Boolean Christ

Yes, yes, I said I was going nomail. This is my last post for a while, I
mean it. I just got the 1189th digest and found that some people were
arguing whether being the Son of God was boolean (true, false, no other
option).

"Is he your father?"
"Yes."
"Ah, but is he completely your father?"
"Well, I don't think my genes were spliced, mixed, and matched; I only
have one father, and he's it."*
"But is he your father because he begat you or because he raised you and
you respect and obey him?"
"Yes."

See? Partial fatherhood doesn't work.

*That's just with organisms; does a spirit contain genes? That only
benefits my argument.

Wow! A bannerman _and_ a blacksmith all in one, I'm feeling like Perrin
Aybara!
