He expressly asserted that the humanity of Christ was incomplete, contending that this very defect in the human nature made possible the unity of His person. According to Apollinaris, then, the union was a composition. The Logos superseded the human reason, and was thus united to body and animal soul. Apollinarianism was a form of docetism.
And the more it gives, the more it grows, for the law of the growth of life is that it increases by pouring itself forth and not by drawing from without by giving, not by taking. Sacrifice, then, in its primary meaning, is a thing of joy; the Logos pours Himself out to make a world, and, seeing the travail of His soul, is satisfied.
We cannot therefore put too high a value on the Fourth Gospel for a knowledge of the intellectual movement of that day. It is true that a religion need not be a philosophy, but it must not owe philosophy any answer. Small as may be the emphasis that we now lay on the Logos doctrine, in that period it was the centre, the vital germ of the whole Christian teaching.
We mean by the doctrine respecting the Person of Jesus, that He is, with reference to His pre-existent state, the Logos and Only-begotten Son of God; and that, as being such, He is to be worshipped and honoured as Lord and God; and that, in order to be our Mediator, and the Sacrifice for our sin, He took upon Him our nature.
Ancient Greek philosophy called this decree, this meaning of life, the Logos, and the Nicene Creed is a confession of faith in that philosophy.
Such is an outline of the Law of Sacrifice, based on the primary Sacrifice of the Logos, that Sacrifice of which all other sacrifices are reflexions.
That is, though numerically distinct, He partook of the same Divine Nature: "All Things were made by Him." Because, partaking fully of the nature, He partook fully of the power of God, and so of His creating power. "That was the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." "The Logos was made flesh." He was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man.
Heracleitus makes the ALL inclusive of all Being and Non-Being, all pairs of opposites, "differentiation and non-differentiation, the generable and ingenerable, mortal and immortal, the Logos and Aeon, and the Father and Son," which he calls the "Just God."
In the study of scientific topics it is well in the outset to establish definitions. I will, therefore, commence by looking our subject squarely in the face, and establishing a concise definition of Phrenology. PHRENOLOGY is the science of intelligence. It is derived from two Greek words Phren intelligence Logos "discourse" or science.
Robert had at that moment under his arm a German treatise on the history of the Logos doctrine, which afterward, looking back on the little scene, he thought it probable Newcome recognized.
