Although I do think that some biblical scholars have argued that, in the very early church, Christ was seen as becoming God only at the crucifixion, and that this divinity was gradually read further and further back in history until they decided that he'd been God all along: it might be this that Freud's referring to, but I couldn't vouch for it.Marikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02613745498284783614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824261000607570706.post-83726250562420648572009-10-23T17:36:10.255+01:002009-10-23T17:36:10.255+01:00Isn't your suggestion that Christ only became ...Isn't your suggestion that Christ only became God (or a god) on crucifixion some sort of massive heresy?
