The word nature simple refers to a set of qualities and or attributes that makes you whatever kind of being you are. ALL things have nature and nature defines what kind of being anything is
So because God has the Divine nature we know He is the Divine being...God
You have a human nature so you are a human being.
The issue wasn't whether or not Jesus was a human being but that you seem to make of His two natures two persons (Nestorianism)

Lol, seems we are talking in circles, Prax, which we usually do. And, once again, I do sincerely appreciate you educating me, since I must not know what being human is.
Ok, so we agree that Jesus was human. Apparently, He was a different type of human than us, however, since if I understand you correctly, he could not sin.
So.....now, I'm on the horns of a dilemma.
Jesus had a human nature, which made him human. Humans were born into sin from their mother's wombs, according to the scriptures. Yet, Jesus "knew no sin", but became sin for us.
He was "tempted in all points like as we, yet without sin".
So, the question remains - could Jesus have sinned? If so, He was truly human.
Was it impossible for him to sin? If so, he wasn't truly human.
That's all I'll say on the subject, label me however you want.
To be honest, anything that any of us say is pure speculation........if we make it to heaven, maybe we can ask Him when we get there!
