The following scriptures are some scriptures one has presented with the claim these scriptures show that Jesus posseses "two natures" -- the nature of being the Supreme Being and also the nature of being a human being, at once:
2 Corinthians 5:19; 1 Corinthians 15:47; John 1:14; 1 Timothy 3:16; John 10:30.
And yet not one of these scriptures say anything at all to the effect that Jesus was ever the Supreme Being, or that Jesus, while he was in the days of his flesh (Hebrews 5:7), had two levels of glory or two levels of being at once. Any such concept has to be imagined and assumptions assumed beyond what is written, and then those assumptions have to added to, and read into, what is actually stated. Not only this, in many of the verses, it is obvious that one would have to take what is said out of context in order to make them appear to support the added-on concept.
2 Corinthians 5:18,19: "God" is depicted one person, and he performs his work of reconciling the world "in" -- by means of, through -- Jesus.
See the study:
God in Christ
1 Corinthians 15:47: Paul refers to the second "man" from heaven; he is not saying that Jesus is a human being in heaven, but rather that Jesus, having been raised in the spirit (1 Peter 3:18), now has a body that corresponds to the spiritual body that is assigned to new creature.

The Manner of the Resurrection
John 1:14 does not say that God Almighty became flesh; it this were true, then the very substance of the Most High became flesh.
See the study:
The Logos Made Flesh
1 Timothy 3:16 is not correct in the KJV; the reference is to the mystery of Christian's piety toward God. Nevertheless, even at reads in the KJV, it does not say that Jesus possessed two levels of sentiency at once.
See the studies:
1 Timothy 3:16 – Mystery of Godliness Revealed
1 Timothy 3:16 – Mystery of the Godhead?
John 10:30 - Jesus did indeed say that he was one with his God and Father, the only true Supreme Being who had sent him. (John 10:30; 17:1,3) He also prayed that his followers would have this same oneness with the only true Supreme Being who had sent him. -- John 17:1,3,11,20-23.
