If God is utterly Other, than He was not born in Bethlehem. If God is too mortal, though, his birth in Bethlehem has no special significance.<br /><br />The early Christians didn't hit on some satisfactory precise philosophical resolution of the incarnation, but that's because their faith was not built on a satisfactory philosophy. It was built on Jesus.<br /><br />We should do likewise.Adam G.http://www.jrganymede.comnoreply@blogger.com
