Split of Personality is not Right

JAFAR AS-SADIQ (A.S.)
SAVED SHI 'ISM FROM DESTRUCTION
When Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (A.S) was still in his infancy some people were following the example of the Christians spread the belief that the Holy Prophet, Ali ibn Abi Talib and the Imams had two natures - the nature of man and the nature of God. They were partly human and partly divine. This belief posed a great danger to their sect. The Imam fought against this thought and saved Shi'ism from disintegration. He realized that it would create differences, split the people into factions, weaken the Shia movement and finally destroy it totally.

The day he started giving lectures he vehemently opposed the idea that the Prophet of God, the Imams and he himself had half the nature of God and half the nature of man. He denied that any of them had the nature of God in. them. In his support he quoted the saying of the Prophet: "I am a man like you".
