Paul Dean 23 mins · Edited God cannot make a square circle, or a married bachelor, or a one-ended stick. We call these logical contradictions. So why isn't the term "100% man and 100% God" a logical contradiction? By the way - I know the answer, but want to hear your views. Michael Schellman: Well, if we use the same kind of reasoning that is used in the concept of the Trinity. The distinction between God and Man is not a distinction of degree (to which percentages can be assigned), nor is it a distinction of opposites God/Not Man, Man/Not God. To state that man is not God does not mean that he is something contrary to God, but rather that the category of God is occupied by a unique identifiable being YHVH, the Creator of the universe. That God chose to become a man, not the approximation of a man, or a partial man, but a true flesh and blood man - this act did not cause him to cease being God.
