I would say that the majority of Mormons are more in favor of a high Christological approach. Especially since low Christology is associated with a non-literal explanation of the resurrection. The sinless nature of Christ is a dominant part of our teachings dealing with his humanity. This is an interesting point of view, but would you go so far as to say that sinlessness or perfection means that a God cannot suffer or experience emotions? I wouldn't want to touch the DNA issue, if I were either you or Elder Hafen. :) You say that you don’t think Christ’s DNA was more divine than yours. I would be interesting in hearing some of the permutations of this belief as it concerns the Divine Sonship of Jesus Christ, and our belief in the corporeality of God. I've done a post tangentially related to this issue for Mormon Matters which comes up on Thursday--take a look at it! Thank you for your thoughts.

And I love to read these thoughts from others--so thank-you!
