Full Humanity of Christ
What Christ did not assume, he could not heal
This affirms that Christ took on a complete human nature, including a rational soul, body, and human will. Gregory of Nazianzus captured its logic: "what is not assumed is not healed." The teaching answers errors like Apollinarianism and Docetism, which diminished Christ's humanity. By assuming all that is human, Christ is held to redeem the whole person, body and soul alike.
