The Two Natures of Christ are Distinct

"I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable." [I Corinthians 15:50, NIV]

"'For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways', declares the LORD." [Isaiah 55:8 NIV]

The Bible teaches that there is a total and permanent distinction between the Creator and the creation. God is transcendent and not dependent on the creation, but made it out of nothing. The blending of Creator and creature leads to the error of Pantheism, in which the creation is identified with God.

Even in the person of Jesus Christ, these two natures: the divine and human, coexisted "without conversion, composition or confusion", as the Westminster Confession of Faith states.
