## Extracted Topic Notes

- The debate over whether Jesus is human, divine, or both; Jiang treats it as the problem Constantine needs orthodoxy to settle. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-tedvhye8po0@transcript:v1#seg-0012`
- The debate over Christ's nature, including whether he is divine, human, both, or some combination. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-c9rzpgj0wm4@transcript:v1#seg-0022`
- model: Christology creates a logical problem: if Jesus is divine, Mary’s birth and Jesus’s death become incoherent; if Jesus is human, the sacrifice makes more sense. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-tedvhye8po0@transcript:v1#seg-0012`, `video:predictive-history-tedvhye8po0@transcript:v1#seg-0013`
- diagnosis: Jiang links Christian orthodoxy after Augustine to the migration of religious dissidents eastward: if people rejected the official interpretation, they had to leave or die. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-c9rzpgj0wm4@transcript:v1#seg-0021`, `video:predictive-history-c9rzpgj0wm4@transcript:v1#seg-0022`
- diagnosis: The relationship between God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is presented as a fundamental problem in Christianity from antiquity to the present. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-za30rbc3ttg@transcript:v1#seg-0017`
- diagnosis: The Biblical Jesus story introduces contradictions absent from Jiang's reconstruction of Jesus' teaching: God, divine sonship, crucifixion, resurrection, and second coming all have to be reconciled. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-kumhsfxnr5i@transcript:v1#seg-0004`, `video:predictive-history-kumhsfxnr5i@transcript:v1#seg-0005`
