DesiringGod says...
John 8:28... Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
TRINITARIANS, since you say Jesus' two natures are distinct...
1) Does "I" in John 8:28 refer to Jesus fully God, or to Jesus fully man, or to both?
2) Does "my" in John 8:28 refer to Jesus fully God, or to Jesus fully man, or to both?
3) Does "me" in John 8:28 refer to Jesus fully God, or to Jesus fully man, or to both?
P.S.
Contrary to Trinitarians, I believe there is ONLY ONE transcendent omniscient Person, YHWH (GOD).
Here is a summary of what I believe...
GOD is spirit and is the only one who is eternal. GOD is also in the universe as spirit and as a human. GOD in the universe as spirit is called the Spirit of God, GOD in the universe as a human is called the Son of God, and eternal GOD is called God the Father.
There are five main truths with which the creed of Chalcedon summarized the biblical teaching on the Incarnation:
1. Jesus has two natures — He is God and man.
2. Each nature is full and complete — He is fully God and fully man.
3. Each nature remains distinct.
4. Christ is only one Person.
5. Things that are true of only one nature are nonetheless true of the Person of Christ.
