No, God the Word was unified with God the man and that unified Incarnation passed through Mary's birth canal normally, I contend.

FK, do you think that "God the man" is a person? I ask that because I know we agree that "God the Word" is a Person. But it sounds like you believe that "God the man" is a person. In that case, however, there would be two persons passing through Mary's birth canal. That would be Nestorianism. :-)

In the way I am using the term, "God the man" is not a person in the sense of being one of the Trinity. Christ "the person" created Mary. In addition, Jesus was fully a man. Am I being clear? LOL! :)

I use "personhood" in the Trinitarian sense. Only one Christ passed through Mary's birth canal. While Christ had fully a human nature and a divine nature, He was nonetheless "One", AND "One" with the Father and the Spirit.
