Jesus didn't become the Son of God when he took on human form,or when he was baptized or when he was crucified, but he always was he is the eternal Son of God. Jesus being the 2nd person of the Trinity took on a 2nd nature in human form.

John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

So there were two Jesus entities existing at the same time for approx 33 years. Norrrm Apr 2025 #9

No there is 1 Jesus, but that 1 Jesus has 2 nature standingtall Apr 2025 #10

Then there were two Jesus entities (natures) existing at the same time for approx 33 years. Norrrm Apr 2025 #11

The 2nd nature Jesus took on didn't disappear standingtall Apr 2025 #12

That's ok . There were two Jesus entities (natures) existing at the same time for approx 33 years. Norrrm Apr 2025 #13

The Trinity still existed from eternity though standingtall Apr 2025 #14

The Trinity was not in question. You have adequately shown that for 33 years, there were two Jesus entities. Norrrm Apr 2025 #15

That's not at all what is being said. TomSlick Apr 2025 #18

Refer back to 2 natures Norrrm Apr 2025 #19

I don't understand how having two natures means that there are two distinct persons. TomSlick Apr 2025 #20

Good sidetrack, pretending that Jesus having two natures is not true. Norrrm Apr 2025 #21

Vade in pace. TomSlick Apr 2025 #22
