  The Logical Coherence of the Hypostatic Union of the Person of Jesus Christ The hypostatic union refers to the union of two natures (divine and human) in one person, Jesus Christ. Some people argue that this concept is contradictory because it seems to imply that Jesus is both fully divine and fully human, which might appear to be mutually exclusive properties. However, the law of contradiction states that something cannot both be and not be at the same time and in the same respect. To address the potential contradiction in the hypostatic union, we can consider the following: Different respects The hypostatic union posits that Jesus has two natures (divine and human) that coexist in one person.

Jesus' resurrection, miracles, fulfilment of prophecies, teachings, claims to deity and his acceptance of Lordship and worship are enough proofs of his deity. The argument of Muslims that Jesus Christ is not divine/God since there's no where Jesus Christ said unequivocally that "I am God, worship me" is like exonerating a thief because he didn't say that he is a thief. The argument falls short of logical reasoning and commits some logical fallacies as exposed below: Fallacy of appeal to ignorance This is a...
