The Death of Jesus

(John 19:31) Therefore, (Mark 15:42) when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, (John 19:31) [in order] that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him.

Bishop Ryle (1816-1900)

“It is noteworthy that the penitent thief, even after his conversion, had more suffering to go through before he entered into Paradise. The grace of God and the pardon of sin did not deliver him from the agony of having his legs broken. When Christ undertakes to save our souls, He does not undertake to deliver from bodily pains and conflict with the last enemy. Penitence, as well as impenitence, must taste death, unless the Savior returns first.”

Church Councils

First Council of Nicaea, 325 AD One of the earliest heresies to rear its head was Arianism, which asserted that Christ was created by the Father and later adopted as His Son.

slide-160
SLIDE 160

Church Councils

First Council of Constantinople, 381 AD It affirmed the divinity of the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Trinity. And it condemned a new heresy (Apollinarism) that claimed Christ was part man and part God but not completely one or the other.

slide-161
SLIDE 161

Church Councils

Council of Ephesus, 431 AD This council defined the teaching that Christ is one person, not two persons, as the heretical Nestorians

  • claimed. It also repudiation of one of the most

insidious of heresies in Christian history— Pelagianism, which denied original sin and said men can use their free will to attain salvation on their own merits, without God’s grace.

slide-162
SLIDE 162

Church Councils

Council of Chalcedon, 451 AD After Ephesus declared that Christ was one person, some Christians took that teaching too far, concluding that He also had just one nature, a mystical blend of the human and divine (this heresy was known as Monophysitism, from the Greek words for one and nature). This council addressed that issue but eventually led to the Great Schism in 1054 AD.

slide-163
SLIDE 163

Church Councils

Second Council of Constantinople, 553 AD This council rejected the Three Chapters as Nestorian (which was previously repudiated at the Council of Ephesus in 431 AD). These chapters include: (1) the person and writings of Theodore of Mopsuestia, (2) certain writings of Theodoret of Cyrus, and (3) the letter of Ibas of Edessa to Maris.

slide-164
SLIDE 164

Church Councils

Third Council of Constantinople, 680 AD This council refuted a new heresy about Christ called Monothelitism, which held that Christ had just one will (which leads to Monophysitism that said He only had one nature). Same heresy, different packaging.

slide-165
SLIDE 165

Church Councils

Second Council of Nicaea II, 787 AD This council declared that venerating icons was not

  • nly permissible, but also necessary. And it

lambasted anyone who claimed that veneration was akin to worship of God or that veneration of icons violated the Old Testament commandment against worshipping false idols. Big problem and huge error in the Catholic church.
