I've been thinking about all the roles--for lack of a better term--that Jesus Christ has as the God-man, and wanted to post about it to see if I am leaving anything out. So far I have come up with...
- God-man as one of the holy trinity
- God-man as the archetype of man
- God-man as the savior of the cosmos
- God-man as the truth
- God-man as the foundation of the church
What ones am I missing?

God-man as the union of humanity and divinity?  |

I stopped posting here in August 2011 because of stark disagreement with the policies of the administration and moderating team of the forums. If you desire, feel free to PM me, message me on Facebook (link in profile), or email me: cddombrowski@yahoo.com |

I figured that'd fall under God-man the savior, since a discussion of him being the savior would include things like his incarnation.
EDIT--Though now that I think about it, I suppose that does deserve a place all it's own, lol.

100. Like a bee one should extract from each of the virtues what is most profitable. In this way, by taking a small amount from all of them, one builds up from the practice of the virtues a great honeycomb overflowing with the soul-delighting honey of wisdom.

Missing something? I think I'm all set, unless you or someone else would like to add some?  |

It is an uncomfortable term because it has within it the idea of the world and Christs entrance therein as that of an actor onto a stage.
So many hats the hatter said, I think I shall lay down and play dead.
And when he arose the audience did too,
Your list was like credits,
Credits due.
What ones are missing you ask?
God-man THE Only-Begotten SON of the TIMELESS ONE;
BEST IN EVERY ROLE known unto man.

Courteous is my name,
and I have always aimed to live up to it.
Grace is also my name,
but when things go wrong
its Courteous whom I blame;
but its Grace who sees me through it.

Thought of another one... God-man as an Orthodox theodicy.
