[Matthew]:
I think this statement is a little misdirected.  The Sonship of Christ is
dependent upon His Incarnation.  If we believe that as the Son, He was
totally spiritual, then we have a good argument for the pre-existent Son,
which is basely trinitarian.

The union of those natures is a necessity in orthodox Christology.  If we
divide them into incongruent realities and deny that He was at once both God
and man, then I fear that we reject the message of the mighty God in Christ.

Blessings.

Matthew
