More Evidence that Cameron Bertuzzi is Clueless: The Example of Divine Embodiment

Cameron Bertuzzi (who does not have a working knowledge of the Old Testament) has been refuted by Jacob Hansen on whether God is "limited" if he is embodied:

Bertuzzi's comments about an embodiment God being "limited" shows that he is clueless about his own Trinitarian theology. Note the following from Chalcedon:

Following the holy Fathers, we unanimously teach and confess one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ: the same perfect in divinity and perfect in humanity, the same truly God and truly man, composed of rational soul and body; consubstantial with the Father as to his divinity and consubstantial with us as to his humanity; "like us in all things but sin". He was begotten from the Father before all ages as to his divinity and in these last days, for us and for our salvation, was born as to his humanity of the virgin Mary, the Mother of God. (DS 301)

We confess that one and the same Christ, Lord, and only-begotten Son, is to be acknowledged in two natures without confusion, change, division or separation. The distinction between the natures was never abolished by their union, but rather the character proper to each of the two natures was preserved as they came together in one person (prosopon) and one hypostasis. (DS 302)

On the Biblical evidence for God the Father (not simply the Son) being embodied, as well as a response to standard prooftexts cited against it (e.g., John 4:24), see my essay:

Lynn Wilder vs. Latter-day Saint (and Biblical) Theology on Divine Embodiment

One thing is clear that Cameron has not cracked open a book by a Latter-day Saint or engaged in primary research material, but what he finds in 10-second google searches.
