In other words, you're promoting a variation of the divine flesh heresy that was floating around in some Oneness circles. In Christ, deity and humanity are joined in prosopic union; that's what Nestorius taught. It's Christ's divinity that makes Him divine, not His humanity.<br /><br />Nestorius never said that Jesus, as a human being, was "morally related" to the Logos. What he said was that those things pertaining to Christ's divinity don't pertain to His humanity and the things pertaining to His humanity don't pertain to His divinity. You might want to read the surviving correspondence between him and that spawn of Satan, Cyril - who bore false witness against him at Ephesus. Nestorius believed that the Word was united to a human nature in Christ, and that these two natures, being united together, make but one Christ, one Son only, and likewise one Person only, made up of two natures. Cyril, that spawn of Satan, taught only one nature and commingled, intermixed, etc. Christ's deity and humanity. The result was that Cyril had a God who hungers, thirsts, suffers, and even dies. Interestingly, there isn't as much difference between Nestorius' two-nature Christ and that of the Council of Chalcedon.<br /><br />I strongly recommend that you do some real research and find out what Nestorius believed from more than just a single anathema, but from Nestorius' own letters to Cyril and from Nestorius' book The Bazaar of Heraclides.Chancellor Carlyle Roberts IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322676766752592930noreply@blogger.com
