One of our Eternal Perspective Ministries [former] staff members is Julia (Stager) Mayo. Julia holds a Master of Arts in Biblical and Theological Studies from Western Seminary and makes a great contribution to EPM. Julia graduated with highest honors last spring and received the Senior Achievement Award. This fall she is continuing her studies at Western Seminary as a Masters of Theology student, and we’re honored to work with her.

Because of my respect for her as a person and as a biblical thinker, I asked Julia to begin what will be a regular video blog to express her personal, biblical and theological perspectives. She has a great deal to offer, and I’m really excited about her doing this.

Julia’s first video is “Superheroes, Heresies and the God-man,” and in this video she talks about some common misconceptions when it comes to understanding Jesus as both God and man. We’ll be posting a new video from Julia every other week.

I hope you’ll look for Julia’s regular blogs and pass them on through your social media and other outlets. I respect Julia and love to hear what she has to say—I think you will too.

Here are the formal names for the heresies I caricatured:

Docetism (Superman) - The heresy that Jesus looked like a human but actually wasn't one.
Eutychianism (Spiderman) - The belief that Jesus had one nature that was the fusion of the human and divine natures.
Nestorianism (The Hulk/Gollum) - The heresy that Jesus had two divided natures.
Ebionism (Batman) - The heresy that the denies deity of Jesus, Jesus is Messiah and will return to save the world.
