I've corrected you several times now, and even warned you about the consequences of where your beliefs will lead you. You've chosen to hand wave them away.
You're playing games again.
The issue, as I've repeated many times now, isn't that Jesus has two natures (which is the orthodox view), its that Jesus only had ONE (1) nature before his incarnation and then TWO (2) natures after his incarnation. You do not accept this. You believe instead that Jesus had TWO (2) natures before and after his incarnation. That is the issue.

John 1:1 is saying that Jesus and the Father have an interpersonal relationship and share a divine nature/essence.[quote]Yes.
More correctly, other than the Father, and God too.
Incorrect. Jesus assumed his second nature at the incarnation.
If you are asserting that Jesus was sent, then yes, how he was with God changed. But his divine nature that he shares with God did not change.
Whelp. You're wrong. Or at least, you're wrong according to orthodox doctrine on Jesus' Christology.
Yes. The Son of God is distinct from the Father in a number of ways including the particular roles they play within the Trinity, their respective relationship with one another, and their relation to creation.
