If the son was the Spirit, God, and God impregnated Mary, then the son(God) impregnated Mary.Where do you get that idea?

If the son was the Spirit, God, and God impregnated Mary, then the son(God) impregnated Mary.Where do you get that idea?
I didn't mention it .. That term was mentioned in the Link I gave on Philo .. I did not claim that the HS was a demiurge .. or that all of the various Logos concepts that existed at the time were the same as what Paul was stating. '
You are confused.
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.Jesus was asking him, Are you acknowledging my Deity or is it something else?
The Spirit of God became one with the egg in the womb of the virgin Mary...but He was not then the Son but the Holy Ghost.If the son was the Spirit, God, and God impregnated Mary, then the son(God) impregnated Mary.
'Of course it doesn't. The Trinity is sound doctrine; and gnosticism is heresy
The Holy Spirit is God Himself (Acts of the Apostles 5:3-4).
The Holy Ghost's origins can be found in Luke 23:46. He was released back to the Father to dwell side-by-side with Him (John 1:1). He was always the same Spirit as the Father (John 4:23-24, John 14:7-11; John 4:23-24, John 7:39, Ephesians 4:4).
He proceeds from the Father because He is the Spirit of Jesus; and the Father, as He was released from Jesus' body back into eternity to exist side-by-side with the Father.

Trinity > History of Trinitarian Doctrines (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)This supplementary document discusses the history of Trinity theories. Although early Christian theologians speculated in many ways on the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, no one clearly and fully asserted the doctrine of the Trinity as explained at the top of the main entry until around the end of the so-called Arian Controversy. (See 3.2 below and section 3.1 of the supplementary document on unitarianism.) Nonetheless, proponents of such theories always claim them to be in some sense founded on, or at least illustrated by, biblical texts.
Since Jesus is God, He could not in that verse have been denying that He was God.And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
Really?
There is zero resemblance to your description of the verse.
This is how the Bible get's mistranslated(classic example for all to see).
You just described the son impregnating his mother.The Spirit of God became one with the egg in the womb of the virgin Mary...but He was not then the Son but the Holy Ghost.
The Sonship of Christ has to do with the hypostatic union...the fact that He is come in the flesh.
Is Jesus also implying he was God in the following chapter too?...Since Jesus is God, He could not in that verse have been denying that He was God.
This doesn't change the fact that the doctrines are very similar in some respects.
How does the HS "Proceed from the Father" = go out from the Father - separate from the Father ..
Once again - there is nothing in the NT that can be defacto claims "Jesus is God - "The Father'
He was not denying that He was God...for there was a Spirit dwelling in Jesus Christ....see John 14:7-11.Is Jesus also implying he was God in the following chapter too?...
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Satan knew that God was inside His only begotten son, then Satan got an earful from the son's inner God.
No, the Spirit is not the Son; except after He is incarnated in flesh.You just described the son impregnating his mother.
He was not denying that He was God...for there was a Spirit dwelling in Jesus Christ....see John 14:7-11.
satan is not the "Advocate"...Jesus is (1 John 2:1).The job of "The Advocate" The Tester of of Job and Genesis .. is to test man - (and in this case the Son of Man)
The "Advocate" was given this job by God .. and the Tester does not act outside the will of his Boss -
Of course Jesus had access to the Spirit...He is the Spirit from the moment of conception (Luke 1:35).
The demons knew that Jesus was the Son of God, so why wouldn't the devil also be aware of the same?
I'm sure the devil knows scripture better than you and me...so he understood that, Jesus being the son that was given, meant that He was also "The everlasting Father" (Isaiah 9:6).
The idea that Satan would knowingly ask God to Bow down to him .. goes against everything we know about Satan from the OT.
There is no similarity.
They are not separate but distinct.
Jesus is also human. 100% Man and 100% God in the hypostatic union.if Jesus is God. There is nothing to test..
FAITH IN JESUS ONLY . Now who would argue with that .Sola Fide is the doctrine of Salvation by "Faith Alone" introduced by Martin Luther.
OK .. so the HS is separate.
Are they separate .. or are they not separate ?
How does the HS get "separate" .. and proceed from the Father - while remaining one with the Father - without being an emanation from the Father .. which simply means separate .. but still connected.
You have claimed the HS is "Separate" from the father
is it the "Still connected" part that you are having trouble with ?
