Guess again, Judy. Just because you can count to two is no evidence that "dualism" has occurred. Dualism, when applied to human nature, is not a characteristic count. That Christ is wholly God and wholly Man is not a dualism. It is a statement of who Christ Incarnate is (He is still the Incarnate Christ, you know -- but with a glorified body.) He has reconcilied all things in the body of His flesh --------- wholly Man and wholly God are wholly reconciled in the body of His flesh -------------- If they were opposing forces, Son of God versus Son of Man, you might have a point. And they were opposing forces until Christ. But they have been reconciled.
A few days ago, I liken this to a glass of juice stirred together with a glass of water. In the stirring, in that confusion, the two substances become indistinguishable!! A very poor illustration. God and Man are reconsiled in Christ - they do not loose their distinctiveness. They now work together as man and God were intended. See G's earlier but brief post on this. Profoundly simple - profoundly so. [myth (acc to Moses, God & Man are originally family, not categorically polar opposites]
