Hello, and please forgive me. I think your name is Vince, but I'm not sure. I have been gone since early this morning; hence the delay in getting back to you. I am really, really glad though that I was gone, because in my absence you have had time to post several messages, which I have had opportunity to read before answering this one. That is a good thing because it has helped me to kind of get a feel for who you are. I must say, I am impressed! You have a wonderful way of saying things -- really simply, really clearly, really nicely. I will have you in mind when striving myself to do the same.
I appreciate what you have to say regarding my comment: "But the Son was not always Jesus; i.e., he was not always Incarnate." I should have been more selective in my choice of wording. Thank you for clearing this up.
