81. The Mystery... It is hard for us to understand that God could take on full humanity and still be God.

He had a dual nature unlike any other person in history....Christ had a 'Dual Nature'

82. The Mystery... Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. John 10:32-33...Christ had a 'Dual Nature'

83. The Mystery... By understanding Christ's dual nature we can comprehend scriptures that would not make sense otherwise. When reading about Christ we often must take into account whether the passage is referring to His humanity or His Deity (flesh or spirit). For example: As a man, Christ prayed. As God he answered prayers....Christ had a 'Dual Nature'
