The concept of Yeshua (Jesus) being one person with two natures is derived from the Hypostatic Union Doctrine that states Yeshua (Jesus) has two natures: a divine nature and a human nature. This article will present the two natures of Yeshua (Jesus) Hypostatic Union Doctrine as not being Scripturally accurate and declare the doctrine as a made-up false teaching of Orthodox Christianity.

Catholicism’s Jesus is often depicted in idolatrous graven art and statue images holding out two fingers indicating His two supposed natures: divine and human. There is no verse in Scripture that declares that Yeshua (Jesus) ever held up two fingers indicating His divine and human natures, nor does Scripture proclaim that He is one person with two natures.

The theological error in the Jesus’ two natures Hypostatic Union Doctrine is that it conflates Yeshua’s (Jesus’) two states or forms of being with His nature. Yeshua (Jesus) is the only being who has ever crossed over and existed as both a spiritual being – the Son of God, and as a human being – the Son of Man.

JOHN 1:1 (NKJV):
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

JOHN 17:5 (NKJV):
“And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory that I had with You before the world was.”

Yeshua (Jesus) existed as the Word, as God with God the Father, before the world was formed.

1 JOHN 4:9-10 (NKJV):
In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Yeshua (Jesus) was sent down to Earth from heaven, by God the Father, to be born into human flesh, live a perfect sinless life, and suffer and die to atone for the sins of mankind.

TWO FORMS, NOT TWO NATURES

nature:
The way that a person or animal behaves: the character or personality of a person or animal.[1]

Yeshua (Jesus) has existed in two forms: in His spirit form and His human flesh form.

To say that Yeshua (Jesus) has a ‘human nature’ stands in stark contradiction to His holy sinless nature. Yeshua (Jesus) has one nature, a divine nature.

THE DIVINE NATURE OF YESHUA (JESUS)

JOHN 14:9 (NKJV):
“He who has seen Me has seen the Father…”

2 PETER 1:2-4 (NKJV):
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Yeshua (Jesus) our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the DIVINE NATURE…

HEBREWS 4:15 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
For we do not have a High Priest [YESHUA (JESUS)] who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses [HUMAN NATURE], but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

Monophysitism is a doctrinal theology that rightly proclaims that Yeshua (Jesus) has only one nature – the divine. The Scriptures do not proclaim that Yeshua (Jesus) had a human nature, but do say that He sympathized with our fallen-state human nature. To say Yeshua (Jesus) has two natures, a divine nature and a human nature, because He existed as the Son of God and as the Son of Man, is theologically wrong. Fallen man struggles with two natures: a spiritually righteous nature and a carnal sinful nature (Romans 7:13-25). Declaring that Yeshua (Jesus) has two natures is an attack on His divinity and holiness. Yeshua (Jesus) maintained one holy divine nature, in His human form, throughout all His life on Earth as the Messiah – the Son of Man.
