    I recall (but am not up to finding at this hour) one spot in the OT where someone is talking about God feeding mankind with the milk from his breast. And I think he “birthed” ice and snow in the book of Job?

    But in this case, the Holy Spirit is the one that “came on Mary.”

    God the father and God the son are masculine, but God the spirit is without gender.

    Also, Jesus had brothers in the story, and they don’t seem to be supernatural beings, so I think it was consummated eventually.

      Jesus had brothers in the apocryphal books, that are not usually recognized as part of the Bible (the church says because they have been written later than the four main ones)
