do not Anhypostasia refer to the Nature and not the PERSON of Christ? let's look at this definition.
Anhypostasia is a doctrine that refers to the quality of Jesus Christ's humanity. It means that although Jesus Christ had two natures, a divine and a human, these are united in a single person (hypostasis), and this person is the divine Logos. The human hypostasis is superseded and replaced by the hypostasis of the divine Logos.
The quality of Jesus Christ's humanity has its existence entirely from the hypostatic union, rather than from any independent human personhood.
so, Anhypostasia is in reference to his so-callrd dual natues,,,,, nd not his Personhood.. well the bible do not agree with this doctrine. supportive scripture, Philippians 2:6 "
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:"
the Lord Jesus nature never changed, but was "ADDED to or as the bible say "took on" another NATURE, which was not his.
Philippians 2:7 "But made himself of no reputation,
and took upon him the form of a servant, and was
made in the likeness of men:"
God is not GENERATED/Born.... listen to the definition of "MADE",
G1096 γίνομαι ginomai (ǰiy'-no-mai) v.
1. to cause to be (“gen”-erate).
2. (reflexively) to become (come into being).
3. (of events) to happen.
{used with great latitude (literal, figurative, intensive, etc.):}
[a prolongation and middle voice form of a primary verb]
KJV: arise, be assembled, be(-come, -fall, -have self), be brought (to pass), (be) come (to pass), continue, be divided, draw, be ended, fall, be finished
notice definition #1,
to cause to be (“gen”-erate) God is not Generated, flesh bone and blood is. so, what was Generated? a body of flesh and blood. which God is NOT. he only "TOOK" it on. so what he "TOOK" on is not his NATURE. for he "TOOK" it off, hence the RESURRESTION.
now as for PERSON. Hebrews 1:3 "Who being the brightness of his glory,
and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;" it's the SAME ONE PERSON. for express here is synonyms with "exact" meaning his "PERSON", and that Exact person is mediator, consul, intermediator, intercessor. when used as a NOUN, "A messenger, collector, or agent for a person or company". this info. can be found here.

so, this doctrine of Anhypostasia is false. in both areas, Nature, or Personhood of the Lord Jesus .

ONE GOD TWO NATURES - Part 2
A LOOK AT THE HUMANITY OF CHRIST
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus.”
- 1 Timothy 2:5
1. The Importance of this Issue
a. It is where people break their backs, JW’s, Unitarians, Christadelphians, Muslims
b. It affects the preaching of the cross: was it an example, a fraud, or a payment?
c. Christ could only die if he was man, he could only die for our sins if he was God.
2. The Nature of Man
a. Man was created in the image of God; thus cannot become God - Gen 1:26-27
b. Man was formed of the dust of the ground (made flesh) – Gen 2:7
c. Man is a spirit, soul, body – 1 Thess 5:23, Heb 4:12
d. Man’s nature and limitations: temporal? (2 Cor 4:18), power? (Col 2:9-10), knowledge(1
John 2:20, 1 Cor 13:2), holiness(Lev 19:2), earthy(1 Cor 15:47-48)
e. Sin has changed man – Genesis 2:17, 5:3, Rom 5:12, Rom 1:20-25
f. It is man’s whole duty to keep God’s commandments – Ecc 12:13, Psa 8:4-6
3. The Two Natures of Christ
a. Jesus is a person of the Godhead; he is God: Col 2:9; Rev 1:11-17; Isa 44:6
b. He became man, added humanity not subtracted deity: Joh 1:3,10,14, Heb 7:24
c. Wrong views of the Two Natures in Christ
i. He only appears to be man – then his death was not real
ii. He is mixed God and man –then he is not your kinsman, but a new thing
iii. He is part man/ part God – then he is not either completely
iv. He can only be one at a time – then he ceases to be the other
4. Jesus’ Human Nature
a. Jesus is God, but he is also a man - 1 Timothy 2:5, 1 John 4:1-3, 2 Cor 5:16
b. Being human meant taking on flesh and blood, not flaws – John 6:54, Phil 2:5-7
c. He was made of a woman – Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, Gal 4:4, Mat 1:1, 16-18
d. He ate, slept, cried, walked, touched, talked, bled, and died.
e. As man he is not required to sin or die – Heb 4:15, 2 Cor 5:21, John 10:17-18
f. He had body, soul, and spirit, when he died and rose – Luke 23:42-52, 24:39
g. His humanity does not diminish, abandon, remove, or give up his deity.
5. Why Jesus Needed to Be Man
a. To be a proper mediator - Heb 2:9-18, 1 Tim 2:5, Gal 3:20
b. To manifest God to man – 1 Tim 3:16, John 1:18, 31
c. To sit on David’s throne – Luke 1:32, Acts 2:29-30, 2 Tim 2:8
d. To be preeminent in all things – Col 1:16-18
e. To reconcile all things to himself – Col 1:20, Rom 8:19-21
Shalom brother.
