For a Christian to say "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us" means that we can no longer use God for our own purposes. We cannot pretend to understand God and make Him fit the categories we have made. God is beyond the categories and groups we have created. We should stop using God to justify the polarizations we have invented: conservative - liberal; pro-choice - pro-life; responsible - free-spirits; religious - pagan.
For a Christian to say "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us" means to understand that the true God reveals Himself, flesh and blood, in Jesus of Nazareth. In Jesus we see and we hear God, and there is no ambiguity in His message.
