Re: Holy Spirit Not A Person
So what you are saying is that God secretly amended the laws on legitimacy to create a convenient exception for himself. Why is it better to assume additional immorality on God's part rather than just accept that Jesus was technically illegitimate ?

To be honest, the Virgin Birth story probably came from a misunderstanding of Isaiah (largely due to poor translation into Greek) and the Gospel writer's insistence on finding parallels to OT writings.
​
The Nativity accounts in Luke and Matthew are so different that at least one (in my view both) must be wrong.
