Did Jesus decompose?

[The Grand Nudger]

I'm glad you're fine now, btw. I wasn't aware you suffered from DID and wasn't referencing a specific person at all. I apologize if you took that as an attack on you and anything you've gone through. I would never use someone's personal hardships as leverage or lie for anyone, especially Christ. I was simply illustrating that physiological differences in DID personality's hosts show that 2 distinct entities can exist in what we perceive as one "host". Which was only to illustrate that being 100% man and 100% God are not mutually exclusive as a concept because a very real modern concept that is similar exists.

The two things remain completely dissimilar, with the one offering no insight on the other.  

As to schisms, introspection does cause fracturing typically, but we wouldn't want to be seen as blinding following a doctrine. We can't work on improvement without introspection and we can't be divisive, but we can't follow blindly forever and be unified. Guess it's the rock and the hard place.

Or there could be a group of believers that appreciate and respect difference as a necessary part of God's plan and have unity services regularly with other denominations to rally their people around the concept of knowing what you believe and why, and appreciating someone's differing perspective and focusing on the common ground you share and getting on with serving the community instead of bickering over differences.

Fact time. I didn't grow up Catholic so the apostle's creed, Nicene creed weren't really taught. In fact very little, if any denominational or ecumenical creeds ever played into my formative learning. Definitely not the earlier creeds of the Didache, Synod of Antioch, Apostolic constitutions, etc. Neither were Judaic formative beliefs included, or other denominations belief differences. Most of the formative training I went through was "He's got the whole world, in His hands", verse memorization and a few skits and Bible stories. I believe in the concept of 100% God/100% man, because I've researched the arguments from both sides and been persuaded that it is true because it seems the most supported, doesn't exceed viability and fits neatly with my understanding of the operation and character of Christ and God.

You not growing up catholic doesn't have any effect on the historical facts of christian development.  The reason that it seems "most supported", to you..today, is directly and only because of these political negotiations in the past. It could have gone another way, and the propaganda mill would have come up with "support" for whatever version of christianity that would have been, and here you would be making the same statements about that other thing. We're talking about a body of faith that both manufactured and rewrote history in their favor more than a few times and over centuries.

Your idea of a body of believers who think that difference is a necessary part of gods plan, for example, was manufactured in living memory..and, as ever, explicitly toward the end of political gain. Just a single generation ago there weren;t "christians" - there were catholics and baptists and methodists and presbys. That diluted the power of faith at the ballot box and there was a sense that the levers of authority were slipping away from them on account of their traditional infighting.
