[incomplete dictionary for assumed]

Is this all? I don't think anyone thinks that Kosta believes Christ wanted to fool us with His complete and perfect humanity. This is what I suspected, that you geenerate noise out of nothing meaningful to say.

"Assumed" in a theological discourse as everyone knows has plenty of connotations free from and sense of deception; note a quote from Ruskin below.

  1. To take upon oneself: assume responsibility; assume another's debts.
  2. To undertake the duties of (an office): assumed the presidency.
  3. To take on; adopt: “The god assumes a human form” (John Ruskin).
  4. To put on; don: The queen assumed a velvet robe.
  5. To affect the appearance or possession of; feign.
  6. To take for granted; suppose: assumed that prices would rise. See synonyms at presume.
  7. To take over without justification; seize: assume control.
  8. To take up or receive into heaven.

Yeah, John Ruskin, that great orthodox theologian. Maybe you should put a + sign in front of his name?
