>>It has been both said and suggested that the child to be born is not the Second person of the Trinity.<<

I have not seen anyone make that claim. Could you please point out where you saw that?


Please refer to your post 1717

I asked: “So how can it be that Mary did not conceive and give birth to the Second person of the Trinity”?

You responded: “Because the second person of the trinity pre-dated Mary by at least a couple of years.”

There have been other posts, as well.

Dude!!! Reading comprehension is paramount here. You reference post 1717 which includes your statement.

>>I asked: “So how can it be that Mary did not conceive and give birth to the Second person of the Trinity”?<<

Conceive - to think of or create, to cause to begin.

My response was that she could NOT have conceived "caused to begin" the third person of the trinity because the third person of the trinity preceded Mary. That does NOT indicate that Jesus was not the third person of the trinity. The human and divine natures are united yet Mary could not have possibly "conceived" "caused to begin" the third person of the trinity.

So, NO, I did NOT say Jesus was not the third person of the trinity.
