Did you not see the part where I wrote..."not by fleshly manly intercourse

...BUT by the very absolute Power of God's Spirit."?

I'm not answering anything else until you address this point!

Haven't you read the Gospels of Matthew and Luke?
That u did mention. But the portion u quoted in the beginning seemed to point to what i said. Yes i have read many parts of them

Then, you've misunderstood my intention with what I've said. The point I was making is that you and your wife, when you have your genetic material intermingled in a zygote, do 'become' one. And if you can understand this basic biological fact, as most of us can these days, then you can understand that in the Mystery and Power of God's Spirit, by God's Fiat Decree, Jesus has been 'begotten' in a unique fashion within the womb of Mary. There was NO SEX ACT! God simply decreed it and made it happen by His Power.

And if you don't want to believe this, fine. But at least try to understand what Christians are saying when we say what we say. You wouldn't want one of us to take the Qu'ran, open it, attempt to read it, and then tell you that you don't understand your own Qu'ran, right? In the same way, allow for us Christians to explain our Theology to you rather than you trying to break it down and somehow 'show us' how we got our own biblical theology wrong.

But husband wife and child are still 3 different person. They don't become one person after the baby is born

If we all agree to what others believe then there is no need to preach. Its important ro debate and discuss. Some of the Christians may not agree to what you believe. For instance i am sure more than 80% of Christians would not believe Jesus as an angel(also u have not given any reference from bible for that)

Why don't you take a poll about who thinks Jesus may or may not be the incarnation of the Angel of the Lord?

The Fact is, the New Testament indicates that Jesus IS the Logos of God, which essentially, in ancient Greek though, more or less equates to a similar idea, and as we see in the Gospel of John, the Logos of God is ... God.

As I've attempted to explain elsewhere, if we use the analogy of the Light Spectrum, Jesus could in some sense (a very rough, inexact sense, of course since it's just analogy) be of the Light Spectrum, but be discerned by us as but one color of that spectrum. But I do so dislike having to use human analogies to try to explain what is a Mystery of the Faith...

The point is, Christians [more or less] believe that the Logos of God, which is God, transformed Himself and, by the Fiat Power of God, was found within the womb of Mary. No man was involved with Mary; only God's Power was involved with Jesus coming into the world as a man through Mary.

Again, I'm not saying you will believe this; I'm simply stating this so you can better understand. We Christians think that God can transform Himself, or one "frequency level" of Himself, and we Christians also believe that the Logos [the Word], who is with the Father, was placed into this world through Mary. And God did so despite the sinful nature of humanity. He did so because His love for humanity to care for us and save us is EVERY BIT AS EQUAL AND IMPORTANT as His Holiness is.

I dont agree with parts of the bible as it contradicts on many cases

Adam and eve did not have a father or a mother. Are they greater than Jesus?

Yes, that's appreciated.

Well, that's fine to some degree. You have the human right to your opinion, just like I do about the Qu'ran.

Adam and eve did not have a father or a mother. Are they greater than Jesus?
No, because simply not having an earthly father or mother isn't the determining factor (let alone the only factor) involved in what makes someone theologically "great."

Me & my wife are two different people still and we don't combine and become a third person
The persons of the Trinity dont combine either. They are three separate persons but of the same essence. Divine essence. Again no contradiction.

While there are some apparent contradictions in the Bible, there are no real ones. This can be shown by careful analysis of the passages in context both linguistic and historical.
