The Church Bride of Which Christ? Eric Halvorsen

In the beginnings of the church, there were struggles as leaders tried to understand how the Jesus, when He walked on the earth, could have been God and Man at the same time. Many different ideas were circulated causing division and persecution. Even during the life of John, the apostle, this was a problem. Finally, the church met and decided on a definitive solution to the problem. In reality, it was overthought, and the solution was not according to Scripture. The decision was reached in 451 at Chalcedon to declare that the historical Jesus was 100 percent God and 100 percent Man. All the mighty works He did were under the definition so reached as understandable because He moved using His inherent godly power. This decision was devastating to the common believer, and the Christian life became a totally human struggle. Jesus came with a mission from Father that was far more than dying on the cross for our sins. This book highlights the reason Jesus took on flesh and how understanding those reasons can transform the life of every believer.
