No, I am saying that your linking soul (or mind) with person confuses the category of nature and person, which leads to the conclusion of two persons (or prosopa) of the Logos.

How else should on link the soul unless to that of a person? Edit...I can say the soul is linked to a body but sometimes the soul is no longer in the body when the body dies.

Linking the soul to the person is fine. Making a 1:1 identity statement is not.

Why not? I think you may have stated why before, but one more time for me in language I will understand. :)

Because if Person = Mind, and Jesus has two minds (which we haven't affirm to avoid the Apollinarian heresy), then we have two Persons of Jesus, which is Nestorian.

What word is missing here? :)

"which we haven't affirm to avoid the Apollinarian heresy"

OK. So what I am saying is that Jesus took on a human mind which means he took on human personhood, while still retaining His divinity personally.

That....could work, as long as we are saying it is a single divine Person who is assuming the rest, with the end result being still a single divine Person.

Taking on human personhood is fine, as long as it doesn't mean taking on one more person.
