1. Jesus Christ bore the nature of a specific "race."
2. In bearing the nature of a specific race, Jesus Christ bore complete and full human nature (substance) as such.
2. In bearing the nature of a specific race, Jesus Christ bore complete and full human nature (substance) as such.
3. To say that races can differ by superiority or inferiority necessarily implies that they differ in nature (substance).
4. Therefore, if race can differ by superiority or inferiority, thereby differing in nature (substance), then Christ did not bear the nature (substance) of all men, for he bore the human nature (substance) by bearing the nature of a specific race.
5. This contradicts the Creed: “I believe in…one Lord Jesus Christ…Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man” (Nicene Creed).
For proof of each claim, based entirely on creedal assumptions, see:
