through a sort of notional acceptance of a set of ideas and then god's attitude towards you changes so it's dispositional but it's not focused on an actual ontological change in the person orthodox theology is very different god's disposition is based not on purely legal stance but on your actual ontological change so a metaphysical change in you versus a dispositional attitude
So maybe we don't get too heavy on the philosophy.
I do want to.
Basically, there's an idea in the Middle Ages called nominalism.
Have you heard of that?
Yes.
Okay, so nominalism is the idea that there are only names to things, not essences.
So there's no human nature.
There's no dog nature.
Right.
When we talk about natures or classes or sets of things, we're not giving an ontological or metaphysical status.
We're just simply classing things together linguistically in a set.
The Middle Ages and the ancient world, the time of Paul or the church fathers, they thought very differently.
They thought that things have natures.
They have essences.
And so the words...
aren't just terms or nominal, namism.
They actually describe what's really there in them metaphysically, okay?
So there is human nature.
And in Orthodox theology, Christ assumes— Who would deny that?
