*Some* Muslims believe that Christian believe that God had sex with Mary and provided the sperm that joined Mary’s egg. (These same misunderstand the trinity to be God, Jesus, and Mary)
But, ALL Christians proclaim that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born of the virgin Mary.

God created mankind in His own image – perfect and holy. (Genesis 1:26-27)
Man sinned and fell, and his “image” became sinful. (Genesis 3)
When Adam begot a son, Seth, it was in Adam’s fallen sinful image. (Genesis 5:3)
Could one born of woman, in the fallen sinful image of Adam bring redemption to the world?
That is, would a sinful sacrifice be acceptable to the holy LORD God Almighty?
If not, how could the “egg” of Mary and the Holy Spirit provided “sperm” form a zygote leading to the God-man, Jesus, who is said to be the only begotten Son of the Father?
Wouldn’t Mary’s egg have to be “perfect”?
Was Jesus begot in the “perfect” and “sanctified” image of Mary?
Does this give credence to the doctrine of the “Immaculate Conception”, held by Catholics?
Or did God provide the sperm AND the egg, because Mary was also sinful and needed a savior?
