To most, the Incarnation is so familiar that we have lost touch with what a scandal the manger would have been in its time.

In this Advent and Christmas episode, Matt Fradd welcomes Biblical scholar, Dr. Scott Hahn, to examine prophetic texts of the Old Testament that lay the ground for the arrival of the Christ child, covenants that prepared the way, and the earth shattering reality of God becoming an embryo.

Together they uncover the layers and depth of the Christmas scriptures and God's plan for you, while exploring typology, the significance of Mary's role in salvation history, and the meaning of the manger.

THE ERROR OF ARIUS ABOUT THE INCARNATION

In their eagerness to proclaim the unity of God and man in Christ, some heretics went to the opposite extreme and taught that not only was there one person, but also a single nature, in God and man. This error took its rise from Arius. To defend his position that those scriptural passages where Christ is represented as being inferior to the Father, must refer to the Son of God Himself, regarded in His assuming nature, Arius taught that in Christ there is no other soul than the Word of God who, he maintained, took the place of the soul in Christ’s body. Thus when Christ says, in John 14:28, “The Father is greater than I,” or when He is introduced as praying or as being sad, such matters are to be referred to the very nature of the Son of God. If this were so, the union of God’s Son with man would be effected not only in the person, but also in the nature. For, as we know, the unity of human nature arises from the union of soul and body.

RESTORATION OF MAN BY GOD THROUGH THE INCARNATION

We indicated above that the reparation of human nature could not be effected either by Adam or by any other purely human being. For no individual man ever occupied a position of pre-eminence over the whole of nature; nor can any mere man be the cause of grace. The same reasoning shows that not even an angel could be the author of man’s restoration. An angel cannot be the cause of grace, just as he cannot be man’s recompense with regard to the ultimate perfection of beatitude, to which man was to be recalled. In this matter of beatitude angels and men are on a footing of equality. Nothing remains, therefore, but that such restoration could be effected by God alone.

But if God had decided to restore man solely by an act of His will and power, the order of divine justice would not have been observed. justice demands satisfaction for sin. But God cannot render satisfaction, just as He cannot merit. Such a service pertains to one who ...

There are good trads and bad trads.

Good trads: people like me.
Bad trads: people like Those Trads Over There.

I thank Thee, O Lord, that I am not like them.

Short summary of the last "morning coffee stream" for those who don't watch them:

• the upload from recent long form interviews under Locals content+ (only available for annual subscribers) was an upload mistake, Matt apologies and this will not happen anymore;

• for the next few weeks, the interviews will be available for everyone at the same time (no early posts on DW or Locals);

• in a few weeks, the interviews will be available early and at the same time on DW and Locals (for annual and monthly subscribers);

• all advertisements will be removed from the interview posted on Locals;

• upcoming Locals event planned 28th is postponed due to snow storm prevision, the peoples who registered to the event should have received a text message.

The stream was only 6 minutes so quickly have a look if you want to hear those news from Matt himself.

Hopefully everyone will understand that the changes to DW is quite a lot of work and caused some small issues, but this is now fixed. Matt thanks everyone ...
