Thank you Kolo, and A8. Let me say that I do understand P-Marlowe's concern and Blogger's objections. To them, asserting the Word's divinity is somehow diminishing Christ's humanity, which is not the case, of course.

That's not really where I was parked, Kosta. To me, it appeared that you were saying that he never really BECAME human but just put on a human form. Jesus was 100% fully human. He was also 100% fully God.

With P-Marlowe's concern, the words "assumed" and "put on" do have a connotation of not really becoming. I assume an identity. I'm not really that person, but I am pretending I am.

Your earlier statement about God the Word never being flesh was not clear as to what you meant. It didn't sound like you were asserting His divinity. It sounded like you were denying His humanity.
