christ, already

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Just curious, then: if the Logos was eternal, why did it have to enter history 
in the form of an actual living man?

(Not arguing...honestly curious. And sorry to get away from Wolfe. Theological 
discussions on this list sometimes seem to get contentious.)

That is precisely the case.
