dentify the source of the following quote: "We must not divide the one Lord Jesus Christ into two sons [Son of God and son of man]. Nor is it sufficient for sound doctrine merely to hold a union of [two] persons, as some do [Nestorius]. For Scripture says not that the Word united himself to the person of a man, but that he was made flesh. That means nothing else than that he partook of flesh and blood like us. He made our body his own, not ceasing to be God."

Cyril of Jerusalem.

Explanation:

Cyril of Jerusalem is the source of this quote. Cyril of Jerusalem was a theologian who is now venerated as a saint by some churches. This quote is part of The Epistle of Cyril to Nestorius with the XII. Anathematisms. He is saying that it is not right to see Jesus Christ as two different men. He is like us, body and flesh and is still God.
