Is the Lord Jesus Christ of two natures or one nature?

The Lord Jesus Christ: God + Man (without confusion, mixture, or transformation that involves the conversion of one nature into the other) = two natures = the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ. The two natures are clearly visible, for the holy apostles saw the body of the Lord Jesus Christ with their own eyes and witnessed the miracles of the Lord Jesus Christ with their own eyes. Thus, this statement is logical, orthodox, and reflects an undeniable truth in describing the Lord Jesus Christ. However, if someone comes along and tells us that the Lord Jesus Christ is God with a body, or that He is a man (without confusion, mixture, or transformation that involves the conversion of one nature into the other), and then continues, "The Person of the Lord Jesus is only one divine nature," then this person is speaking without saying anything. Simply speaking of only one nature for the Lord Jesus is, unknowingly, a denial of the truths witnessed by everyone—from the holy apostles, through the Apostolic Fathers, and in the minds and hearts of the faithful of our Church. Orthodoxy to this day, and because this means that it has fallen into the trap of (mixing, blending, or transformation, which involves changing one nature into the other), and this is illogical and unorthodox... So the logic is that our God Jesus Christ is one person with two natures, God and man (without mixing, blending, or transformation, which involves changing one nature into the other). Because as soon as you say the Lord Jesus Christ has only one nature, this means that you have fallen into the trap of mixing or blending...etc., which is an unorthodox belief... And let's not forget Bishop Apollonius, who lived in the fourth century and preached the one nature of Christ. Why did he preach the one nature? Because he believed that God the Word had replaced the human soul in Christ, meaning that Christ, in his belief, had a body without a human soul (the natural human being in all humans is a body + a human soul). Therefore, he believed that Christ had no human soul because God the Word, through the Incarnation, had removed it and replaced it. Therefore, in his belief, Christ is not a human being. He was merely a body, an instrument moved by God the Word, and thus he distorted the person of Christ as a man, and therefore the Church condemned him as a heretic.
