Zohnerism
Language: English

In 1997, Nathan Zohner, a 14-year-old student at Eagle Rock Junior High School in Idaho Falls, Idaho, gathered 43 votes (out of 50 ninth-graders surveyed) to ban a chemical that proved to be water.

ref: 1633, John Downe, Certaine treatises of the late reverend and learned divine, Mr Iohn Downe, page 60:
text: Satisfaction is […] looked on as a real act or operation of one or the other nature in Christ, when it is the apotelesma or effect of the actings, the doing and suffering of Christ – the dignity of what he did in reference unto the end for which he did it. For the two natures are so united in Christ as not to have a third compound principle of physical acts and operations thence arising; but each nature acts distinctly according to its own being and properties, yet so as what is the immediate act of either nature is the act of him who is one in both; from whence it has its dignity.
ref: 1669, John Owen, “On the Satisfaction of Christ”, in A Brief Declaration and Vindication of the Doctrine of the Trinity:
text: [25][…]Holl. (728) further enumerates the apotelesmata of Christ, as of a twofold order. The divine nature of the λόγος cannot affect some things except by a union with flesh[…]; other things, from his free good pleasure or purpose, he does not will to effect without flesh (for example, miracles).
ref: 1876, Heinrich Schmid, translated by Charles A. Hay and Henry E. Jacobs, The Doctrinal Theology of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, page 360:
text: Leontius of Byzantium calls the result of this retrospective reconstruction – from the trinitarian Son through the creation of human physis to the enhypostasis – an apotelesma. That is an important shift compared to Chalcedon: the apotelesma, the result of the whole process, is not the hypostasis as such, because the hypostasis – as the hypostasis of the second person of the Trinity – is the hegemonikon principle from the very beginning. The apotelesma, the final point, is the retrospectively reconstructed enhypostatical union of the person of Jesus Christ.
