Theanthropism refers to the doctrine that Jesus Christ is both fully divine and fully human, a concept central to Christian theology. This dual nature is evident in biblical passages such as John 1:1, which declares Jesus to be the Word of God, and Hebrews 2:14, which states that Jesus shared in human flesh and blood. The apostle Paul also affirms Jesus' humanity in Philippians 2:7-8, where he writes that Jesus emptied himself and took on the form of a servant, being made in human likeness. Through this unique union of divine and human natures, Jesus is able to empathize with human struggles and provide redemption, as expressed in verses such as Hebrews 4:15, which notes that Jesus was tempted in every way, yet remained sinless.
