It does take us back in the direction of the original intent of the thread, and with the hope that Paul will come back into the building to further the point of the divine/human aspects of Jesus. If for Paul this step was "unthinkable", how must it be for we, who are even farther away from the narrative that lies behind Paul's attributing divinity to Jesus. Or is the point rather that it was just as unthinkable for them as it might be for us?
