Examining First Fruits Theology ② — A Jesus Without a Body, a Christ Not Yet Born

In Part 1 we saw that the interpretive principles of the First Fruits ministry (Park Jin-young) presuppose the dispensationalist conclusions they claim to derive, and that his doctrine of God — “the Father and Jesus are two Gods” — is a direct denial of orthodox Trinitarianism. Part 2 turns to Christology. The evidence comes from two lectures on the ministry’s official channel: “[MILK] 3. Jesus — the God with Blood (the God Who Saves)” and the final lecture of the MILK series, “[MILK] 10-1 · 10-2. The First Fruits Christ (the Final Heir).” The same ground rules apply as in Part 1: only official channel videos are used as evidence, every citation carries a timestamp, and direct quotations are limited to brief excerpts. Quotations from the lectures are our own translations from the Korean.

Let me state the conclusion up front. The Christology taught in these two videos is not merely unusual in its phrasing. It contradicts the biblical text head-on, and it recycles claims the church examined and condemned as heresy centuries ago. It is wrong — and the sections below lay out the grounds for that verdict, one claim at a time.

About This Series

This is Part 2 of the series “Dissecting Park Jin-young’s First Fruits.” The full plan is below; Part 3 onward will be published in order.

1. Hermeneutics and the Doctrine of God — the circular interpretive principles of the MILK series, the “two Gods” alternative to the Trinity, theodicy
2. Christology (this article) — what “the God with blood” and “the First Fruits Christ” actually mean
3. Soteriology — assurance of salvation (MILK 1), repentance and regeneration, predestination
4. Ecclesiology and Eschatology — the “priestly church vs. bride church” division, the seven-year tribulation timeline
5. Synthesis — an overall assessment of the system as a whole

“The God with Blood” — Jesus Before He Had a Body

An Ontology Where Body = Blood

Park begins by redefining the word “body” itself. He distinguishes three tiers — “form,” “image,” and “body”: a form is the shape an entity occupies (he invokes the Greek eidos); a form visible to human eyes is an “image”; and only when that image is operated by blood may it be called a “body” (01:29:03–01:30:18). On this scheme, God the Father has a form but is invisible to human eyes, so he is not an image and certainly not a body (01:29:23–01:29:38, 01:30:43–01:30:50). Angels likewise have forms but “have no blood inside, so they cannot be called bodies” (01:28:01). He summarizes (01:25:48–01:25:54):

“The word ‘body,’ the word we call ‘flesh’ — you can only use the words ‘body’ and ‘flesh’ when something is operated by blood, without exception.”

He goes further: having a body (= blood) means possessing a separate, additional life — “the life of the flesh” (01:26:35–01:26:43). Humans were given this “auxiliary life” so that there would be a second chance if the true life were lost; Jesus was given it for the opposite reason — “so that he could lay it down in our place” (01:27:03–01:27:09). In this system, then, the sacrifice of the cross works only if Jesus possessed a literal blood-life in a body, just as we do.

The Material of the Body — “Heavenly Substance”

Yet the material of that body, he says, differs from ours. Jesus was inside the Father and came forth at the starting point of the period called “the beginning,” acquiring a body — and “because that body, unlike ours, was born in heaven, it was a body of heavenly material” (00:45:47). This body “does not age, does not get sick, does not die — but more importantly, this body does not sin; it does not respond to temptation at all” (00:46:07–00:46:13). Sinlessness itself is defined as a physical property of the body’s material.

This claim is wrong — and not even originally wrong. It is wrong in a way the church watched arrive, examined, and ruled on five hundred years ago. In the sixteenth century, a wing of the Anabaptist movement (Melchior Hoffman, Menno Simons) taught the so-called “celestial flesh” Christology: Christ’s body was not taken from Mary’s flesh; Mary was merely a passage he moved through, as water passes through a conduit, while the body itself was of separate, heavenly material. (The “conduit” image is not a later caricature invented by critics — it is how this doctrine’s own proponents described Mary’s role.) The standard scholarly treatment is George Huntston Williams’s The Radical Reformation (3rd ed., Truman State University Press, 2000).

The Reformation’s response was swift and unambiguous. Calvin devoted an entire chapter of the Institutes (Book II, chapter 13) to the question, classing the heavenly-body claim with the ancient errors of the Manichaeans and Valentinians and retorting that “Matthew does not here describe the virgin as a channel through which Christ flowed.” The Belgic Confession (1561), Article 18, confesses — explicitly “against the heresy of the Anabaptists who deny that Christ assumed human flesh from his mother” — that Christ shared in the very flesh and blood of the children, that he is the fruit of David’s loins, born of a woman. The Westminster Confession (1647), 8.2, likewise states that the Son was conceived “of her substance.” The biblical ground beneath these confessions is Galatians 4:4 (“born of a woman”) and Hebrews 2:14, 17 (“Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things… he had to be made like his brothers in every respect”): Christ’s humanity is not a parallel humanity of different material but the very same human substance as ours. Park’s “heavenly material” doctrine sits squarely in the position these confessions explicitly name as heresy.

The “body incapable of sin” is wrong in the same way. The sinlessness of Christ in orthodox Christology is not a biological impossibility arising from different material that simply does not register temptation; it is the personal obedience of one who “in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). If the material were different, the words “as we are” in Hebrews 4:15 could not stand. Park’s Jesus is a Jesus who cannot even register temptation — and that is not the Jesus Hebrews testifies to.

A Body of Different Material Undercuts His Own Doctrine of Atonement

Go one step further: the “heavenly material” body collides with Park’s own soteriology. In his system, the cross works because Jesus possessed the same “life of the flesh” we possess and laid it down “in our place” (01:27:03–01:27:09). But if the life laid down was a special life differing from ours in its very material, his system never explains how it substitutes for ours. The early church had already formalized this logic. Gregory of Nazianzus, the fourth-century Cappadocian father, wrote in his letter to Cledonius (Epistle 101): “For that which He has not assumed He has not healed” (τὸ ἀπρόσληπτον ἀθεράπευτον) — our humanity is saved only insofar as Christ actually took it. The sentence originally targeted Apollinaris, who denied Christ a human mind, but the principle applies here without alteration: if he did not take what we have, he could not lay it down in our place. In short, the “heavenly material” doctrine sets out to attack orthodoxy and demolishes Park’s own doctrine of the cross first.

Existing, but Bodiless — Preexistence as a Soul

Park claims to offer a “third answer” on the preexistence of Jesus, rejecting both orthodox Trinitarianism and Arianism. He says (00:43:57–00:44:19):

“Jesus was certainly born at the starting point of the period called ‘the beginning,’ but he existed before that. How? Birth means acquiring a body. Before that, Scripture says his soul ‘was inside the Father.’”

The scheme: Jesus’s “soul” existed inside God the Father before his birth, and at the starting point of “the beginning” that soul came out and acquired a body — that event being his “birth” (00:44:19–00:44:31). He extends the picture with an analogy: the souls of all humanity were “inside Adam” through the ancestral line, the decisive difference being that Jesus’s soul alone was inside God the Father (00:45:17–00:45:28).

But this “third answer” is not an answer. Distinguish what it claims to resolve from what it actually leaves standing, and the failure becomes plain. What he claims to have solved is the surface tension between verses that say the Son was “born” and verses that say he always was. But the point the Nicene Creed actually guards is more precise: the question is not “since when has the entity called Jesus existed?” but “does the Son — the divine person consubstantial with the Father — have a starting point?” In Park’s answer, the event in which that soul “acquires a body,” the personal starting point of the Son, still stands at “the starting point of the beginning.” Unlike Arius he does not say the Son began from sheer nothing, but the structure — a starting point exists — remains. What the Nicene Creed (325) anathematized was precisely the proposition “there was when he was not,” and Park never explains how “existing as a soul inside the Father” escapes that anathema. It does not escape it. A Son with a starting point is the very Son Nicaea condemned, whatever name is given to the state before it.

Set against the biblical text itself, the doctrine collapses further. Scripture never once describes Jesus’s preexistence as impersonal containment — a soul “inside” the Father. John 1:1 says the Word was with God (πρὸς τὸν θεόν) — not “inside” but “with,” the language of personal distinction and face-to-face fellowship. Jesus himself prays, “Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed” (John 17:5) — glory he had, the language of personal possession and memory. Colossians 1:16–17 says all things were created “in him” and “through him” and that he is “before all things,” and John 8:58 — “before Abraham was, I am” (ἐγὼ εἰμί) — points the same direction. Nor is this a late Johannine development: the Cambridge New Testament scholar Simon J. Gathercole argued in The Preexistent Son (Eerdmans, 2006) that the “I have come” sayings in Matthew, Mark, and Luke already presuppose personal preexistence. And the idea that a soul exists before its body is itself nothing new in church history — the Origenist doctrine of the preexistence of souls was formally repudiated at the Second Council of Constantinople (553). Park’s “third answer” is not a new road; it is an alley the church already walked down and marked as a dead end.

A Straw Man Aimed at “Eternal Begetting”

Park treats the orthodox doctrine of eternal generation — the Nicene confession that the Son is not made in time but eternally begotten of the Father (“true God from true God, begotten, not made”) — with open mockery (00:43:43–00:43:49):

“So that’s how the concept of ‘eternal birth’ came about. He has to be born, but he has to exist eternally — so they made him eternally being born.”

Just before this he stages a skit in which pastors crush a believer’s question — “but the Bible says he was born” — with “Quiet!” and “Who do you think you are?” (00:39:26–00:39:44). The problem is that the target of the mockery is not the actual doctrine. “Eternal generation” does not mean “a birth that takes forever.” It means precisely the opposite: the Son’s begetting has no beginning, no end, and no temporal “before” and “after” at all. The doctrine’s central claim is that the defining condition of human birth — not existing, then coming to exist — simply does not apply to this relation. Park first forces the doctrine into the human concept of birth (a process occurring in time) and then ridicules the resulting hybrid as absurd. That is a textbook straw man: refuting a claim one’s opponent never made. What Park knocked down was not the orthodox doctrine but a caricature of his own construction — which means the entire mockery scene refutes nothing. The standard recent evangelical treatment, Fred Sanders and Scott R. Swain (eds.), Retrieving Eternal Generation (Zondervan Academic, 2017), addresses exactly this family of objections — “the very word ‘generation’ implies a temporal process” — and reaffirms the classical answer running back to Augustine’s De Trinitate (Book V): generation names an eternal relation of origin, not a process; the analogy of birth is used with its temporality removed and its relationality (being from the Father) retained.

His narrative is also chronologically false. Contrary to the story that Nicaea improvised the concept to stitch together “born” verses and “eternal” verses, eternal generation was articulated roughly a century before the Council of Nicaea (325) — by Origen in De Principiis (written c. 220–230): “God was always the Father of his only-begotten Son.” It was not invented as an emergency patch during the Arian controversy; Nicaea gave official language to a conclusion the church had reached from Scripture (John 1:1; Hebrews 1:3) before the controversy ever broke out.

Interestingly, Park concedes that the council’s motive was legitimate (00:40:35–00:40:44):

“The intention was good. The Arians had to be defeated — yes, absolutely, they had to be defeated. But in trying to defeat them, they created a false basis. The intent was good, but the method they used was utterly unbiblical.”

That sentence — “the intent was good, but the method was utterly unbiblical” — is word-for-word the same formula he used about Nicaea in the video covered in Part 1 (“The Trinity Is Hard Because It’s Wrong”). When the identical phrasing recurs across two different videos, it suggests this is not an argument being made afresh but a stock rhetorical formula deployed whenever orthodox doctrinal history comes up.

Summary — “The God with Blood”

Park’s claim	What is wrong with it	Grounds
Body (flesh) = only an image operated by blood; the Father and angels have no bodies	An idiosyncratic ontology far narrower than the biblical usage of “body” and “flesh”	Hebrews 2:14, 17 — Christ’s humanity is flesh and blood “like his brothers in every respect”
Jesus’s body was of “heavenly material” — unable to age, sicken, or sin	Structurally parallel to the sixteenth-century “celestial flesh” Christology	Calvin, Institutes II.13 · Belgic Confession (1561), Art. 18 — true humanity taken from his mother
A body of different material laid down its life “in our place”	The premise of substitution (sameness) collides with the claimed difference of material within his own system	Gregory of Nazianzus, Ep. 101 — “that which He has not assumed He has not healed”
Preexistent as a soul inside the Father; a body only from “the beginning”	Different from Arius, yet a personal starting point for the Son remains	Nicene Creed (325) — anathema on “there was when he was not”
“Eternal begetting” = a birth that goes on forever (the premise of the mockery)	A straw man that distorts the doctrine’s actual definition (a non-temporal relation of origin), plus a chronology error — the doctrine predates Nicaea by a century in Origen	Nicene Creed — “begotten, not made” · Origen, De Principiis

“The First Fruits Christ” — Relocating the Name

When the “One Person” Begins — the Last Supper

MILK 10-1 teaches that believers and Christ combine as “head” and “body” into a single “gigantic person.” Park fixes the starting point of that union before the cross, at the Last Supper (00:32:20–00:32:35):

“Jesus is the head and we are the body — one person. Since when? From the Lord’s Supper before he died on the cross, from the moment the covenant was sealed in wine, Jesus and those who believe in him are married. And if married, God has promised that they are one person before God.”

This union is narrated not as metaphor but as event. Park knows that Jesus died on the cross alone and rose alone (00:31:56–00:32:02), yet he simultaneously re-narrates the entire sequence — cross, hell, resurrection — as something undergone by the combined head-plus-body person: “that great person died,” “that great person went (to hell),” “that great person’s body has now been perfectly changed” (00:33:00–00:34:00). And he restricts this union — this marriage — not to all believers but to the “bride church” found only in Paul’s thirteen letters (00:35:25–00:35:37). The dispensationalist partition established in Part 1 (only Paul’s thirteen letters apply directly to the present church) here resurfaces as a load-bearing premise of his Christology.

Resurrection = “the Birth of Christ”

MILK 10-2 goes a step further and redefines the starting point of the title “Christ” itself. Applying Psalm 2:7 (“You are my Son; today I have begotten you”) to the resurrection, Park says (00:35:16–00:35:32):

“The apostle Paul says that when Jesus rose, Christ was born. In God’s great plan, the Christ was not Jesus — it was this person.”

“This person” is the gigantic head-plus-body composite described above. He repeats the point to remove any doubt (00:36:28):

“This gigantic person is the Christ; this gigantic person is the Messiah.”

And he designates Pentecost (Acts 2) as the moment this composite was anointed king by the Spirit (00:38:02–00:38:14):

“That is what happened in Acts 2. The Messiah in the Bible was born at Jesus’s resurrection and was anointed king in Acts 2.”

The structure of the doctrine, then: the titles “Christ” and “Messiah” never referred primarily to the individual Jesus; they refer to a single collective person composed of Jesus (the head) and the future believers of the “bride church” (the body) — most of whom did not yet exist; that person was “born” at the resurrection and enthroned as king at Pentecost.

The Doctrine Collides with Its Own Proof Text

Refuting this doctrine requires no elaborate theological machinery — the very passage cited as its basis refutes it directly. Peter’s sermon immediately following Pentecost (Acts 2:14–36) is that passage, and its conclusion reads (Acts 2:36):

“Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus (τοῦτον τὸν Ἰησοῦν) whom you crucified.”

The one “made both Lord and Christ” is explicitly “this Jesus” — singular, an individual, the very one who was crucified. Not a “gigantic person of head and body,” but that Jesus. Moreover, just a few verses earlier, in Acts 2:31, Peter already calls Jesus “the Christ” while describing the resurrection itself — applying the title to the individual Jesus at the resurrection, without waiting for any Pentecost anointing. The very text Park cites as evidence for “the moment Christ was born” and “the moment he became king” reaffirms, rather than relocates, the identity of the individual Jesus. When a doctrine’s own decisive proof text denies the doctrine, no clearer disproof exists.

Connecting Psalm 2:7 to the resurrection is not, in itself, an invention. Acts 13:33 and Romans 1:4 really do make that connection, and what it means — in what sense Jesus’s humanity was publicly enthroned in messianic office through the resurrection — is a serious topic in New Testament scholarship. James D. G. Dunn’s Christology in the Making (2nd ed., SCM Press, 1989) examines this strand of early Christian tradition in detail, and on the Reformed side Richard B. Gaffin Jr.’s Resurrection and Redemption (2nd ed., P&R, 1987) makes the strongest case for the resurrection as the center of Paul’s soteriology. But the entire scholarly discussion concerns how Jesus himself was publicly installed in messianic office through the resurrection — not whether a distinct person, composed of Jesus plus a not-yet-existent future collective, was born at that moment. Park’s argument uses the former (a genuine exegetical discussion about the individual Jesus’s enthronement) as a springboard to the latter (the birth of a collective person), a claim that discussion nowhere supports. There is no bridge between what the scholarship actually debates and what Park asserts.

What the Ministry’s Namesake Text Actually Says — 1 Corinthians 15

At this point it is worth opening the passage the ministry is named after. “First Fruits” comes from Paul’s word ἀπαρχή in 1 Corinthians 15, and here is how Paul actually uses it (1 Corinthians 15:20, 23):

“But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep… But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.”

The structure is unmistakable. “Christ the firstfruits” and “those who belong to Christ” are not fused into one person; they are arranged as two distinct terms in temporal sequence, “each in his own order” (ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ τάγματι — a word for the ordering of ranks in a column). The firstfruits represents and guarantees the whole harvest, but the firstfruits is not the whole harvest. If “Christ” were the name of a composite person of head and body, Paul’s sentence — “Christ the firstfruits, then those who belong to Christ” — could not be written at all: the harvest would already be contained in the firstfruits, leaving nothing for “first” and “then” to distinguish. The very passage from which this ministry takes its name is the passage that most explicitly distinguishes the individual Christ from the people who belong to him. The “collective Christ” doctrine cannot survive this one verse.

Union Is Real — But the Title Does Not Move

Ephesians 5:31–32 applies the bridegroom-bride image to Christ and the church — and Paul himself immediately flags it: “This mystery (μυστήριον) is profound.” That the church is Christ’s body (Ephesians 5:30; 1 Corinthians 12:27) and that believers are united to Christ (John 15:1–5) are realities the whole New Testament affirms. The problem is not the reality of union. The problem is converting language Paul himself marked as “mystery” into a literal ontological fusion (“one person”), and then relocating the referent of the title “Christ” on top of it.

The high-water mark of how far orthodox theology can press union language is Augustine’s concept of the totus Christus, “the whole Christ.” Throughout his Enarrationes in Psalmos (Expositions of the Psalms), Augustine reads the “I” of the Psalms as the single voice of Christ the head together with the church his body — “the whole Christ, head and body” (totus Christus caput et corpus). No stronger language of union exists within the orthodox tradition. Yet even Augustine never crosses two lines. The distinction between head and body is maintained to the end (the head is the Savior already ascended; the body is the church still laboring on earth), and the title “Christ” never stops referring primarily to the individual Jesus. This is precisely where Park’s doctrine departs from orthodoxy — not in the intensity of union, but in moving the referent of the title.

The modern exegetical literature reaches the same verdict. Constantine R. Campbell’s Paul and Union with Christ (Zondervan, 2012) examines every “in Christ,” “with Christ,” and “through Christ” expression in the Pauline corpus verse by verse, and affirms union so strongly that he concludes it is the “webbing” that holds Paul’s whole theology together. But in his taxonomy of what union involves — union, participation, identification, incorporation — there is no category in which believers are absorbed into the referent of the title “Christ” so that a new collective person is born. Park’s “First Fruits Christ” is not a deepening of the biblical doctrine of union; it is a departure into territory that doctrine has never once permitted.

Summary — “The First Fruits Christ”

Park’s claim	What is wrong with it	The text’s / orthodoxy’s answer
Jesus (head) + bride church (body) = “one person” from the Last Supper onward	Reads Christ-church union as literal ontological fusion	Ephesians 5:32 — Paul himself flags the application as “a profound mystery”
Cross, hell, resurrection were undergone by the “gigantic person” as a whole	Re-narrates the individual events of Jesus as events of a collective person	Galatians 2:20; 1 Peter 2:24 — atonement is Christ’s own solitary work
“Christ” is not Jesus but a collective person born at the resurrection	Directly contradicted by the explicit wording of its own proof text (Acts 2)	Acts 2:36 — “God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus” (individual, singular)
Pentecost = the moment the collective person became king by the Spirit	Acts 2:31 already calls the individual Jesus “the Christ” at the resurrection	Acts 2:31 — the title applied to Jesus himself before any Pentecost “anointing”
(Implied) The “firstfruits” text supports a collective Christ	The namesake passage explicitly distinguishes and sequences Christ and believers	1 Corinthians 15:20, 23 — “Christ the firstfruits, then those who belong to Christ”

Summary

Here are the verdicts of this article, stated plainly.

• “The God with blood” — wrong. The “heavenly material” Christology built on the redefinition “body = an image operated by blood” is a rerun of the “celestial flesh” Christology that Calvin and the Belgic Confession ruled heretical in the sixteenth century. It collides with Hebrews 2:14, 17, which requires Christ’s humanity to be “like his brothers in every respect” — and by Gregory of Nazianzus’s principle that “that which He has not assumed He has not healed,” it takes Park’s own doctrine of substitution down with it.
• The preexistent soul and the mockery of “eternal begetting” — both wrong. “Preexisting as a soul inside the Father” differs from Arianism only in decoration; on the decisive point — giving the Son a starting point — it repeats the very structure Nicaea condemned. And Scripture testifies to preexistence as personal fellowship (“with God,” “the glory that I had with you”), never as impersonal containment. The ridicule of “eternal birth” is a straw man that first plants the premise the doctrine denies (birth as a temporal process) and then laughs at it; and the “Nicene improvisation” narrative collapses against the fact that Origen articulated the doctrine a full century earlier.
• “The First Fruits Christ” — refuted by its own proof text. The doctrine that “Christ” names not the individual Jesus but a head-plus-body collective person born at the resurrection collides head-on with the very passage cited for it — Acts 2:36, “God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus” (individual, singular) — and becomes impossible the moment the ministry’s namesake passage, 1 Corinthians 15:20–23, distinguishes “Christ the firstfruits” from “those who belong to Christ.”

In one sentence: what Park does throughout Part 2 is relocate two names in opposite directions — the identity of “Jesus” is split in two (a preexistent soul versus a body acquired later), while the title “Christ” is stretched from the individual Jesus onto a collective that did not yet exist. Neither move is demanded by the biblical text; both are demanded by his system — and both collapse the moment they are set against the text. This is the Christological edition of the pattern Part 1 identified: the conclusion comes first, and the text is arranged beneath it.

Next in the Series

Part 2 has covered Christology. Part 3 turns to soteriology: MILK 1 on assurance of salvation, the relation of repentance and regeneration, and predestination — how this system answers the question of who is saved, how, and with what certainty.
