Quote about Nestorian Atonement statements of G.H. Clark. But alarmingly in recent years similar statements have been made by R.C. Sproul, and many others, but most especially in sermons and teachings by reformed theologians about the true doctrine of Divine Immutability of which Impassibility is a subset.
It seem abundantly clear that misunderstandings about the Immutably of God, including Impassibility which is a subset of it, is driving reformed theologians into a Nestorian Atonement heresy.
Quote ==>
" Clark’s doctrine is the boldest, most advanced Nestorianism, suffering fatally, from the weaknesses because of which the church rejected Nestorianism — its failure to unite the two natures of the Savior and its inability to unify the work of redemption.
As though it clinches his argument that Christ is also a human person,
Clark repeatedly raises the question, “Who suffered and died in the suffering and death of Jesus?”
"On the cross Jesus said, ’I thirst.’
No trinitarian Person could have said this because the Three Persons are pure incorporeal spirits .
Who then, or what, thirsted on the cross?’ (p.73).
"Let us then take it for granted that God cannot die.
Now, if Christ be one divine person, no person was crucified and died. What then died on the cross?" (p. 69)
Clark supposes that Chalcedonian orthodoxy has
no answer to this question.
Clark is mistaken. "

Jesus' Limited Human Nature and Infinite Divine Wrath and Suffering
I have a question that I’m not sure if there’s an answer to. Since Jesus’ passive obedience was performed in his human nature, how could he have endured infinite wrath if his human nature is finite? I understand Jesus had infinite value as a person, but my question is how he could have suffered...
