“This Spirit remains NOT simply contained, but flows FROM us!”
Yes, but it doesn’t physically gestate within us as a child. Thus, Mary is the mother of God because Jesus is God and she gave birth to Him. The Holy Spirit has never been PHYSICALLY carried by a woman in her womb since the Spirit has no physicality.
#1...The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal "it"...and your reductionism to that level basically convinces me you don't even know Him!!!
#2...In the article itself, I reference this phrase of Jesus: "Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit" (John 3:6)
How can your "physical" comment blunder past such a basic spiritual distinction Jesus makes? IoW, why would you even expect that who is Spirit would automatically generate some physical manifestation?
It's as if we were talking about the tri-unity components of water: Flowing water, vapor, and ice. All is water. But ice isn't vapor. And flowing water isn't (usually) ice.
You might zero in upon all the manifestations of ice. I might highlight how the same things apply to vapor.
But if you then said, "But vapor doesn't CONCRETELY PHYSICALLY..." XYZ, I'd say, "Duh! It's vapor! Nothing 'concrete' about vapor!"
The Holy Spirit has never been PHYSICALLY carried by a woman in her womb since the Spirit has no physicality.
Okay, God's choice of Mary's womb was unique. We won't see a 6-foot-tall Jesus-like miracle replicated in any womb.
But guess what? The body of Christ has expanded:
Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. (1 Cor. 12:27)
Once who was localized in the Middle East, is now universalized. Once who was singular, is now plural. "Christ in you, the hope of glory," Jesus told the Colossians (1:27)
Jesus isn't simply in heaven. He is omnipresent. He promised to be with His followers "even unto the end of the age." (Matt. 28:20)
So the new (spiritual) "womb" -- is the Church. The Holy Spirit flows from her (John 7:38-39).
**Yes, but it doesn’t physically gestate within us as a child. Thus, Mary is the mother of God because Jesus is God and she gave birth to Him.**
The Son of God doesn’t even mention a woman when speaking of his physical beginning. He gives God the credit: “Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body thou hast prepared me.......Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.” Heb. 10:5,7
God is invisible, and God is in Christ. Jesus told you that.
John told you that. Paul told you that. But, you seem determined not to believe that.
Is Jesus Christ the Son of God? (Go ahead, you can answer it. It’s not a trick question. That way you can answer something, since you probably won’t respond to the rest.)
