Both the Father and the Son are equal in nature, for their nature is the one eternal God.

So the Father is pure spirit and the Son is pure spirit.
But so that he could suffer death on the cross, the Son was born as a human.

But in being made a man the Son did not give up being God.
The Son always is God.
Thus the Son is always pure spirit like the father and so they are in unity of "substance' at all times.

So this is why Christians believe that Jesus Christ has TWO NATURES.....
Jesus is both 100% God and 100% man.

Jesus is in unity with on the substance issue with the Father forever
and Jesus is in unity with me on the substance issue as both Jesus and I are fully human.
Still does not explain why the Bible has Jesus as flesh and bone, and the Creeds have both the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as the "****ousious"(same substance) God.
