Since the two natures of Jesus are joined in one person, when the person dies what would have happened to these natures? Tho divine nature cannot cease to exist. The human nature didn’t cease to exist. The two natures will be existing and these two are inseparably joined. There would be the person Jesus alive which I think not possible after His death and before resurrection. Now if the human nature alone ceased to exist, it then would cause separation of the two hypostatically joined natures which is again not possible as it makes the incarnation meaningless. So what is actually possible? Or what must have happened at crucifixion?

Please give some clarity on this. Any dogma on this? atleast give me some theologies.

Thank you.
 
Hi,

Your problem arises from assuming that the Person of Jesus in His divine nature died; it did not. The Person of Jesus has a divine nature that cannot die and a human nature that can and did. But even in His human nature He did not remain dead as Easter Sunday shows us.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
