Reasoning from the possible to the actual is faulty reasoning.
I'm not. I was just asking someone if they believe or do not believe that God could have or could not have done x, y, z.
The only way Psalm 5:4 (God cannot dwell with sinfulness) and John 1:14 (God Incarnate dwelt with sinful man) can both be true is if we qualify one or the other of them as being inapplicable to a particular setting. And that is exactly what you did. You declared John 1:14 inapplicable to Jesus in the womb due to Mary's sinlessness.
When I challenged that conclusion, you pointed to the post-resurrection Mary Magdalene incident as proof that the gestational Jesus was as prone to the contaminant of sinful flesh as the pre-ascension glorified body of Jesus. But it ISN'T proof of that proposition at all. Jesus's glorified body awaiting ascension was different from His body in the womb, just as it was different from His body between birth and resurrection.
I said Ps. 5:4 and Jn. 1:14 were both true statements. I also said that God Incarnate dwelling within a sinful human is not the same as dwelling among sinful human, and I referred to Jn. 20:17 after I got the impression you believe that they are the same. Is that impression accurate or inaccurate?
Do I believe It's illogical and blasphemous to think that God would willingly Incarnate Himself in, and make His mother, a sinful and impure human? I honestly don't know the answer; I see both sides of the argument. (But I'm leaning toward No.)
Consider that God is the Most Holy and Pure One, and that God through Scripture says that the virtues of holiness and purity are to be respected in Him and achieved within ourselves with His help.
God says those pure in heart will see Him (Matt. 5:8), and to be pure in heart means to not be impure in thought, word, and deed. Therefore, why do you think it's a logical possibility that God (Purity) Who is in Heaven (the Kingdom of Purity), a place where nothing impure can enter where He is, did not enter and Incarnate Himself within One Who Is Pure in every way?
