Why do you say that scholars cannot (i.e. should not?) "accept" that Jesus was/is the incarnate Word?  I would love to hear your thoughts - even if it requires a new thread.I’m not sure the purpose of Christian theology is to resolve anything; rather, it enables us to humbly comprehend our faith (a little) better, so that we may live out that faith more authentically.  Only the end of time, or presumably death, will allow us some resolution.It doesn’t surprise me that many things will never be resolved… although sometimes it really irritates my analytical personality.  On good days, it actually makes me rather thankful, since it means none of us have figured God out yet!  God wouldn’t be much of a God if we could :-)
