Bethlehem, Nazereth, and the Character of Jesus: An Examination of the Person & Birth of Jesus Christ

Published on: 19th December, 2023

Examining debates and heresies formed around the question of the personhood of Jesus Christ, Joshua Noel tries to come away with important questions to ask and lessons to learn around the Christmas narrative. We explore the controversy of Jesus' birthplace, the different ideas of how Jesus could have been fully God and fully human, and even whether or not Santa Claus punched a heretic!

.

Why is Nazareth special to Jesus? What happened in Nazareth to Jesus? Where in the Bible is Jesus of Nazareth? Where is the actual birthplace of Jesus? What did Jesus do in Bethlehem? Why was it important to show Jesus came from David's lineage? What is the lineage of Jesus in the Bible? Was Jesus lineage through Judah? Which of the following describe the unique character of Jesus? What were the two main heresies about Jesus in the early church?

.

In this episode, you will be able to:

  • Discover the importance of the birthplace of Jesus
  • Ask why it's important to remember Jesus was of Nazareth
  • Examine key heresies in the attempt to describe who Jesus is
  • Learn about the history of St Nicholas at the council of Nicea

About the Podcast

Be Living Water
Benefitting all, in conflict with none, and in harmony with Christ
This show seeks to explore spirituality from the lens of a Christian Taoist, Joshua Noel. We hope to explore Christian, Hebrew, and Taoist Scriptures to find peace for ourselves, love for our neighbors, and a message of Salvation for our time. The only way to the Father is through Jesus Christ, but what does the way of Jesus look like in our times? Just as Lao Tzu describes "the way" as one where we find our truest selves, have harmony with creation, and seek to put others before ourselves - so too is the way we follow Christ. Some episodes may be devotionals, some will be theological explorations, and other episodes may just be ponderings of our time - but it will all be in an effort to benefit all and be in conflict with none, through Christ.
