  Comment:

  At the three Ecumenical Councils, the Third, Fourth, and Sixth, devoted to the unfolding of the doctrine of the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ, it was finally affirmed and established by ecclesiastical authority that the Lord Jesus Christ is Perfect God and Perfect Man, possessing the Divine will (and action) according to the Divine nature and the human will (and action) according to the human nature (with the human will being completely subordinate to the Divine will).

  The image of the union of natures is expressed in the Chalcedonian Definition in the words:

  Inseparable and unchangeable (or immutable). The divine and human natures in Christ do not merge or turn one into the other.

  Inseparable, inseparable. The two natures are united forever, not forming two persons, only morally united, as Nestorius taught.

  They are inseparable from the moment of conception (not first man was formed and then God was joined, but God the Word came into the bosom of Mary the Virgin and formed for Himself an animated human body). They are inseparable during the Saviour's sufferings on the cross, and at the moment of death, and at the resurrection, and at the ascension, and after the ascension, and forever and ever. The Lord Jesus Christ will also come in deified body at His second coming.
