#Reformed #Christian #grownostr

and now, for some inside baseball

I am shocked to discover that Sproul, Ferguson, Hodge, and Piper all deny the impeccability of Christ. That goes against the definition of Chalcedon and reflects a flawed #Christology.

R. Carlton Wynn nails it:

Bucey and Tipton (discussing Vos) nail it even harder:

In sum: natures desire (temptability); persons choose (peccability).

In Christ, there are two natures, but only one (eternal, divine) Person (Chalcedon).

In the Incarnation, he "took on flesh," which is to say, he took on human nature--he did not take on a human *person* . The person of Christ is the Second Person of the Trinity, incarnate. Since God is impeccable, Christ is as well. To say that Christ is peccable is to suggest that there can be--between the Father and the Son--conflict, disagreement, division, discord. Which is absurd.
