Hypostatic union (from the Greek: ὑπόστασις hypóstasis, sediment, foundation, substance, or subsistence) is a technical term in Christian theology employed in mainstream Christology to describe the union of Christ's humanity and divinity in one hypostasis.[3]
The First Council of Ephesus recognised this doctrine and affirmed its importance, stating that the humanity and divinity of Christ are made one according to nature and hypostasis in the Logos.

Hypostasis[edit]
Main article: Hypostasis (philosophy)
Hypostasis had come into use as a technical term prior to the Christological debates of the late fourth and fifth centuries. Before there were Christians, the word was used in Greek philosophy, primarily in Stoicism.[4][5] Hypostasis had some use in the New Testament that reflect the later, technical understanding of the word; especially Hebrews 1:3. Although it can be rendered literally as "substance" this has been a cause of some confusion[6] so it is now often translated "subsistence". It denotes an actual, concrete existence, in contrast with abstract categories such as Platonic ideals.

Apollinaris of Laodicea was the first to use the term hypostasis in trying to understand the Incarnation.[7] Apollinaris described the union of the divine and human in Christ as being of a single nature and having a single essence - a single hypostasis.
In the 5th century, a dispute arose between Cyril of Alexandria and Nestorius in which Nestorius claimed that the term theotokos could not be used to describe Mary, the mother of Christ. Nestorius argued for two distinct natures of Christ, believing that God could not be born. Therefore Nestorius believed that the man Jesus was born and then assumed the divine nature after birth. The First Council of Ephesus labeled Nestorius as a neo-adoptionist and deposed him. In his letter to Nestorius, Cyril used the term hypostatic (Greek, kath' hypostasis) to refer to Christ's divine and human natures being one, saying, "“We must follow these words and teachings, keeping in mind what ‘having been made flesh’ means …. We say … that the Word, by having united to himself hypostatically flesh animated by a rational soul, inexplicably and incomprehensibly became man.”[8]
The Nestorian Theodore of Mopsuestia went in the other direction, arguing that in Christ there were two natures (dyophysite) (human and divine) and two hypostases (in the sense of "essence" or "person") that co-existed.[9] However in Theodore's time the word hypostasis could be used in a sense synonymous with ousia (which clearly means "essence" rather than "person") as it had been used by Origen and Tatian.
The Chalcedonian Definition agreed with Theodore that there were two natures in the Incarnation. However, the Council of Chalcedon also insisted that hypostasis be used as it was in the Trinitarian definition: to indicate the person and not the nature as with Apollinarius.
Thus, the Council declared that in Christ there are two natures; each retaining its own properties, and together united in one subsistence and in one single person (εἰς ἓν πρόσωπον καὶ μίαν ὑπόστασιν, eis hèn prósōpon kaì mían hypóstasin).[10]
As the precise nature of this union is held to defy finite human comprehension, the hypostatic union is also referred to by the alternative term "mystical union."
The Oriental Orthodox Churches, having rejected the Chalcedonian Creed, were known as Monophysites because they would only accept a definition that characterized the incarnate Son as having one nature. The Chalcedonian "in two natures" formula (based, at least partially, on Colossians 2:9) was seen as derived from and akin to a Nestorian Christology.[11] Contrariwise, the Chalcedonians saw the Oriental Orthodox as tending towards EutychianMonophysitism. However, the Oriental Orthodox have in modern ecumenical dialogue specified that they have never believed in the doctrines of Eutyches, that they have always affirmed that Christ's humanity is consubstantial with our own, and they thus prefer the term Miaphysite to refer to themselves, a reference to Cyrillian Christology, which used the phrase "μία φύσις τοῦ θεοῦ λόγου σεσαρκωμένη", "mía phýsis toû theoû lógou sesarkōménē". The term miaphysismeans one united nature as opposed to one singular nature (monophysis). Thus the Miaphysite position maintains that although the nature of Christ is from two, it may be referred to as one in its incarnate state because the natures always act in unity.
In recent times, leaders from the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches have signed joint statements in an attempt to work towards reunification. Likewise the leaders of the Assyrian Church of the East, which venerates Nestorius and Theodore, have in recent times signed a joint agreement with leaders of the Roman Catholic Church acknowledging that their historical differences were over terminology rather than the actual intended meaning.

Sondheim's a Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

...Sondheim’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum When I think of musical comedy, Stephen Sondheim’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is the first show that comes to mind. Just three years ago, I had never heard of Forum before, until my high school choir director announced that it would be our 2008 musical. I was hesitant to audition at first, not knowing the plot or what I was getting myself into, but now I can honestly say that it was my favorite musical production ever to be a part of. Forum, a musical farce written in two acts and Sondheim’s first work on Broadway both as composer and lyricist, is “a non-stop laugh-fest in which a crafty slave (Pseudolus) struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan (Philia) for his young master (Hero), in exchange for freedom” (MTI 1). In Sondheim’s own words, “there’s not a wasted moment in Forum, and the truth and the test of it is that the play is just as funny when performed by a group of high school students as it is when it is performed on Broadway. It is never not funny. The reason is, it is based on situations so solid that you cannot not laugh” (Gordon 25). A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a collaboration between American librettist Burt Shevelove, playwright Larry Gelbart, and musical theater extraordinaire, Stephen Sondheim. Originally, Shevelove had done a version of a Roman comedy in college and thought that a professional Broadway production would be very...

Best Thing Ever Happened to Me

...FIRST STEP TO REACH MY GOALS First step to reach my goals Fernanda Chavez English 1101 Professor McCaughan Keiser University March 4, 2010 FIRST STEP TO REACH MY GOALS First step to reach my goals The most important thing that has ever happened to me is when I got accepted to a university. Some people don’t understand how much difference a good education makes. It opens your eyes to a wider world. It helps you understand things you never understood before. It gives you opportunities for a better life that you would never have had without the education. But education isn’t enough how many PhD degree you get , your heart I till no different than anyone else’s. We’re all still basically selfish, out for what we can get, focused on taking care of just us, and making the best life for ourselves we can. The reason why education doesn’t solve everything is because we have a heart problem, not a head problem. I can have all the education I want, but if my heart is not a good, one I will never be successful in life. So get another degree. Fill your head with more knowledge, but remember to also fill your heart. My major is Business Administration and I dream of having my own business one day, a business where I can make other people feel better about them self, make them feel like they are in place where at that moment nothing matters but their happiness, where problems and worries are outside not inside.

This is the greatest decision they will ever make! The old has passed away, and they have become a new creation in Christ! Immediate follow-up begins at this point. Review the four areas that the believer needs to practice as his or her life begins. Use W.A.L.K.: W is for Who needs to know, A is for Assurance of Salvation, L is for Learn the Bible, and K is for Kneel in Prayer. “Follow-up proce¬dures are not complete until the convert has been taught to study God’s Word, to pray, to live the Christian life, and to walk with Christ.” —D. James Kennedy, Evangelism Explosion As you leave the person make sure that they have a Bible and information about your church. Leave them the tract and other tracts. Encourage them to share it with someone they know who needs Jesus. Pray with them and for them. • Every effort should be made to assimilate the new believer into the life and ministry of the church.

Memento Assignment

...watch the second black/white part. Then we jump to dot number 4 and so on. The real chronological order would be to first see all the black/white scenes in the movie in the order we see in the movie. Afterwards we would see scene 7, then scene 6 and so on until we have seen the last scene, the scene the movie started with. Because of this structure of the movie you need to follow closely or you need to know before you watch the movie how it works or else it can be very confusing. It also demands from the viewer that he/she notices the little things that happens for example when we see Sammy Jenkins at the institution and when someone walks by and suddenly it is Lenny sitting in the chair. As a viewer you also need to know when we deal with flashbacks and when we just jumped one scene back. Through the story we kind of experience how it feels to suffer from short-term memory loss like Lenny. Because we don’t know what has happened earlier we only know what Lenny has told us and what we can see on Lenny’s pictures just like Lenny. So we don’t know any more than Lenny do, we don’t know how many John G.’s he has killed or if Teddy is the one that raped and killed his wife all we know is what Lenny knows. Lenny Lenny’s disorder definitely creates a problem for Lenny, his identity...

Innocence Lost

...will this affect my family, and will I change? Who would do this to a fourteen year old girl, I thought to myself, still lying in the ditch trying to wrap my mind around the situation. Then that’s when I told myself, “Shena, you have to get up and you have to muster up enough strength to run and run until you can find help.” I slowly tried to get up; however, every time I did I felt pain from every angle of my body. This only reminded me of the horrible things that just happened to me. I keep replaying this incident in my mind, him pushing me from behind as I was walking my bike down the steep hill. He then drugged me into the ditch behind the school, near the playground. I could hear myself scuffling, screaming and pleading for help, while he is telling me, “to shut up or I will kill you.” At that point I felt like I had to fight for my life. Therefore, I fought hard slapping him, punching him, kicking him, and biting him. I did everything I could to get him to stop and to leave me alone, but nothing worked. The next thing I knew, I felt pain between my legs from him pushing deeper inside of me and that is when I realized I was being violated. I fought some more trying my best to break free, but all this did was make him mad and it just got worse. I could feel nothing but pain from this point on. I felt pain through my whole body. From every hit, push, and thrust I could smell nothing but his sweat and my blood. I started to cry, thinking if I cried harder he would...

I just really hope that it’s working as intended to be.” “That’s good,you’ll be up and well again in no time. Don’t worry - you’ll get used to those implants soon.” “I really do hope so…” The pale girl was still uneasy despite what the physician said, probably just because she was still recovering from her recent operation. It was just like what most patients that have undergone a major one would feel. Everything looked mundane and seemed in order. The room’stemperature regulated, spacious enough, and everything was tidied and regularly checked by sanitary personnel; the flowers on the vase on top of the table beside her bed was frequently changed by her visitors. However, there was something that kept bothering her periodically during her whole stay in the hospital while recovering. She could not describe nor explain it, but there is definitely something bothering her. “Well I’ll be going now Ms. Lilde. Make sure you call any of the nurses immediately if ever something happens again.” “Will do sir.” “I’ll see you again later for your next check-up.” The physician left the room after checking the condition of the girl’s eyes. She was still not allowed to remove the bandages and open her eyes yet but seeing that she’s in a steady rate of recovery, it would just be a short amount of time now before she could finally see the light again.

Difference Between Journals and Diaries: -

...Difference between journals and diaries:- The difference between a diary and a journal is that a diary is where you can write down what happened during the day and keep a record of stuff. A journal is to write your own personal feelings in, and things that happened, and how they happened. A diary is a report of what happened during the day—where you ate, who you met, the details that what was happened in the office, and who took whose side. It is a like a newspaper about you. A journal is completely different. A journal is about examining your life. It’s a GPS system for your spirit. Journals lead to insight, growth, and sometimes, achieving a goal. You can keep a journal in anything that feels comfortable and that’s portable–a spiral notebook, a bind book you have put together with lokta paper, index cards held together with a rubber band. You can use a computer; keep a blog, although that doesn’t work as well for me. But things on the internet are simply not private, password protected or not. To keep a journal on paper, pick a time of day to write. Keep it regularly. It makes it easier. Try that you didn’t stuck to an exercise program because then it can nailed it into schedule at a certain time. Writing works the same way. First thing in the morning, last thing at night, while eating lunch at your desk. Write with a good pen that feels good and whose color you like. In the beginning, you may have to set a time limit.

...have to stay active and involved. That means they need to have and interest in life and spend time with family and friends. The other thing individuals could be is disengage, meaning they will withdraw themselves from activates and people, which means less interaction with family and friends and mostly staying inside. When Nicki gets older in age, there is a chance that she might disengage from activities and people. It’s possible that Nicki could just lose interest in activities and being around people for example family and friends, meaning she would spend less time with them. This wouldn’t be surprising as Nicki is only human like everyone else, which means that she goes through the life stages and development like everyone. Another reason why Nicki could become disengage is if she develops an illness that is really bad causing her to isolate herself from everything and everyone, as it probably would be too difficult for her to cope with. This is because as you get older up age you prefer to be more independent and hide things that may cause emotional problems for family and friends. Another reason for Nicki to disengage is if a life changing event was to happen in her life, this would cause her to distant herself from people, activities and the outside world, especially if what happened was too painful. If the life event that happened involved family or friends, then Nicki would need to spend most of her time with them, meaning that reducing social activities and contact...

I think that the interaction that Laura had with Jim was very positive. It was a collection of conversation and interactions that addressed her biggest fears. Starting with the fact that the friend that Tom brings home, just happens to be the one boy that Amanda has ever had an interest in. Someone who meant a lot to her, so much that all these years later, she still keeps the program from the play he was in, tucked safely in her yearbook, that she keeps close by. The interaction with him, although at first is too much for her deal with at first, as apparent with her fainting, is the best thing that has ever happened to her. As the conversation between them goes on, he addresses her disappointment in not finishing school, and he then confesses that he wished he could be further along in his career. He goes on through the entire scene address each of her so called flaws and turning them into no big deal, hardly noticeable things, instead of the huge stumbling blocks she feels them to be.
