"Now surely the WORD is instructive regarding the unsettled claimed process that man in flesh have divined."

More from the same work by Benedict XVI:Thus every individual part derives its meaning from the whole, and the whole derives its meaning from its end -- from Christ. Hence we only interpret an individual text theologically correctly (as the Fathers of the church recognized and as the faith of the church in every age has recognized) when we see it as a way that is leading us ever forward, when we see in the text where this way is tending and what its inner direction is.

Christ was there in the beginning and it was from the man Adam formed for the purpose that is traced generation to generation to the conception and birth of Christ. The Bible is 'HIS'story from the Adam and his generations and the other peoples on this earth they came in contact.

NO where is there even a hint or suggestion that the 'perfection' of Christ originated out of a hot steamy pot of pond scum. IT was purposed to be the way it is Written because Christ was there since Genesis 1:1 In the beginning..... and as Peter calls it the 'age' that WAS.
