All goats have a goat nature, but not all goats are somehow one goat.Well if the son of goat is goat and,
the son of horse is horse and,
the son of man is man, then
the son of God is _________?
Ditto for a horse or a man. Why any different for Jesus?
An offspring indeed has the nature of it's parents, but it is never it's own parent. Jesus is the son, God is the father. Therefore they can't be one person any more than all the goats that ever lived are really one goat.
2Pet 1:4,
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
As sons and daughters of God, we share in the divine nature, since father always passes his own nature to his offspring. Jesus also had the same divine nature (in fact, he was the first to have it), but that didn't make him God any more than it makes us God. It makes us both children of the one true God. What a privilege it is!
1John 3:2,
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
1Pet 1:23,
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
Heb 2:11,
For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified [are] all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Jesus was made just like us.
Heb 2:17,
Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things [pertaining] to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Whatever Jesus was, we are.
