Aaron announces a feast to the Lord in the calf episode; the act remains condemned. - The Hawd and the Limits of Companion Reliability
Bukhari reports Muhammad recognizing people he calls his companions at the Fountain before they are driven away for innovations or apostasy after him. Sunni interpretation restricts these people to hypocrites,… - The heavenly Word in the night
Wisdom poetically depicts God's powerful word descending in the judgment on Egypt. - The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the third divine person, proceeding eternally from the Father and worshiped and glorified with the Father and the Son. - The Holy Spirit's procession
The Creed's wording confesses procession from the Father. The Spirit's mission through the Son and the eternal relation of origin require careful distinction. Read Malankara Trinitarian teaching on its own terms… - The Holy Trinity
The one God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: one undivided divine nature in three irreducibly distinct hypostases. The Father is unbegotten, the Son eternally begotten, and the Spirit eternally proceeding from the… - The Holy Trinity

Above the living creatures Ezekiel sees a human-like figure within overwhelming glory. - The human person
A human being is a concrete person made in God's image and called to communion with God and neighbor. Person and nature answer different questions: who someone is and what a human being is. - The iconoclast case at Hieria
Iconoclasts argue that depicting Christ risks separating his humanity or confusing his natures. - The incarnate Word
One incarnate Word is the subject of divine and human acts; complete humanity is neither absorbed nor an independent second person. - THE INCARNATE WORD
Cyrilline miaphysite language names the unity of the incarnate Word. His divinity and humanity remain complete, without absorption or separation. - The invisible Son became visible
The Orthodox case centers on the one eternal Son who truly became human. An icon represents that person through his visible human appearance. - The Jerusalem church's flight to Pella: later tradition
Eusebius says that Jerusalem's believers were instructed by a revelation to move to Pella before the war. This is an influential tradition about the community's survival, preserved in a much later source. - The Judean famine under Claudius

Jesus' entry is interpreted through Zechariah's rejoicing over a humble king. - The last supper and the new covenant
Jesus shares the meal, speaks of the new covenant in his blood, and announces betrayal within the table fellowship. - The lifted serpent and the lifted Son of Man
Jesus explicitly compares the serpent raised by Moses with the Son of Man being lifted up so believers may have life. - The linen-clothed scribe and the saving mark
A linen-clothed figure marks mourners for preservation and receives commands amid the departure of divine glory. - The long East–West rupture

Visitors from the east seek the king, follow the star, and offer gifts to the child. - The man clothed in linen
A dazzling human-like figure appears beside the river before an angelic explanation. - The messenger of the covenant
A promised messenger prepares the way before the Lord's arrival and purification. - The messenger prepares the way
The Gospels identify John as the messenger who prepares the way before Jesus. - The obedient offering of the Son
Hebrews places the psalm's words of willing obedience on Christ's lips and relates them to his bodily self-offering. - The Oriental Orthodox churches
Oriental Orthodoxy is a communion of churches with distinct languages, rites and histories. The family is distinct from Eastern Orthodoxy, Eastern Catholic churches and the Church of the East. Shared names do not… - The Passover lamb's bones remain unbroken
John connects Jesus' unbroken bones with a scriptural saying closely associated with the Passover lamb. - The pierced one and Jerusalem's mourning
