So, NO, I did NOT say Jesus was not the third person of the trinity.
I agree that you did not say Jesus was not the third person of the Trinity. We were discussing the second person of the Trinity.
Regardless of who wrote what, do you agree that the Son of God is the second person of the Trinity?
Because that is the central point.
The Angel Gabriel said to Mary (from KJV): “thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.”
The word ‘conceive’ in this sense means “to become pregnant.”
That is why Mary said: “How shall this be, seeing I know not a man”?
And the angel responded: “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.”
Is “that holy thing which shall be born of” Mary and “shall be called the Son of God” the same God that is the second person of the Trinity?
To become pregnant - to cause to begin - to have a conception - to begin a new life.
So do you believe the second person of the trinity was conceived in Mary? Did Mary's pregnancy cause the second person of the trinity to begin? Yes or no?
