[lbo-talk] more on the econ Nobel

[C. G. Estabrook]

They did say fully God, as well as fully human.  But humanity
and divinity are not two examples of personalities.  The Greek
philosophers at Chalcedon knew that they couldn't say that God
and man are two of anything.  There is no category to which
they both belong (not even being or "things").  God and the
universe don't add up to two (two what?).  That's why the
Incarnation isn't an example of hybridity -- like a mule or an
ape-man. --CGE
