So which is it? Earlier, you said Jesus always has 2 natures. Then you said Jesus has only 1 nature.
Please explain.

To be a Christian is to have the Spirit of Christ. Romans 8:9: “You . . . are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.”
So, no one is a Christian if he does not have the Holy Spirit. Then in Ephesians 5:18, Paul addresses Christians who have the Holy Spirit. And we know that, by the way, because in chapter 1 he said, “You [my readers] . . . were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory” (Ephesians 1:13–14). Then he says in Ephesians 5:18–20,
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but [you Christians, who already have the Spirit] be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
In other words, being filled with the Spirit is a level or a quality of Spirit-empowering that sometimes is more, and sometimes less. For example, in Acts 4:31, it says that the Christians had gathered for prayer, “And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.”
So, one of the effects of this extraordinary, precious, sweet, powerful, unusual experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit is that we are more ready and free and bold in our witness to Christ. Or according to Ephesians 5, we are more ready, more free, more eager to overflow with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs and giving thanks to God.
Having the Holy Spirit marks one off as a Christian. You can’t be a Christian if you don’t have the Spirit. There are no Christians who don’t have the Holy Spirit. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is what all believers should seek to experience for the sake of the wonderful, Christ-exalting freedom and boldness and power that it brings.
“So, how do you know if you have the Holy Spirit?” he asks. And I’m responding, “You know you have the Spirit if you are, in fact, a Christian — if you have been born again.”

“In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.” Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

So the first fully God has 2 natures, and the second fully God has 1 nature.
Are they equal?
There are only 1 God, 3 persons sharing the same divine nature. Yes. They are all equal

Relatedly, neither God the Father nor God the Holy Spirit died on the cross. The Trinity was not all of a sudden in disarray, confused, conflated, separated, or out of order. The Father sent the Son; he did not send himself. The Holy Spirit was active in the incarnation at conception, but did not himself put on flesh.

How many Muslims convert to Christianity?
In a televised interview on Al-Jazeera in 2001, he stated that every hour, 667 Muslims convert to Christianity. That adds up to 16,000 per day, or approximately 6 million per year—in Africa alone. While the numbers have been debated, no one can deny the broader trend of conversions from Islam to Christianity.13 May 2025

No, Jesus didn’t sin. As the Incarnate Word, the eternal God who became man, Jesus was incapable of sin. If Jesus sinned or was vulnerable to sin, he would have shown himself either conquered by or vulnerable to an outside force, because he would not be omnipotent (all-powerful) to overcome that outside force and thus not eternal God.
St. Paul illustrates that anger itself can be virtuous and therefore not necessarily sinful: “Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,and give no opportunity to the devil” (Ephesians 4:26-27).
In the outer court of the Jerusalem Temple, which was open to Gentile pilgrims, merchants sold sacrificial animals and exchanged foreign currency so that Jewish pilgrims could pay the Temple tax. However, the merchants inflated the price of the animals and cheated on currency exchanges, impeding the worship of both Jews and Gentiles, the former because of overpriced animal offerings and unjust exchange rates, and the latter because of the scandal those actions gave them. Recall that Isaiah prophesied that all one would one day gather at the Temple for prayer, including the Gentiles (Isa. 56:3-8).
So Jesus righteously rebukes the money-changers, because the Temple is a sanctuary of worship, not a place for financial profit (Matt. 21:12-17; John 2:13-22; see CC583-84).

He had been "tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin." (Hebrews 4:15) Listen to God's Word lah!
