speratus asks:
The second statement indicates why Calvinists view any representation of Christ as a violation of the second commandment. However, the first statement says there is no communication of properties. So how can the "glory of God" shine visually in "the face of Jesus Christ" (so that we can not make any visual representation of it)?
I don't mean to answer for my brother here, but it seems rather odd to me that you would ask this question after I personally replied to this and provided to you the full text of the "Chalcedon Creed", which is a definitive statement concerning the two natures of Jesus Christ and their relationship to each other. You cannot separate nor intermix the two natures which exist in the Lord Christ. They are to be recognized as independent of each other, yet co-existent. Further, it is the one man within which these two natures dwell and which distinguish Him from every other creature. In short, the Lord Jesus Christ would not be what He is if either of the two natures is removed and/or diminished. Thus as Chalcedon rightly states, He was both God and man simultaneously in the ONE PERSON and forever shall be.

I hope this clears up your confusion. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
