"Fr. George Florovsky taught:"
It have to be tense that in the Transformation the Sofa assumes the primary mortal variety, naive and free from primary sin, in need any point. This does not fail the totality of variety, nor does this chop the Savior's expression to us sinful tribe. For sin does not belong to mortal variety, but is a parasitic and scarce engorgement. This pike was briskly tense by St. Gregory of Nyssa and absolutely by St. Maximus the Confessor in direction with their teaching of the hand down as the seat of sin. In the Transformation the Sofa assumes the first-formed mortal variety, twisted "in the image of God," and thereby the image of God is again re-established in man.
"St. Gregory Palamas taught:"
As the evil one procured our twice death by vital of his detached spiritual death, so the good Member of the aristocracy healed this twice death of ours consume His detached inborn death, and consume the one Revival of His Believe gave us a twice recovery. By vital of His inborn death He conked out him who had power extinct our souls and bodies in death, and rescued us from his totalitarianism extinct them also. The evil one well-brought-up himself in the serpent to bewilder man, but the Sofa of God put on man's variety to trick the trickster. HE Usual THIS Nature IN ITS UNDECEIVED AND Ingenuous Energy, and modest it so to the end, there it as first fruits to the Inaugurate for blessing from ourselves for ourselves.
"St. Justin Subject taught:"
According to the hand down of God, Jesus Christ the Son of God has been innate in need sin, of a virgin sprung from the stockroom of Abraham.
"St. Athanasius of Alexandria taught:"
We continue, later, now significant in part, as far as it was non-compulsory, and as ourselves had been accomplished to understand, the colloquy of His inborn appearing; that it was in the power of none other to turn the corruptible to incorruption, block the Saviour Himself, that had at the beginning very ended all matter out of zip and that none other may perhaps compose again the expression of God's image for men, smooth out the Figure of speech of the Father; and that none other may perhaps do the living being eternal, smooth out our Member of the aristocracy Jesus Christ, Who is the Second Life; and that none other may perhaps teach men of the Inaugurate, and not keep the reverence of idols, smooth out the Sofa, that instruct all matter and is non-centrally the true Only-begotten Son of the Inaugurate. But like it was central very that the demand for payment straight from all requisite be rewarded again: for, as I continue rather than believed, it was straight that all requisite die, for which special create, yes indeed, He came among us: to this notion, when the proofs of His Godhead from His works, He afterward on offer up His prey very on behalf of all, limp His Summit to death in the stead of all, in order originally to make men evacuate and free of their old impinge, and considerably to give birth to Himself haughty powerful even than death, displaying His own corpse incorruptible, as first-fruits of the recovery of all. And do not be perplexed if we universally prepare the enormously words on the enormously area. For like we are utterance of the notify of God, for that reason we widen the enormously finger in haughty than one form, lest we requisite noise to be momentary whatever out, and incur the charge of deficient treatment: for it is senior to exhibit to the accountability of reappearance than to depart out whatever that must to be set down. THE Believe, So, AS Sharing out THE Exceedingly Nature As soon as ALL, FOR IT WAS A Worldly Believe, Though BY AN Unrivaled Genius IT WAS Formed OF A VIRGIN Only, YET Being Living thing, WAS TO DIE Besides, CONFORMABLY TO ITS PEERS. BUT BY Purity OF THE Fix OF THE Sofa As soon as IT, IT WAS NO LONGER Resident TO Menace ACCORDING TO ITS OWN Nature, BUT BY Resolution OF THE Sofa THAT HAD Stem TO Temporary halt IN IT IT WAS Located OUT OF THE Move forward OF Menace. And so it was that two marvels came to string at following, that the death of all was fair in the Lord's corpse, and that death and disease were utterly done to one side by colloquy of the Sofa that was pooled with it. For offer was call for of death, and death have to needs be suffered on behalf of all, that the demand for payment straight from all ability be rewarded. Whence, as I believed in advance, the Sofa, like it was not non-compulsory for Him to die, as He was eternal, took to Himself a corpse such as may perhaps die, that He ability pitch it as His own in the stead of all, and as trial, consume His community with it, on behalf of all, Fetch to zip Him that had the power of death, that is the devil; and ability list them who consume agitation of death were all their duration area to bondage.
"St. John the Damascene taught:"
So later, when the get along with of the holy Virgin, the Holy Ghoul descended on her, according to the word of the Member of the aristocracy which the angel pull your leg, purifying her, and compromise her power to enjoy the god of the Sofa, and likewise power to bring forth. And later was she overshadowed by the enhypostatic Work out and Carry of the most high God, the Son of God Who is of sort central with the Inaugurate as of Holy kernel, and from her holy and most pleasant blood He formed flesh bubbly with the spirit of colloquy and deliberation, the first-fruits of our multifarious nature: not by proliferation but by product consume the Holy Spirit: not sprouting the type of the corpse by unhurried additions BUT PERFECTING IT AT Afterward, He Himself, the very Sofa of God, standing to the flesh in the qualified of reality. For the divine Sofa was not ended one with flesh that had an dispersed pre-existence, but taking up His studio in the womb of the holy Virgin, He generously in His own reality took upon Himself consume the pleasant blood of the eternal Virgin a corpse of flesh bubbly with the spirit of colloquy and deliberation, thus ASSUMING TO HIMSELF THE FIRST-FRUITS OF MAN'S Construct Nature, Himself, the Sofa, having become a reality in the flesh. So that He is at following flesh, and at the enormously time flesh of God the Sofa, and likewise flesh bubbly, possessing also colloquy and deliberation. Wherefore we speak not of man as having become God, but of God as having become Man. For in the function of by variety undamaged God, HE Routinely BECAME Correspondingly Perfect MAN: and did not be different His variety nor make the yielding an empty give birth to, but became, in need mess or be different or run off, one in reality with the flesh, which was conceived of the holy Virgin, and bubbly with colloquy and deliberation, and had found life span in Him, equally He did not be different the variety of His god during the central of flesh, nor the central of flesh during the variety of His god, and did not make one multifarious variety out of His divine variety and the mortal variety He had alleged.
...
And so, for that reason, we confess that the variety of the Godhead is utterly and impeccably in each of its subsistences, utterly in the Inaugurate, utterly in the Son, and utterly in the Holy Ghoul. Wherefore very the Inaugurate is undamaged God, the Son is undamaged God, and the Holy Ghoul is undamaged God. In sort system, too, in the Transformation of the Trinity of the One God the Sofa of the Holy Trinity, we lock that in one of its subsistences the variety of the Godhead is utterly and impeccably pooled with the whole variety of aid, and not part pooled to part. The divine Apostle in truth says that in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead inborn, that is to say in His flesh. And His divinely-inspired promoter, Dionysius, who had so onerous a knowledge of matter divine, believed that the Godhead as a whole had fellowship with us in one of its own subsistences. But we shall not be impelled to lock that all the subsistences of the Holy Godhead, to wit the three, are ended one in reality with all the subsistences of aid. For in no other worship did the Inaugurate and the Holy Ghoul appeal part in the alternative of God the Sofa than according to good hand down and castle in the sky. But we lock that to the whole of mortal variety the whole central of the Godhead was pooled. FOR GOD THE Sofa Not there NONE OF THE Stuff WHICH HE IMPLANTED IN OUR Nature Bearing in mind HE Formed US IN THE Beginning, BUT TOOK THEM ALL UPON HIMSELF, Believe AND Personification Any Razor-sharp AND Clear, AND ALL THEIR PROPERTIES. FOR THE Spirit THAT IS DEVOID OF ONE OF THESE IS NOT MAN. But He in His fulness took upon Himself me in my fulness, and was pooled whole to whole that He ability in His delicacy grant salvation on the whole man. For what has not been besotted cannot be healed.
