Fantastic post. :up:
Mystery nailed it, and I would add... God the Son does not suffer from multiple personality disorder, God the Son isn't schizophrenic. Those who claim He is have invented a bizarre defect in the Christ and have put their faith into man-made doctrine not based on God's word.

Summary
As I expressed to Knight on another thread, I am glad that this important doctrine has been brought to debate. I am also encouraged that many now know that God, who appeared to us in the likeness of sinful flesh Romans 8:3 Philippians 2:5-7, died on a cross to reconcile the world unto Himself 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 and was raised because of our justification Romans 4:25 did not have two natures, two souls, two minds, and two unique identities.
As those who hold to an unbiblical view of the incarnation have pointed out, they think that the "one nature" of God abandoned the "other nature" of man at some point prior to or during the crucifixion, where they attempt to divide Jesus into two separate persons:
God... whom they claim did not and could not suffer and die for your sins
and a
Man... who was abandoned by God, and suffered and died with an independent mind, will, and soul.
They conclude that God, who was in Christ reconciling the world, was not in Christ during the time that the world was being reconciled. :dizzy:
The "two nature" theorists have no biblical support, and have in fact stripped us from our redemption, while at the same time stripping Jesus from His divine nature when it was the most pivitol point in History (His story).
