Man are you confused! You’ve gone from Monophysism (only one nature, only Divine) to Nestorianism (two natures, two persons) all in the misguided attempt to deny the true and perfect humanity of Christ.
First, Nestorius argued against calling Mary the “mother of God” (Theotokos) going against the Catholic view of Mariology. He would only call Mary the “mother of Christ” (Christotokos) and was accused of making Christ into two persons because of holding to a difference in the two natures.
Second, the Monophysites, while insisting on only one divine nature, and rejecting the two nature view along with the throwing the human nature out with the bath water were being antagonized by Nestorius' refusal to call Mary "Theotokos." They (Monophysites) were the Mariologist. But if you want to attempt to take it a step further while denying the human nature altogether you might want to start explaining how it is that God (Father, Son, HS) in one hypostasis union “suffered and died” on the cross without doing damage to the Trinitarian hypostasis union in your denial of Christ’ Humanity.
Right now it seems you have a position of two persons with one divine nature. Some kind of weird third nature thingy???
I don’t want to overload your brain cells with all the complications you are facing when denying Christ’ humanity, but can you at least pick between your positions?!?
