Orthodox/mainstream Christianity divides Jesus into two natures to address the contradictions in Scripture that the Trinity Doctrine creates. As Channing brilliantly put it: "We complain of the doctrine of the Trinity, that, not satisfied with making God three beings, it makes Jesus Christ two beings, and thus introduces infinite confusion into our conceptions of his character. This corruption of Christianity, alike repugnant to common sense and to the general strain of Scripture, is a remarkable proof of the power of a false philosophy in disfiguring the simple truth of Jesus." This book has 11 contributions from those in the past that have questioned the validity of the Doctrine of Two Natures in Christ.
