Are you two in agreement on the doctrine of the Incarnation? Are you two disagreeing about that or about the view of the different Reformers?
I believe the disagreement is on the nature of the hypostatic union not the Trinity or the Incarnation. Perhaps Pilgrim could reference some articles to help you better understand the controvery.
Pilgrim,

And why don't you interact with my positive statements concerning the divine nature consisting of the 3 "Omni's"?
Yes, in Him dwells all fulness of the Godhead bodily: Omnipotence Mt 28:18. Omniscience Jn 21:17. Omnipresence Mt 18:20.

You unfortunately have the habit of quoting from Lutheran writers but rarely do you ever go to Scripture and EXEGETE relevant texts to support your view?
Being a simple layman yet being tasked by Christ to judge doctrine, I let the words of scripture speak for themselves. So I'll let Lutheran theologian Joel Gerlach exegete the revelant text from his "Of the Person of Christ: A Sermon Study on Colossians 2:8–10",

Because in Christ dwells bodily (swmatikw~v, corporeally) all the fulness of the Deity(qeo&thtov, abstract for qeo&v), and because (repeat the o#ti) in Him you have been made complete. And He,remember, is the One “who is the head of all rule and authority” (a)rxh=v kai\ e0cousi/av). So why look forsomething more? Why let anyone try to add to what the Savior offers when you are already complete in Him?“All the fulness of the Godhead” means exactly what it says. Fulness (to_ plh/rwma) includes all ofGod’s attributes without exception. They all dwell bodily in Jesus Christ, not only in the Son of God (FC, S.D.,57), but also in the Son of Man. Paul is asserting the divine mystery that the divine attributes katoikei= in Jesusbecause of and in connection with His human nature. The indwelling of the attributes is corporeal (Luther,leibhaftig), not merely spiritual, “not in the spirit of Christ alone, but in his whole human nature” (Lenski).In Christology this verse is one of the primary passages which offers evidence for the doctrine of thecommunication of the attributes. Our particular concern is with the genus maiestaticum, especially with thecommunication of the divine omnipresence to the human nature of Jesus Christ. The Nestorian/Zwinglian errorseparated the Deity of Christ (together with all the divine attributes) from the human nature (the sw~ma) ofChrist Jesus. Thus according to the Zwinglians, Jesus could not be present everywhere except in a spiritualsense to faith. That error obscures the truth that the body Jesus gave for us and the blood He shed for us on thecross redeemed us because all the fulness of the Godhead dwelt in that body and blood. His blood was “holy,precious blood” because it was divine blood.
