The Dual Nature perfectly articulates, in my opinion, the union of God with man in a way which would not cofuse the two (Deity and Humanity) or effect the one with the other, but at the same time allow the person, Jesus Christ, to be both. Jesus was both God and Man at the same time. Jesus was God because of his Divinity. Jesus was man because of his Humanity. Jesus the total person prayed to the Father because of the human nature but it was the total person who prayed or else the person is destroyed and is reduced to dual personalities trapped in a body.
Jesus (God existing as a man) could be anointed by, indwelt by, be witnessed to, pray to, love and be loved by God his Father (God continuing to exist as He always has) without creating two in the Godhead or confusing the person of Christ and having Jesus pray to himself. The dual nature makes this possible. In my opinion.
