Eternal Oneness and Human Redemption

The mysterious eternal ONENESS that exist between the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is way beyond our comprehension.

"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
(1 John 5:7)

This mysterious eternal oneness was ripped apart at Calvary for our redemption. If you rip a shirt that causes damage. Damage happened in the Godhead, when the Second Person of the beloved Godhead was made sin and separated from the Father.

This is why Christ nearly died in Gethsemane because He NEVER experienced separation from the Father. Divinity within had a capacity to suffer way greater than humanity without, therefore His humanity could not bear it and if the Father would not have sent Gabriel the Spirit of Prophecy said He would have died!

Jesus told the disciples as He was approaching Gethsemane to pray for Him because He was so under agony because He was about to die SEPARATED FROM HIS FATHER!

"Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, EVEN UNTO DEATH: tarry ye here, and watch with me." (Matthew 26:36‭-‬38)

The thought of ETERNAL SEPARATION almost killed Him before He even made it to the cross. This is how close They are and ever will be. We are told that the separation that took place at Calvary will NEVER Happen again through ceaseless ages.

Because of natural immortality and eternal self-existence of Deity, Jesus was able to rise from the dead. It was impossible for Divinity within to die. Since Deity is not subject to death God had to wrap His divinity which possesses natural immortality in humanity which is mortal in order to accomplish the sacrifical death on calvary.

It took the two natures to accomplish human Redemption. It took a divine nature and the human nature blended to make atonement for human transgression. If He was just a human and not Deity He would have not been able to rise from the dead after paying the full penalty of sin. And if He was not a human but only Deity, He would not have been able to even die. So Divinity needed humanity so humanity can die to satisfy the claims of the Divine Law. After paying the full penalty of the divine law, His divinity within would enable Him to come out of eternal destruction and rise from the dead.

"Was the human nature of the Son of Mary changed into the divine nature of the Son of God? No; the two natures were mysteriously blended in one person—the man Christ Jesus. In Him dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. When Christ was crucified, it was His human nature that died. Deity did not sink and die; that would have been impossible." (SDA Commentary Volume 5 p. 113
