He is not intending to speak of the temporal now, but of a timeless truth concerning the divine nature of the Second Person of the Trinity.

That is not what he was speaking of. He was speaking of "God the Word" in the present tense.

Are you saying that Jesus Christ is not "God the Word"?

Why don't you just let kosta speak for himself. So far he has not attempted to modify his statement as you have. He is sticking by his statement and you are defending him by modifying his statement.

Do you agree with the statement: "God the Word has no flesh, no form, nor shape, no humanity."??

Yes or no.

I'm not stopping him from speaking for himself. I'm trying to answer the questions you asked me.

That's because you seem to ignore everything I write.

The present tense is the transcendental "eternal present" which applies to Logos, God the Word, now as it did before all ages and it will unto all ages.

The Word was not always Incarnate; there was a time when He was not Incarnate.

That's why I said God the Word is without a body, immaterial; it is the pre-Incarnate Word. I would never refer to the Incarnate Word as just God the Word, for the Incarnate Word has a human Name, Jesus Christ.

Are you saying that God the Word changed into something else after the Incarnation? He did not change; He assumed humanity in addtion to His divinity.
