You say the spirit came down and went back up, so he existed before He became flesh. Okay, we are fine so far.
I wrote: "What are you talking about. In no way have I suggested that Christ was not pre-existent. The body (flesh) that he came in was not pre-existent though. So this argument is irrelevant to what I have stated..."
I responded I am not suggested that Christ did not exist before he became flesh. Okay fine, we agree he did exiest before he came flesh. Then I added, His flesh body was not preexistent though.
To which you responded: "However His nature or essence did pre-exist His incarnation. The Son existed with the Father and the Holy Spirit in the beginning."
And you responded, His spirit pre-existed. And you say I am confused. You just are not reading what I am writing. For one, your response is irrelevant another time. And if you were reading my posts you would have noticed me saying this:
" But He came from the father and returned to Him. Not that he was a different individual, but He was in (a part of) Him."
This further shows that you are not interested in listening to what anyone has to say except for you and those who agree with you. Because, I said the same words you did slightly. We both agreed a while back that he came down and went back up. And yet you are still arguing that point and have the nerve to call me confused. Look at what else you are saying...

Later you'd write "The Holy Spirit is God so my question involves identifying the Holy Spirit as a distinct entity in Scripture."
Who is confused? Me or you? I see you as being confused and if I believe your doctrine I guess I would be just as confused. First you say it was the Holy Spirit and not God. Now, you say that the Holy Spirit is God. Wow, how simple you explain things for us. I understand what you are saying, but you do not.
You are saying that the Spirit of God, was the God that was moving on the Earth and not the God, who is the Father. (more than one God).
Maybe you can answer these questions since Omega ran away from them...
Yet they say God was made flesh, but [is] not the Father or the Spirit.
Was God made flesh? Was the God that was made flesh the Father or Spirit?
THey say GOd gave gifts to men, but [is] not the Son or the Father
Did God give gifts? Is this GOd that gave gifts to men, The Father and Son?
They say the Father is God, but [is] not the Son or the Spirit
Is the Father God? Is the Father the same God that came in the flesh or is there another God that did that?
Now I bet you have a lot to say, but will not answer one couplet of these questions. Because if you answer them honestly, your falsehood is exposed by your own mouth. And it shows that Trinitarian believe in more than one God or either they have been misled by a false doctrine.
God bless...
