We are probably getting too technical. The "incarnation story" means the whole picture -- to me. I understand the "gospel" to be the death,burial and resurrection, which, when fully understood, is the "good news." At any event -- I do not think any of this qualifies me as a humanist or someone whose doctrine is to be feared and/or opposed ....................... right???

What you have just described is the Gospel. The incarnation is just a small part of that, God taking on flesh, being born of aa virgin to become a sacrifice for our sins.I am confused. I thought you said that the incarnation doctrine was a teaching of man - now, it appears that you do have a place for it. Let me say this -- the Incarnation story is the story of Jesus and all that He did and all that He is. He is the one who said "I am the first and last." If you are the first one in line and the last -- all at the same time, you are the ONLY ONE in line. There is nothing else going on other than Jesus. He indwells my life, convicts me of sin, and patiently waits on me to be what He lovingly wants me to be. You call this heresy -- I call it the truth. AND, I believe it is the truth in YOUR LIFE, WHETHER YOU CARE TO ADMIT IT OR NOT.JD
