κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν του θεου και διδασκων τα περι του κυριου ιησου χριστου μετα πασης παρρησιας ακωλυτως. The underlying meaning of this blog is this: the essential unity of Christians worldwide regardless of race, nationality, or religious denomination. There are real disagreements among us but there is a small remnant in every authentically Christian gathering. The Holy Spirit is leading His remnant into deeper understandings of the "meat" of the Gospel and not just the "milk."

Christian Heresies: Apollinarianism
Apollinaris of Laodicea (aka: Apollinaris the Younger, d. 390) was the Bishop of Laodicea (in modern Syria) and an ardent anti-Arian. In his attacks on Arius' teachings he went completely in the other direction, stressing the divinity of Jesus to the exclusion of His humanity. He taught that Jesus did not have a human soul but was instead a body inhabited by the pre-existent Logos (Greek = "Word"); in effect, this rendered Jesus neither fully human nor fully divine. The teachings of Apollinaris were condemned by the Council of Constantinople in 381. Some say that Apollinarianism survives as Monophysitism.
