Miaphysites Recognize Dual Nature in One Complex. Like Shampoo two in One))

Cyril of Alexandria, as far as I understand, does not contradict the Miaphysites

St Cyril of Alexandria “Even though it says there were two birds, however, we are certainly not saying that we understand there to be two Christ’s.This concept brings us to a learned and necessary theory.For bore the flesh of the holy Virgin, and was indeed composed, as it were, of two, by which I mean his heavenly nature and his human nature, in a way that is ineffable and beyond understanding. Notwithstanding, the Lord Jesus Christ is one. The account, then, in these two birds gives consideration to the coming together of two into one.”(St Cyril, Glaphyra on the Pentateuch, (CPG-5201 Patrologia Graeca (Migne)69, 560)

Let me ask you a question my friend.

Is the humanity nature of the Lord is divine (meaning after the incarnation)?

Humanity became humanity. Divinity became divinity. #stopmonophysitesophistry

This is a famous Monophysite. He lied by the way when he wanted to join our Orthodox chat.

His human nature retained its human property even after the Union.

Quick note: you say, "Considering that the Greek 'Fusei' is also said in the plural, St. Melito here explicitly states that Christ has a plurality of natures." "Fusei" is not plural, though; it is the dative singular. I'm not sure whether you were intending to say otherwise or not (I'm not totally sure what you mean by the claim that it's "also said" in the plural), but figured I'd mention it.

It's still two natures even it says one nature because gramaticaly it is to be read as two
