>>When did He acquire his divinity?<<

>> From the Holy Spirit at conception. <<

Wrong! - That is when he acquired his human body, but his divinity is from everlasting to everlasting; it had no beginning, nor will it have an end.

He's right, CB. Read the Bible. In the beginning was the Word...

Technically you got me on that one. I was talking about the human body of Jesus received the divine nature at conception. Yes it had existed always but not in the body of Jesus on earth.

Christ acquired His humanity, a nature like unto ours in all things excepting sin, at His conception — body, soul, will, energies — not just his human body.

“Not assumed not redeemed!” as St. Maximus the Confessor and the other Fathers professed against monophysitism, monergianism and monothelitism.
