Before the Incarnation, the Holy Trinity was:
God the Father, God the Word, God the Holy Spirit.
# - God the Holy Spirit formed Jesus’ fetus in Mary’s womb.
Jesus was called “the Son of God” …
because the Holy Spirit was Jesus’ “father”
(“He played the role of” Jesus’ father).
# - God the Word became flesh (Jesus).
So, can we say the Word was Jesus, and Jesus was the Word?
Jesus Christ was “fully man” via God the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ was “fully God” via God the Word.
Several NT verses say Jesus Christ came down from heaven.
On the surface, this sounds ridiculous,
but it is referring to the God part of Jesus (God the Word).
God the Father, God the Word, God the Holy Spirit.
