 Incarnation by J.I. Packer
The Incarnation, this mysterious miracle at the heart of historic Christianity, is central in the New Testament witness.
A crucial event for the church& confession of the doctrine of the Incarnation came at the Council of Chalcedon (A.D.451), when the church countered both the Nestorian idea that Jesus was two personalities—the Son of God and a man—under one skin, and the Eutychian idea that Jesus&; divinity had swallowed up his humanity.
The doctrine of the Trinity declares that the man Jesus is truly divine; that of the Incarnation declares that the divine Jesus is truly human.

 God the Father - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To trinitarian Christians (which for many centuries has represented the vast Christian majority), God the Father is not at all a separate god from the Son (of whom Jesus is the incarnation) and the Holy Spirit, the other members of the Christian Godhead.
In two of the three major forms of monotheism, Judaism and Christianity, God is called the Father in part because he is thought to take an active interests in human affairs, in the way that a father would take an interest in his children.
Christians call themselves adopted children of God: But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, burn under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

 Thoughts of Loy: Merton and Mere Christianity
This would, of course, be heresy in a [Christian] whose faith is a radical and total commitment to the truth of the Incarnation and Redemption as revealed by God and taught by the Church.
Christopher shared a Merton quote that is incredibly powerful in its call to 'mere Christianity.' In the article, "Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander," Merton devastates the modernist tendency to deny Jesus Christ as the Son of God, all the while claiming to *believe* in Him:
A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher.

 Part II - Българско Ваишнава Общество
Lord Caitanya, being the most magnanimous incarnation of the Personality of Godhead, out of His kindness and causeless mercy upon the fallen souls of this age of Kali, is prepared to bestow the highest benefit of life by the simple method of hearing and chanting the glories of the Personality of Godhead.
Such a demanding policy of the materialists, through the conception of the ‘fatherhood’ or ‘motherhood’ of Godhead, is a slight attempt to revive their eternal relationships with Godhead; however, these conceptions are far from the conception of the ‘sonhood of Godhead’ as shown by Nanda and Yasoda.
Spiritual culture is the attempt to revive that eternal love of Godhead to its spontan- ous stage, and the beginning of that attempt is receiving the transcendental message of Godhead from the right source– a self-realized soul.

 PyroManiac: Peddling Mormonism as mainstream Christianity
Christians believe Jesus Christ is pre-existent God who became a man in His incarnation while maintaining His full deity.
Mormons believe a person's works in this life will determine his or her status in the life to come, and that "salvation" is actually a progression toward godhood.
Mormons claim Jesus was a "spirit child" of Mary and Elohim (and the brother of Lucifer) who has now been elevated to the level of deity.

Within the memory of many, Mohammed has only been regarded as a monster, a sort of diabolic warrior whose precepts are written in blood and whose followers must needs be the very incarnation of cruelty.

The Old Testament Scriptures had been translated into Arabic, so that the purer ideas of Monotheism and Christianity were not unknown to them.

Vaishnava Hinduism ascribes ten incarnations (avatars) to the god Vishnu, while Christianity proclaims the sole incarnation of God the Son in Jesus Christ.

Since Rabbinic Judaism has determined that Christianity is idolatry because of the Christian deification of Jesus, Christians are not allowed to become Noachides.
It is this which gave the disciples of Jesus their conviction that they were the instruments of a universal mission, and the courage to pursue its fulfillment to the ends of the earth.

Christianity was not restricted to the Mediterranean basin and its hinterlands; at the time of Jesus a large proportion of the Jewish population lived in Mesopotamia outside the Roman Empire, especially in the city of Babylon Babylon was the capital city of Babylonia in Mesopotamia (in contemporary Iraq, about 110 km south of Baghdad).

We consider that they are here to put in place the seed of Satan (the antichrist) by installing a false world religion of ascended masters with a hierarchy that embraces all religions and smothers true Biblical Christianity.
We consider that what our primitive society has observed as Aliens are in actuality the heavenly hosts, angels, fallen angels, watchers, wicked hosts in high places, rulers of the dark world, powers, and principalities stated in the Bible.
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels or demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Messiah Jesus our Adonai." Romans 8:38.

In spite of the numerous sects represented in Japan there has been virtually no sectarian strife, and it may be said of the Japanese converts that they concern themselves scarcely at all about the subtleties of dogma which divide European Christianity.
This eclecticism was even more marked in the case of the Shingon (true word) doctrines, taught by DengyO's illustrious contemporary, Kobo daishi, who was regarded as the incarnation of Vairocana.
To these must be added the Orthodox Russian Church, which has a fine cathedral in Tokyo, a staff of about 40 Japanese priests and deacons and 27,000 converts, the whole presided over by a bishop.

And since the Incarnation is the ultimate intersection, the supreme mestizaje, it is the lens through which they most often view the other intersections between Christianity and the world.
And the new Christianity would be neither a cultural expression of Iberian Catholicism nor a mere continuation of the preconquest religions of the indigenous people, but a new incarnation of Christianity in the Americas.
It is also a metaphor by which Hispanic American theologians interpret Christianity as a whole.

Geering contends that this is not only possible but that Christianity, since its very origins, was moving towards the rejection of theism, and that in our time not only it is possible to conceive of non-theistic Christianity, but that Christianity should become so.
Geering argues that the doctrines of the Trinity and Incarnation form the basis for the Christian departure from theism.
Geering's argument of how the doctrines of the Incarnation and the Trinity spelled the beginning of the end of theism is systematic, scholarly and extremely wide-ranging.

Second, the Watchtower, through a series of deceptive quotes, irresponsibly portrays Constantine as a faithless sun-god pagan idol worshipper with no understanding of Christianity who single-handedly introduces trinity to Christianity from the pagans and is almost the author of the Nicene creed.

Christianity is at points reasonable and logical, but logic meets the end of its ability when it comes to matters like the incarnation of Christ, and the doctrine of the Trinity." Apparently the doctrines of the incarnation and the Trinity, key Christian doctrines to say the least, are illogical.
As the arrangement of the Westminster Confession of Faith would indicate, apart from the doctrine of Scripture (WCF 1), the most fundamental doctrine of Christianity is that of the Trinity (WCF 2).
And even within the ontological Trinity we must maintain that God is numerically one.

 (RC010) WORD OF FAITH MOVEMENT RESOURCES
The major tenets of the Word of Faith movement betray the fact that it is in opposition to mainstream, evangelical Christianity.
A heretical theology, on the other hand, outright denies essential doctrines of Christianity, and groups that adhere to a heretical teaching are considered to be cults.
It follows, then, that those who have had the Incarnation duplicated in them by the Holy Spirit (thus giving them the ability to exercise the “God kind of faith”) should be successful in every area of their lives.

Christianity is the "absolute religion" in which the unity of the infinite and finite and the divine and human occurs in the "incarnation of the divine nature." Universality and the absoluteness claim of Christianity are anchored in the absoluteness of the spirit and its self-realization in history.
This incarnation is bound to the Jew Jesus of Nazareth and to Israel and its history with God.
Christian dissidents (heretics) and the Jewish people were victims of churches that had borrowed state power long after the end of the state church.

 A Tribute to Hinduism - Hinduism's influence
In Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity we have the doctrine of Divine Incarnation.
There are many other similarities between Hinduism and Christianity: incense, sacred bread (prasadam), the different altars around churches (which recall the manifold deities in their niches inside Hindu temples); reciting the rosary (japamala), the Christian Trinity (the ancient Santana Dharma: Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh), Christian processions, the sign of the cross (Anganyasa), and so on.
The Hindus venerate Christ as an Incarnation, and they see that his essential message is that of the Sanatana Dharma (the Eternal Religion).
