I have been in long discussions with some dear Christians about the impassibility of God and how in His divine essence God does not have anger as a proper quality of His being. I do not wish to discuss that issue in that I have seen that most (including most reformed church members and I suspect many RE's and deacons) mistake that issue in that they redefine "passions" as stated, or at least understood, by those who drafted the WCF. Along with Our Lord God's impassibility the discussion of how the word "condescend" is used in the confession. I am amazed how most confuse the incorrect teaching of Barth with the orthodox teaching that states God is "wholly other" or any other type of phrase that says God is a different "class of being" which we as humans will never comprehend in any way other than through condescension.
So is their a resource that discusses how Jesus took on a human nature, which includes a human soul, and how this would show that the human soul or spirit is not the same as God's Spirit? The reason I ask is because the mistaken idea that when God created Adam and Eve in His "image and likeness" this is used against the orthodox teaching of God's being is in some way the same as our human soul.
