Christ, in putting on the flesh, took on this human nature which, though Satan had no place in him, was in the line of Adam.

I haven't thought much about the Big Red Book in quite a long time, SC. It is in the cue of things I need to pick back up. (I'm enjoy a couple of different lines at the moment.)
Thank you for calling it back to my attention, though. That little diagram showing the flesh of Christ wasn't reproduced in any other place, that I am aware of, and this "trapping" theory doesn't appear in any other volume I've ever seen. Like you, I'm not sure I buy it at this point (it was always a rather difficult concept for me in some of the particulars) but it does help to explain how all the negative things, including the enemy, were crucified...
