Answer 1

The view of the Trinity that God was dynamically present in the life of Jesus, but there was no real presence of God within him is

Step-by-step explanation:

In the late second and third centuries, two attempts were made to formulate a precise definition of the relationship between Christ and God. Both views have been referred to as monarchianism ("sole sovereignty") since they stress the uniqueness and unity of God, but only the latter claimed the designation for itself.

Dynamic monarchianism maintained that God was dynamically present in the life of the man Jesus, but there was no real substantive presence of God within him. The originatior of this is Theodotus and asserted that prior to baptism Jesus was an ordinary, although completely virtuos, man. At his baptism, the Spirit, or Christ, descended on him, and from that time on he performed miraculous works of God. This theory was never a widespread popular phenomenon.
