Jesus is God the Son. And yes He was crucified. Jesus is not unstable so He can switch between being human like sinners are, and then be like God at some other time.
Satan is not as stupid as you seem to think. He could fool you in a twinkling of an eye as long as you remain ignorant of sound doctrine to counter think with.Because Satan is stupid with evil.
Hebrews 4:15 >If he was incapable of sin - if he cannot be tempted - then he gains no understanding of what it is to be human. A person incapable of error is not a role model or example for people to follow.
I offer > Jesus spiritually can be only one nature. But He lived in a physical body that was human. Hebrews 4:14-15 says Jesus became a partaker of flesh and blood, like humans, but it does not say He ever changed to or shared in our sinful nature or our ability to sin.Jesus has two natures. Fully God. And, fully man. In an unique union.
That is why some called him, "son of David."
Hebrews 4:15 >
"For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin." (Hebrews 4:15)
To be "tempted" can mean to be tested.
You are saying that Jesus could get no understanding of what it is to be human; yet, Jesus did not sin; so Jesus never experienced how it is to give in to sin . . . to be ruled by "the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience" > in Ephesians 2:2. But Jesus does know how we are in our sinning, even though Jesus has never sinned; plus, Jesus has gone through things which we have gone through but He did not sin. Because in His character Jesus is almighty and all how love is, by nature, meaning how God is in love.
And God's grace almighty made Jesus able to succeed so well. This is our example to follow > to submit to God in His grace almighty with His creativity for how to love each and every person while being pleasing to our Father. We can love while not being hurt and not giving in to temptations, if we follow the example of Jesus.
And how Jesus loved on the cross is our example >
"And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma." (Ephesians 5:2)
So, you can see what I mean. Yes, Jesus was tempted, but He did not give in. And being tempted does not automatically mean you can give in to a temptation.Jesus possesses two natures in a hypostatic union.
Being "tempted" is not a sin. Giving into the temptation is sin.
God's word says God saw His creation and that is was "very good". So, no Adam was not a sinner, at first. But Jesus says only God is good, right? So, I understand that God's word means Adam was good as a creature, but not how our Creator Jesus is.Adam was not created by God as a sinner.
Yes, Jesus was tested, but this does not mean He could give in to the testing. You can test what is sure to fail because of its nature or construction. And you can test in order to verify that something will pass the test; Jesus was tested and our Father already knew the outcome.Jesus became as Adam was before Adam fell. Sinless and capable of being tested by temptation.
In theory, I suppose, he could have, but he didn't.Could Adam have not sinned when tempted?
So, you can see what I mean. Yes, Jesus was tempted, but He did not give in. And being tempted does not automatically mean you can give in to a temptation.
Now, I have offered what I have about Jesus Christ's real nature, and I have offered scripture.
But I have not seen any scripture which directly says what you are claiming, including about some "hypostatic union". I am aware there are various people who claim this, but have they given a quote from scripture?
