FK: "Christ the Word was never born. Jesus the Christ was born to Mary."

So let me get this straight: God the Word was physically in the Womb, yet something else other than Him passed through the birth canal?

No, God the Word was unified with God the man and that unified Incarnation passed through Mary's birth canal normally, I contend. I know I'm not getting any lovin' for it, but remember that I AM the one guy on my side who doesn't have any problem with "Theotokos" (with qualifications). :)

FK, do you think that "God the man" is a person? I ask that because I know we agree that "God the Word" is a Person. But it sounds like you believe that "God the man" is a person. In that case, however, there would be two persons passing through Mary's birth canal. That would be Nestorianism. :-)

FK, there is no God the man. There is God the Word, whose divine nature united with Mary's human nature.
