Sin

I believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost .

• Adam and Eve commit sin by eating forbidden fruit (Gen 3:6) They fell from our original righteousness and communion, with God(ECC 7:29,Rom 3:23) and so became dead in sin(Gen 2:17)
• All men are counted guilty because of their sin (Rom 5:12) .
• From this original corruption, whereby we are utterly indisposed, disabled,(ROM 8:7 ) and made opposite to all good(Eph 4:18), and wholly inclined to all evildo proceed all actual transgressions (ROM 3:10-12)
• Every sin brings guilt (James 2:10),Agitation (Job 3:17) and trouble (Hos 4:15) upon every sinner .
• At the result of sin every sinner is made subjected to death ,physically (Gen 3:19) spiritually (Rom 6:23) and eternally(Rev 20:14)

Kyrios  


The Greek word Kyrios (κύριος) may mean God, lord or master. It is used in both the Old Testament and the New Testament.  Kyrios appears about 740 times in the New Testament, usually
referring to Jesus.

The use of Kyrios in the New Testament has been the subject of debate among modern scholars, and three schools of thought exist on that topic. The first is that based on the Septuagint usage, the designation is intended to assign to Jesus the Old Testament attributes of God. The reasoning here being, that at the time the Septuagint was written, when reading out loud, Jews pronounced Adonai, the Hebrew word for "Lord", when they encountered the name of God, "YHWH", which was thus translated into Greek in each instance as Kyrios.

And the early Christians, as speakers of Greek, would have been deeply familiar with the Septuagint. The second is that as the early Church expanded, Hellenistic influences resulted in the use of the term.

The third is that it is a translation of the Aramaic title Mari applied to Jesus.  In everyday Aramaic, Mari was a very respectful form of polite address, well above "Teacher" and similar to
Rabbi. In Greek this has at times been translated as Kyrios. While the term Mari expressed the relationship between Jesus and his disciples during his life, the Greek Kyrios came to represent
his lordship over the world. 

The Gospel of John seldom uses Kyrios to refer to Jesus during his ministry, but does so after the Resurrection, although the vocative Kyrie (meaning sir) appears frequently. The Gospel of Mark never applies the term Kyrios as a direct reference to Jesus, unlike Paul who uses it 163 times. When Mark uses Kyrios (e.g. in 1:3 , 11:9 , 12:11, etc.) it is in reference to God. Mark does, however, use Kyrios in passages where it is unclear whether it applies to God or Jesus, e.g. in Mark 5:19 or Mark 11: 3.

One consequence of the use of Kyrios to refer to Jesus in the New Testament is that almost all Old Testament references to God (except Father) can then apply to Jesus. Kyrios is a key element
of the Christology of Apostle Paul. Most scholars agree that the use of Kyrios, and hence the Lordship of Jesus, predated the Pauline epistles, but that Saint Paul expanded and elaborated on
that topic.

More than any other title, Kyrios defined the relationship between Jesus and those who believed in him as Christ: Jesus was their Lord and Master who was to be served with all their hearts and who would one day judge their actions throughout their lives.

The Kyrios title for Jesus is central to the development of New Testament Christology, for the early Christians placed it at the center of their understanding and from that center attempted to understand the other issues related to the Christian mysteries

Homoiousia  similar essence

Homoiousia is the theological doctrine that Jesus the Son of God and God the Father are of similar but not the same substance, a position held by the Semi-Arians in the 4th century.

It contrasts with homoousia (orthodox Trinitarianism) and heteroousia (Arianism).
(McGrath ,235-36)

Anthropotokos  mother of man (bearer of humanity)


It was ascribed to Mary the Mother of Jesus by certain Christians around the time of the Nestorian debates.

It literally means "the one who gives birth to a man" it contrast to “theotokos”

Tetragrammaton  

4 letters of Hebrew usually transliterated YHWH or JHVH, propername of God

Iconoclastic 

"breaking of images"


The controversies against the practice of using images(icons) in public worship and private devotion were irrupted by the decision of Emperor Lord III. To portray God in an image was to imply that God could be described or defined that could be an unthinkable limitation on God.

Docetism  

An early Christological heresy.

Which treated Jesus Christ as a purely divine being who only had the “appearance” of being human.



Impeccability of Christ Jesus can’t sin
The absence or incapable of sin that believes this to be an attribute of God and therefore also an attribute of Christ.
