Being human is being "made a little lower than the angels"  I does not of necessity have to include a
"fallen human nature" which is what is implied when one says that His humanity was not divine.  How
one can take such a stand on Jesus being God and ATST say his humanity was not divine is beyond
me in light of what His Own Word says about being "double souled" - unless what is meant by
"humanity" is the physical body without the soul.

IFF you are incorrect on this matter then, 'all truth' does NOT include this rather central and rather important
matter concerning 'who Jesus is'.
 
I am speaking of two natures and the idea that "the humanity of Christ was not divine"
James wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit that the double minded or double souled person
is unstable in all of his ways... I don't accept the idea that Jesus had two natures. My belief is that
although he layed aside the glory he had with the father, he was born with a divine (holy) nature.
and experienced our human nature along with all of its falleness when he took it upon himself at the
cross.  The other side of the same coin though is that we become partakers of the divine nature when
we receive Him as a covenant partner and  agree to walk after the Spirit learning His will and His ways.

Dean,
I think this is where "theology" gets itself tied in knots. This is what JD has been accusing me of for so long.
How ironic that his mentor Bill would write something like this.  I think Lance just repeated it to qualify something. 
So their Jesus must have a schism in his personality (or nature).  What about his saying to Philip "If you have
seen me you have seen the Father"  We know he wasn't speaking of his physical body here; so does God
The Father also have a schismatic personality.
 
cd: Judy can you define your usage of 'schismatic'.

Well, yes and no, DH. I am included in that circle of love in the way that Christ's humanity is included in that relationship. But as the humanity of Christ is not divine, neither am I divine.
 
cd: Lance at this point- How do you define "Divine"?
