentius got it correct. Our thanks to him.
Wonderful.

Is this the same Fulgentius who wrote the ancient hymn, " Of the Father's Love Begotten"? I believe it was written sometime in the 5th century.

@@AndreBentrup Why not DNA of Mary and that of the Father?
Yes he had both. But his miraculous powers were left behind in the Incarnation. He did miracles by the Father in him.
