So Jesus was the son of the Holy Spirit? But I thought he was the son of God, So does that mean the Holy Spirit is God? Thats what it sounds like to me.

The anti-trinitarians will tell you that ideas like "the Holy Spirit" are rhetorical devices expressing how God's power is made manifest in the world.

Just like Jesus being "son" and "only-begotten" are basically meaningless rhetorical devices. Sure Jesus is called "only-begotten" in Scripture, but that doesn't make him different from any one else.

lol, You know I guess I'm just dumb that way, I just so happen to believe that God is omnipotent, and can do as he pleases, and also believe that when He says something in His word, he means it.
