John E. McKinley on the Nestorianism Informing Much of the Beliefs Behind Christ being Impeccable

  

that the son’s impeccability was trumped by his human peccability, is a Nestorian sort of detachment of Christ’s human nature from his divine nature. Only by a division of his nature can such self-contradiction occur for the Godman to be peccable. Such separation and division between the two natures seem wrong and unnecessary for the way that undermines the unity of the Incarnation. (John E. McKinley, Tempted for Us: Theological Models and the Practical Relevance of Christ’s Impeccability and Temptation [Paternoster Theological Monographs; Eugene, Oreg.: Wipf and Stock, 2009], 215)
