speratus said: No, I don't think you mean to do that. You have an inconsistant Christology, a Christ with a dual personality. The human nature and the divine nature of Christ have one personality, Impeccability, or else there would be two persons. The divine nature appropriating to itself human mortality does not split the personality of the person.
So you think the Council of Chalcedon (451 A.D) was wrong when it wrote: http://reformed.org/documents/index.html?mainframe=chalcedon.html one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, Only-begotten, recognized in two natures, without confusion, without change, without division, without separation; the distinction of natures being in no way annulled by the union, but rather the characteristics of each nature being preserved and coming together to form one person and subsistence, not as parted or separated into two persons, but one and the same Son and Only-begotten God the Word, Lord Jesus Christ;
From the Westminster Confession: http://www.gpcredding.org/wcf.html#C8 So that two whole, perfect, and distinct natures, the Godhead and the manhood, were inseparably joined together in one person, without conversion, composition, or confusion. Which person is true God, and true man, yet one Christ, the only Mediator between God and man.
Were they wrong to say the Divine and human natures did not combine?
The Definition of Chalcedon is correct but your understanding of it is incorrect. To say that each nature according to its own properties does not act in communion with the other nature is to divide and separate the person contrary to scripture and Chalcedon.
From the Formula of Concord, SD, Person of Christ Secondly, as to the execution of the office of Christ, the person does not act and work in, with, through, or according to only one nature, but in, according to, with, and through both natures, or, as the Council of Chalcedon expresses it, one nature operates in communion with the other what is a property of each.
The Reformed writer, Philip Schaff, confirms this understanding of Chalcedon, in his Creeds of Christendom, Volume I. From his section on the Creed of Chalcedon The following are the leading ideas of the Chalcedonian Christology as embodied in this symbol:. . . 4. The duality of the natures. The orthodox doctrine maintains, against Eutychianism, the distinction of nature even after the act of incarnation, without confusion or conversion, yet, on the other hand, without division or separation, so that the divine will ever remain divine, and the human ever human, and yet the two have continually one common life, and interpenetrate each other, like the persons of the Trinity.
