Understanding Christology: Who is Jesus? Insights from Scripture and Historical Heresies

This exploration delves into the profound question of "Who is Jesus?" by examining Christology through key scriptural references, such as Matthew 16:15, John 14:8-9, and various acts from the early church. We highlight the dual nature of Christ as both human and divine, affirming his identity as the Second Person of the Trinity, the Son of God and Mary. Addressing historical heresies, we discuss Arianism and Nestorianism, alongside the responses from significant councils that shaped orthodox belief, such as the Council of Nicaea and the Council of Ephesus.
