	In countering the Arian controversy in the fourth century, which claimed that the Son of God was a creature – even though a most exalted one - born in time, the fathers of the Church taught that Jesus, as the Son of God was consubstantial [of one essence] with the Father [oJmoouvsion tw'/ Patriv]. In teaching that the Son of God was consubstantial with the Father, the Church not only refuted the famous Arian slogan which stated that “there was a time when He [i.e., the Son of God] was not”, but also made plain that that the 'being' [oujsiva] of the Son in relation to his Father was identical, one and the same; and hence entirely 'other' from that of the world's nature. On the contrary, the Son’s 'being', the fathers taught, belonged to the same substance or essence of God, whereas that of the world's belonged to the will of God and was created. As the eternal Son of God, Jesus Christ was divine with exactly the same divinity as God the Father, but, as One born on earth from the virgin Mary in Bethlehem, he was also fully human. Being of the same substance with the Father, God's only begotten Son, the man Jesus of Nazareth not only revealed the Father – "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (Jn 14:6) – but was also the saviour of the world. Being fully human, Jesus Christ identified totally with the human condition – except for sin of course – and therefore raised it back to God, uniting it with God.

 ==Conception==
-Only a hair's bredth different, [[Christians]] believe that Mary conceived her son miraculously by the agency of the Holy Spirit. Muslims believe that she conceived her son miraculously by the command of God. Joseph was from these perspectives and according to the canonical gospels the acting adoptive father of Jesus.
+== History ==
 ==Etymology and titles==
 “Christ” is a title derived from the [[Greek]] Χριστός (''Christós''), [[meaning]] the “Anointed One,” which corresponds to the [[Aramaic]]-derived “[[Messiah]]”. The [[name]] “Jesus” is an [[Anglicization]] of the Greek Ίησους (''Iēsous''), itself a [[Hellenization]] of [[Aramaic]] ישוע (''Yeshua''). Christ is not Jesus’ last name as many suspect. It is his title. Christ means “annointed” or “Messiah”. Therefore, the word Christ designates that Jesus is the awaited Messiah of [[Israel]]. The language of Jesus Christ and first century [[Palestine]] was Aramaic.

The [[Christology\|Christological]] terminology defined at the Council of [[Chalcedon]] is the main difference and the reason for the split between the Eastern [[Orthodox Church\|Orthodox church]] and the [[Oriental Orthodox]] church, who only recognise the first three ecumenical councils.

	At the first [[First Ecumenical Council\|Council of Nicaea]] (325), Jesus Christ was declared as God, "consubstantial" with the Father. At the [[Third Ecumenical Council\|Council of Ephesus]] (431), Jesus Christ was declared as only one person, though divine as well as human. At the Council of Chalcedon, almost twenty years after Ephesus, Jesus Christ was declared to be two complete natures, one human and one divine.
