我们不能认为耶稣是两种位格,一种上帝的位格,一种人的位格,在同一个身体里走来走去。因为反映圣经教导的迦克墩信经说,尽管耶稣有二性two natures,他却是一个位格is one person 。 正如我们曾经看过的那样,这两性不混淆,不改变。但它们也不分开或分离。耶稣在一个位格里行事说话。John M Frame
we should not think of Jesus as two persons walking around in the same body, one divine, one human. For the Chalcedonian Formula, reflecting the biblical teaching, says that although Jesus has two natures, he is one person. As we saw, the natures are without confusion and without change. But they are also without division or separation. Jesus acts and speaks as one person.

John 1:1.In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.2.He was in the beginning with God.3.All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
A young person once asked me, “If couples don’t live together before marriage, how can they truly understand each other’s personality and habits? Does that mean couples should stay in separate rooms even when traveling? Why are Christians so old-fashioned and rigid?”
In truth, Christians are not being old-fashioned or rigid. Instead, we regard sexual intimacy as a sacred gift established by God. Sex is not something casual or experimental—it is designed to be shared exclusively with the one person we love most deeply, within the covenant of marriage.
Let me ask you this: if you were married, would you be okay with your spouse being sexually involved with someone else? Nearly everyone would say no. Why? Because deep down, we know that sex represents complete personal commitment. It is a deep union of body, mind, and spirit, exclusively reserved for two people in a holy covenant.
This is why Christians choose not to engage in premarital sex or live together before marriage. It’s not due to being conservative or traditional, but because we believe sex is a sacred gift from God, exclusively reserved for marriage.
Consider this example: imagine you’re a woman pursued by two men. One has lived with multiple partners and been sexually active before marriage. The other has chosen to wait and remain pure, keeping himself for his future wife. Which one would you trust more to be faithful and dependable in a lifelong relationship?
Likewise, if you’re a man and you’re drawn to two women—one who has had many previous partners and tends to become physically involved before commitment, and another who has chosen to protect her purity, waiting to give herself only to the one she truly loves—who would you feel more confident entrusting your life to as a faithful and godly wife?
Our culture often tells us to “try things out,” to “test the relationship” before commitment, as though marriage needs a trial period. But have you ever considered that if you approach a relationship with a “let’s see if it works” attitude, you’re not really prepared to give full commitment, responsibility, or sacrifice?
True love is willing to wait. It values purity—for the sake of the other. Real commitment is found within marriage, where two people fully entrust themselves to each other rather than first possessing and then deciding.
Therefore, when a man faithfully waits, honoring God with his body, and on his wedding night joins with his wife for the first time, he can say with integrity, “In my entire life, I have known only one woman’s body—and it is yours.” This expresses the deepest respect for marriage and the most genuine commitment to love.
Sex is not something to be shared lightly. It is a holy gift, created by God for the most intimate union within marriage—a sacred bond of love and lifelong trust.
