Does the Bible really teach a dual nature of Christ? Notice that he did his miracles by the Father dwelling in him and he dwelling in the Father? So his miracles did not come from his divine attributes. It seems more likely that those were left behind in the Incarnation, in the Kenosis. So he was still deity always by his divine identity as the Logos. That Logos spirit was transformed into a man's spirit, but his identity stayed the same. This idea of two natures is really Nestorian and gives us a hybrid Jesus, but that is not what the Scripture shows us. Notice this text, Acts 10:38, "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him." God the Father did his work by the Holy Spirit in Jesus. Amen?
Hello
Philippians 2 is most likely a comparison with Adam
Modern scholars acknowledge this
Adam was in the image of God
Instead of humbling himself
He grasped at equality with God by eating the fruit (you will be like God!)
Because of this he was kicked out of the garden and died
Jesus was in the image of God
Instead of grasping at equality with God he humbled himself as a servant
And obeyed all the way to the point of death
Because of this God has highly exalted him
This is from the University of St. Thomas:
“A second group of biblical scholars argues that in Phil 2:6-11 Paul (or whoever authored the hymn) was not describing a pre-existent, divine being but rather the earthly Jesus of Nazareth. These scholars generally interpret the periscope as exhibiting a "Second Adam" Christology. According to this Christology, the earthly Jesus described in the hymn did not have equality with God. Christ made a choice - unlike the Adam of Genesis - not to grasp at equality with God, but to be obedient to God by accepting death.”
So even some scholars don’t view this the same
Jesus is the Messiah
The Son of God
The Son of David
The Son of man
The man God has chosen to be his anointed king
The man God will judge the world through
The man God raised from the dead
Jesus will return and rule the nations with believers in the kingdom of God on the earth
Jesus has a God
There is no triune god in scripture
Jesus said the Father is the only true God!
John 17
3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

Acts 3
13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Servant Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.
14 But ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted unto you,
15 and killed the Prince of life; whom God raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
I appreciate your thoughts.
well, it seems Jesus is not God after all.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ... The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. -John 1: 1,14
I and the Father are one. -John 10: 30
Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas replied, “My Lord and my God!” -John 20: 27-28
Stop doubting and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, that you may have eternal life.
God bless you.
