 One way to explain the human and divine in Christ is to say He was God
 living in a human house.  In other words, He had two distinct natures
 unified not in substance but only in purpose, action and appearance
 (Nestorianism).  This view implies that Christ is divided into two persons,
 and the human person could have existed in the absence of the divine.

 Mike:
 I think I believe in this statement up until the last sentence (that part
seems to sound more like what you believe unless I am mistaken).  Also where
it says, "Two distinct natures," I think that is a little too strong for me. I
*do* feel that is close to right.
 
 Bro.  Shaw:
 Clearly, understanding Christ as a mere man so separate from God is not the
official Oneness position.

  Mike:
 "Official Oneness position"?  Please clarify this part.
