Was just rereading much of the dialog with NN. It makes me think of another term for Jesus – the “light”. The “light” is not a term for the pre-incarnate Word and the “light” did not exist before the Word became flesh. The “light” is a term for the human Christ and only applies while that human roamed this earth. To say the “light” is God would be wrong.

Isn’t that sort of the same thing? I wonder what NN and others would say about the “light”. If it isn’t hard to understand that the “light” refers to the human Jesus while the “Word” refers to the LORD and that both the “light” and the “Word” refer to different natures of the same “person”, then why do they have such a problem with the “Christ”? Strange.
