#1 I was a Christian, and I wanted to believe that Jesus was the divine Son of God, fully God and fully man. So when it came time in class to study the Gospels, I was all ears. The professor proceeded to tell us that the Gospels are not biographies of Jesus but rather didactic (teaching) works. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing—the professor was telling us that the Gospels were not biographies of Jesus! The professor then went on to explain that the Gospels were written as a way for Jesus’ followers to learn about his teachings in order to live by them. My initial reaction was to raise my hand and ask what happened to Jesus as God and man. I wanted to know if the professor believed that Jesus had a divine nature and a human nature, and if so, what those natures were. After all, wasn’t Jesus God. And wasn’t God a man. The professor looked at me strangely, as if I had just asked him if the Earth was round or flat. He then told me that he didn’t think Jesus had a divine nature or a human nature; he believed that Jesus was completely God.
