Stuart did say that "Christ is a human person". Yet Christ is a divine person. Ergo: two persons (one human and one divine). Where am I going wrong?  I am an Irish person. I am an over 6 foot tall person. Am I two persons? Would I be less Irish if I were 5'8"? hawk

Actually, I think you are too tall to be Irish, who, statistically, are the shortest people in Europe, averaging just 5'7" for men and 5'2" for women (the Dutch, for what it's worth, are statistically the tallest). So, if you were 5'8", I think you would be more, not less Irish.

Yikes. I suppose I could explain away the Hamilton strain as actually being Scottish, but names like "Cornelius Maloney" and "Frances Foley" are a bit harder. There's a big faily scandal coming up . . .

New figures: the Irish are up to 5'9", but the Dutch have risen to 6'1".

No, there are not two persons in Christ (and Stuart did not say that there are). There are two natures united in one person. Stuart did say that "Christ is a human person". Yet Christ is a divine person. Ergo: two persons (one human and one divine). Where am I going wrong? Cheryl It's a good thing to seek greater understanding about something, but I don't think this always works in matters of faith. Maybe you are going wrong by trying to comprehend how Christ could be both divine and human. I personally can't understand how this could be possible. It's a mystery. I don't have to understand it, I just believe it's true. I learned from my parents & grandparents to rely more on faith than reason, so that's how I operate. I do hope you'll soon experience some enlightenment on your question. Blessings on your day, Doro
