(urth) Silk corrupted?

[David Stockhoff]

Oh, come on. Christ has had a dual nature only since the Nicene Creed of 325!

Seriously, you could just as well be describing the Monophysite or Arian Christs as Severian and Silk. Let's recall that you aren't comparing a real thing to a fictional thing. You are comparing fictional things to one another. As far as I can see, THEY ARE ALL CHRISTS. Wolfe's religion is secondary, because he could be holding up heretical Christs to compare them to the Chalcedonic Christ. We know his personal preference. So what?

THEY ARE ALL CHRISTS. Even if he is deliberately showing us only how partial they are---which I do not believe.

And this is true regardless of your religious beliefs, aside from Bible fundamentalist Bible literalism.

Just saying.

Severian (and Silk) are human beings. They each have a single, human,
nature. Christ is unique, in Christianity in that He has a dual nature,
being both human and God. He is the only being in the Christian World that
has such a dual nature. He can manifest through other beings, and this is
what is happening with Severian and Silk.
