FK: "So, then the nature of a man and the divine nature are equal in your eyes?"

Of course not! But God created man in His image and likeness so that he may be in perfect communion with God. By God's Design, man's nature is in perfect harmony with God's nature. By man's fall (from grace), it is no longer so.

I was responding to your statement:

Trumping His own will would be unthinkable in a perfect union of two natures in one Person of our Savior.

It just sounded to me like you were equating the natures. If I understand you, Adam's originally created nature was much less than Christ's? If so, that's why I said that, in Christ, the divine nature overrode the human nature that included the capacity to sin.

Negative! His two natures are never in conflict with each other, so there is no need for the divine to "override" the human. Human nature was created to be in berfect harmony with God.

What you are preaching is not Christianity.
