Episode notes
Hosts Reunite After Hiatus
- Kai and David rejoined Jay after a hiatus and joked about being 'cooler' and sent 55 bitcoin each as a gag.
- They framed the stream as a return to refute Monophysite errors together.
Divine-Only Hypostasis Means Uncreated
- Kai clarifies 'divine-only hypostasis' simply means the hypostasis is uncreated, not that the human aspects vanish.
- This designation guards against attributing created features like gnomic will to Christ's personal hypostasis.
Oriental Person/Hypostasis Move Subsumes Humanity
- Kai critiques Oriental ontologies that separate person and hypostasis to preserve divine immutability, arguing it subsumes the human into the divine subject.
- That move risks making the incarnate Son non-coextensive with the pre-incarnate Logos.
