Contradictory Statements on the Nature of Christ

If you want to start a heated discussion in an Adventist church, bring up the subject of the nature of Christ! Mrs. White took two contradictory positions on the nature of Christ:

Unfallen nature Fallen nature
We should have no misgivings in regard to the perfect sinlessness of the human nature of Christ. (Selected Messages, Vol. 1, p. 256) Notwithstanding that the sins of a guilty world were laid upon Christ, notwithstanding the humiliation of taking upon Himself our fallen nature, the voice from heaven declared Him to be the Son of the Eternal. (Desire of Ages, p. 112)
He was to take His position at the head of humanity by taking the nature but not the sinfulness of man. (S.D.A. Bible Commentary, Vol. 7, p. 912) By thus taking humanity, he honored humanity. Having taken our fallen nature, he showed what it might become, by accepting the ample provision he has made for it, and by becoming partaker of the divine nature. (Special Instruction Relating to the Review and Herald Office, p. 13)
Not possessing the passions of our human, fallen nature, but compassed with like infirmities, tempted in all points even as we are. (Testimonies, vol. 2, p. 509) It was in the order of God that Christ should take upon himself the form and nature of fallen man. (Spirit of Prophecy, vol. 2, p. 39)
