“The flesh is flesh and not Godhead, even though it became the flesh of God; and similarly the Word is God and not flesh even if He made the flesh His very own in the economy. Given that we understand this, we do no harm to that concurrence into union when we say that it took place out of two natures. After the union has occurred, however, we do not divide the natures from one another, nor do we sever the one and indivisible into two sons, but we say that there is One Son, and as the holy Fathers have stated: One Incarnate Nature of The Word. As to the manner of the incarnation of the Only Begotten, then theoretically speaking (but only insofar as it appears to the eyes of the soul) we would admit that there are two united natures but only One Christ and Son and Lord, the Word of God made man and made flesh.”
Saint Cyril of Alexandria
