who was of Booz

I'd like to be of Booz, but my wife says it's too early.

It's after 5pm somewhere, in fact it's after 5pm here. I'm going to go be of booz and then maybe some of what passes for Christology on this forum will make some sense.

I suppose I've had it very easy, I grew up in a strict evangelical/holiness home and was never exposed to anything outside of the Wesleyan tradition during my formative years. Even the distinctive Baptist beliefs of some of my relatives were hidden by whispered discussions between my parents. After my extended flirtation with applied atheism Catholicism just filled in all the holes in the theology I was exposed to as a child. If anyone had ever given me this business about Our Lord "becoming" divine I think I would have flirted with professional alcoholism.

Adoptionism is a square peg in a round hole, come to that it's not even a peg, it's a cheese sandwich. Although my father was struggling with modalism which is similarly weird, he gave it up for lent one year. It's in that area that I see the tragic failure of Protestantism which bases itself on Scripture alone, each generation reinvents the wheel and usually gets almost everything wrong in an almost infinite variety of error.
