Perhaps you have a problem with the English language

Perhaps I do. But, unlike some who think they understand English better, I use dictionaries just to be sure.

If you carefully review my wording I believe I said "took on" human nature. I believe that would qualify as "assume" human nature, just as "taking flesh" is synonymous with taking on (assuming) human nature.

It seems to me that perhaps you have difficulties with finer points of the English language.

I believe that the phrase Assumption of Mary is the same as taking Mary into heaven.

Perhaps you need to re-examine your Christology, for if you believe that He existed in flesh as man EN APXH your belief is not what Christianity taught from the beginning (no pun intended).

No, this is what you said:

God the Word has no flesh, no form, nor shape, no humanity.

Your explanations which followed did nothing more than dig a deeper hole.

BTW The Word BECAME FLESH.

He didn't put on a human costume. He didn't clothe himself in a human form. He did not "assume" a human form. He BECAME FLESH.

Hence your statement is just plain wrong.

Have you ever once admitted that you were wrong about anything on this forum?
