In what way is the person Jesus separated from his body without it being Adoptionism, or Patripassionism. If Nestorianism is your thinking, than this too means God did not really assume humanity.

How about:

Luke 23:46:
"Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" And having said this he breathed his last."

Didn't Jesus die? It said he "breathed his last" -- does the commending of his spirit into the Father's hands denote a separation from his human nature? Or did his body vanish from the cross?

Well, that's not fair; Roman Catholics STILL have Christ crucified on the cross, at least that's what I see on every RCC crucifix.

If he wasn't separated, he didn't die; if he didn't die, our sins are not paid for.

Get it?

You're confusing nature with only the physical body. Jesus had a Human Will in union with His Divine Will.

When we die we are separated from our bodies, but though the flesh dies the nature of our humanity only experiences death which is separation of soul and body. The Humanity undergoes death, But We will also be resurrected in the flesh Just as Jesus restored his body in the resurrection.

At no time even in the tomb, was the death of Jesus a separation from his humanity.
