Featured The Nature of the Incarnation - Dual or Single?

You should have looked further. The following was posted on the thread "Did the Son of God Die" Using your logic one would probably have to say that yes God died, an impossibility!

 

Not really. You need to look at the London Confession a little closer!

The Confession states: two whole, perfect, and distinct natures were inseparably joined together in one person, without conversion, composition, or confusion; which person is very God and very man, yet one Christ, the only mediator between God and man.

The two natures were joined in one person. That does not mean the two natures ceased to exist. One nature cannot be both "very God and very man" In Scripture Jesus Christ is called the Son of Man [85 times in the New Testament] and the Son of God [46 times in the New Testament]. When we speak of the Trinity we say there is one nature but three persons!

 

This may be off basis., I'm at work trying to do this.., (lol shame on me). If so sorry. But interesting thought. If we are the bride of Christ, and there will be a wedding ceremony in heaven in the end (2 corrinthians 11:2, ephesians 5:24, and Revelations 21:2) does that not mean that Jesus is still two natures because in order to have a wedding as two shall become one flesh., Thus the whole we will be brethen and partakers of the body of Christ type thing?

 

the Virgin Birth of the Lord jesus allowed him to have from mary His Humanity, yet without inheriritng the sin nature of all other men!

The Christian faith ALWAYS held as orthodox that Jesus was 2 natures in ONE being, 100 % man and 100% God!

 

Not anymore than any person "dies."

Christ being the perfect lamb died but did the "Spiritual nature" die?

Does not the Scriptures mention that Christ continued to perform the Father's work while the body lay uncorrupted in the borrowed tomb?

When He arose, did He not tell the woman to not touch Him for He had not yet ascended to the Father?

If Christ had not died there would be no justification, but just as all "created in the image of God" in the first Adam do die, for Christ carried that "seed" through David (or are caught up into the air), the nature of a person lives on, so then was the Christ.

The "nature of the unregenerate" live on in hell. Ex. richman.

The "nature of the regenerate" lives on in the heavenly. Ex. Lazarus

The Scriptures state that Christ died. As the perfect lamb without any blemish or spot, He "became sin for us." He is the perfect "scapegoat."

How was this then? Did God die?

The Scriptures state that the body "seed of David" being dead, as a tested by the Roman soldiers, was laid in a borrowed tomb. (physical form)

The Scriptures state that Christ "The Son of God" appeared in the paradise and hell and took the keys of death and hell. (This appearance was in the Spiritual nature for the physical form was in the tomb).

The Scriptures state that Christ arose in possession of both body and Spirit nature. (the first fruits showing victory over death and the grave)

What Christ did not experience is what He prepared for the devil and the angels - the second death.

There is no disagreement.
