Christ took the flesh of His Mother and in that flesh he was related to Abraham."
What do you mean by "Christ took the flesh of His Mother"?

What do you mean by "Christ took the flesh of His Mother"? Incarnation means to "enflesh." You tell me what that means in logical terms.
I thing that is much easier to understand than how a man and woman by the sacrament of marriage "become" one flesh.
"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh" [Mat 19:4]

What do you mean by "Christ took the flesh of His Mother"? "Therefore we confess one Christ, one Son, one Lord. According to this understanding of the unconfused union, we confess the holy Virgin to be the Mother of God because God the Word took flesh and became man and from his very conception united to himself the temple he took from her" (Formula of Union [A.D. 431]).
