Luke 1:35 and the pre-existence of Christ.

   Luke1:35NASB"The angel answered and said to her,"The Holy Spirit will come upon you,and the power of the most high will overshadow you; for that reason also the holy child the Son of God."   


As is the case with our trinitarian friends, we often find ourselves looking for consistency from our Socinian neighbors only to come away empty. We are told that the above quoted passage of scripture precludes Jesus' having a pre-human existence. Jesus could not be a superhuman Son of God before being made a human Son of God(mind you,just why this would be the case is never specified 'just take our word it' seems to be the rationale). But as tends to be the case when we probe as to just how far our opponents are willing to take their logic,the trip turns out to be a rather short one.


Acts13:33NASB "That God has fulfilled his promise to those of us who are the descendants by raising Jesus,as it is written in the second psalm:'You are my Son;today I have Fathered you.'


So are our Socinian friends willing to stick to their interpretive logic here as well?
