ABSTRACT

God would have complete direct knowledge of the contents of the mind of Christ, though Christ would have only partial direct knowledge of the mind of God. Though Christ could be related to Christ's body in all these ways in which related to bodies, God could be related to this body only indirectly, in that he was related to a person, who had more than average direct access to God's thoughts and this body is the body of that person. It is inconceivable that God should have a body. Hence it is inconceivable that Christ's body should be God's body, and so inconceivable that Christ should literally be God. However, Christ's mind might be more intimately connected with God's mind than are the minds of his (other) creature's. Of course, it may be a Christian view that God does, or perhaps did, have a body somewhere in the universe, namely the body of Christ.
