	The Christ myth - Did the historical Jesus exist? Did Christ rise from the dead?
		For this reason, and because there is evidence for syncretism in Matthew, Luke, and John, I will briefly relate the narrative of Christ as it is given in Mark's gospel and use this as a point of comparison in the discussion that follows.
		The gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles show clear signs of syncretism, and the adoption of the Greek notion of logos in the gospel of John is another example of the same sort of thing.
		‘The legend of Jesus nearly identically parallels the story of Krishna, for example, even in detail.' (The source for this particular assertion is once again, Kelsey Graves.) I am not particularly enthused about investigating every figure of antiquity (but life is long, I have plenty of time, and tomorrow is another day).

	THE TRUE MESSAG OF JESUS CHRIST
		The identification of Jesus with the logos, was further developed in the early Church as a result of attempts made by early Christian theologians and apologists to express the Christian faith in terms that would be intelligible to the Hellenistic world.
		Since Jesus’ religion, and that of all of the earlier prophets, was the religion of submission to God, known in Arabic as Islaam, his true followers should be called submitters to God, known in Arabic as Muslims.
		However, in the Qur‘aanic account of Jesus’ birth, Mary was an unmarried maiden whose life was dedicated to the worship of God by her mother.

	Jesus of Nazareth
		Luke quotes Jesus as saying "I saw Satan fall from heaven" implying he was there—he was the logos (Luke 10:17-18).
		Paul also taught that Jesus Christ was the "rock" (I Corinthians 10:1-4), a title for YHWH used in the Hebrew Scriptures (Deuteronomy 32:4, 32:15, 32:30-31; Psalm 18:2).
		As troubling as it may be, the apostles declared that Jesus of Nazareth was not only the promised messiah but no other than the personification of the God of the Old Covenant as well as of the New.

	Who Is Wagging Whom?
		The real meaning of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ is not about Jewish/Christian conflict, but about internal Jewish conflict, an undiminished conflict that is a visible in Israel today as it was in the time of Jesus.
		Of course, these questions go much further back into history, even back before the time of the so-called Christ, when the known world was coerced into worshipping a Jewish male, which is perhaps the ultimate in conspiracy theory achievement.
		This program was already proposed 18 centuries ago by Marcion, son of bishop of Synope, but abandoned a few centuries later thanks to efforts of ambitious cretins like this famous Tertulian, who believed the invented by St. Paul "logos" so much that he proudly announced credo quia absurdum (or ineptum) est.

	Jesus of History
		The Fourth Gospel does not pretend to be a biography of Jesus; it is a presentation of Christ from the theological point of view, as the divine Logos or Word, creator of the world and redeemer of mankind.
		Jesus tells them that he has absolute authority on earth and in heaven, that they should baptise all nations in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and that he is with them till the end of the world.
		In any case, a clear reference to the circumstances of Jesus’ birth is found in the gospel of John (8.41) where, in a heated debate between Jesus and the Jews on the Mount of Olives, the latter fling at him the taunt that “we were not born of fornication”.

	Nestorianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nestorianism teaches that the human and divine essences of Christ are separate and that there are two persons, the man Jesus Christ and the divine Logos, which dwelt in the man. Thus, Nestorians reject such terminology as "God suffered" or "God was crucified", because they believe that the man Jesus Christ suffered.
		Nestorianism as a Christological heresy originated in the Church in the 5th century out of an attempt to rationally explain and understand the incarnation of the divine Logos, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity as the man Jesus Christ.
		Nestorianism is the Christian doctrine that Jesus existed as two persons, the man Jesus and the divine Son of God, rather than as a unified person.

	Council of Ephesus
		The Council decreed that Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Logos), is complete God and complete man, with a rational soul and body.
		Nestorius asserted that Jesus Christ is one person, not two separate "people": the Man, Jesus Christ and the Son of God, Logos.
		According to the Council, Nestorianism overemphasized the human nature of Jesus Christ at the expense of the divine.

	Nestorian Theology
		Diodore presented Christ as having two natures, human and divine; the divine Logos indwelt the human body of Jesus in the womb of Mary, so that the human Jesus was the subject of Christ's suffering, thus protecting the full divinity of the Logos from any hint of diminishment.
		Theodore, the father of Antiochene theology, taught two clearly defined natures of Christ: the assumed Man, perfect and complete in his humanity, and the Logos, consubstantial with the Father, perfect and complete in his divinity, the two natures (physis) being united by God in one person (prosopon).
		The Antiochenes spoke of two natures in Christ, so they came to be known as Dyophysites (from the Greek duo physis, "two natures"), whereas the Alexandrians insisted upon one nature, at once divine and human, so they came to be known as Monophysites (from mono physis, "one nature").

	Mysterium Dei: May 2004
		Astonishingly, in the Johannine doctrine of the Logos we have the convergence of numerous ideological motifs which find their ultimate meaning in the person of Jesus Christ.
		And like the historic Christ who pierced the veil of darkness with the glorious light of His immortality, so too, the iconographic depiction bursts forth showing Jesus Christ as the "King of kings and Lord of lords," the divine Logos, enthroned in the heavens -- the ruler and center of the universe.
		Indeed, this is indicated by the fact that, even though a considerable body of scholarly literature has been devoted to identifying the primary influence(s) behind the Johannine designation, there still remains a general lack of consensus in the academic forum as to the origin and background of the Johannine Logos doctrine.

		Theodore maintained that the unity of human and divine in Jesus did not produce a "mixture" of two persons, but an equality in which each was left whole and intact.

	Blogger: Email Post to a Friend
		Apollinarians so stress the divintiy of Christ--that there is no real human person called Jesus, but that the Logos, as the nous (the mind, intellect, etc.) animates the flesh in place of a human soul, spirit, etc.--that to conclude, from that framework, that Christ could have been passible is out of the question.
		Modern RC pop-apologists commit the same error when they insist that Christ is noting more than a divine person--the Logos--who animates the man Jesus (the flesh, as it were).
		This, of course, is the logical outworking of the failure to distinguish between the humanity and divinity of the one Christ.

	Nestorianism - SmartyBrain Encyclopedia and Dictionary
		Nestorius preached against the use of the title Mother of God for the Virgin Mary, arguing that Mary was Mother of Jesus Christ but not the mother of God.
		The theology of Nestorius is also referred to as "the theology of the indwelling Logos", since Christ is viewed as a man in whom the Logos dwelled.
		Nestorianism was rejected as heretical by the Council of Ephesus in 431, which held that Christ consisted of only one person with two natures, one human and one divine.

	Nugent--Christ the Koan
		And if the appellation “Christ the Koan” is objectionable, a real Christologist, Edward Schillebeeckx, has observed that some of the early Fathers referred to Jesus of Nazareth as “the new Orpheus” and that only the Fourth Gospel speaks of Christ as the Logos.
		Christ the Koan is Son of God and Son of Man, divine yet human, first and last, the root and offspring of David, the primal embodiment of the Paschal mystery of life-through-death.
		Christ the Koan would return us to the personage of “the mystery of faith,” as against the all-but-comedic spectacle of “Christ the Commodity.” This Christ the Koan whom I find implicit in Sulivan is a transcendental truth, a truth beyond confines of East or West, a Christ the Question as much as Christ the Answer.

	Apollinarianism
		Its author, Apollinaris of Laodicea (310-90), trying to arrive at a formula that would explain how Jesus could be both human and divine, taught that human beings were composed of body, soul, and spirit, and that in Jesus the human spirit was replaced by the Logos, or the second person of the Trinity.
		A controversial theologian, he maintained that the Logos, or divine nature in Christ, took the place of the rational human soul or mind of Christ and that the body of Christ was a spiritualized and glorified form of humanity.
		Apollinarianism was a heretical doctrine taught by Apollinaris the Younger, bishop of Laodicea in Syria during the 4th century.

	Apollinaris of Laodicea History Summary
		He approached 1 Corinthians 15:45 and 1 Thessalonians 5:23 as meaning that the flesh of Jesus Christ was composed of body, the irrational animal soul, and instead of the intellect, the Logos itself: thus his famous expression "One incarnate nature of the God the Logos" (found in his letter to the bishops exiled at Diocaesarea).
		One of the most brilliant theologians of his time, Apollinaris faced the most difficult question of the fourth century: how divinity and humanity could be united in the one person of Jesus Christ.
		Apollinaris gained the affection and the admiration of the church because he reacted vigorously against the emperor Julian the Apostate, who by decree forbade the Christians to teach and use Greek Classical literature.

	Daily Bible Study - The Throne Of David
		Jesus Christ is the legitimate heir to that throne, but He is also the origin of that same throne because The Logos of God that allowed humans to occupy it in the first place was the same Who was later born as Jesus Christ (see Rock Of Ages).
		The "Throne of David" has in fact always belonged to Jesus Christ, and it always will.
		After their first choice for a king, Saul, proved to be a poor leader, David assumed the position - beginning a long line of kings of the Israelites (see Kings of Israel and Judah).

	Gnosticism, Page 2
		The Gnostics interpreted this teaching to mean that there is one absolute God and one Universal Christ, or Logos, but that the body of that Universal Christ can be broken and each piece will still retain all the qualities of the whole.
		If God was One and indivisible, it naturally followed that there could be only "one Lord Jesus Christ," as Church Creed affirmed, and that no one else could ever aspire to that title.
		The Church Fathers considered such teachings blasphemous, particularly the idea that our souls came from the same source as Jesus'.

	Chapter 10
		As in trinitarianism, Jesus was "very man and very God"; for the modalists, Jesus was the incarnation of the fulness of the Godhead and not just the incarnation of a separate person called the Son or Logos.
		Furthermore, the one God is expressed fully in the person of Jesus Christ.
		Servetus wrote, "There is no other person of God but Christ… the entire Godhead of the Father is in him." [42] Servetus went so far as to call the doctrine of the trinity a three-headed monster.

	Apollinarianism
		He taught that the Logos of God, which became the divine nature of Christ, took the place of the rational human soul of Jesus and that the body of Christ was a glorified form of human nature.
		In other words, though Jesus was a man, He did not have a human mind but that the mind of Christ was solely divine.
		Apollinaris taught that the two natures of Christ could not coexist within one person.

	Arianism -- Early Christian Heresy
		Lucian held that the Logos took upon himself a human body, but not a soul; in other words, according to later standards, Lucian’s Jesus was not only not fully God, he also was not fully man.
		Although Lucian and Arius seemed to be interested primarily in the nature of Christ, the Arian controversy is called Trinitarian, not Christological, because the point at issue was the relationship between the Father and the Son in the Trinity.
		Lucian thus sought to integrate the concept of the Logos, into the monarchian insistence that only the Father is fully and truly God.

	Irenaeus and the Formulation of Orthodox
		Irenaeus argues that the Logos is Jesus Christ, who is both the Son of God and, in some mysterious way, God Himself.
		Irenaeus summarily rejects this theology which, by the way, appears to have originated with Paul, in favor of the concept that the Son/ Logos/ Christ who always existed with the Father descended to earth, was born of a virgin, died, was resurrected and ascended to heaven in order to redeem mankind.
		Irenaeus does not answer satisfactorily, except to say that the function of Christ was to reveal the Father, to redeem mankind, and that the Son is the "hand" of God (a self- conscious hand?).

	Encyclopedia: Word of God
		According to most branches of Christianity, the Logos of God is Jesus Christ.
		Christianity is an Abrahamic religion based on the life, teachings, death by crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth as described in the New Testament.
		The term The Word of God is a common English translation of the Greek New Testament term "ho Logos tou Theou".

	Son of God - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In modern English usage, the Son of God is almost always a reference to Jesus Christ, whom traditional Christianity holds to be the son of the Judeo-Christian God, eternally begotten of God the Father and coeternal with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit: God the Son.
		The term was widespread during the life of Jesus, as Roman emperor Augustus was known as the "son" of the deified Julius Caesar including on coins minted in his reign.
		The Logos in Philo is designated as the "son of God"; the Logos is the first-born; God is the father of the Logos ("De Agricultura Noe," § 12; "De Profugis," § 20).
