Hi Paul,
Now I understand your point a lot better.
I wish we could fix both the NT as well as the OT for this issue.
I have found one other issue as well, not so important, but it shows that some Hebrew words, historically were mistranslated.

True, Dylan, He is not a mixture, being unmixed...and, as you said, His two natures are distinct in their unity.
God can't die, because He is immortal, and eternal, yet, in His incarnate human body, The Word made flesh tasted death for every man, apart from His Deity/God, who is immortal.
So, if He is 100% Man, and 100% God...and His Deity and His Humanity are distinct in their unity, so then...which one was mortal and died on the Cross that day? The 100% Man did, apart from the 100% God, who did not.
Jesus was not a Human being before He was born into Humanity through His Mother Mary, yet, He, as The Word/Miltha, always existed as God, before He/The Word was manifested in Humanity, in the Person of Jesus the Messiah...The Word made flesh, who is the Son of God.
Shlama,
Chuck

Agreed. God Himself was the only one who could pay the price, and to do that He had to become a true man and live a truly perfect life. I am thankful for the cross! The Almighty YHWH God humbled Himself for us when the Miltha became flesh.
