The doctrine of the God – man-Christology-tells of Jesus, both as the incarnation of God and as the son of God. He is human because his mother is a human woman, but he is like God because his father is the One God. At the same time, Christianity does not consider Jesus a demigod, and does not refer to the number of prophets. He is the one and only incarnation of God on Earth. There can be no second person like Jesus, because God is infinite and cannot be incarnated twice. The appearance of Jesus was foretold by the prophets. In the old Testament, he is represented as the Messiah-Savior of mankind.

After the crucifixion and physical death, the human hypostasis of Jesus became incarnate in the divine. His soul was United with his Father in Paradise, and his body was buried. This paradox of Jesus-man and Jesus-God is expressed in the Ecumenical Council by the formula of 4 negations:

unsolicited;
unconverted;
inseparably;
inseparable.
Orthodox branches of Christianity revere Jesus as a God-man-an entity that embodies divine and human traits. Arianism reveres him as a creation of God, Nestorianism as two separate entities: divine and human. Those who profess Monophysitism believe in Jesus, a God who has absorbed his human nature.
