Let me see if I follow you. Son of God: Eternally begotten of the Father; immutable and impeccable? Son of Man: Created in time by the Son of God; mutable, and peccable? Jesus Christ: One person having two personalities?
<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/nope.gif" alt="" /> You have erred on two matters: 1) "Son of God" and "Son of Man" are synonymous; two terms which describe the same person from two perspectives. 2) "One person having two personalities".... There were two distinct NATURES, not personalities resident in the one Christ. Read the Creed of Chalcedon again!

If the saints were granted Impeccability through the merits of Christ, why was Christ granted Impeccability? It's a poor Savior who needs a Savior.

To which I responded:
Christ needed no Saviour!! Where in the world did you ever come up with that?? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/scratch1.gif" alt="" />

speratus replies with:
From you: "The Lord Christ, His human nature, was granted impeccability due to His perfect obedience to the law of God having fulfilled all things which the first Adam failed to do." If Christ needed to earn His Impeccability through a covenant of works, He was His own Savior.
Again, the human nature of Christ was not granted/endowed with impeccability until after He fulfilled all that the law required, which the first Adam failed to do, thus securing the redemption of the elect being a substitute for them.

speratus then asks:
So the Son of Man could earn mutation into Impecability? Where's that in scripture?
Nowhere...... He didn't "earn mutation into Impeccability". His human nature was granted/endowed with impeccability after the Lord Christ was resurrected and at His coronation, having accomplished all that He came to do; i.e., atonement for the elect.

In His grace,
