And what makes that nature Divine? Aren't there characteristics, attributes, or natures that make up his Divine nature?
Natures that make up nature?
No there are charactoristics (plural) that are His Divine Nature (singular)
Again "nature" means "those charactoristics, qualities or attributes that makes someone or something whatever they are"

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Just as man has a evil nature, God has Divine nature. This goes with the 11th definition that I posted. You are sticking with #8 only.
I believe God can be defined under both definitions.

We are discussing THEOLOGY.
Wouldn't it be nice, when you said "God" the person you are talking to understood that you meant the creator in the bible and not the force from Star Wars? If we willy nilly pick whatever definition we want and disregard how the word is used normally in a theo (God)logical (study) context then it's pointless to even be here. This is why I keep explaining and rewording and defining things consistently the same over and over....
when you run into a Trinitarian who wants to discuss with you God and you keep using nature the way you want to and not the way most theologians or scholars do, then you are going to just miscommunicate with that person.
This is how these words are used in this sort of discussion. This is how they use them in Academia. It's really helpful when we can all understand what the other person is saying.
