What is Apollinarianism?

[Van]

Since the soul often refers to the core attributes, i.e. the soul of the matter, the most likely understanding is the human soul refers to the core attributes (personhood) of our human spirit, rather than the other way around.

Thus the human attributes of Christ, were fully attributes of His incarnate divine spirit, just as our human attributes are fully attributes of our human spirit.

Apollinarianism is a heretical belief from the fourth century that claims Jesus had a human body and soul but lacked a human mind, which was instead replaced by his divine nature. This view was rejected by early church councils, as it undermined the full humanity and divinity of Christ.

Exactly backwards!!

We are two part, not three part. Flesh and Spirit/Soul. Anytime you see a reference to our human spirit, it has our "soul" with it, and everything you see reference to our human soul, it has our human spirit with it.

Our human spirit animates our physical body, when the spirit departs, the body dies.

Yes there are numerous verses that say when the "soul" departs, the body dies, and numerous other verses that say when the spirit departs the body dies. So how are we to chose, except to realize both must always refer to the same life force.

If anyone is unable to check this for themselves, here are a few verses of each type!

Soul departs, body dies =Gen 35:18, 1 Kings 17:22, Isa 53:12

Spirit departs, body dies = Psa 104:29, Ecc. 12:7, James 2:26

Note to Van; If you build your understanding from the OT where we are distinctly told that these truths are hidden then you will always be in the dark. The OT is revealed by the NT.

I Thessalonians 5:23

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We are two part, not three part.

There are two opinions on this.
Man being a two part being versus man being a three part being.
Further more in the incarnation, only how the Word was with God changed. That the Word was God never changed.
