NANCY
Walt, are you arguing that human and divine are simply two forms of the same
substance? Do you mean to say that the only difference between human and
divine is the physical state? Are you saying that sometimes Jesus was
"water" and other times he was "ice"? Are you arguing that Jesus moved back
and forth between these physical states? Can H(2)O be fully solid and fully
liquid at the same time? 

Did you get this H(2)O analogy from C.S. Lewis or Billy Graham? It sounds
like the stupid ant analogy.
