Usage examples of "docetic".

Versions which contained docetic elements and exhortations to the most pronounced asceticism had even made their way into the public worship of the Church.

Among the reasons for these alterations were the theological disputes of the second and third centuries, as scribes sometimes modified their texts in light of the adoptionistic, docetic, and separationist Christologies that were vying for attention in the period.

Yet afterwards, the Christological dogmas of the third and following centuries demanded a docetic explanation of many points in that history.
