I don’t know if I understand CynicalBear and other’s take on the humanity of Jesus but it seems to me they are claiming the two natures of Christ human and divine acted separately and were distinct one from the other.

I can’t recall the name of this heresy but am pretty sure it was refuted by St.Anathasius.

Catholics really need to understand what their own church teaches before discussing issues they are unclear on. Here, I’ll help you.

The church council that met in Chalcedon in A.D. 451 produced one of the most complete statements of this doctrine. It reads in part: "Our Lord Jesus Christ is one and the same God, perfect in divinity, and perfect in humanity, true God and true human ... Christ, Son, Lord, Only-begotten, manifested in two natures without any confusion, change, division or separation. The union does not destroy the difference of the two natures, but on the contrary the properties of each are kept, and both are joined in one person" (Justo L. Gonzalez, The Story of Christianity, volume 1, HarperSanFrancisco, 1984).

Please don’t give us the heresy crap.

Sorry but you'll have to do better than that...Your Anathasius didn't refute anything...Disagreeing with something is not refuting it...
