Contradiction? Or paradox?
Also, God did not assume all humanity. He assumed human nature in one person. In any event If Jesus is God then he was both human and divine, both omniscient and not omniscient, was he not? Thus the two natures are united in the person. But what effect does that unity have on the natures? Was not his human nature changed at his resurrection? Did it not become immortal and incorruptible? And are those not properties of divinity? And thus is not hus human nature NOW "divine" in some sort?
Is the divine nature distinguishable from the divine person? Not merely semantically but ontologically?
And finally, exactly how many angels can dance on the head of a pin? lol
