[Matthew]:
Dear Bro. Reed,

I'm not trying to be contentious at all, and I think I understand your
meaning, but I don't perceive Christ, the man, as only a shell that was
animated by the spirit.  I believe that the Incarnation somehow mysteriously
fused the nature of man and the nature of God.  He is both God and man; and
whilst I believe in the evidence and distinction of natures within Him, I
don't believe that we can make the Christ only a body.

Blessings.

All Honour to Christ Jesus.
