The nature of the Incarnation 04/22/19 (Mon) 22:04:59 3e5917 No.3248

the Eternal Word became flesh at a point in time. Does this mean that, the second Person of the Trinity (He who is eternal and CANNOT change) allowed "time" (something He created) to change His nature?

How do you define nature?

His humanity did not exist before the incarnation, unless the theophanies are, indeed, Christ Jesus.

They are, but that doesn't answer the question

So the theophanies are the post-incarnate Word, the Second Person of the Trinity? So His Incarnation gave Him a human body eternally?

The theophanies are pre-incarnate. His resurrection body is also different, maybe the same as he was in the theophanies.

My main argument is that taking on human form in the old testament did not involve taking on human nature, which he did when born as a baby.
