The Incarnation

I am sure that I will fall far short of a complete analysis, but as clumsy as I might be in this explanation I feel compelled, to present the following observations concerning the incarnation: Upon the moment of conception, two species (deity and humanity) commingled in the womb of Mary: two separate and distinct ousie commingled. I say commingled, because it was not as simple as the man Christ Jesus being formed and then God entering that man. No, the incarnation was a commingling of humanity and deity. Mary conceived: The seed of the "woman" and the "word" commingled in her womb, in the same sense that the DNA of two parents, in the natural process, would commingle.
Now, when a human fetus is formed in the female womb, the baby that is produced is a biological composite of both parents in that 23 chromosomes from each parent merge to form one complete cell of 46 chromosomes, from which come the complete person: body, soul and spirit -- this includes the blood of both parents that is now replicated in the fetus. We must think just so of Mary's conception. In this line of reasoning, every aspect of the physical and spiritual being of Jesus is commingled with deity and humanity. So, then, the Word was made flesh, and the flesh the Word; the Spirit of God commingling with the spirit of the man, Jesus Christ. All of Jesus is God and man in every aspect of His being (including His blood). The Wonderfull mystery is that His deity and humanity remain distinct one from each other. There is a very real sense that the physical body of Jesus was both God and man. We say, 100% God and 100% man. In a very real sense His Spirit is the Spirit of God and the spirit of man. We say 100% God and 100% man. In His entire being, Jesus is just as much God is though He were not man and just as much man as though He were not God. Further, although the ousia of God and the ousia of man are consubstantiated together as one person they remain separate and distinct from each other; so that one ousia may act or be acted upon with the action not being communicated to the other nature.
Now, this must be stated clearly so that none misunderstand: the deity of Jesus is homoousia with the Father, as the Creed of Nicæa clearly established. Though the person of the Son is but one Son of God, not two sons of God, the humanity of Christ is not homoousious with the deity. So that, in Christ, there exists a dichotomy between the His deity and His humanity – mystery of mysteries.

We are aware that some will charge us with believing in two Jesus-es, and brand us as Nestorians. Well, Nestorius had it right when he addressed the dual nature of Jesus. The mystery of the incarnation shouts to be recognized in the following reality: although Jesus of Nazareth is both God and man, and though the God nature and the human nature are not homoousious, he is but one single person, brought about from the commingling of two ousie. The mystery compounds further, in that the one person, that is Jesus in His deity, is homoousious with the Father. Yet, in His one person as the man Christ Jesus, He is not homoousious with the Father and only hom-oi-ousious with us men. Nestorius had the courage of his convictions. So do we, in the incarnation, Jesus is both God and man. On the cross the man suffered and died, God did neither. (Godhead Theology, pages 186-189)

It must be pointed out that Calvary was the cutting of a very real blood covenant; a legitimate covenant requires the blood of all contracting parties. Since the sacrifice of the Son of God on the cross did, in fact, facilitate the required covenant, the sacrifice, Himself, had to be the federal-head of both contracting parties: namely, God and man. The wonder of wonders, and the love of all loves: the creator God of the universe (the one who reached into his tunic and from his bosom flung stars and their solar systems into space) condescended to the human plane and subjective himself to generation in a virgin's womb, so that the blood shed on the brow of Golgotha would be the blood of God, as well as the blood of mankind (Acts 20:28). (Godhead Theology, page 312)
