jazzact13,

You still need to define “God Incarnate” before we can determine where we agree and disagree. That is an “extra-biblical” phrase so it is something that has been implied on top of the texts. I have no problem with it but I likely don’t mean the same thing as you. The phrase itself IS in fact a redefinition of what Jesus was. So in a sense, I’m redifining a redefinition in order to get back to an original meaning.

For me, to incarnate something means to live out an idea or in a metaphorical sense make an idea “flesh”. I don’t see it as meaning a spiritual being has become a physical being. I don’t believe in spiritual “beings” so that doesn’t even fit on my radar screen. What is a spritual being? Are we to believe in ghosts or literal disembodied souls now in the 21st century? Are we having this conversation in a mental institution?
